San Onofre State Beach to stop allowing nudity

[begin_within]

"Starting Monday, state park rangers will start “educating” the clothing-optional crowd at the San Onofre State Beach spot known as Trail 6. After Labor Day, they'll be ticketed."

1. It might just be me but there's a nuclear plant right near by

and I wouldn't be nude in that area. It just seems odd.

3. Well, it is a very long beach, and

the nuclear plant is at the far north end. The nude part is at the south end, just before Camp Pendleton. In fact there's no boundary between the state beach and Camp Pendleton's beach. It's kind of a well-known place for Marines to hang out. I've been to that beach a few times and I thought it was the most pristine, unspoiled beach in southern California, even with some driftwood around. It has a feeling of how all southern California beaches must have been about 100 years ago. That's the appeal of it for me. It is kind of a long drive and then a walk down the trails to the beach, so it's not a place that huge crowds go to.

4. Yeah for that reason I hope Camp Pendleton never leaves

If the base ever left imagine the rush for development, in twenty years there'd at least be 200,000 people that would move into the area if not a whole lot more.

5. Good point...

The existence of Camp Pendleton has essentially "saved" that area, as the last major piece of undeveloped land on the California coast between Santa Barbara and the Mexican border.

2. Hey, I've been to Black's Beach.

Saw naked people. Huh huh huh!
