The Beach
Also known as the Beaches, this charming east-end neighbourhood evokes more of a small-time vibe with its boutique shops and cute cafes on Queen Street East. Head a bit further south and you’ll hit the picturesque beachfront of Lake Ontario. There’s a 3-kilometre boardwalk, perfect for a stroll, bike paths, beach volleyball courts and picnic areas too. From shots of the glistening lake at sunset to an ice cream cone from Ed’s Real Scoop, it’s definitely a photo-friendly destination. —Stephanie Gray
