Hanlan’s Point ferry provides access to the westernmost island, known for its recreational facilities and natural beauty.

Toronto Island beaches offer four distinct swimming areas along the islands’ southern shores. Centre Island Beach (Manitou Beach) provides lifeguarded swimming during summer months and is easily accessible from the ferry dock.
