Three great beaches just outside of Toronto!

When the city starts heating up, it’s time to hit some of the beautiful beaches in the Toronto area! While the beaches on the Toronto Islands are beautiful, they’re also crowded. Here are some of our favourite spots just outside of Toronto that let you get out and make for a relatively stress-free day in the sun!
 

BLUFFER’S BEACH

A long, sandy beach with incredible swimming at the foot of Scarborough Bluffs, you can also go hiking and biking, along the numerous paths! Work up a sweat and then jump in the water to make the most of the summer. Even better, it’s less than an hour’s drive from downtown Toronto, so you can get out of town and beat the crowds!
 

ROUGE BEACH

If you’re looking for beautiful white sand, look no further than the confusingly-named Rouge Beach. Home to more than half of the Greater Toronto Area’s wetlands, this is a favourite spot for fishermen and women, but it’s also great for lounging in the sun and some light swimming
 

MARIE CURTIS PARK BEACH

A quiet residential beach in Etobicoke, this family-friendly beach has an off-leash dog park and a playground making for a stress-free trip to the beach! Make sure to pack some sunscreen, a sun umbrella, and a delicious picnic so you can spend the whole day lounging while the kids play!
