Monument to champion rower Ned Hanlan (1855-1908) plus a 1902 tugboat named in his honour, now mounted on a pedestal.
Hanlan's Point Beach is the only officially recognized clothing-optional beach in the City of Toronto. It was first approved as clothing-optional in 1894 but this approval was repealed in 1930 due to the protests of citizen's groups. The official status was restored in 2002 following a three-year pilot project, and as of 2023 the beach (and the portion designated as clothing-optional) is gradually being expanded, including a section of beach to the south that restores part of the shoreline that had eroded. Expect this beach to be the most crowded and noisiest of all the island beaches on summer weekends. The beach is accessed by trails and a boardwalk from the main pathway through the sand dunes and forest. Washrooms and a snack bar are located off the beach, along the main pathway.
Olympic Island offers great views of the Toronto skyline. The island also is home to the Lagoon theatre and has a large field for picnics and BBQ.
