Sugar Beach
Discover the beauty of Sugar Beach, a human-made urban oasis in the heart of Toronto. Escape the city bustle and immerse yourself in this peaceful lakeside retreat, located across from The Sugar Path Refinery. Perfect for urban dwellers seeking a quiet escape.
Human-Made Oasis
In the video below, even the beach, with its white Muskoka chairs, imported sand, and artificial hills where children played, was surrounded by commercial and industrial activity. The human presence in the area largely defined the soundscape.
In the image to your left, a large tree dominates the scene, yet no birds or nests are visible.
Soundscape
In the video above, the soundscape includes construction machinery, boat traffic, the movement of vehicles on nearby streets, and the distinctive industrial noises associated with sugar being loaded onto a large cargo ship and transported into the Redpath factory.
In the image to your left, both human footprints and seagull tracks are visible, a contrast to what we observed at Lakeshore. Notably, however, no seagulls were present at the time the image was taken.
