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. Gibraltar Point Beach sits between Centre and Hanlan’s Point, while Ward’s Island Beach offers a quieter alternative on the eastern shore.
