Paradise Beach (Bare-Ass Beach)

Paradise Beach — locally known as 'Bare-Ass Beach' — is a clothing-optional beach on the South Saskatchewan River roughly 20 km south of Saskatoon. It is a long-standing naturist and gay-frequented river beach reached by a short walk from the parking area. It is informal and unserviced (no lifeguard or facilities), and can get busy and littered on hot summer weekends. Access is by dirt track and the shoreline shifts with river levels. Bring water and pack out what you bring in; same-sex affection is legal and generally accepted in Canada.
