Whimbrel Point

it is very beautiful here.

Pretty impressive sign post and views of the city. For the most part it's a peaceful park but it's too bad some dog owners wreck it by allowing their pets off leash. Easy walking and great in the summer.

Wonderful scenic views of the city, tucked in a park with lots wildlife, especially birds. Saw several cardinals and swans. Excellent smooth gravel path for those who want something accessible - works for strollers and I saw some skateboarders even. There are also trails off the path to get closer to the water/ rocks, which is nice when it is busier on the path.

It is one of the most soothing place I have ever visited. This gem of a place is just next to my campus, Humber Lakeshore and I visit this place regularly! Water on 3 sides, ships sailing, frequent kayaks and the Toronto Skyline view makes the perfect combination for a perfect gateway!

Great place for photography sunrise or sunset

A must must must visit spot to experience the sunrise. Mesmerizing view of sun popping out of water (lake Ontario)Come prepared with fully charged batteries and an empty memory card. Multiple cameras recommended as you cannot spot the exact location of sun rise when you arrive in dark.Spectacular skyline of Toronto. A zoom lense is good to have.

The perfect spot for a picnic. Nice scenic view with the skyline of Toronto. Try go early morning or on sunset with your friends and family.But too many mosquitoes around so carry a bug spray.

Gorgeous place to take in the views. Based on the photos, early morning is best. I bet at sunset would be great. Start your day off here with a coffee and a walk.

Great place to birdwatch. There is a bench at yhis point but often occupied. Great view of the Toronto city skyline. Bring bug spray, though, because there were lots of mosquitoes.
