Higgins Beach, a popular spot among locals and a beloved destination for families in the Scarborough area, requires a bit of trip down the more scenic route to get to it. Even on nice weekends, the beach usually isn’t too crowded and care is taken to keep the soft sandy beach clean. A small stretch of beach that juts out into the water, creating an area that’s ideal for younger kids to splash around. Generally the surf at Higgins Beach is calm and visitors will often spot fishermen casting their lines or kayakers out paddling in the waters.
