I'm always surprised by how many locals have never made the short trip over to the Island. Well if you haven't been, you really should go. It is absolutely lovely. Like being at the cottage with a view of the city.
Plus, you get to take a short ferry which is always fun.
Bikes are the absolute best way to explore the island. If you don't have a bike you can rent a Bixi Bike from the outside the ferry terminal.
This young fellow really wanted to try out our bikes.
While this guy was happy just to hang out.
Besides the amusement parks and splash pads for the kiddies, the sand beaches and trails, lush grass and spectacular view of the city. The BEST part of Toronto Island are all the fabulous cottages. They are all unique and so lovely to look at.
Here is a small sampling.
