Facts and practical information

Pickering Beach is a community and unincorporated place in the Town of Ajax, Durham Region, Ontario Canada, located on Lake Ontario east of Toronto. It was once an important cottage destination for the upper class that was established by the prominent Toronto lawyer James Tuckett, in 1926, because of its eponymous beach. Today it is a part of the Town of Ajax and most of the original cottages have been replaced by modern residences. Among notable Canadians who were born in, lived in, or visited the beach are grocery chain founder T. P. Loblaw, wrestler 'Whipper' Billy Watson, artist Florence Helena McGillivray, and pioneering woman school board trustee Alice Charlotte Corbet. ()
