Wreck Beach, Clothing optional beach at Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, Canada
The beach stretches 6.7 kilometers along the coastline from Acadia Beach to Booming Grounds Creek, featuring both sandy areas and rocky shorelines.
The area was reclaimed from the sea during World War I through collaboration between the Canadian Army and the University of British Columbia for beach landing training.
The beach gained recognition in 1991 as an official nudist destination after decades of use by people seeking freedom from social restrictions.
Access requires descending 490 wooden steps via Trail 6, with the nearest parking available at West Parkade near the University of British Columbia.
Licensed vendors operate directly on the beach, offering various items while maintaining the natural character of this clothing-optional environment.
