| - To begin, more reviews of this are available under a different name of Ashbridge's Bay Park. The park and the beach are one and the same, just differentiated at times.
To get here, the quickest way from downtown is to take the Subway's green line east until Woodbine, and take a Woodbine bus south. The buses are pretty frequent and take only about 12-14 minutes from the station. An alternative way is to take the Queen Street car eastbound until Coxwell, and walk south about 10 minutes.
I like the beach because I love beach volleyball. It gets me going to see so many people exercising and taking care of themselves. I think Woodbine beach is a treasure that is underrated. People fly to Miami's South Beach to get something similar, but in Miami the salt water makes your mouth taste like salt all day. I realize South Beach has a night club scene that Beaches East doesn't, but this beach is right here to use.
Food and drinks is very expensive, about 3.50 for a small Gatorade and 4.00 for a bottle of Diet Pepsi from the hot dog vendors on the boardwalk.
Enjoy, you can't go wrong going here for a suntan, picnic, or a nice long walk/run.
