Cherry Beach has a diverse and colourful place in the history of Toronto.  The 1980’s pop hit “Cherry Beach Express” tells tales of illegal and corrupt adventures on the sands.  The City of Toronto has spent years improving Cherry Beach as part of the Waterfront Redevelopment Project.  Today, Cherry Beach is a safe, friendly, wonderful place for kite-surfing, swimming, walking, and BBQs.  It is host to the music festival Promise Cherry Beach every summer weekend.  There is an off-leash dog park here.  Cherry Beach is mostly sandy and is usually one of the cleanest beaches in mainland Toronto.  It is sometimes called "Clarke Beach".
