Hanlan's Point Beach is a long public beach located on Hanlan's Point in the Toronto Islands on the shore of Lake Ontario. Hanlan's Point Beach is famous for being one of the two official nude beaches in Canada. It is also known as a beach for people looking for a fun, party beach atmosphere not far from downtown Toronto. The beach can be accessed by taking the ferry or a water taxi to Hanlan's Point drop off. From there you can walk or bike. The south end of the beach is clothing optional. The north side, towards the airport, is a regular beach where clothing is required. The beach is also known for great water quality, wonderful sunsets, spectacular views of the city, shallow water, and a nice snack bar near the beach. Hanlan’s beach dunes create a secluded atmosphere and keep the beach safe from erosion, which is the big problem in the area. Do your part and stay on the path and do not walk through the bushes.
