Beechgrove Beach
Beechgrove Beach is an informal clothing-optional lake beach in the east end of the Toronto area, on Lake Ontario. The east Toronto/Scarborough lakefront has a small informal naturist tradition distinct from the better-known Hanlan's Point on Toronto Island. Beechgrove provides a mainland alternative for Toronto naturists who don't want to take the island ferry.

Hanlan's Point Beach
Hanlan's Point Beach is one of only two officially clothing-optional beaches in Canada (the other being Wreck Beach in Vancouver), tucked on the western tip of the Toronto Islands a 15-minute ferry from downtown. The northern stretch is the designated nude section, formally re-recognized by the City of Toronto in 1999; the southern stretch is textile. The clothing-optional area has long been a hub for Toronto's LGBTQ+ community and draws a mixed crowd of locals, day-trippers, and Pride visitors. The beach itself is a long curve of soft sand on Lake Ontario, with shallow water entry, lifeguards on duty in summer, and a lawn behind the dunes shaded by mature trees. Access is via the Hanlan's Point ferry from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street — round-trip fare is modest, and the ferry runs roughly every 30–45 minutes in season. From the dock it's a 10-minute walk west along the boardwalk to the clothing-optional section. There are public washrooms and a small concession, but bring water, sunscreen, and shade; the island has limited amenities. Summer weekends get busy by midday — go early or on a weekday for the calmest experience.

Port Burwell Beach (C/O Section)
Port Burwell Provincial Park on Lake Erie has a clothing-optional section at the far end of its Lake Erie beach. Port Burwell Beach is a wide sand beach on the north shore of Lake Erie — the warmest of the Great Lakes, reaching 24–25°C in summer. The C/O section is at the east end of the beach, past the main park infrastructure, and has been informally established for decades.
Ontario, Canada
Sandbanks Provincial Park (C/O Section)
Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County contains some of Ontario's finest freshwater beach dunes — a UNESCO candidate landscape where massive sand dunes meet Lake Ontario on the north shore. The park has a longstanding clothing-optional section at the east end of Outlet Beach, accessed by a walk past the main textile beach area. Prince Edward County has developed into one of Ontario's most popular wine and food tourism destinations over the past decade, and Sandbanks is the anchor natural attraction. The C/O section draws both dedicated naturists and curious visitors — the combination of exceptional dunes, warm lake water (shallow Lake Ontario warms quickly), and the county's food-wine culture makes this a strong multi-day destination.

Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park
Bare Oaks sits on 52 acres of rolling countryside about an hour north of Toronto. It's one of Canada's largest and most active naturist parks, running year-round with heated indoor facilities. You'll find tent sites and RV hookups, but also cabins, a lodge, and seasonal trailers. The property has two pools (one heated indoor), hot tubs, saunas, sports courts, walking trails, and a clubhouse with a licensed restaurant and pub. This is a family-friendly park with a strong community feel. Weekends bring organized activities — yoga classes, live music, potlucks, kids' programs, holiday events. It's busy in summer but stays open all winter for sauna enthusiasts and cold-weather naturists. Day passes are available, but most visitors are members or overnight guests. The grounds are well-maintained and wooded enough for privacy between sites. Staff are welcoming to newcomers. You can visit for a single day to test the waters or book a cabin for a weekend. Many regulars have seasonal sites and treat it like a second home. The vibe skews toward long-time naturists rather than curious first-timers, but first-timers are explicitly welcomed with orientation tours.

East Haven Sun Club
East Haven Sun Club is a family-oriented naturist club about 45 minutes southeast of Ottawa, near the village of Casselman. It operates as a member-run, non-landed cooperative on private property. The site includes swimming facilities, wooded walking trails, and open sunning areas. Most visitors are local Ontario families and couples who've joined for the season or hold day-guest passes. The club follows AANR protocols: single men require sponsorship or pay higher guest fees, families and couples are welcome anytime. You'll find potlucks, volleyball games, and low-key social events through the summer. Facilities are modest — think community pool and picnic pavilion, not resort spa. East Haven is open roughly May through September, weather permitting. Winter access is limited or closed. Check the website for current membership rates and guest policies before driving out. The club prefers advance contact for first-time visitors.
Ontario, Canada
Lilly Valley Nudist Park
Lilly Valley Nudist Park sits on Pettit Road in Fort Erie, just a short drive from the Peace Bridge and Niagara Falls. It's a small, private naturist property that's been operating quietly for years, mainly serving Southern Ontario members and their guests. The grounds include basic amenities — pool, hot tub, open green space for lawn games — and some basic accommodation options for overnight stays, but this isn't a resort with hotel services or an on-site restaurant. It's a low-key, member-focused spot. You'll need to contact ahead to arrange a visit. First-timers usually need to come with a member or get approval from management. The vibe is laid-back and casual, more backyard social than polished resort. Expect a mix of regulars who've been coming for decades and newer folks discovering naturism in the Niagara region. The property is modest in size and amenities. If you're looking for resort-level facilities or a big social scene, this isn't it. If you want a quiet place to be nude outdoors without driving hours north, Lilly Valley does the job. Seasonal hours apply — typically May through September — and winter access is limited or closed.

Sunny Glades Naturist Park
Sunny Glades is a family-oriented naturist park in rural southwestern Ontario, about 30 minutes east of Chatham. The property spans roughly 50 acres of mixed woodland and open fields, with facilities including a heated pool, hot tub, clubhouse, volleyball courts, and walking trails. You'll find seasonal RV sites and basic tent camping available for members and their guests. The park operates as a membership-based club affiliated with the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN). Day visits require advance arrangement and typically need sponsorship by a current member, though first-time visitors can often arrange introductory visits during warmer months. The season generally runs May through September, with the busiest activity on summer weekends. Facilities are modest but well-maintained. The clubhouse has basic kitchen facilities and indoor gathering space. Most activities center around the pool area during peak season. Expect a quiet, low-key atmosphere — this is a community space, not a resort with scheduled entertainment. Families with children are common on weekends.
Ontario, Canada
Sunward Naturist Park
Sunward Naturist Park sits on 125 acres of rolling hardwood forest about two hours west of Ottawa. Members own the land cooperatively through the Federation of Canadian Naturists. You'll find a clubhouse with kitchen and lounge, heated pool, volleyball courts, hiking trails, and basic tent/RV sites. A small lake offers swimming and canoes. Most visitors are FCN members or guests of members, though day passes are sometimes available by advance arrangement. The property has been clothing-optional since the 1970s. Facilities are simple and community-maintained — think summer camp, not resort. Weekends see the most activity, with potlucks and seasonal events. Midweek in summer can be quiet. The grounds close in winter. Calabogie is rural Lanark County — you're driving gravel roads through farmland and forest. Cell service is spotty. Bring groceries from Renfrew or Arnprior. The vibe skews older couples and retirees, with some families on long weekends. It's a relaxed, low-key place where people come back year after year.

McCrae Lake
McCrae Lake is a clothing-optional freshwater lake in the Parry Sound District of Ontario's cottage country — the Georgian Bay and Muskoka region north of Toronto. The lake is part of the shield lake landscape characteristic of this part of Ontario: Canadian Shield granite, clear cold water, forested shores, and the privacy that comes from limited road access. C/O use here is informal, in the tradition of Ontario's many backcountry naturist spots where the remoteness of the Canadian Shield provides natural seclusion.
