Best Beach in Ajax

"If you love gorgeous cliff sides and feeling lost in a vast wilderness that is actually in a city center, then Bluffer’s Beach is for you!. Take a beautiful ride down the long, steep and windy road, then hop out of your vehicle and take a short stroll to a spanning beach that has clean sand and water. Blue Flag designation: Yes Facilities: parking lot, washrooms, lifeguardsAddress: 1 Brimley Rd., Scarborough (map it)"

"Located at the bottom of Brimley Road (one of the steepest hills in the city), the beach at Bluffer's Park is one of the nicest in the city. Bounded by the Scarborough Bluffs to the north, the park is both scenic and well-manicured (as far as Toronto beaches go). Arrive early on summer weekends if hoping for a parking spot."

"A post shared by Sakith Ranaweera (@sakithranaweera) on Jun 26, 2017 at 8:43am PDT. Bluffer’s Park, now called Scarboro Crescent Park, in Scarborough is definitely one of the more scenic spots to hang out in Toronto. Relax by the beach, hike up to one of the lookouts, or take the Bluffers Park Trail."

"Woodbine Beach is a 15.2-hectare park in the Beach neighbourhood with clean sand and grassy areas that is popular with beach volleyball players, health buffs working out on outdoor fitness equipment, and families strolling along the seemingly endless boardwalk. It is the entry point for 3 km of glorious beachfront that runs eastward towards the edge of Scarborough. It is adjacent to the Donald D. Summerville Outdoor Olympic Pool and has a wheelchair-accessible plastic boardwalk that allows access to the edge of the water."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Spend some time at the waterfront, enjoying the stunning views at Sunnyside Beach this summer. Whether you want to walk the boardwalk, go for a jog, play some volleyball, take a quick dip or even rent a kayak — Sunnyside has it all."

"Known best for its clothing optional area, Hanlan's Point also has a side for the less adventurous, even if it's generally far less populated than its nude-friendly neighbour. This is surely the most fun beach in Toronto, with some of the best sand around. People have flocked to Sunnyside to swim for well over a century."

"If you’re a GTA native or have been living in the area for a while, you probably know that Hanlan’s Point has a secret: there’s a nude section to this beach. But, if you don’t feel like bearing that post-quarantine body quite yet, there’s also a large expanse of beach that requires bathing suits."

"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."

"It is somehow is super relaxing and quiet while also being in the middle of a bustling waterfront. Sugar Beach has white sand and cute pink beach umbrellas with white wooden chairs that are very instagrammable. However, seating is limited so you might want to bring your own towel to lie on just in case!"

"A post shared by Nissa Mounichy (@nissavirginie) on Apr 24, 2019 at 3:45pm PDT. This sweet spot is known for its white Muskoka chairs, pink umbrellas, and amazing skyline views. Definitely worthy of an Instagram selfie this spring."

"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."

"Located on the southeastern shore of Toronto Island Park away from major park facilities and activity areas, this is one of the quietest beaches on the Island. Ward's Beach is sheltered a bit by the Leslie Split, so its calm water is ideal for swimming. There is usually enough wind here for kites and wind boards, though."

"Image Source Located on the southeastern corner of Toronto Island Park, this stunning beach is away from the crowded places and offers peace like no other!. Looking for some nice beaches near Toronto?. This is surely the one to pick when you wish to relax and unwind with your loved ones on a serene beach."

"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."

"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."

"Also located on Toronto Island, Centre Island Beach is commonly referred to as “Manitou Beach” after the Algonquin tribes that originally settled there. The beach has a rock wall that keeps larger waves out, while its relatively shallow waters can often bring warmer temperatures."

"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."

"Based on Bay Street, it’s a really easy spot to get to for those weekend brunches when you’ve had a long night enjoying the city."

"The best vegan bakery I have ever been too ( and I have been to many in the city!!) They have amazing soft serve, perfectly sweet and light!"

"This Markham restaurant does a grand buffet for $18.99 weekdays and $21.99 weekends, where you can dig into Indian vegetarian, meat, and rice dishes to your heart’s content."

"Evviva is a veg-friendly breakfast and lunch restaurant in Toronto and Vaughan. They have a massive vegan brunch menu where you can create your own vegan omelette, vegan breakfast sandwiches, waffles, French toast, and even a “vegan slam platter” with eggs, bacon, sausage and toast."

"Rain or shine you can find many Torontonians at SMITH for brunch on the weekends. With such a beautiful and eclectic atmosphere it truly does transport you to another world (France or Italy perhaps?) They feature simple ingredients and recipes made with soul and comfort, which makes it even more appealing to go there if you weren’t convinced by their decor!. https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlRFsqAf-Z/?"

"Smith takes up all three beautifully designed floors and the patio of a sweet townhouse in the Village. Come for a boozy brunch with a whole drinks menu dedicated for that special meal, or simply to relax and indulge in some staples. On top of it all: they take reservations for the weekend, so there’s no hour-long wait for eggs!"

"Smith is a gorgeous French restaurant that’s popular for their brunch, as well as their adorable patio. With brick walls and hanging lights, their patio is super cute and Instagram-worthy. They’re only open on weekends at the moment, so definitely reserve ahead of time if you want to get a table!"
