Silva Bay (site of Clothing-Optional Area)

 beach, water, bay, nude beach
There are several places you can go nude on the quiet beaches on Gabriola Island. The best is perhaps at the south end of the island by Silva Bay. This place is good on a hot day with low or medium tide or for a weekend of camping.

From the ferry landing it's about 15 kilometres (a half-hour bike ride). For a weekend or long day this is a great spot. The ferry costs about $11.45 (return) and leaves from downtown Nanaimo.

  • This info has NOTHING to do with Silva Bay (although cord's are for Silva Bay). Poster also recommends trespassing to get to the beach described. The ferry is 15 km away (not 8 km), and ferry rate has been $11.45 for years (not about $5).
  • I may be moving to Gabriola and am interested in the actual directions if you got 'em...
