If you want to walk along Lake Ontario, or just work on your tan, this is the best place to do it. The water is nice to look at, but, unfortunately, it s often too polluted for swimming. So if you don t see anyone in the water, then assume you shouldn t take a dip either. This is a great, laid-back and easygoing part of the city, much more like a lakeside resort than a city suburb.
Sandals are the preferred footwear.
Running parallel to the beach is Queen Street, where you ll find bead shops and Starbucks cafes and sarong vendors. There are often festivals here all summer long with free live music.
