Best Beach in Nashville

"Located in Scarborough, about a 30-min drive from downtown Toronto, Bluffer’s Park is part of the Scarborough Bluffs, a geologic formation that stretches 15km along the shores of Lake Ontario. There are eleven parks found within the Scarborough Bluffs but Bluffer’s Park is one of the most popular spots for locals and visitors alike. Situated right at the foot of the Bluffs, the park offers walking trails, lookout points and picnic and beach areas."

"Located at the foot of the Scarborough Bluffs on the east side of the city, Bluffer’s Park Beach is one of the most scenic in the city thanks to those towering bluffs that create a dramatic backdrop. The soft sand beach here is popular for its length, the beautiful views you have while you’re here and the access to nearby hiking trails and bike paths. Facilities include drinking fountains, change rooms, washrooms, and a picnic site."

"If you want to combine a day of hiking and swimming, head to Bluffers Beach Park beneath the stunning Scarborough Bluffs on Brimley Road. This Blue Flag-certified beach boasts gorgeous views, a marina, pic-nic areas and, of course, soft sands you’ll want to run on. The famous Bluffs were formed by the erosion of packed clay and are a 5,000-year-old escarpment, so bring your camera and post photos for cultural bragging rights."

"Head to the eastern shores of Toronto’s stunning waterfront and splash in the waters at Woodbine Beach. This urban beach is located near a residential area and features a playground, volleyball nets and miles of sandy waterfront ideal for creating sandcastles under the sun. There is a nearby outdoor pool with changing rooms, showers and a water bottle filling station to keep you hydrated."

"The beach is located in the neighbourhood called “The Beaches”. The Beaches are in the city’s east end – and it’s actually exactly where we lived for the better part of 2017 when we lived in Toronto!. Woodbine Beach is a massive (and massively popular) sandy and rocky beach with access to swim in Lake Ontario."

"Woodbine Beach is a popular 15.2 hectare, broad and beautiful curve of sand and one of the city’s best gateways to the Lake Ontario shoreline. Woodbine Beach is a popular spot for picnics, sunbathing and swimming. It is also the site of annual fireworks on Victoria Day, and Canada Day."

"Although not a certified eco-friendly beach, water levels at Sunnyside Beach near Lakeshore Boulevard are tested daily so you will know if it’s safe to swim here and if the water meets provincially established safety standards. It’s typically not too busy here, which makes it a grandiose destination. If you go exploring, you will likely notice cyclists and rollerbladers zooming along the nearby Martin Goodman Trail, which is part of the Waterfront Trail System."

"Check the water report before you decide to swim at Sunnyside (it can be iffy at times), but if you want a sparse area to spread out, this may be the beach for you. Sunnyside doesn’t get as packed as other beaches in the area and is great for reading a book, listening to the water, or taking a beach nap."

"One of the first things you notice about Sunnyside Beach is the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion which was built in 1922 with art deco features. The beautiful pavilion sets the stage for a beach trip with a nostalgic vibe. The beach is rarely crowded despite its downtown location, making it a nice getaway."

"A beautiful yet desolate beach that has long been a recreation point for Torontonians, in fact its where Babe Ruth hit his first professional home-run. This is also Toronto’s only clothing-optional beach. Where: Located on the shores of Lake Ontario on Toronto Islands, Toronto"

"Probably best known for its “clothing optional” section, don’t let that scare you away from this beach. Hanlan’s Point Beach is perfect for your next getaway. Located on Toronto Island, you’ll have to take a short ferry ride to get there."

"There are beaches on the island but know in advance that Hanlan’s Beach is a nude beach. You can catch a ferry to and from the island."

"Enjoy the pink umbrellas in all their cuteness at Sugar Beach. It’s definitely prettier (and warmer lolz) during the spring and summer, but you can come here all year-round if you want to. It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"Why You Need To Go: With white sandy shores and pretty pink umbrellas, you'll feel like you're in a 1950s paradise here."

"Ward’s Island Beach is one of several beaches on the Toronto Islands along with Centre Island Beach, Hanlan’s Point Beach and Gibraltar Point Beach. A short ferry ride from downtown Toronto, you can find this scenic beach on the southeastern shore of Toronto Island Park and because it’s set away from most of the action of other parts of the island and a more residential area, it tends to be a bit quieter. The water here is mostly calm and shallow making it good for swimming, and there is a volleyball net for beach volleyball fans and a disc golf course nearby."

"Ward’s Island is located on the Toronto Islands where you need to take a ferry to get to it. Ward’s Beach is on the eastern side of the island and is a little more removed and quieter than the other beaches the Island offers. This Blue Flag Certified beach has some nice views and a cafe nearby."

"Ward’s Island Beach is a beautiful hidden gem with calm and clear waters. Take Ward’s Island ferry to get to the beach. Where: Located on the shores of Lake Ontario on Toronto Islands, Toronto"

"Families flock to Centre Island Beach on the eastern shores of Toronto Island. Facing Lake Ontario, the area is accessible by ferry or water taxi. Despite being only fifteen minutes from downtown Toronto, you’ll feel like you’ve left town once you hit the sandy shores and clear blue water crashing against the shore (worry not, a rock breakwater is in place to keep kids safe)."

"The beach is located on the southern shore of Toronto Island Park, in an area also known as “Manitou Beach”. Centre Island Beach has very calm, shallow, and slightly warm waters because the rock breakwater was built to provide a barrier from the open lake. This beach is an ideal place for the entire family to go for a walk, swim, relax, picnic, and enjoy the scenery."

"You have to take a ferry to get to Centre Island, but it’s a mere 15-minute boat ride from downtown making it a great and close escape. Despite being close to the city, Centre Island feels like it’s a world away and brings all the beach vibes with it."

"What was once the Gibraltar Beach Sand Dunes is now a nice stretch of sandy shores between Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands. This Blue Flag-certified beach is under the radar and is accessible from the main ferry to Centre Island or the Hanlan’s Point Ferry at the docks. The islands are actually connected, so you can walk from one to the other."

"A post shared by Hemingway's Bar + Restaurant (@hemingways.to) on Dec 13, 2018 at 3:21pm PST. Hemingway’s Restaurant & Bar is “the” place to spend a fun evening. The large restaurant features three bars, four patios, 24 beers on tap, and enough television screens to please any sports fanatic."

"Hemingway’s is one of our favourite open-all-year-round rooftop patios, but it’s obviously incredible during the warmer months. Dine here if you’re looking for low key pub-style eats and a great view of Yorkville."

The entire experience mimics the relaxing properties of a traditional steam room, though amped up for the individual."

"I’m going to assume that Spa My Blend is code for something that regular spa-goers may be familiar with, but to me, it just seems like a cool catchphrase that I’ll just pretend to understand (smile and wave boys, just smile and wave).
