Cherry Beach, Public beach in Port Lands, Toronto, Canada.
Cherry Beach stretches along Lake Ontario with sandy shores where visitors swim, sunbathe, and enjoy water activities throughout the warm months. The site includes changing facilities, restrooms, and lifeguard stations positioned along the waterfront.
The area was originally called Clarke Beach Park until the 1930s, when it received its current name. Before that separation, a natural sandbar connected it to the Toronto Islands until 1852.
The beach serves as a gathering place for summer festivals and music events that draw local residents to the waterfront throughout the season. These occasions shape how people connect with the area and with each other.
The beach is easy to reach with ample parking available near the main entrance, making it accessible for day visitors. Shaded areas and picnic spots are spread throughout the grounds for guests seeking respite from the sun.
The western section has a dedicated area for kitesurfing enthusiasts who practice throughout the windy season. Visitors often stop to watch the athletes perform their aerial maneuvers across the water.
