I love the Beaches because it feels like I'm out of the city. The vibe is really laid back, colourful and the cool breeze from the lake is really refreshing (perfect atmosphere to beat the heat wave!). Not to mention it's as expensive as you make it ( I made it with $10 - I had a metro pass), so it really is the perfect mid-week trip. Take the subway to Queen Station, ride the streetcar to Woodbine and you're there. Pretend its not Wednesday and you're good to go.
