HarbourFront and The Islands

Along the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario, the Toronto waterfront is one of the most beautiful in the world. Thanks to the city's ambitious plans for the waterfront, it is quickly becoming one of the world's most well developed, as well. The HarbourFront Centre is one of the prime cultural locations in the city. The center hosts dozens of huge cultural events each year, including theater productions and art galleries. Beyond the center, there are many other places of interest to visit, including the Redpath Sugar Museum.

The waterfront is also a shopper's haven: Its boardwalk is lined with dozens of retail stores and novelty/craft shops. The waterfront also provides a ferry service to the Toronto Islands, the largest network of parks near the city. These islands face outward toward Toronto, and provide the most breathtaking views of the city's skyline. Each of the archipelago's eight islands has its own attractions and highlights, ranging from amusement parks to the famous clothing-optional beach at Hanlan's Point.
