## Quick answer

The old concrete pads and pilings at Tommy Thompson Park's tip, south of the lighthouse.

## Detailed answer

Toronto Region Conservation Authority permits pedestrian access to weathered concrete foundations at the Leslie Street Spit tip. These remnants of 1950s harbour construction offer textured backdrops. Stay on marked paths; no climbing on active breakwall structures.
