Wreck Beach

Wreck Beach is actually a huge area in Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and if you only see the "Main Beach", you're missing out on the whole gay part! "Main Wreck Beach", the busy one at the bottom of the trail 6 stairs that's in all the tourist brochures, is almost entirely heterosexual, but a local secret that the tourists don't know about is the huge area encompassing about 1.5 kilometers of waterfront to the south, including Oasis Beach and Pebble Beach, which is mostly gay, mostly nude and is extremely cruisy. To get to Oasis Beach you can go down to the bottom of the Trail 6 stairs from Marine Drive, then turn left and hike about 20 minutes or about 3/4 km until you get to the big sandy area. Oasis beach itself is very cruisy, mostly nude, and the "gay ratio" here is about 90%, but the real action takes place in the trails uphill on the other side of the trail from the beach (discretion is mandatory however as a few families still walk down the main trail here). You can also access Oasis Beach from the Trail 7 stairs off of Old Marine Drive, where there is more parking (Old Marine Drive itself is also very cruisy). Turn right at the bottom of the Trail 7 stairs and hike for about 15 minutes. Pebble beach is about another 3/4 km south of Oasis Beach, and tends to be even more gay and more cruisy than Oasis Beach, as very few straight people, families and park rangers come to this part of the park. To get to Pebble Beach, turn left at the bottom of the Trail 7 stairs and hike for about 15 minutes past Strip Beach, another thin sandy area which is mostly nude and also very cruisy. Or, if you're coming from Oasis Beach, just continue south for about another 3/4 km.

Forty percent nude on a crowded beach

Head out to UBC (university of bc) and go to the most westerly point of the campus. That should get you onto nw marine drive. Look for trees to your west and a steep treed slope down. There is a merchant stand at the top of the trail and lots of parked cars. There is pay parking south of the trail head. Enjoy the easy hike down cuz the hike up will get you panting. There are allot on this beach just to 'rubber neck' so dont be surprised when you hear not yet mature girls giggling at the nudists or see lots of clothed people. I would put the gay ratio at 20% maybe. If your looking for sex / wanting to have sex, try south into the swampy area where gay guys sometimes go/wait. Swimming is now frequent here in the summer. It is also a tradition to howl at the sun as it dissapears from the horizon - so dont be surprised when you hear it. Summer time brings the crowds, merchant tents and the odd festival. Alcohol and drugs are easy to buy on this beach, just lay down and they will come around every half hour in between police patrols. There is word of another nude beach in White Wrock - due to the overcrowding at Wreck.
