The annual ride brings thousands of participants together to promote cycling, sustainability, and radical self-expression, all while turning the city streets into one giant nude parade. Every summer, riders hit the streets by bike, skateboard, and rollerblades in various states of undress. Helmets and shoes remain the only mandatory outfit pieces.

Plan your next retreat to Circle Wellness Spas. Designed as a fully private, self-guided escape, this immersive wellness experience invites you to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with yourself in a way modern life rarely allows. Rooted in nature, the space swaps harsh chemicals for salt, wood, essential oils, and open air. Try their WellPod, a multi-sensory sauna with Himalayan salt walls, ambient music and lighting, and a gentler low-heat design that encourages movement, mindfulness, and total relaxation at your own pace.

Brunswick Beach is a secluded stretch of shoreline just north of Lions Bay that’s long been a low-key destination for nude sunbathers willing to put in the effort to get there. While access can be tricky and discretion is strongly encouraged, the remote south end of the beach remains a quiet, clothing-optional spot where locals and regulars come to enjoy the ocean, mountain views, and a little extra freedom.

Crescent Rock Beach is a hidden clothing-optional spot tucked just south of Surrey’s popular Crescent Beach, where naturists have been quietly sunbathing and skinny-dipping for decades. Sheltered by bluffs and known for its peaceful vibe, sandy patches, and sunset views over Mud Bay, the secluded stretch offers a low-key alternative to the city’s busier beaches.
