| A cute couple enjoying the scenery of Lake Ontario, just off the Hamilton Beach Trail |
Hamilton has a beach. Yes, it's true! It is not the Bayfront Park Beach spot but we do have one and back in the day they even had an air ride that circled around a nearby public outdoor pool. Today we have a new outdoor pool that can be found at the Lakeland Centre and a whole lot more! |
| Mate*(tea) time on a rock |
In 2003, Hamilton
Waterfront Trust and City of Hamilton completed the Hamilton Beach Trail that spans 8.5km. It is the perfect trail for roller bladers/skaters or bikers are the trail is neatly paved and smooth. For me, I'll just enjoy the scenery by foot, and enjoy my Mate (tea) on a rock overlooking Ontario Lake, thank-you very much.
Along the strip there are also plenty of places to tan or jump in the water if you do dare. Yes, our beach is sandy, like with real sand. To be truthful some places are a little rocky, but it shouldn't deter you as you can find a better spot. The Hamilton Beach Trail also connects with many different trails in Hamilton and in Burlington and has easy access from highways, Beach Blvd., Van Wagners Beach Rd., and by bus (HSR Route 56 or Burlington 1).

The trail also goes in the Confederation Park, passes Barangas Restaurant/Night Club, Hutch's, and the new Lakeland Community Centre (outdoor pool, basketball courts & more) among many others.
Just like many of the other places in Hamilton I've blogged about, there is nature to be seen and appreciated on the trail as well. It is home to animals and plants that are endangered or very rare to find, making its ecosystem very important. I managed to take pictures of some birds, but only one photo was worth sharing here.
