  • Bluffer's Park beach

The Bluffs neighbourhood wraps around Scarborough’s most famous natural feature. Residential streets on the clifftop offer lake views; at the base, Bluffer’s Park draws swimmers, kayakers, and picnic groups all summer.

Character

A mix of 1960s to 80s bungalows and newer infill, with a quieter pace than mid-Scarborough corridors. Guildwood and Cliffside overlap culturally, many residents identify simply as “living near the Bluffs.”
