Beach Lime: Scarborough Bluffs
The Scarborough Bluffs are a sand and clay escarpment that runs for 15km along Lake Ontario. At its highest point, the land rises 65m above sea level. Wind and waves continue to erode the bluffs and deposit sand on the southern shore of the Toronto Islands. Bluffer’s beach sits in the shadow of the magnificent sandstone Cathedral Bluff.
Bring a picnic (or order from the restaurant on site). Swim, run, play volleyball, fish, hike, bird watch or sit under an under an umbrella with a cool drink.
Life: unscripted.
