Directions

Sunnyside Beach sits along the western lakefront and is anchored by the historic Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion and an outdoor pool — one of the city's great summer institutions. The beach itself is sandy and well-maintained, with the Martin Goodman Trail running alongside for cyclists and joggers. It gets busy on hot summer weekends and parking can be a challenge, so arriving early or cycling in is wise. The surrounding Sunnyside Park adds picnic space and a festive atmosphere.
