The Beaches

About The Beaches

The Beaches stretches along Lake Ontario's shoreline east of downtown, centred on a wooden boardwalk that runs from Woodbine Beach past Kew Gardens toward the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant. Early-20th-century cottages, many since expanded into full-time family homes, line the quiet streets running up from the water, giving the area a village feel distinct from the rest of the city.

Queen Street East's independent shops and cafés, the annual Beaches International Jazz Festival, and the long sandy park along the water have made the neighbourhood a consistent draw for families who want lake access without leaving the city. The 501 Queen streetcar connects the area to downtown, though the ride is among the longer streetcar commutes in Toronto.
