I have come to the decision that Vancouvers' Wreck Beach is my favourite place on Earth (thus far). And yes, its mostly because of the nudity but not in the perverted sense. I have never come across a place where such freedom and beauty literally overwhelm my senses. Standing in the water and looking back at the beach is simply moving. All around are people, naked as the day they were born, skimboarding, sleeping, playing with their children, eating, selling cool clothing and jewellery, playing drums, cooking whole pigs to share with the beach-goers, swimming, laughing... it's exactly the way human beings are SUPPOSED to live!! All this is framed by a lush green forest on one side and spectacular mountains on the other.
BUT, if you plan to go to Wreck, for god's sake TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!! You will barely get half of the experience if you remain clothed. The whole point of the beach is the utter freedom without judgement. It's totally liberating.
But hurry up! Summer is almost over so make the most of it by kicking back, toking on a joint, nibbling on a magic mushroom, sipping a beer and eating a sandwich, all of which are available from the vendors roaming the beach. FUCK YEAH!!
