This is a wonderful hidden gem and very nice location to relax. Clean and well maintained
me and my parents very much enjoyed Hanlon's beach we got naked and sunbath and i was building sandcastles in the sand, everyone was so friendly and we will go again. , not too many familys however,
Fantastic! Bare as you dare, enjoy a mini vacation.
The place is still a lovely, quiet and relaxing place to visit. It's always a mini vacation especially in the summer.
Google Maps has asked me to update this place again. It is the same amazing place, in fact, the clothing optional part has been extended. It is a great place to relax, read a book. Soak in the sun, take in all that vitamin D. The people who are there are very respectful and yet friendly. There's a volley ball net up available to everyone.
Life guard are there sometimes (although the water really isn't that deep. It is a must visit for a quite day alone for meditation, or simply chill with your friends.
Once again Google Maps has asked me to update this place. It's is still an absolutely amazing beach, to chill and/or hangout with a group of friends. This year though the water levels are a bit higher than last year. This is resulting in a little less beach. Erosion seems to have played a roll in there as well. However there is still plenty of beach to enjoy. The water was crystal clear. The volleyball ball net is still up. The area where the volleyball net is, seemed to have flattened off. Resulting in people playing soccer ⚽️, beach ball, Frisbee and catch (without disturbing the other beach goers).

Hanlan’s Point Beach was absolutely incredible! The beach was very clean, well-maintained, and had a relaxing atmosphere. The ferry service was also excellent, with accurate timing and smooth transportation to and from the island.
One thing I really liked was that bike rentals are available throughout the island, making it easy and fun to explore the area. The views of Toronto’s skyline are beautiful, and the whole experience feels like a quick escape from the city.
The only downside is that the cafés on the island are quite expensive, so it might be a good idea to bring your own snacks and drinks. Overall, a fantastic place to spend a summer day, and I highly recommend visiting!
