Montreal, Québec
Lac des Deux Montagnes beach with a long-running gay naturist section.
Oka Beach sits inside Parc national d'Oka, a provincial park on Lac des Deux Montagnes about 50 km northwest of downtown Montreal. The main beach is a large, family-oriented swimming area with Sépaq park entry fees. A 2.5 km walk east from the main parking lot leads to 'Okapulco' — an informal clothing-optional section that has operated for decades with tacit tolerance from park authorities. Gay men congregate at the far eastern end of the nudist section, a pattern documented across naturist and LGBTQ+ travel directories. On peak summer days, the nudist area draws 300-500 people. Access from Montreal takes about an hour by car.
