A short ferry ride away on the Toronto Islands you'll find Hanlan's Point. On the shores of Lake Ontario, it's a nudist beach so feel free to let it all hang out. Photography is forbidden for obvious reasons. Although Hanlan's Point isn't a gay beach as such, it is very gay-friendly and it attracts a gay crowd.

On a warm day you'll find plenty of people here. It's one of the most famous clothing-optional beaches in all of North America and known as being the best gay beach in Canada. To get there take the Hanlan's Point ferry from Toronto's Queen's Quay and follow signs to the beach upon arrival.

Don't forget to bring your own food and drink for the day as there is very little around, though the rest of the island does have some kiosks and shops.
