Tommy Thompson Light Beacon sits at the tip of the Leslie Street Spit — a remote breakwater with dramatic open-lake views, rugged foreground rock, migrating birds and Toronto skyline backdrops. Expect long walks (or bike) from Leslie St parking; no vehicle access. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and silhouettes; winds and waves add drama. Trails are gravel; bring water, windproof clothing and a sturdy tripod. Drones often restricted — check local rules.
