  • A Day at the Beach
    Morning

    Begin at Sunset Grill, 2006 Queen St E, for breakfast. (The waffles are a local favorite.) Fortified, cross the street and meander toward the lake through Kew Gardens, noting the unusual circular path and rounded windows of Kew Williams Cottage, built in 1902, at the park’s south end. If you prefer cycling to walking, first check out Beach Cycles (1882 Queen St E) for equipment rental.

    Reaching the boardwalk, turn right and follow it to the end, a 15-minute stroll. Look out for the paved path on the right; take it into Ashbridges Bay Park, where you can stroll along the waterfront, watching sailboats moor. The city view from the west side of the park is excellent.

    For lunch, retrace your steps to Kew Gardens, then up to Queen St, for a famously good burger at Lick’s (No. 1960).

    Afternoon

    Spend the afternoon browsing the shops on Queen St, picking up at treat at The Nutty Chocolatier, No. 2179, to enjoy while taking a break at the serene sunken rock garden – Ivan Forest Gardens – at Queen St E and Glen Manor Dr.

    Shopped out, snag a seat on Quigley’s patio (No. 2232) and relax with a refreshment. If you’re up for more walking, continue another 10 minutes east to the (see Greater Toronto) to stroll the grounds of this Art Deco gem and admire the view of the Scarborough Bluffs (see Bluffer’s Park) and Lake Ontario.
