Woodbine Beach is one of Toronto’s most popular and accessible urban beaches, located on the eastern shoreline of Lake Ontario in the Beaches neighbourhood. As the largest of the city’s four designated swimming beaches, it offers a wide stretch of soft sand, stunning lake views, and a lively, family-friendly atmosphere—perfect for both relaxation and recreation just minutes from downtown.

The beach features fine golden sand and calm, swimmable waters monitored by lifeguards during the summer season. Designated as a Blue Flag beach, it meets high standards for water quality and safety. Popular activities include swimming, beach volleyball (with dozens of courts available), paddleboarding, and kayaking. There's also a boardwalk and cycling path that runs alongside the beach, connecting to nearby Ashbridges Bay and other waterfront parks.

Accessibility is excellent, with public transport, bike paths, and parking all nearby. The beach is equipped with washrooms, showers, change rooms, shaded picnic areas, and food vendors during the summer. It’s open year-round, with dogs restricted from the main beach during peak season but allowed in nearby off-leash areas. Woodbine Beach offers a vibrant and inclusive lakeside experience, ideal for everything from quiet sunbathing to active outdoor fun.
