Amid the surf, sand and trees at the end of miles of rocks and sand lies this beach, where clothing-optional sunbathing is permitted. The festive atmosphere here includes children, seniors and everyone in between. Located near the University of British Columbia, it even has its own society that organizes events like sandcastle building, an art show, bacci ball, kite-flying and sand croquet - all sans apparel. Vendors sell everything from jewellery and clothing to special cookies and beer. Get your hair cut, a massage or even a pedicure.
