Prince Edward Island, Canada

Blooming Point Beach

Blooming Point Beach is the clothing-optional beach on Prince Edward Island — a remote stretch of the Gulf of St. Lawrence coast on the island's north shore, east of Prince Edward Island National Park. The beach is a long barrier beach of fine red PEI sand, backed by dunes, in a secluded part of the island accessible only by a seasonal road. The Gulf of St. Lawrence off PEI is among the warmest saltwater in Atlantic Canada — reaching 20–22°C in late July and August due to the shallow, enclosed nature of the Gulf. PEI's famous red-sand beaches and the combination of warm water and warm sand make Blooming Point one of the most pleasant naturist beach experiences on the East Coast.
