Street Style: nude beachers, full-moon partiers and local celebs come ashore at Hanlan’s Point
Hanlan’s Point, the part of the Toronto Island where you can find the city’s only clothing-optional beach, is accessed by an open-air barge instead of Centre Island’s enormous ferry. On a recent Sunday, we caught up with a handful of day-trippers as they disembarked at the pier. There were an eclectic mix of people: cycling families, groups of rowdy guys heading to the nude beach, a bongo-clad camper and even some local celebrities—we spotted MuchMusic host Sarah Taylor and fashion designer Sunny Fong of Vawk. Style-wise, jean shorts, colourful headgear and big sunglasses made for carefree, beach-appropriate outfits. Here, 15 of our favourite Island shots.

- <strong>Name:</strong> Sarah <br /><br /> <strong>Age:</strong> 32 <br /><br /> <strong>What brings her to the Island:</strong> “Respite from the city. Hanlan's Beach is some of my essential space during warmer months in Toronto. I'd move my home-office there if I could.”<br /><br /> <strong>The story behind her outfit:</strong> “I'm forever trying to wear anything other than black, but for me it's rare. I made today's turban by tying my hair up in one of my favourite hand-dyed pieces from Toronto's Norblack NorWhite, I love their clothing.”
