| How To Get To Sugar Beach Toronto |
Public Transportation: Your Eco-Friendly Chariot to Paradise
Subway: Dive into the depths of the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) and hop on the Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway line. Get off at the Union Station stop and escape the underground like a triumphant mole. From there, it's a short walk (around 15 minutes) to the beach. Don't worry, you'll be shedding those subway layers in no time!
Bus: Feeling fancy? Take a double-decker bus for a quintessential Toronto experience. Routes 65, 114, 202, and a few others will get you close. Just ask the friendly bus driver for directions to Sugar Beach, and they'll point you in the right direction (hopefully not overboard!).
Pro Tip: Download the TTC app or use Google Maps to plan your trip in advance. This way, you can avoid any unnecessary hangry meltdowns while navigating the city.

- In a rush to soak up some rays? Taxis and ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft can whisk you away to Sugar Beach in a jiffy. This might be the most expensive option, but hey, sometimes a beach day is worth the splurge (especially if you forgot the sunscreen!).
Remember: On sunny days, traffic can get a little crazy around the waterfront. Factor that in when deciding on your beach chariot.
