My favourite place to take a deep breath

I absolutely love the Toronto Islands. If you've never been you definitely have to check it out especially in the summer. Take the ferry across to any of the three ports: Hanlans Point, Centre Island or Wards Island. Personally I prefer hanlan's or wards as they're both at the ends of the island and it gives you an opportunity to explore from one end to the other. Would recommend bringing a picnic lunch and sitting in the park or if you don't feel like bringing one checking out one of the nice patios you can find on the island. There's a variety of activities you can do including renting kayaks or going for a nice walk or bring your rollerblades and do a blade. They're also bicycles that you can rent which are good for up to 4 people which are quite popular.
