Sandy beach on the eastern shore of Toronto Island, facing Lake Ontario.  Very peaceful and rustic.  Good family beach.  Lifeguarded daily from 11:30 to 18:30 with first aid equipment on site.  Bordered by trees and natural grasses.  Take the Ward's Island ferry from Mainland Ferry Terminal and follow the signs to the beach.  It is a short walk across a playing field past the Island Cafe.  www.torontobeach.ca
