Location
The Beach (also known as "The Beaches") is located between Coxwell Avenue and Victoria Park Avenue, and extends from the lakeshore to Danforth Avenue.
Character (Reprinted from Wikipedia)
The commercial district of Queen Street East lies at the heart of The Beach community. It is characterized by a large number of independent specialty stores. The side streets are mostly lined with semis and large-scale Victorian, Edwardian and new-style houses. There are also low-rise apartment buildings and a few row houses. The beach itself is a single uninterrupted stretch of sandy shoreline with a long boardwalk which runs along most of its length. Although it is continuous, there are four names which correspond each to approximately one quarter of the length of the beach (from east to west): Balmy Beach, Scarboro Beach, Kew Beach and Woodbine Beach.
