Not a typical visitor destination, Wreck Beach is difficult to access (you must hike down a forest path to reach the beach ). Worth the hassle? Absolutely. Read more

Check tide charts if you go right at bottom of Trail 6. Also note where debris from previous tides is located on the sand. You get trapped in certain areas & have to slog through water & rocks.

Katie Olfert

Been here a couple times; it's so close to campus! A popular location for friends to get together and sit around a bonfire . Definitely a social atmosphere. Also happens to be clothing-optional.

Gaston Motola Acuna

Oh boy, there are naked people there! Nudist beach in case you didn't know, bizarre if you're not used to that.

Penny Ball

Respect the culture, you will be fine. Hide your booze, no canned music , and be friendly . You will have fun, the cops will leave you alone.

Rodrigo Salatine

For those who like and feels comfortable in the middle of a bunch of naked people . It's a great place. Beautiful beach !

Joe Rackham

Be aware, there's a lot of stairs down to get to the beach - and unless you're really fit, the climb back up the stairs is exhausting!

Kate Ciurej

Prepare to descend a lot of stairs to reach the beach from the entrance at University Blvd. and Marine Dr . They're well worth the climb down and back up!

Barb Snelgrove

Bring plenty of SPF, food and "drinks" a plenty on site, just remember you still have to get up that hill at the end of the day, so everything in moderation!

Wes Wetanko

The secret tunnel is in the trees midway down the stairs... take a shortcut to the beach !

Victor Fei

Don't come here when it's warm and sunny. A nudie beach in that weather.

@JaumePrimero

Best place to go if you prefer hitting up the beach in the buck. :)

Albha Egan

The steps are worth it!

Moe Shehata

The decent is easy, keep your eyes to yourself but it is a hard ascent.

Jukebox Print

An escape from other busy Vancouver beaches . Remember to be sun safe!

J Cuaig

Walk down the concrete path five min up the road from wreck beach entrance, past the shacks and the fence to the end of the world!!!

Kristy Williams

To paraphrase the late, great Douglas Adams: always remember to bring a towel!

Dave Mc

Main trail stairs: turn right if you like a laid back vibe, turn left for more activity. If you are hung up with nudity go to Kits

Rolf Brulhart

head to the right at the bottom of the stairs at the main beach and walk the coast to find a less 'busy' area.

Samuel Oh

There are actually a lot more young people here than I expected. Just don't go staring at them bewbs too much

Bradley Hedberg

Where shoes from the stairs. I just got burned soles (seriously blisters and all)

oli maughan

buy a sari from the first booth to left of the stairs to sit on...

Michael Reed

Don't be shy - all types come here, and no one judges!

Kuuala

Take it all off and be free! nice water and a great view of the ocean

Bruce Ree

Jenkin A.

Worlds best chillout beach . look out for the nudies

Kathleen McGee

No tan line tanning

Spandy Andy

It can get a bit nippily ;-)

Christie Gray

Great place to watch the sunset .

Jodie Lightfoot

Students: take a break & head down Trail #6 at the end of NW Marine Dr . for the most stunning view on campus. Bring swimsuit & a towel and be transported to a world far, far away from your textbooks.

Bradley Hedberg

Wear that is.

Andrei Verchinski

Yes it is really good

Karenina Asísinapellidos

Nothing says freedom as going naked to this magnificent beach ????

Fernando Lugo

Gran tranquilidad y sin prejuicios. Asegúrate de traer comida y lo que quieras de beber. Está prohibido beber alcohol en la playa pero con discreción y moderación lo puedes hacer

Virginie Lessard

Au fond de la beach à gauche se situe les homosexuels au milieu de la beach les hetero!

Куча старперов, в футболках и без трусов!
