What you'll find along the boardwalk

The Beaches Boardwalk runs roughly 3 km along Lake Ontario from Ashbridges Bay in the west to the bluffs at the east end, passing Woodbine Beach, Kew Beach, Scarborough Beach, and Balmy Beach. There are five washroom buildings spaced along the way: at Ashbridges Bay (near the parking lot), at the Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pool, at Kew Gardens (the biggest, with the most stalls), at the lifeguard station mid-boardwalk, and at Balmy Beach Club's adjacent public facility. All are free, all are accessible, all are seasonal — generally open from the Victoria Day long weekend in May through Thanksgiving in October.

Which one to head for

Coming from Woodbine subway and walking south? The Donald Summerville pool building is the first washroom you'll hit — clean, accessible, and large. Cycling the Martin Goodman Trail? Plan around Kew Gardens, which is the central washroom and has the most stalls plus a baby change. Bringing kids to the splash pad or playground at Kew Gardens? You're already there. Walking the eastern end (Balmy Beach)? The Balmy Beach washroom is small and gets crowded on weekends; if it's busy, walk five minutes west to the lifeguard station building.

Off-season and overnight

From November through April, every boardwalk washroom is locked. Your year-round options shift to Queen Street East: Beaches Library has a public washroom during library hours, every café along the Queen East strip (Remarkable Bean, Lazy Daisy, Whitlock's) has a customer washroom, and Beaches Recreation Centre on Williamson Road is open during community programming hours. The closest TTC washrooms are at Main Station and Victoria Park — both during service hours.

Accessibility and family notes

The boardwalk itself is fully accessible — the wooden boards are smooth and continuous, with paved paths at every entry point. The Donald Summerville and Kew Gardens washrooms have full accessible stalls and baby change tables. The smaller mid-boardwalk and Balmy Beach buildings have an accessible stall but can be tight to manoeuvre in. Kew Gardens is the safest bet for strollers, mobility aids, and anyone who needs a bit more space.
