Wreck Beach is a mystical clothes-optional beach about 10 minutes from Downtown on the campus of the University of British Columbia:

Ah what a spectacle Wreck Beach is lol!
And can’t have too many margaritas down there otherwise the 365 stairs to get back up to street level may be too much.
The sea water down there is warm as well.

10 minutes? Is that by helicopter?

Wreck Beach is definitely my favourite in Vancouver though - great sand, warm water, scenic views, good vibes. Coincidentally, the best beach in Toronto for all of the same reasons is also it's clothing-optional beach, Hanlan's Point.

It's on the Toronto Islands. It's actually part of a string of nice sandy beaches along the outer edge of the islands including Gibraltar Point, Centre Island Beach, and Ward's Island Beach; though it's the only clothing-optional part.

Has Sandbanks Provincial Park been mentioned yet? Some great dunes & beaches at the eastern shore of Lake Ontario:

re: Hanlan's Point beach in Toronto. About 6-7 years ago (2016 maybe) my friends living in Calgary at the time came to Toronto for a few nights. The one afternoon we spent hours exploring the Toronto islands (I hadn't been since I was a kid). It was mostly a great day.

We walked all around and then came to Hanlan's Point. Having all never been to a clothing optional beach before we ventured onto it. Curiosity killed the cat as they say

Before we even got to dip our toes in the water (fully clothed-wearing shorts) I looked to my left and couldn't believe my eyes. Some dude with the largest erect unit I've ever seen in person was gratifying himself. Just full on ready to distribute his free literature all over the sand. I burst out laughing out it was so ridiculous and uncomfortable seeing this in public... in Canada no less.
When my friends finally noticed, my male friend says "Alrighty then, that's enough of the clothing optional beach!" and we quickly moved away from the public obscenity display.
That image unfortunately is seared into my brain. Cannot even make this up. Dude must've been most of the length of a ruler

Like I mentioned before, I'm seeing more and more seashells or whatever you want to call them. Been going up to this area on Georgian Bay since 2008 and seeing these for the first time this year.

And the sections with black sand may not be pretty, but it makes for the best sand castle sand. So compact.

The very small beach of South Shell Park in Oakville.

Dammit RBC.. why did you have to do that?

Echo beach will always be this hypothetical place in my mind.

My job WAS very boring, and i WAS an office clerk.

The hockey bro on the left is the son of the former CEO from the company I worked at for 7 years. Never got to meet him and as far as I know he never interned like the daughter of the next CEO, who I sat beside. Also, I was told that P.E. Trudeau's daughter sat at my desk a few years before.

Speaking of sexual displays in public, I was at a nude beach in Jamaica near Negril and just up the beach from Hedonism. A husband was finger blasting his wife on the beach and she was a milf. I caught a glimpse and wanted to look more and perhaps ask if I could join in on the action, but I controlled myself and went on my even merrier way.
