After your exploration through this downtown nature station, mosey north into Leslieville and refuel with a coffee and baked good from Remarkable Bean (1103 Queen St. E.), a family-operated business slinging fair-trade organic beans. If you’re more than peckish, take-away from Completo (5 Coady Ave.) is where you can sink your teeth into loaded sandwiches and tacos."

"The Leslie Street Spit, as it was then, was originally built as a breakwater from millions of cubic metres of concrete and fill in the 1950s. But after it was no longer needed it was realized that it had become an unintentional wilderness, and so was given to the Toronto and Regional Conservation Authority in the 1970s. Now, this five kilometre peninsula jutting out into Lake Ontario covers over 250 hectares and is home to ten kilometres of paved trails."

"Toronto's favorite and best-known park is a wonderful place to unfurl a picnic blanket, swim, play tennis, bike around, skate on the Grenadier Pond in the winter, or in the spring meander through the groves of cherry blossoms donated to the park by the Japanese ambassador in 1959. There's also a theatrical stage, a small children's zoo and Colborne Lodge, built in 1836 by the Howard family, who donated much of High Park to the city in 1873."

"A must for those interested in learning more about the history of the city and its surroundings, Black Creek Pioneer Village lies just half an hour’s drive northwest of the center. A popular place to visit, the huge open-air heritage museum shines a light on what rural life in Ontario was like during the early nineteenth century. Founded in 1960, the village now has more than forty wonderfully well-restored historic buildings that include a church, blacksmiths, and schoolhouse among others."

"Time machines might not yet be part of our world, but you can experience a bygone era of Canada when you come to Black Creek Pioneer Village. This is a museum that puts you in the shoes of someone living in the 19th century. You can really get a sense of what people did to get by during these rougher times."

"Atop the Baldwin Steps, this gracious home and its Victorian-Edwardian gardens were built in 1866 as a country estate for financier James Austin and his family.

"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."

"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."
