Review & FAQ:
Gibraltar Point Beach is Toronto's hidden gem snuggled between Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point. Facing out on Lake Ontario, this stretch of fine sand seems miles away from the city. The sandy beach is all that is left of the Gibraltar Beach Sand Dunes, which once lined the entire south shore of the island. The area is still classified as an Environmentally Significant Area as it provides home to some rare plant species. The beach can be accessed by taking the Centre Island Ferry. Once you arrive, follow signs to Centre Beach and head west. Smaller Hanlan's Point Ferry will also take you there, allowing you to avoid the throngs of tourists. On the way to the beach, stop by Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, which is said to be haunted. Gibraltar is a Blue Flag beach.
