With the shores of Lake Ontario to the south, The Beaches plays host to a number of cafés, boutique shops, ice cream parlors, pressed juice bars, restaurants, bars, and bakeries that line the streets as well as a series of events that take place during the warmer months. Read on to discover how this beach neighborhood will have you saying ‘neighborhood envy’ in no time.
