The Good

  • Proximity to Montréal: The beach is only about 50 kilometers from downtown Montréal, making it a quick getaway from the city.
  • Beautiful Natural Setting: The beach is long, sandy, and surrounded by a stunning natural landscape, including a pine forest and the Lac des Deux-Montagnes.
  • Social Atmosphere: 'Okapulco', as it’s affectionately known, attracts a diverse crowd, including straight, gay, couples, singles, and families. The social vibe here is welcoming and relaxed.
  • Activities Available: Popular activities include swimming and volleyball, and the beach has amenities like toilets, showers, picnic tables, and a snack bar during the high season.
  • Tolerance for Nudity: Despite the “no nudity” signs, nudity has been openly tolerated for years, making it a popular spot for naturists.

The Bad

  • Stable Flies: These pesky insects can be bothersome, particularly on days with certain wind conditions.
  • Fees: The park has a per-person entry fee and a separate parking fee, which can add up, especially on busy weekends.
  • Busy Boats: On weekends, the area can get crowded with boats, which can disrupt the peaceful atmosphere and affect the overall experience.
  • Short Season: Get to the beach while you can! The season is short in Montréal

The Naked Truth

Oka Provincial Park’s nude beach, dubbed “Okapulco,” is one of Québec’s most popular nude beaches, drawing large crowds despite its unofficial status. The beach’s laid-back, friendly vibe makes it a great spot for socializing or simply relaxing in nature. However, be prepared to pay for entry and parking, and watch out for stable flies on windy days. Overall, it’s a fantastic nude place to enjoy the sun and water close to Montréal, even if it’s not officially recognized as a clothing-optional beach.

Insider Tip

Bring your lunch to enjoy the full day at the beach and don't pack too heavy the trail is 10 to 20 minutes of walking distance from the last parking area.

When my friend and I decided to visit Oka Beach (known locally as 'Okapulco'), the well-known nude beach within Oka Provincial Park, we were prepared for a busy day, but the sheer number of people still took us by surprise. We managed to find a parking spot after a bit of searching, and while the park’s fees added up—$20.90 for a single person with a car—it was worth every penny once we reached the beach. The 15-minute walk to the nude section was easy enough, with a clear path leading us through the park’s beautiful surroundings.

When my friend and I decided to visit Oka Beach (known locally as 'Okapulco'), the well-known nude beach within Oka Provincial Park, we were prepared for a busy day, but the sheer number of people still took us by surprise. We managed to find a parking spot after a bit of searching, and while the park’s fees added up—$20.90 for a single person with a car—it was worth every penny once we reached the beach. The 15-minute walk to the nude section was easy enough, with a clear path leading us through the park’s beautiful surroundings.

Arriving at the beach, we were immediately struck by the diversity of people there. While we did see some families with children, the beach was mostly populated by couples and groups of friends. There was also a noticeable gay section further down the beach, where a lot of the socializing and activities were happening. Despite the large number of people, the beach didn’t feel overcrowded, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits, enjoying the sunny day.

The atmosphere at Oka Beach is unique—there’s a great mix of relaxation and socializing. During the day, it was peaceful and laid-back, with people sunbathing, swimming, and just soaking in the natural beauty of the place. We even spotted a vendor selling snacks, but if you’re hoping for a cold beer, you’ll need to bring your own discreetly (shhhhh), as alcohol isn’t officially allowed on the beach.

What really impressed us was how safe and welcoming the environment felt, especially as two women visiting on our own. The crowd was respectful, and while there was definitely a lively vibe, it never crossed into anything uncomfortable or unsafe. We felt at ease the entire time, whether we were lounging by the water or walking down the beach.

As the day went on, we decided to explore further east towards the river, where the beach became quieter and more serene. This part of the beach is perfect if you're looking to escape the more social sections and enjoy a bit of solitude. The water was refreshing, though a bit cool, and the natural surroundings were stunning, reminding me of Port Burwell Ontario, but with more of a river vibe here (the water also looked cleaner!).

One thing to be aware of is the potential for stable flies, which can be a nuisance on certain days. We didn’t experience any issues during our visit, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially if you’re planning to spend the whole day there.

In the end, Okapulco turned out to be a fantastic choice for a summer day. Whether you’re there to socialize, relax, or just take in the beautiful surroundings, there’s something for everyone. If you’re in the Montreal area and looking for a Canadian nude beach experience, Okapulco is definitely worth checking out. It’s a place where you can truly feel free and comfortable, surrounded by nature and a diverse, friendly Montreal crowd.

Getting There

Oka Provincial Park is located about 50 kilometers west of downtown Montréal, nestled along the north shore of the Lake of the Two Mountains (Lac des Deux-Montagnes). The park offers over five kilometers of shoreline, with the popular nude beach, affectionately known as "Okapulco," situated east of the main textile beach. Although nudity is not officially permitted, the beach has been a haven for naturists for decades, attracting a diverse crowd.

By Car:
From Montréal, take Highway 13 north, then head west on Highway 640. Follow the signs for Oka Provincial Park, turning onto Highway 344 West. The entrance to the park is at the end of the highway. Once inside, park at the last parking lot on the left side. From there, it’s about a 10-minute walk (approximately 1 km) along the beach to the nude beach area.

By Public Transport:
Unfortunately, public transportation directly to Oka Provincial Park is limited. The best option is to drive or consider carpooling with friends. If you don’t have access to a car, you could take a bus to a nearby town and then use an Uber or cab to reach the park.

By Boat:
Boating to Okapulco is a popular option for many people. You can anchor your boat close to the beach and walk ashore to enjoy the sun and sand. Be mindful of the water levels and other boats when anchoring, as weekends can get really busy on the lake. This is a great way to arrive if you want to avoid the walk from the parking lot and enjoy a scenic approach to the beach.
