    Wide sandy beach with long trail. It's a great spot to have fun with your family/friends; enjoying the beach, walking along the beach with a nice view of the cliffs. But, always be alert and keep your distance from the bluffs. Limited parking spot near the beach and if you arrive after 10-11am (even on weekdays during the summer) you have to park far from the beach. The parking is free on weekdays.

    I love this beach because it really gave me great memories. The first when I came here, it's just a coincidence because we ate too much for the dinner and needed a place to take a casual stroll. Instead of going to a park, someone suddenly said "hey, let's go to a beach". Just after around 15 min of driving, we arrived here. The sunset was amazing. A few days later, I came here for the second time. After enjoying the baking sun in downtown, I asked my best friend "hey do you want to go to a beach?" She said of course. So my family as well as hers went to the beach together. And we did have a great time on the beach. Even our grandmothers walked a few steps in the water. And my friend and I were running in the water, acting like a kid. Because the beach is probably not that busy as more famous ones, it even gives you more space to have fun without bothering others. Overall 4 stars because the parking area is so small. It takes around 20 min to find a spot if you come after 6pm.

    Just before noon, the police will often stop cars from driving down to the parks, but they will allow taxis and Uber's to drop people off.

    I can't imagine being at the meeting where they decided to pour some sand on a dock, add a few…read moremetal umbrellas and call it a beach, but here we are. In the oddball docks/ industrial area/ harbour front/ condo hell area next to Queens Quay East with traffic in plain sight, and cyclists whizzing by on the trail going to Cherry Beach. It's not somewhere I would think of going to hang out by the water, as there are quieter spots within a short walk that seem nicer, but I was with my cherished 5AM Club group and it was right near summer solstice in June with the longest days and all, we were in touch with the universe, yada yada so we trudged along the water's edge heading east from our yoga spot under the trees at Harbour Square Park East. So there we were at Sugar Beach yo. There was one crazy dude screaming at the lake from the dock, so okay, he seems harmless... Then, after doing our karma 5AM stuff, and it was 45 minutes after that when we stumbled upon a small party group at Sugar Beach. They were still up from a Monday night of shenanigans so they figured why not start a small fire for roasting marshmallows, which would pair well with their beer and spliffs. We decided to join them for a roasted marshmallow and snapped a couple pics. Was a lot of fun and who says Toronto isn't a friendly place to hang out? Ya gotta be creative with your destinations, that's all.

    Sugar Beach is a beautiful man-made beach tucked into downtown Toronto. It's such a unique spot in…read morethe middle of the city -- the umbrellas, white sand, and waterfront views make it a perfect place to relax and recharge.

    I grew up in the Beaches. I already have an issue with the name of this listing well before I begin…read moremy review. The Beaches is what I'll always call my old neighbourhood. I grew up here until I graduated from high school and moved to Markham for my first stint of two. I have always known the Beaches to have more than one beach. This listing narrows it down to the area between Silver Birch and Lee Avenues. In this span, there are two beaches: Kew and Balmy. You still see these references scattered around the area. I went to Kew Beach Junior Public School. I walked past Balmy Beach Community School that was close to my high school. Balmy Beach Canoe Club has been there for at least a century. The name change to the Beach is still controversial. Sure, hyphenate Kew and Balmy, and you get a single beach. Um, no. For those who decided to focus on this ridiculous nonsense, how about focusing on something far more meaningful in the Beaches, like trying to solve the high volume of car accidents at Woodbine and Queen? How about dealing with the empty stores, including Ends, that used to be Tony's Variety, which still stands vacant after nearly two decades? I'm done letting off some steam. Now, back to business. I grew up a five-minute walk from the boardwalk and Lake Ontario. I grew up playing with the sand with my littlenpail and shovel set. I have walked countless times along the boardwalk. I did so to see the Victoria Day fireworks from the foot of Leuty Avenue (best view). I still remember walking with my friends as teenagers one summer and annoying people by blasting Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up" from my dinky Radio Shack pocket radio. I was recently back in my old neighbourhood. I took a chance to see if I could find a parking spot at around 4 pm on a warm Saturday. I ended up parking on Silver Birch Avenue. It's east of where I lived, but I wanted a change of pace. IYou can get away with street parking during the day. It does get busy, though. At night, you do need a parking permit to avoid a fine. I grew up seeing my dad renew and stick a new parking permit on his windshield. I also was forced to parallel-park the family car, which has served me well as an adult. Coming down to admire the sand, water, and boardwalk feels like home. There was a bench with a dedication plaque that I sat on, taking in the sun and breeze. I was sucking back a shake, and watching people cycle, walk, and jog along the path parallel to the boardwalk. Over the years, the boardwalk has gone through some restorative improvements. The wooden boards are in much better shape with no sign of rotting or feeling like you're about to fall through the cracks. Yay! It's a well-established neighbourhood. You get to enjoy the tall trees that have been there for decades and admiring how beautiful the surroundings are. It does look nicer these days. There are more receptacles for garbage and recycling. The Leuty Lifesaving Station, affectionately known as the Leuty, still endures. The water fountains have been upgraded. It's a cheerful, inviting place to hang out. It was nice soaking up everything while I was there. I managed to see an ice cream truck. The cheesy music signalling its arrival still reminds me of growing up here and wanting a treat. Some things never change. I should visit more often. I am glad that I did a couple of Saturdays ago. (179)
