Wreck Beach

Vancouver’s famous Wreck Beach is going through some challenges.
Thanks to Craigslist, public displays (more intimate than below) are now becoming more common on wreck beach.
According to an article in the Straight:
“Judy Williams thinks public sex could ultimately ruin the beach. For 27 years, she’s been at the helm of the Wreck Beach Preservation Society, defending Canada’s first clothing-optional beach against a “never-ending and ceaseless onslaught” of attacks. After as many as 80 years as a tacit clothing-optional zone, and drawing as many as 12,000 users in a day, Wreck has no legal protection and no real representative government.
If the cruisers take over, she fears, the heat will come down on everyone. With 2010 on the horizon, she’s afraid that the same folks who brought us Project Civil City will crack down on Vancouver’s “green-light” district—where just about everything goes, but not quite”
Wreck Beach is one of the largest clothing-optional beaches in the world, located next to the University of British Columbia campus. The near location to the campus guarantees a few hotties each weekend…
