Toronto As A Local | The Beaches, Harbourfront + Humber Bay Park
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- If you're looking for one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN TORONTO you absolutely have to check out The Beaches and The Harbourfront. Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is often assumed to be a complete concrete jungle, but you'd be surprised of just how much nature and beautiful waterfront there is in this city. Join me as I bike over 50km from The Beaches, through downtown and all the way to Humber Bay Park in Etobicoke. This is seeing Toronto as a local, not just the small bit of waterfront that most tourists see. I hope you guys will enjoy this video and put some of these attractions on your list for your next visit to Toronto!

What a beautiful neighborhood and what a beautiful host!
Thanks for this. I was born and raised in Toronto. I eventually left but still love it. As kid in the 50's I biked everywhere and thought if I could live anywhere it would be the Beaches.
Alina, your videos have been varied and interesting lately, the travel situation has made you more creative,I like it 👍♥️🇬🇧
Kudos to you for biking that far! Your legs must’ve felt like jello afterwards lol
50km isn't that far. 31 miles. I was doing100km several times/mo in my early 60s and I'm not particularly athletic.
Thanks for the tour. I lived in Toronto through the 1980’s but never saw much of the waterfront up close like that. Its time to go back and explore.
Thank you for this beautiful video. Toronto is bike-friendly.
Wow, what a beautiful day with Alina on her bike. Exploring and stuff.. Loved it..
You speak so clearly. You are so sunny!
Thank you!
These are so nice to watch! I live in Toronto but haven't been far from my home due to the pandemic, so it's nice to see these familiar places that I miss. Thanks Alina!
Aw I'm so glad! Sending all the best to you and your loved ones!
As a person born in Toronto in the late 1960s, who lived in the city for most of my life... I appreciate your video tours Alina.
I’m so glad!
Seems like there would be something fun and interesting to do in Toronto nearly every weekend - assuming you work weekdays! Swimming, dining, music festivals .... Wow, what a swath of lakefront to cover! OK, I’ll pray for those sweet knees, Alina! Thanks for the mileage, err, kilometers! Get some needed rest! Much love.
Yeah Toronto definitely has an endless sea of things to do!
Alina, I think one of the local Toronto TV stations should hire you to do a vlog spot for their news shows. Could be called “On the Go in Toronto, with Alina!” You could highlight last week’s events, and recommend upcoming events for the following weekend! I know, it’s nothing new, but you’d be so good at it. Besides, Torontonians (?) would find you adorable, just like your CZcams community! Has anything like that been offered to you?
Hey beautiful, wow, you picked the perfect day to go biking, all sun and blue skies, a few clouds here and there, that's an interesting part of Toronto I wouldn't mind seeing myself!!🙂❤💯
Спасибо, Алина! Суперская велоэкскурсия, очень понравилось)
I live in Ohio, USA. I go to Toronto couple times a year. I did not know that Toronto has such a beautiful beaches. I definitely will check them out when I come next time. Thank you!
Good job once again :) What makes Toronto so cool is that you can live a cosmopolitan life and still be in touch with nature and relax. Believe me that isn’t always possible in bigger cities around the world and in Asia ... :D
👍...that's true lots of green spaces ....people need to protect and appreciate them 🥰
Ура, Алина стала велоблогером, я очень люблю смотреть велоблоги. Сделай обзор велоинфраструктуры Торонто и своего велосипеда. Велодорожки у вас конечно супер.
As usual, great video! The music you choose when you do your editing is again, perfect! Can't imagine what it would you go through picking through all that music! But you do it well! Thank you for the video!
WOW what a change this was. I remember parts of your city and also saw many new things since I was there over 20 years ago. I only spent 4 days there, and there is no way anyone could ever see all what Toronto has in that time frame. One thing I do remember well is the dinner cruise from the harbor front, that is one activity that will always attract me a lot. You covered a lot of area, hope you got a good rest after this bike ride. The beaches are really improved also, worth a trip back some day. As always Alina, you did it again in a wonderful sharing that you are famous for.... Send us more, PLEASE!! Keep Smiling !!!
Thanks, Michael!
Wow I wish to do this I'm saving money for that That video was awesome I really enjoy it. great camerawork once again I love the way you highlighted some parts of your travel.I hope you had an amazing timeWith the superb music.Always looking forward for your next video 😊.All the best 😘
Wow !!!! I had been looking for this kind of content. You have put in such a lot of effort and worked so hard to create this. I have also seen you other videos in this series and loved each one of them. Keep it up...All the best !!!!
Really nice video Alina! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Grew up close to lake in Oshawa and remember many days swimming in the cold water and wading out to find a warmer current. Yes, Lake Ontario is large enough that it has currents. I also remember the smell that wasn't very pleasant at times. Thanks for doing the tour.
Toronto has such a huge circumference ....ride into the annex up to forest hill village ...casa loma ..nice views
Wow! You sure do in-depth reporting on all your subjects. I have learned a lot about our big old world from your videos. It must’ve been quite an adjustment moving from the peaceful prairies to the big city.
At first, I thought Alina can really woof down a ton of food! Fast forward eight hours, 50 km of cycling and walking later, and realized you just about covered the entire Toronto shoreline of Lake Ontario. Toronto was in my reconnect bucket list until following your series. Toronto has since jumped to the top of my must-go "A" list thanks to you Alina! Beaver tail - a baker living la vida loco?
После твоего видео сразу захотелось посетить Торонто и позагорать на пляже 😀 Спасибо Алина за очень интересное видео 🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗
Добро пожаловать!
I just saw on the news they're starting up the ferry service to the island. 5,000 people per day.
Great video, Alina. Bikes are a wonderful way of exploring the world around us. Terrific to see so many people moving back to them again.
Thank you so much Alina, I love the way you make us travel with you.
My pleasure 😊
We love biking there too. We started at Edward Gardens all the way to the Humber Bridge considering that I only have one leg.
I lived in Etobicoke for two year's, studied at Humber college north campus, great two year's, Humber aboretum my favourite part of the campus.
Nice to see you fit & trim on the 🚲 ! It's a beautiful day in Toronto.
Thank you so much Alina - this video brought back *many* memories of beach parties I went to in my late teens and 20s. It also updated me on some new names of places you visited. It was a great video and much fun to watch and ride along with you... of course my legs are fine lol. Yours must have been aching the next day. I hope they're back to normal now. Looking forward to your next show. Thanks again, be well and enjoy the summer.
I'm glad it did! Thank you!
Thanks for posting. Lake Ontario is my fav lake to visit
O wow cycling running great 👌
another classic video
I'd say that I'm fascinated by the beautiful city of Toronto, thank you for a few minutes to make us enjoy other borders of this outstanding planet! I would sincerely like to see you at the Toronto Maple Leafs jockey stadium Air Canada Center, BR Carlos😘
Great video i enjoy ur biking along the waterfront so beautiful an alot to see an do thank you.
Smiling Alina, that’s what we need 😁 I’ll be there for you baby ... nice background music 🎶 choice... what a breadth of fresh air 😃 I’m a huge fan of tour biking 🚵🏽♀️ and it’s amazing to see you doing it 👏🏼👌🏼😁
I live in the west and begrudgingly I have to say that Toronto in the summer looks good and has much to offer as far as bicycle riding goes. An Ebike would work well there.
That was a dang impressive day of a bike riding plus hiking around too!! I’ve gotta remember to check out Lolas the next time I’m down there. Once I was crazy enough to rollerblade the distance from Humber Bay to Woodbine Beaches, but TTC’d it back.
HI FROM INDIA . I ENJOYED THIS WONDERFUL TOUR ON YOUR BIKE . HOME QUARANTINE HAPPY VLOG TO WATCH . THIS WEEK'S MY FAVOURITE VLOG
Superb, Alina, well done. I like you´re view into Toronto this way. Make`s me feel that Canada is missing here!.
Thanks for posting it! I'll check this route on next Summer.
Alina, you can follow The Don River on your bike to the Brickworks Quarry in about 20 mins from Front Street. If you go try to reach the top lip of the quarry for a nice view. Deer, coyotes and many turtles inhabit the area. It is quite safe, there are always people there.
Умничка что показала нам эти места, очень интересно где отдыхают канадцы.
Woww..best views...😍😍😍thanku for a look of good places ..😊😊👌👌
Beautiful!
You're in good shape to do that ride in 1 day Alina! I lived near the Beacher cafe in the 80s-90s. I bked but never made it to Humber park. Thanks for taking me back to my old home. I never liked those rocks they dumped in the water at Kew-Balmy beach. I paddled at the Balmy beach canoe club and they got in the way of our reggattas.
What an awesome video! Very well done. This is one of my fav videos and i have a persective of where things are now. The camera is better too
Some of the best videos, information etc ....thank you,,,,,and,,,,yes Soham Datta,,,,what a beautiful host!
Love Toronto! It’s beaches are sort of like Chicago’s lakefront beaches. Love your accent btw! As an American I find Canadian speak charming!
Epic ride with epic music! Never been to Woodbine Beach will check it out. Toronto Island ferry resuming in now so look forward to your guide there!
Beautiful landscape and nice vlog
Nice video dear... Beautiful
It is a good idea to use a bike. The first time I went to The Beaches we were in downtown and my friend said that it is close. And so we walked 13 kilometers on foot. Don't make such mistakes, take a bike.
Привет из Санкт Петербурга !У нас тоже строят велодорожки и очень много велосипедистов .Большие Пляжи вдоль Финского залива километров на 10 и песок не плохой но,дорожки из дерева нет !Ладожское озеро тоже очень большое и в Карелии хороший отдых!Алина спасибо за интересный ролик об отдыхе на озере Онтарио!
Thank You = Toronto is completely different than what I expected!!!
Hi Alina your videos of Canada are the only videos of Canada I have ever watched
Eli from Russia, Bald and Bankrupt and yours, are the only video I need when it comes to travel
Love and Peace May always be yours
Thank you!
From that shore line on nice day you can actually see st. Catrine’s or Niagara falls skylines over the lake.
Toronto harbor is beautiful like the vlogger hope I can visit Toronto one day
What a beautiful guide video! I've just subscribed!
Great video! Makes me want to visit and when our border, live in Seattle, I may just do that as I've always wanted to do the Trans Canada Highway from end to end, Looks as though Toronto is a bike friendly city and as a cyclist it would be a great way to get to know the city. Thanks
There is a bike path along the waterfront and the ravine systems are another world. The streets of Toronto are not safe for commuting to work. The urban planners worship cars. Pedestrians and cyclists have to take their chances. We are working on it but our bike friendliness is nothing compared to Seattle.
Dont you need a visa to leave Seattle and enter into usa territory after Seattle was pronounced an independent republic just few weeks ago??)))
I miss trip to Toronto last year
Wow Dear sister lam very happy tosee your vidio toronto clean and butiful sity it is speacial center ihopesee to another vidio

Amazing vlog I love Toronto so much I really enjoying your videos Alina Big greet from Saudi
Can't wait to move there and do all of this!
Nice Video. Lake Ontario is really nice lake. :) I enjoy swimming in that lake
I really like the bike lane around the lake is so pretty i am sure is so cool at night :)
That was cool. I live in Vancouver. Born in Montreal but grew up in Saskatoon. Moved to Van 23 years ago. Man time flies. Never been to T. I’m going to see if there is a video on Toronto island. I plan at some point to take a train across Canada and end up in Nova Scotia where my Mom grew up in Port Hood. Their house is still there. She was born inn1939. Cheers
Alina, keep biking to the West and come home to Saskatchewan
Красивые места , красавица Алинка! !! Приятная прогулка!!! 😉👍💝
You just - 4:11 - inspired a new cute CZcamsr! :)
Dramatic sound effects in the beginning leaves no doubt that there will be a multi-kilometer tour. I think You really good managed to convey the diversity of this city. Yes, it’s your look and your atmosphere, but they are so loveable. And I'm not surprised that your popularity is growing - 4:28 Yeah, probably not a lot of people from the outside imagine how green Toronto really is, including through the developed bicycle infrastructure. Moscow, traditionally being a Russian financial center, is trying to adopt Western experience first. And capital's authorities are also trying to establish a bicycle culture, but even here it`s still not easy due to the established mentality. Safe cycling is probably still only possible in the parks. I hope this will change for the better, as well as your situation with Toronto Island etc.
It's great that, thanks to modern developed information support also, You can vary the pace of your video - adding nice music fragments - and it still remains saturated with details. Beautiful green areas, classic sailing ships & the cute Pier 6 small house with interesting historical background and funny tail-pastry concept, and... wait - 7:18 (a pound of fresh sweet apricots, please!) - ok, excuse me, and it`s funny how Pier 6 building changes color depending on the viewpoint in Google Maps, You know 😅 Adorable Tori`s Bakeshop`s website looks like a children's book, and Foodland has one of the coolest street ads I've ever seen. By the way, when You said “pink balloons” it was something subconsciously-Cappadocian, wasn't it? :) Great & green episode, thank You! 💚
Glad you enjoyed it! Toronto does have a lot to offer. I noticed that Moscow had quite a few bike paths near the river, so very nice to see.
I recently discovered your channel a few weeks ago and love your content, everything from the Eastern Europe travels to life up in Canada. You are seriously making me want to cross the border and live up there, it looks so peaceful :) (the hockey alone attracts me but I'm getting more reasons from these sights). Keep up the great work, and you have a new fan! Also, what's your take on the theatre scene up there? Signed, A Forever Poor Actor XD
Thank you so much! The theatre scene is actually quite good in Toronto (if it wasn't for the usual situation). There's a lot of large scale theaters, as well as little indie ones.
After New York and London Toronto has the biggest live theatre scene in the world.
Wow, you did a quite good job to show us nice sceneries of Toronto. I am a super duper fan of your adventure video in abroad, but also so much loving your videos showing such local area’s introductions which you did in Tokyo, Kyiv etc.. Please take care of your legs for your next bike shooting. I am really looking forward to seeing you on CZcams again soon.
Thank you so much, Shigeru! Lots of fun stuff to come :)
I bet the vast majority of people who visit Toronto never visit a beach, just not something you associate with Toronto. Looks really beautiful :)
Grew up in Toronto around Neville Park in the Beaches, used to ride that path daily to my job downtown at John & Adelaide, loved that ride. Riding on Queen street between the Streetcars and traffic was off the table for me!
Yeah it's way easier on the bike paths!
Did u see the new white and red stripe street cars in her other video? I remember them to be black and red, back in 90s,
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.
M5A
Downtown Toronto
(Regent Park / Harbourfront)
I love Toronto. These are so nice to watch!
Thank you!
A beautiful place! Nicely done!🙂✌
The reality of the songs, the picturesque places, the beach, the bike, the wonderful atmosphere, with you! The video is very nice, feeling very calm please, no waiting room at all. The name of the singer and the name of all the songs? It's a good idea to add songs as you capture romantic scenes.
Thank you you are the best
omg..this brings back memories when i would bike from one end the other twice to three times a month and passing by redpath sugar mill brought me back, i wonder if loblaws is still there..hmm...thank you!...you should also try if you have not try the bike path from cherry street passed lakeshore and head east on the bike path then north bike path which will take you to The Brickworks..such a nice peaceful path. when you get to the brickworks try one of the baked cinnamon or ginger cookies..so delish..i may just have bike there again..thank you! you rock!
Thanks! And yes Loblaws is still at the Jarvis corner :)
LOL well at least you picked a beautiful day to do your bike tour, Alina! I'm very impressed with Toronto, thanks to you showing me so much of it! And by the way, you're too young to be tired! LOL
If you feel adventures the path does extend further west through the different neighbourhoods in Mississauga. It's a very pleasant ride. When the whether cools down a little I will head out that way. Enjoyed your video.
I was there in May and got the impression beach season might be June and July.
great city.
and super video m'am
Haven't been there in a few years,but always enjoyed this clean beautiful city with friendly people. You should wear a helmet though
Great, keep it up, love you!
Woww... So beautiful is Toronto...
Thanks for share it...
Can you make a video about the Toronto raptors?
Greetings from Tijuana México...
🥰lovely video !!
Thank you!!
Alina, love your videos! Wondering if you know of a REASONABLE law firm in Toronto. Focus is immigration/visas.
Omg, thank you for sharing this video Alina! These online classes just don't give me time to bike around, but u captured the exact path that I bike on. Lol now I feel like I biked there. Thank u for sharing this!!! Try PORT CREDIT for biking, its great. And dw I'll pray for ur legs cause I know the pain😄
haha thank you! I've heard good things about Port Credit!
Toronto is THE majestic city 😊
The more i watch, the more I do adore you as a person.
Was it fun and worth the aches?
Lol!!
It was!
Really nice tour. The parks and beaches....Oh to just sit on abench shade, cool morning soft breeze off the lake. Here in deep south east Georgia....75 to 80 degrees arou d 7:am...Going to be 93 by 2 pm, humid. Seriouly thinking of living in Canada.
Robert Speicher except that they don’t really know what 73-80 degree is )))), also ur gauge must be broken , we clocking 86 here in Ny and nj, so 80 for ga is sort of cold )) dont freeze ur ars down there
Hey Alina) I visited Toronto but very briefly, mainly nearby a Tower with its glassy scary floor... same feeling you had visiting Expo Ball in Astana) Love from KZ)
haha yes, the CN Tower does have a pretty epic glass floor
Superb !!! Please do show "Beaver Tail" in any of your upcoming videos... What kind of pastry is that?
I Love your channel ❤
