There are plenty of historic buildings and independent specialty shops, but the main selling point is several kilometers of boardwalk surrounded by a sandy beach. « less

If you want to just chill, relax and walk your dog........... It has a beautiful boardwalk and considerably well maintained and clean considering it can get crowded.

Good place to take family and friends when it is hot and humid. Great views, well kept. Parking could be better but you can find it if you look hard enough.

This is down the street from my work so I get to head down to the beach on lunch break. Living in and around Toronto most of my life I was shocked that I didn't know this existed until 2 summers ago. I've moved to the area now and am also within walking distance. It gets crowded by the water,... More

Glass can sometimes be found in the sand. Sand, if you can call it that is not the typical beach quality sand; it is rough and clunky. There is lose gravel bits here and there. The boardwalk is in need of major repair. There are rotted segments and sometime there are loose nails sticking up. Some days the flies are... More

If you can't get out of town, this is second best to going up north. The beach is beautful, the boardwak is long and you can ride, run, walk, enjoy. A great place to have a picnic and get away from the hustle and bustle of city streets. Later go up to Queen street and have dinner in one of... More

Volleyball, frequented by dog walkers and joggers. Boardwalk to walk - watch out for all the baby strollers. Hard to get parking by late morning. You can also park by the theatre and walk over.

Now I did go on the long weekend but the beach was packed and there was no where to really rest as there were lots of people milling around. There was garbage everywhere it looked like it hadn't been cleaned up in some time. I will visit again when it is not during a heatwave ... perhaps it was just... More

At Queen and Woodbine you start to enter an area known as the beaches. It has a lovely boardwalk tons of shops that you can meander through. There is an abundance of places to eat and you can spend the day exploring this area. Great for families, couples and even a solo trip to the beach. I took a camera... More
