You can also take a ferry or water taxi over to Toronto Centre Island and enjoy various activities on the islands. There are several beaches, a 14 km loop trail and a 1.5 km boardwalk. Being car free, you can walk or bike through the islands, visit the 200 year old lighthouse, Centreville Amusement Park, or have a coffee or beer at a restaurant.
The Toronto underground subway system travels north/south along Yonge St and also University Avenue, and east/west along Bloor St. for easy travel to various parts of the city. Street cars are also easily accessible for getting around as well as “The Path”, a part underground and part above ground walkway that keeps you indoors and accesses a large area.
