Fire Services, EMS personnel, and city bylaw officers will also be on scene.
Police say parking enforcement will also be stepped up over the weekend and Tuesday, and drivers should expect major delays, including on Lakeshore Blvd. East.
Since parking will also be restricted, people are encouraged to consider taking public transit, if possible, and the TTC will be adding additional buses to routes 22 Coxwell and 92 Woodbine.
Police are reminding people that personal bonfires and fireworks in city parks and on beaches are prohibited, and could result in seizures and fines and no one under 18 years of age can possess fireworks.
Alcohol is also not permitted at Ashbridges Bay.
If you drive to the beach, be mindful of residents in the area and do not block driveways or fire hydrants and keep music at a reasonable level with amplified sound such as DJ equipment and large wireless speakers not permitted.
More information about fireworks rules, safety tips, and proper disposal is available at Toronto.ca/fireworks.
