Description
From Kingston Road right down to the water, the Beach is a Toronto oasis where the boardwalk stretches along the lake to create a calm, outdoor atmosphere unlike that of any other part of the city. This personal take on the neighborhood’s charms points to the streets and shops?busy with pedestrians, dogs, and strollers?and the fabulous summer scene, featuring picnickers, sunbathers, and outdoor sports enthusiasts from all over the world. Rounding out this delightful guidebook are lighthearted historical asides and photographs from the last four decades.
