Have You Ever Been To A Nude Beach? (Pics Inside)

[arwalden]

Ha! I was just kidding about the pics... but I still want to know if you've ever been to a nude beach (or "clothing optional" beach/lake/etc.)

If not... would you ever?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Nope. People from Greenpeace would try to drag me back into the water

and then I'd get harpooned.

2. I've been to a nude swimming hole

but there were ten naked guys and two fully clothed females.

3. Yes...Hanlon's Point in Toronto.

It's a stretch of beach on Toronto Island. Doug and I went a couple of years back. It was fun. :-)

6. They have an annual New Years Day dip at Hanlon's.

It's clothing-optional, too, but after everyone jumps in the freezing water, it becomes "gender-indeterminate".

8. That would be a bit too exciting for me.

Chilly weather and all. :brrrr:

[CanuckAmok]

10. They're mad.

But never underestimate the value of retractable genitalia.

[terrya]

11. That makes sense.

I NEVER underestimate the value of retractable genitalia. Ever.

4. I would love to go to a nude beach.

Although I would have to lose about 75 pounds before I would be comfortable.

5. Nude beaches, nude campgrounds, nude swiming holes

etc.

Yup, fairly often back when I could get to them. It's not so easy now that I'm in NYC and walking with crutches.

7. Wreck Beach in Vancouver....

I've been twice, but I don't think I'll go back.

My friend Katie --who is very attractive-- sells tequila and rum shooters, nude, on the beach. They're $11.00 a shot, and she's usually sold-out by noon. That paid for her Masters degree!

9. Not something I'd choose to do

But if others want to, good on them!

12. Went to a resort last weekend

It was their annual open house when couples could stop by and see if they liked it. My spouse was reluctant but once she got there she was very comfortable, after realizing that nudists are just like everybody else; they're just not wearing clothes. She's very receptive to returning and we might camp there one weekend.

13. Yes.

I hate sand in my swimsuit.

[Duncan Grant]

14. There are more nude beaches here than you can shake a stick at.

San Francisco Bay Guardian Guide to Nude Beaches (Pics Inside - Really.)

There's a great nude beach in the Marin Headlands that has a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and SF. I've always known it as "Black Sand" beach. Surely I'm not the only Bay Area DUer whose been there. :7

21. Bolinas used to be a nude beach

back in the early '70s when I lived there. I was always too modest to go completely nude, but I always felt overdressed. :) I have amusing memories of the guys playing frisbee.

ed. I see that there's still some nude sunbathing on Bolinas beach but it says the locals disapprove. That's sure not how it used to be. It was all locals that were doing it. I guess times change.

[Jara sang]

15. I've been to a nude office building.

That was fun.

[saltpoint]

16. Sure. Why not? What's the harm?

[DrDan]

17. now I think you should head over to FreeRepub and post this and

see if you get the same responses over there

I somehow doubt it

[yvr girl]

18. Who needs a nude beach

I've tanned nude at a regular (if somewhat deserted) beach. It's been quite some time though.

[skygazer]

19. We often skinny dipped when I was a teenager

There were a lot of swimming holes in my neck of Vermont where people swam nude. It wasn't really a big deal. If you wanted to wear a suit, you did. If not, you didn't.

Vermont, land of the free.

20. Every Weekend

Canaveral Seashore in Florida. It's lots of fun except for the occasional gawking creep. Swimming is a little scary since it's one of the top shark bite locations in the world. :scared:

[DrDan]

22. you must be referring to

Playalinda

[Medium Baby Jesus]

23. Nope

There are two nude beaches in the park. I go to the one on the north side near New Smyrna.

[DrDan]

24. ok - know it well

I lived in NSB up until a year ago - road my bike to that last parking lot many many times

now in Port Orange
