This is why there's now large sand dunes on the Toronto Islands Toronto SandDunes
Construction of the site's natural dune habitat began in June 2021. The dunes are a key measure which helps protect the island from floods and storms. Last spring, the site was also planted with beach grass, native trees, and shrubs, whose root systems work to hold the sand dunes in place.
The new dunes are only accessible from a fenced-in walkway, allowing for the new vegetation to take root. While the project is in its final phase, the site remains closed to the public. However, the nearby Gibraltar Point and Hanlan’s Point Beach remain open.
