This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fairport Beach, Ontario. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Fairport Beach.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Fairport Beach is a urban community in Durham, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Fairport Beach is located at 43.8150°N, 79.1036°W.
Fairport Beach lies along the expansive horizon of Lake Ontario, where the shoreline meets the sky in a quiet convergence of water and land. It lies 14.5 km east-south-east of Markham, ON (from Markham, ON: bearing 118°T), and is situated 7.2 km south-west of Ajax. The terrain here rises toward the proximity of Dicksons Hill, grounding the landscape in a steady, elevated presence that overlooks the basin. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the lake, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that shifts with the cooling air. The atmosphere carries a persistent freshness, a clean salt-less scent rising from the depth of the lake to settle over the nearby reaches of the Rivière Rouge. The history of Fairport Beach finds its roots in the slow, deliberate transition from agricultural land to a residential waterfront, maintaining a character defined by its connection to the water. While the Parc urbain national du Canada de la Rouge rests some distance away, the influence of the natural corridor remains a vital part of the regional identity. The economy reflects a shift away from earlier agrarian patterns toward a quiet, modern residential life, yet the old patterns of the land persist in the layout of the streets and the orientation of the homes toward the lake. Residents often walk the paths near the water, their movements marking the passage of seasons as the wind pulls at the shoreline grasses, persistent and observant of the changing tides of the year.

Coordinates: 43.815, -79.103611. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts — including hourly outlooks — are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.
Detailed location data for Fairport Beach includes the postal code (L1W), telephone area code (226, 249, 289, 343, 365, 382, 416, 437, 519, 548, 613, 647, 705, 742, 807, 905). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Fairport Beach is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
