The combination of the "510 Spadina" and the "503 Kingston Rd" streetcar is a good alternate route to get to the Beaches. Step off the ("503 Kingston Rd") streetcar at Queen Street East and Coxwell Avenue, then walk eastward on Queen and you'll first come across Woodbine Beach, Ashbridges Bay, and eventually the Beaches.
That's not the way they go EB; they go straight west on Ellesmere past Midland, looping around East Service, back to Ellesmere then go right to Midland. 🤦🏻♂️
