The Toronto waterfront has been improving steadily as the city invests more into beautifying and preserving the land around Lake Ontario. If you are a hiker or a cyclist, you may have already explored parts of the waterfront; but there are also some unique ways to relax and meet people that we’ve come up with! Read on for our suggestions for enjoying the waterfront this summer.

Visit Toronto Islands

An oasis just a short ferry ride away from downtown, the Toronto Islands can get you thinking you’re in cottage country but without the long drive! Enjoy beautiful beaches with a view of the city along with great trails for walking and biking. The ferry accommodates cyclists so it’s a breeze to bring your bike. We recommend checking out Island Cafe’s cute patio for drinks and nachos, or hitting the frisbee golf course to sharpen up your frisbee throwing! Check out the Toronto Islands website for ferry schedules and you’ll be enjoying Toronto’s waterfront in no time!
