Toronto Travel: Toronto - The Beach - Walking to Lake Ontario

These video clips were taken during a visit to Toronto's Beach neighbourhood on July 9, 2007. The Beach is one of Toronto's coolest neighbourhoods, it features a 4 km long Boardwalk, a huge sandy beach with hundreds of beach volleyball nets, tennis, rollerhockey and lawn bowling facilities and a paved recreational trail for bikers and rollerbladers. On the weekends thousands of people descend to this neighbourhood for open-air barbecues, walks and people watching. The restaurants and quirky shops of Queen Street just up from the waterfront provide great entertainment opportunities. I love to hang out in this neighbourhood of Victorian and Edwardian homes that are sheltered from the summer heat by a canopy of tall trees. It's just simply a serene place.

The clips from outing are part of my "Toronto Favourites" series and many more of these discoveries are to come. I am actually a travel writer, and whenever I am not out of town, I write about the city that I live in: Toronto, a city that has many cool places. I love to get out and explore the city and discover some new cool spots, and now you can enjoy them with me.
