The “Wreck” nude beach of the Okanagan is gone says its owners. The beach is on the way to Naramata and is is formally known as the 3 Mile Beach. Regular swimmer attend at the southern portion of the recreational area but the nude portion is some distance away along a path.

Owners put up no trespassing signs a few days ago and hired security guards to keep watch.

Locals, who have been using the beach for years, are unhappy with the move and are unsure what their rights are, or where to go next.

Waterfront property is public property up to the high water mark. Neither the property owner or the beach goers had a clear sense of what that meant, both saying it was a visual thing “where the sand colour changes.”

However, with changing seasons and water levels, the water mark does shift throughout the year.
