Hanlan's Point Beach, Clothing-optional beach on Toronto Islands, Canada
The beach extends along Lake Ontario with white sand shoreline and clear water, offering views of Toronto's downtown skyline.
Established in 1862, Hanlan's Point Beach transformed from a traditional recreational area to an officially designated clothing-optional beach in March 2002.
The location holds significance as one of the ten oldest surviving LGBTQ+ spaces globally and hosted Canada's first Pride celebration in 1971.
Visitors can access the beach via ferry service from downtown Toronto, with regular departures throughout the day from May through September.
The beach area includes dedicated sections for both clothing-required and clothing-optional activities, making it suitable for different preferences.
