About this place
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.
Etiquette & ground rules
Standard naturist etiquette applies throughout the property. Carry a towel to sit on at all times, especially around the pool and common seating areas. Photography is strictly prohibited without explicit permission from everyone in frame — leave cameras and phones put away in shared spaces. Children are welcome but must be supervised by their parents at all times. Alcohol is typically permitted in moderation but confirm current policies when you visit. Respect quiet hours after dark, particularly near camping areas.

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.
