Wreck Beach is a hot spot in the city during the summer, but it's now a hot spot of a different kind since it's the site of potential COVID-19 exposure in Vancouver.

According to Vancouver Coastal Health, the nudist-friendly Wreck Beach had an exposure event on Saturday, August 15 — anyone who visited during that time should self-monitor for symptoms, they said.
