You Can Wander Right Over Lake Ontario At This 137-Metre Pier Near Toronto

It glows every night. 😍

Staff Writer

Florida isn't the only place with jaw-dropping boardwalks over the water. Brant Street Pier in Burlington will let you wander right over Lake Ontario and enjoy non-stop breathtaking views.

You can find it just 40 minutes from downtown Toronto, in Spencer Smith Park.

Here you can walk along the 137-metre long path to take in the sights of the lake, waterfront and futuristic-looking massive beacon in the middle.

While the pier is fantastic no matter when to visit, it is extra magical in the evening as you can watch the sunset and then see it glow once it gets dark.

Every night the central tower is illuminated, and the colour change throughout the year to celebrate holidays and events.

If you are searching for something free to do, you should grab a cup of coffee and take a stroll here.

Brant Street Pier

Price: Free

Address: 1400 Lakeshore Rd., Burlington, ON

Why You Need To Go: You can look at the calendar and visit when it is glowing your favourite colour.
