Sun Tan by the Scarborough Bluffs

Toronto, Ontario

Description

A family-friendly park and stroll along the water, featuring a sandy beach and towering bluffs. All in the city's backyard.

The Scarborough Bluffs are a fascinating sight just a short drive from Toronto. Easily accessible and perfect for sunny days.

Park in the Bluffers Park public parking area, and make sure to buy a parking ticket or you will get fined in the summer months. Then it's an easy walk along the path to the bluffs. The bluffs are also accessible from the upper park called "Scarborough Bluffs Park" to get some great views across Lake Ontario.

This spot gets busy on hot summer days, but is always worth it!
