## Quick answer

Use Eastern Avenue to Coxwell Avenue, then south to Lake Shore Boulevard East.

## Detailed answer

During major events at Woodbine Beach, Lake Shore Boulevard East often closes. From the Gardiner, exit at Eastern Avenue, head east to Coxwell Avenue, then south to Lake Shore Boulevard East. This avoids festival congestion near the main beach entrance and provides direct access to the boat launch area.
