It is Vancouver's nude beach -- need I say more? There are not many creeps around, and it attracts really diverse crowds. Families, drum-circling 20-somethings, grandparents, couples, students, professors...everyone loves Wreck! It is accepting, tolerant, and a ton of fun. An afternoon at Wreck will be an afternoon of fun for everyone.
From the markets (with really cheap, nice, stuff) to the awesome food/vendors, you will have a good time. You can take a quick dip in the ocean in the summer, and return to suntanning (as clothed, or as un-clothed, as you want). You can also meet some really interesting people. Awesome community, and interesting heritage.
425+ stairs to get down, and make sure to look at a map. Bring cash in case you want to buy something. No pictures of people, please!
