List of social nudity places in North America

In the populated areas, particularly the Lower Mainland, Greater Victoria, and the Okanagan, nudity is generally practiced only in certain established or isolated locations (usually beaches) and on private properties.

There are no officially recognized nude beaches in the province, but there are places that have secluded areas where nudity is accepted.

While public nudity is not legally accepted, it is tolerated at resorts and private places if practiced discreetly.

[70] Additional and up-to-date information on public and private locations may be obtained on the web sites of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR)[74] and The Naturist Society (TNS).

Due to a 1992 Court of Appeals ruling (People v. Santorelli et al.), women may be topless anywhere in the state of New York for non-commercial purposes.

(A concurring minority opinion reached the constitutional, i.e., equal rights issue, but the majority decision did not.)

[261] Public nudity is generally legal in Oregon, unless it is part of a commercial venture or intended to induce sexual excitement.

Some parts of Oregon (including Portland, Eugene, Ashland and Happy Valley) have local laws prohibiting public nudity.

However, Oregon law defines nudity as displaying genitals, hence both men and women are allowed to be topfree in public throughout the state.
