Just in time for summer! These 8 Toronto beaches are certified clean

With summer around the corner, we’re in the mood to go to the beach. Lucky for us, here in Toronto we’ve got plenty of options. In fact, 8 of the city’s finest beaches just scored top marks when it comes to cleanliness. They are officially Blue Flag Canada certified, which means you can rest assured knowing these spots are in tip-top shape.

Before we unveil which beaches made the cut, let us tell you a little more about the Blue Flag Canada certification. This nifty recognition means a few things for the beaches that received it. It means they meet a certain standard when it comes to water quality and environmental friendliness. It also means you’ll find clean washrooms, trash disposal reciprocals, carefully monitored wildlife habitats, and more. Nature thrives at these awesome spots!
