Oshawa, Lakeview Waterfront

A sand beach, a pier running out into Lake Ontario, and three nineteenth century heritage houses a short walk back from the water.
Ideal if
"You want open lake light and a long pier, then a short walk inland to three heritage houses for a completely different second look."
