Humber Bay Park

About Humber Bay Park

Humber Bay Park East and West jut into Lake Ontario at the west end of Toronto, lined with scalloped bays, armour stone and slabs of concrete rubble. Their small, mostly unmaintained beaches are not groomed like the city's official beaches, so glass is left to accumulate.

Sea glass at Humber Bay Park

Larger and more interesting pieces than on the groomed city beaches, along with fossils; mostly green, brown and white.

Visiting Humber Bay Park

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
