EAST END
PARADISE BEACH, AJAX
Paradise Beach is in the southeast corner of Ajax. It’s next to a large park with several amenities and there’s plenty of parking in the area. It should be noted that there is no lifeguard stationed at the beach. There’s plenty of space around the beach for families to have a picnic.
FRENCHMAN’S BAY EAST BEACH, PICKERING
