Pacific Rim National Park occupies a couple of coastal areas on Vancouver Island. The expansive Long Beach Unit (LBU) of the park lies about 300 kilometers northwest of Victoria, and the nearest town is Tofino, which lies just north of the LBU's boundary. Although the LBU is the most easily accessible and visited part of the park, there are still many miles of uninterrupted sandy beaches, many stretches of which are deserted, and there are ample opportunities for discreet nudity.

At the southern end of the LBU lies Florencia Bay, which has a beach that stretches over 5 kilometers. Nude bathing may be practiced with discretion on any part of this beach sufficiently away from textiles. The far north end is where you are most likely to find nude bathers, but attendance is sporadic. Although Florenica is mostly deserted, it is still a good idea to suit up if you see textiles or park rangers.

Florencia Bay is accessed via the same turnoff from Highway 4 that goes to Wickanninish Beach (Wick Beach for short), a popular attraction of the park (but you'll turn left before reaching Wick Beach).

This website is a good orientation to the layout of the park.
