There are the usual beaches that tend to go hand in hand with Ontario (you know the ones, Hanlan's Point, Wasaga, Saugeen/Sauble, Grand Bend, Sauble, Tobermory). Because it tends to be less busy, we'll throw in highly accessible parking and beach access as a bonus. Sun setting over Lake Huron near Red Bay Beach. Bonus local beachNow, if you have no plans to leave the city, or perhaps don't have a vehicle to get out of Toronto, you do have options, including Sugar Beach, Cherry Beach, Kew-Balmy Beach and more. But a little secret beach (well, perhaps not-so-secret anymore) is South Shell Park Beach in Oakville, a waterfront gem with a peaceful shoreline, shell-covered sandy cove and beautiful views of Lake Ontario.
