## Quick answer

Anchor east of the ABYC mooring field off Woodbine Beach, 200m from the Leslie Street Spit breakwall. Temporary no-anchor zones extend from Ashbridge's Bay Marina to the Outer Harbour entrance during fireworks, enforced by Toronto Police Marine Unit and Harbour Commissioners.

## Detailed answer

Best viewing is northeast of the ABYC race marks, 150-300m offshore from the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant. No-anchor zones are marked by yellow buoys; violators face $250 fines. Arrive by 19:00—space fills fast. Monitor VHF Ch. 16 for Marine Unit updates. Avoid the channel between the Boat Launch and Tommy Thompson Park tip due to ferry traffic for the Toronto Island ferries.
