The Toronto Islands are a chain of 15 small islands in Lake Ontario, south of mainland Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Ward's Island offers views of the eastern side of the harbour which is more industrial on the other side of the water.
There is a footbridge connecting Centre Island to Algonquin Island. The north side of the island has great views of the Toronto skyline.
Although built in 1995, this fire hall has a quaint old-fashioned look.
Most of the eastern section of Lakeshore Ave is on a boardwalk over 1 km long along the lake's edge. You may see boats entering and leaving Toronto Harbour via the Eastern Gap. On the inland side, between the trees and bushes, you may see short walkways leading to cottages long since demolished; the island community was once much larger.
Explore the labyrinth built by the church parishioners.
St. Andrew-by-the-Lake is an Anglican church serving the islands' residents and visitors. This cute church of semi-Gothic/Medieval style was built in 1884.
