Where else in North America, let alone in the world, can you spend spring mornings skiing powder snow, and then, spend the afternoons sunning your bare buns, but at
Wreck Beach, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada?!!
This 6-kilometre long, wilderness-like beach which follows a promontory below an emerald-green forested, 200-foot high, cliff system weathered to beauty akin the White cliffs of Dover, is Canada's first and largest, legal, clothing-optional beach and is a Mecca to visitors from around the world!
Over 100,000 visitors per year find their way down the many sylvan trails to the glistening sands and sparkling waters where the mighty Fraser River waters mingle with those of the Strait of Georgia and English Bay. Eagles, kingfishers, pileated woodpeckers and escaped exotic domestics such as parrots, lovebirds and magpies compliment the stately great blue herons as they scout the shallow beach waters in search of fish. The largest heronry in the Vancouver area is found in the upland forests behind Wreck Beach for these magnificent birds.
