| 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
7.8 kilometers long, wilderness-like beach, which follows
a promontory below an emerald-green forested, 200-foot high cliff
system magnificently weathered to beauty, is Canada's first and
largest,
legal, clothing-optional beach and is a Mecca to visitors from around
the world!

Eagles,
kingfishers,
Pileatted
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. |
On a glorious summer weekend, literally, over 14,000 visitors can flock to the beach which stretches from the Musqueam Reserve to Spanish Banks West. Vendors' Row, which stretches down the middle of the beach below Trail 6, offers such wonders as exotic paraeos from the South Seas to exquisite hand-crafted jewelry and glass boxes. If
you're
hungry,
Lucy's Peruvian Veggie empanada's, Stormin'
Norman's Veggie burgers, Abduhl's Dagwood-type fresh ham and cheese or
tuna sandwiches will more than sate your appetite! Liquid refreshments
go down well on scorchingly-hot days and whether you crave the icy cold
wonder of Marco's organic fruit juices and pops or Brent and Norman's
refreshing chilled water – you don't have to go thirsty! |
