What to do and see in East End, Canada: The Best Outdoor Activities

April 2, 2022 Toi Mattera

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Woodbine Park

Reviewed By GitchSup - Duluth, United States

We wanted a place to relax a little after spending a lot of the day in the city. Someone recommended Woodbine so we gave it a try. It was much larger than I expected and had a very nice vast beach area with places to play volleyball, a boardwalk to walk on, huge beach area and a really nice wooded area to walk through. There is even a Tim Hortons next to the parking lot in case you get hungry. We had a very enjoyable time just relaxing and strolling through the park and watching the scenery change as we went.

Kew-Balmy Beach

Reviewed By DavidD_from_WashDC - Washington DC, United States

This is a nice beach with a long boardwalk/bike/walking path. It has plenty of sand area, an adjacent beach house / town area, and picturesque views of the lake. Though I walked this during the winter, I can tell it would be a great summer spot. There are also some food places very close to the beach area for people who want to get a snack and bring it back to the blanket. And an ice cream place at one spot....awesome !
