Whitby's shoreline runs from Iroquois Beach Park, across from Port Whitby Harbour, east to the beach at Kiwanis Heydenshore Park, with the Waterfront Trail linking them along the lake. You get long sandy stretches, marina masts, a breakwater and an open lake horizon, and you get them without the crowd that comes with Toronto's own waterfront. It's the quiet version of a big-water session.
Yorkville
Location Highlights
- Victorian row houses turned designer storefronts
- The 650-tonne Canadian Shield rock in Yorkville Park
- Native-plant garden zones along Cumberland Street
- The Mink Mile along Bloor Street West
- Quiet laneways and ivy-covered brick
- Café patios and a polished, moneyed backdrop
Plus more - view details for the full rundown.
Yorkville packs a full editorial session into a few walkable blocks. The Victorian row houses along Cumberland and Hazelton became boutiques without losing their brick and ironwork, Bloor Street West runs the length of the Mink Mile, and the Village of Yorkville Park drops a 650-tonne slab of Canadian Shield granite into the middle of the neighbourhood alongside garden beds planted as native Canadian plant communities. The result is polished and moneyed, with enough texture and quiet laneways that it never reads as only shopfronts.
Port Perry Boardwalk
Location Highlights
- Boardwalk and Palmer Park directly on Lake Scugog
- Roughly 5 km of waterfront trail along the lakefront
- Historic Queen Street storefronts a minute from the water
- Open water and big sky at sunset
- Antique shops and the Town Hall Theatre as streetscape
- A genuinely quiet alternative to the city waterfront
Plus more - view details for the full rundown.
Port Perry's waterfront sits on Lake Scugog, with Palmer Park and the boardwalk at the foot of a nineteenth-century main street that never got torn down. Five kilometres of waterfront trail run the lakefront, and Queen Street's storefronts, antique shops and Town Hall Theatre are a minute's walk up from the water. Open-water light and small-town character in the same session, which is a combination the city can't offer.
