Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach is located in the community of Ajax just off the shore of Lake Ontario. This beach was an important cottage destination for upper-class Torontonians in the 1920s. Some famous figures that lived in the community are T. P. Loblaw and artist Florence Helena McGillivray. Today the beach is a great place for swimming and fishing. There are volleyball courts, picnic areas, and a beautiful lakeside boardwalk for biking, running, and walking. Bird watching in the area is reputed to be fantastic, as are the neighbourhood restaurants.
