Burlington Beach
Burlington Beach stretches along the western edge of Lake Ontario, offering a wide sandy shoreline with unobstructed views across the water toward Toronto's distant skyline. The beach faces east, making it one of the better sunrise spots in the region, where soft pink and orange light spreads across the lake and reflects off the wet sand during low tide. Try shooting low to the ground to use the reflective foreshore as a mirror, or walk toward the water's edge to compress the skyline against the horizon. A mid-range zoom in the 24-70mm range handles most compositions well, though a longer lens lets you pull in the Toronto skyline on clear days. Parking is available nearby and the beach is easy to reach year-round, with winter visits offering dramatic skies and ice formations along the shoreline. (Burlington, Ontario, Canada)
