Ward's Island, Toronto, ON M5J 2C6, Canada
A 15-minute passenger ferry ride across Toronto Harbour brings you to the car-free Toronto Islands. Ward's Island beach features soft sand, calm Lake Ontario waters, and views stretching out over the freshwater horizon, framed by 1920s cottage boardwalks and wildflowers.
Tip: Rent a bicycle or bring your own on the ferry; stop by the Island Cafe for iced lavender lemonade and fresh salads right by the ferry docks.
