Every year now (3 or 4 years in a row now?) we have gone to Toronto Island with the same friends, who graciously guide us there, and provide extra care. Without them I wouldn't dare venture into the city in unfamiliar territory. The kids look forward to it immensely-not just for the beach and ferry ride, but also for the great company!
Lovely sandy beaches! We had to move a beach over 'cause the one we started on had high e-coli levels. A 10 minute walk to the nearest public washroom!
There was no breakwater here, so it felt like the ocean with the waves crashing in!
Evelyn didn't care where we were. Nap time was still a priority!
Every time the kids went into the water for a swim, the life guard went into his rowboat and paddled close by. (It wasn't just for us though-he did it for the other group that went swimming. ;)
Cool and clean! So nice and refreshing.
Nap time at the beach-only Evelyn slept, but Jennifer got a few minutes refresher. She was more cheerful for having done it.
What an enormous lake! It is absolutely amazing to me, thinking that Lake Ontario is tiny compared to the ocean. Amazing!
Cuddle time!
Fun in the sand! The only tool we brought was an ice cream pail I'd taken watermelon in. But it worked.
On the walk back to the ferry Jennifer fell asleep, almost buried in all our bags!
We went a second time this year, with family. But I forgot my camera. :o

Looks like the kids had a great time and it sounds like you did too. It sounds like a nice spot and it doesn't look at all crowded!!
