Geocache Description:

The Hanlan's Point Beach, on the Toronto Islands is a great place for kite flying.

Look for a large, black plastic ABS pipe with a screw top. (Please re-tighten well to seal the o-ring. If the lid is too tight an adjustable wrench may be needed to open it.)

There is a kite you can borrow for a test flight if you don't have one of your own.

The Toronto Island Ferry operates frequent Toronto Ferry service from the Mainland Ferry Terminal to the landing at Hanlan's Point, Centre Island & Ward's Island ferry docks on the Toronto Islands. The Toronto Island Ferry schedule varies as to the season. The trip on the Toronto Island Ferry from the mainland to each island dock is about 15 minutes, with Toronto Island Ferry schedule departure times varying depending on the destination.

The Toronto Ferry Docks is located at the foot of Bay Street and Queens Quay, just West of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel.

You also get a great view of Ontario Place and there are usually some light aircraft in the circut for the City Centre Airport.

If you take a kite to the beach for a flight do not go too far south (about 200 metres) as that beach is 'clothing optional'. This beach is seldom closed because of pollution during the summer and the water is refreshing.
