Oka Beach (Parc national d'Oka)
Oka Beach is the clothing-optional section within Parc national d'Oka, a provincial park on the north shore of Lac des Deux Montagnes, about 60km northwest of Montreal. The park's main beach is one of the most popular in the greater Montreal area; the C/O section is at the far end, reached by a walk along the beach or through the park's forest trails. The Oka C/O section is the closest naturist beach to Montreal with significant usage — a weekend naturist destination for Montrealers who don't want to travel far. The lake is warm and shallow; summer weekends are busy. The surrounding Laurentians provide a forested Québécois setting.

Plage de Boom Défense
Plage de Boom Défense is a clothing-optional beach near Gaspé, Quebec — at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the St. Lawrence meets the Gulf. The name references a log boom defense structure historically used to contain timber floating down to mills. The beach is a remote Gaspésian strand with the combination of isolation, dramatic scenery, and the naturist tradition that characterises Quebec's more remote clothing-optional spots.
Quebec, Canada
Plage de Cap-aux-Oies
Plage de Cap-aux-Oies is a clothing-optional beach on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, near the village of Les Éboulements. Charlevoix is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve — a landscape of dramatic river views, rolling hills, and pastoral villages that constitutes one of Quebec's most scenic regions. The beach here is a St. Lawrence river beach: wide, pebble and sand, with views across the Fleuve Saint-Laurent toward the south shore. The naturist tradition is informal and low-key, in keeping with Charlevoix's character as a region where Québécois culture runs deep and alternative lifestyles are accepted quietly.

Oasis Naturist Center
Oasis Naturist Center is a family-friendly naturist campground about 30 minutes north of Montreal in Terrebonne. The property covers wooded terrain with tent and RV sites, plus some basic rental accommodations. You'll find a swimming pool, a hot tub, and a clubhouse for social gatherings. The grounds are well-maintained and the atmosphere is low-key and community-oriented. This is a seasonal operation, typically open from late May through early September. Most visitors are Quebecois families and couples who come for weekend stays or longer summer vacations. The vibe is casual and welcoming to first-timers, with French as the primary language but English widely spoken. Day passes are available if you want to visit before committing to an overnight stay. Facilities are basic but functional. You'll have access to clean bathhouses, electrical hookups for RVs, and picnic areas. The pool is the social hub on hot days. Expect a quieter, more laid-back experience compared to larger commercial resorts. If you're looking for amenities like restaurants or organized activities, this isn't that kind of place. It's about simple outdoor recreation in a clothing-optional setting.
Quebec, Canada
Meech Lake Nude Beach
Meech Lake is a Gatineau Hills lake in Parc de la Gatineau, just north of Gatineau (across the river from Ottawa) — the closest major naturist spot to Canada's capital. The clothing-optional section is on the east shore of the lake, on a sandy beach accessible from the Gatineau Park road network. Meech Lake is perhaps most famous politically — the Meech Lake Accord, Canada's 1987 constitutional negotiations, took place at the government conference centre on the lake. The naturist beach tradition is entirely separate from that history and entirely more relaxed. The Gatineau Hills provide a beautiful Quebec Shield backdrop; the lake is warm in summer and the forested shores are beautiful. This is the Ottawa-Gatineau metro area's go-to naturist beach.
Quebec, Canada
Palmer River
Palmer River is a clothing-optional river location in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of southern Quebec, east of Quebec City. River naturism is a Quebec tradition — the province's many rivers and lakes provide a network of informal naturist spots away from organized clubs and beaches.
