Make sure you go down to the boardwalk (sand and water, you know!) at Queen and Woodbine during the day - The Beaches is a very nice area just a streetcar ride away from downtown (approximaetly 15 min of travel time). During the weekend people play volleyball, kite-board, windsurf, suntan and just walk along the boardwalk. Walk down from Queen Street and/or along Queen St as well to shop and eat.

There is also Woodbine beach and a few other beaches along the Lakeshore as well for those people looking to escape the City and lay back and relax. Or you can take a drive down Cherry Street to The Docks. The Docks is always a lot of fun, they… All around Toronto and area |

Sunday we ventured even further east to a neighbourhood called 'The Beaches' where surprisingly enough there were some...beaches! It was so strange to be in the city one minute then in a holiday resort the next - it was really hot, but we didn't fancy chancing a dip in the lake - we heard more than… Week 3 |
