Beach Travel: Don't Know What You've Got Till Its Gone

August 22, 2008 at 11:30 AM | 0 Comments

One particular stretch of sand at San Onofre State Beach, outside of San Clemente, California, has a clothing optional policy--though swimming au naturel is technically illegal. Until now, the law would only be enforced if someone were to have a problem with naked bathers.

Well, according to an editorial in today's edition of the LA Times, some people have started to complain: the park rangers. Apparently, they just don't have time to patrol the area known as Trail 6, where beach goers roam free. But nudity there, it seems, has gotten a little too frisky, and there have been some reports of public sex in the park.

Recently, a judge ruled in favor of the clothing optional individuals, though all that was decided was that they can continue to frolic through the fall. (The parks service can still change the official policy at any time.) Long story short, if you get your kicks from going to the beach in your birthday suit, time may be running out!
