​​Toronto Island Park - A Sunny But Overrated Escape ☀️​​

Braved ​​30°C heat​​ to explore ​​Toronto Island Park​​—spoiler: it’s ​​smaller than you’d think​​! (Seriously, the "attractions" are very spread out for such a tiny island.) ​​Getting There:​​ 🚢 ​​Ferry from Jack Layton Terminal​​: ​​$9.11 round-trip​​, with schedules to ​​3 docks​​ (Hanlan’s, Centre, Ward’s). Water taxis exist but pricier. ​​Island Hacks:​​ 🚲 ​​Bike Share​​: Stations every ​​10 mins walk​​ (easy to swap bikes if you have the ​​$30 annual plan​​). ⏱️ ​​Full loop = ~40 mins cycling​​ (we did ​​Hanlan’s → Centre → Ward’s in 2.5 hrs​​). ​​"Attractions" Breakdown:​​ 🏖️ ​​Hanlan’s Point​​: Nude-friendly beach (pack a swimsuit!). 🎡 ​​Centre Island​​: Mini amusement park, petting zoo (goats, peacocks), and ​​Olympic Island skyline views​​ (Toronto’s "Outer Banks" vibe). 🛶 ​​Ward’s Island​​: Quiet park + ​​canoe rentals​​ (next time!). ​​Food & Drinks:​​ 🥤 ​​$6 Sprite from a cash-only vending machine​​ (ouch). Cafés/BBQs exist, but the island’s ​​too small to justify eating there​​. ​​Honest Takeaways:​​ ✅ ​​Decent for a quick nature fix​​ (but ​​not a full-day trip​​). ✅ ​​Biking = best way to see it all​​. 🚫 ​​Overhyped scenery​​ (photos make it look bigger!). ​​🔥 Pro Tip:​​ ​​Go early​​ to avoid crowds + ferry lines! #TorontoIslands #DayTrip #OverratedButPretty #BikeAdventures #CityEscape #SummerVibes
