Went to Rouge hill beach via GO train toward Lakeshore East.
On July 1st, which is a holiday in Canada, I went to a beach at Rouge Hill Go station. It was such a quite place to view nature and to swim. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to post here.
Getting There
I took GO train from Ajax on Lakeshore East line, so it was quick and easy. (If you live downtown, go to Union to take the line east.) There was train every 30 min, which is very convenient. It was 10 min ride for me because Ajax is close to Rouge Hill, Scarborough. If you get there, you have to walk about 15 min to see the beach. Walk on bike road continuously and you’ll see after awhile.
Ship Deck
Before reaching the beaches, there are bunch of decks which is connected to the bike lane, where ship boards and lands. It is a bit rocky but it is a great photo spot to go to. I took videos there to do still cut later on because it is a bit rocky way, for safety, you know. I edited things after on because it is a bit messy to take pictures at a beach I suggest wearing sneakers because I wore slippers around and I almost fell because of moss on the rock. A little bit dangerous, because it is rocky. So just bring slippers while wearing the sneakers.
Beach Walk
Isn’t it beautiful? How blue the ocean is. It was very amazing and pleasant moment. Personally, I prefer the water over the mountains, so it is my new favorite. I could not believe there is a place near me that is so beautiful. I will visit regularly whenever I want to see the beach.
Swimming
You can also do snow-cooling, since the water is very clean. It is not very deep because it is a lake, but it feels like beach because of sand and wave.
I wore a swimming suit inside so I can take off. There were no washroom open at that time, so be noted for that.
Jumping rocks
Just, along the coast line, there are rocks you can walk or jump on. If the water is not deep enough for swimming for you, I would go here.
Bring food with you because there is pretty much noting like commercial buildings around the beach. I did like it due to the fact there are not much crowd. Bring everything with you will prevent surprises.
Sunset
You should see the sunset and go in the afternoon. I went there at noon so could not see the subset but, I could imagine seeing an orange sunset at where I took picture at.
Summary
If you would like a quite space not far way, to get away to think and meditate, I would suggest this place. It is not far away from downtown Toronto. It is a different view of the lake, other than just looking at water. You can touch and feel the water here. If interested in going to the lake, I would go Rouge Hill. There were even people fishing so you should check that out too. Thank you.
