What is the biggest beach in Toronto?

Lake Ontario's Woodbine Beach is the largest of the four beaches in the Beaches in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Located along Lake Shore Boulevard at the foot of Woodbine Avenue, it is next to Ashbridge's Bay and Kew-Balmy Beach.



Woodbine Beach is widely recognized as the largest and most popular of the four beaches that line Toronto's eastern waterfront along Lake Ontario. Spanning approximately 15.2 hectares, it serves as the gateway to a three-kilometer stretch of sandy shoreline in the "Beaches" neighborhood. It is a massive hub for outdoor recreation, featuring over 100 beach volleyball courts, a wide boardwalk for strolling, and the Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools nearby. During the summer months, it becomes the city's primary destination for sunbathing and swimming, equipped with full-service amenities including a recently renovated bathing station, outdoor fitness equipment, and several picnic shelters. Its sheer size and the variety of facilities—from playgrounds to bike trails like the Martin Goodman Trail—make it a central landmark for both residents and tourists seeking a coastal atmosphere within the urban environment of Toronto.
