Here, in no particular order, are my picks for the top beaches near Toronto.
Lakefront Park (Oshawa)
Head to a more eastern Lake Ontario beach to escape the crowds of Hanlan's Point and Woodbine. Lakefront Park offers an expansive stretch of sand and water with parks and tons of sports facilities around. You can lie in the sun or play beach volleyball or throw the ball around at the baseball diamonds.
Bronte Beach Park in Oakville
If you are down to do a full day trip, Bronte Beach Park is never a let down. In close proximity to Bronte Village, you'll be able to spend you're day doing much more than just laying out in the sun (which is probably good for your skin). There's a bevy of shops and restaurants in the area as well as a large playground to keep you busy.
Kelso Conservation Area
Kelso Conservation area is unique in that it transforms with the seasons. In the winter months it is home to fifteen ski slopes but as soon as the snow thaws, you'll find a picturesque beach worthy of the drive to Milton.
Kinsmen Beach (Port Perry)
Port Perry is the perfect place to get away from it all. Relax on the sands of Kinsmen Beach or head to a grassy patch near the water for a picnic or impromptu frisbee tournament. As much fun as beers in Bellwoods are, they'd probably be a lot better here.
Innisfil Beach Park
Innisfil Beach Park is the jack of all trades, as far as beaches are concerned. It boasts three soccer fields, two baseball diamonds, playgrounds, a public boat launch, as well as a long stretch of shoreline where you can relax on the sands or take a dip in Lake Simcoe.
