How to Find a Nude Beach in British Columbia

British Columbia is the Canadian Province furthest to the west. Between beaches on the Pacific as well as those of lakes and rivers, it is not difficult to find a nude beach in British Columbia. Here are some starting points.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Vancouver Area

1. Consider Wreck Beach in Vancouver. This is the most common nude beach in British Columbia. Because it is so popular, this article will not address getting there; the information is readily available in a number of places.
2. Consider a slightly less popular nude beach in Vancouver. Visit Brunswick Beach by taking Interstate 5 north from the north part of Vancouver. After about a mile, you'll come to a parking area; park and take the trail to the clothed beach at Brunswick Point. From there, walk east a few hundred yards to the nude beach.
3. Consider going to the beach at Chilliwack Lake and use one of its secluded areas as a nude beach if neither of these beaches is to your liking but you do not want to leave Vancouver.

Victoria Area

4. Know that if you are in the province's capital city of Victoria on Vancouver Island, there are a number of directions to go in order to find a nude beach.
5. Consider Thetis Lake Park. To get there leave Victoria on Highway 1. You'll want to take the exit for the Western Communities and Colwood, and then follow signs to the Park.
6. Consider Hornby Island and the nude beach that is located there. To get there follow Route 19 north to Denman Island; take the ferry to Hornby Island and drive to the beach at Little Tribute Bay.

Tips & Warnings

• If the beach at Little Tribute Bay on Vancouver Island is too crowded for you, consider going to one of the other nude beaches on the island.
• In addition to beaches, there are a number of Hot Springs throughout British Columbia where nude use is common.
• Keep in mind that, even though nudity is acceptable on a number of beaches in Canada, public nudity is illegal throughout the country.
