If you would like to go to nude beach that is not, then you could go the Canaveral National Seashore in Florida. Its not exactly a nude beach but the NPS does not really care if you disrobe. To get there you must go the area that is accessed by going thru the Merritt Island NWR. Go the the last parking area and walk a bit to the north, you will be aware when you get there. Oh by the way the seashore is a natural one nothing fancy, same as the people.

All I can say is - I don't want to sit down where a (or many) nude people sat! Hot weather would be worse...just think about scooting in and out of chairs/seats. Yuck!!!

That Texas place Wayne mentioned back in May--it wouldn't be in Crawford, would it? Puts a whole new spin on The Bushies.

Aileen--sand in our schlitz???!!!

bip,

<All I can say is - I don't want to sit down where a (or many) nude people sat!>

That's why nudists always carry a towel with them. A nudist would never sit bare on a chair.

Hygeine is just as important to nudists as it is to you.

One of my favorite sites from a vacation in St Martin was an elderly couple strolling the beach hand-in-hand (Orient Beach -- not the co stretch though) They were both very thin, very tan, wore straw hats, and bright green matching string bikini bottoms. I was so impressed -- really they must have been in their 80s -- that I failed to get a picture of them from behind. OH how I wish I had done so. To be so relaxed and happy in their skin at that age. Don't know if DH and I could/would ever pull anything like that off 30 years from now, but I sure admired their confidence and style.

I assume they were French.

I went to the nude beach in Miami called Hallover Beach. I walked up to the concession stan (nude) to get a bottle of water. In front of me was a person with a beautiful dark light hair weave. As they turned around I though, "nice breasts." When I looked down, I realized, it was a guy.

I'm serious!

Calinurse,

Pretty funny...but it wasn't me.

But who knows, some of us may have seen each other nude at beach and not even realized it.

Dick, LOL! So true.
When first reading the thread-starter query/OP from Tinathetoad, I thought it said "...makes for easy puking." Being quite self-conscious, I've always feared that would be the general response to me at a nudist bach!

Cali,

No need to worry...the people on nude beaches seem to be a real cross-section.....like if you took a random group from your local mall.

If anything, nude beaches seem to get a more educated , more coupled group.....and nude beaches tend to be clean and litter free...just think no sand in a bathing suit as a bonus.

Incidentally, my wife prefers nude beaches...she doesn't like the inequality of topless beaches.

I think it would be advisable to be wary of jellyfish if you swim in the nude.

Dick, I like the way your wife thinks!!
Shane, this might be "out of bounds" of decency so forgive me, but about those jellyfish during a nude swim--you might encounter too many pricks!

Cali,

Many times it's the guy that convinces the women to try going nude at a beach....but then it's the women that wants to keep going.

Dick, shows what we women are really like! You're a lucky man with a cool wife!
Wsoxrebel, did you ever find out if the boat-tipping story is an "urban legend"??

I just typed in 'austin hippie hollow capsize' into my favorite search engine and confirmed that the boat capsizing in Hippie Hollow is no urban legend - pretty funny stuff to read too

Cali, meat tenderizer works best on jellyfish stings. Of course, it is important for the applicator of the tenderizer to have a sensitive and tender touch to alleviate the agony of the afflicted anatomy.
