A little clarification up front -- I'm a 53yo male, not in bad shape (no beer gut, ok muscle tone, working on making it better) -- not a creeper or an exhibitionist. I simply love the beach and don't like to wear clothes if I don't have to. I don't care if anyone sees me naked, but I also don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable. I went to a beach with a C/O area for the first time this week, midweek in the late morning. It was cool and with the exception of a couple of people laying on their towels at upper edge of the beach by a bluff, everyone on the beach was clothed, but I knew nudity was accepted and common here. I shed my clothes and sat back on my towel for a bit to check out the environment. Shortly, a couple of girls (late teens, maybe) and their mom walked by -- all clothed (jeans, pullover sweatshirts) -- and asked if I knew where a set of nearby stairs led. I answered, they thanked me and went on their way without batting an eye. I decided to take the plunge and walk the 200-300 feet to the surf. Walking along the surf is one of my favorite things anyway, just have never done it naked. I spent the next hour or so walking up and down the beach, stopping to watch the ocean, look at the birds, check out jelly fish that had washed up. I passed people of all ages -- individuals, couples, joggers, walkers, people with their dogs -- no reaction at all, just like passing people on the street. This was my first experience being naked in a truly public setting and it suddenly occurred to me that I was quite literally the only naked person walking around on the beach amid a decent number of clothed folk and it was perfectly ok and accepted. It was exhilarating and liberating -- a really wonderful experience. I can't recommend it enough. Once you realize that you're not being stared at and nobody is shocked, you can simply relax and enjoy the feeling of not being draped in fabric.

I'll pass on that. Its normally loaded with people you don't want to see naked anyway. :D
I have and would again. However, I've never gone nude hahahaha. I've been with my boyfriend and his mate, and they both got naked, and I went to various ones in Europe with my two best friends and they got topless, but I'm a prude! I feel uncomfortable being nude in public. I went skinny dipping the other day with my bf because we were completely alone at a secluded beach, and someone came down the cliff thing. I almost had a heart attack. lol
Only if I get to keep my swuimwear on. But even then, I'm not so sure I want to see everything flailing about.

Nope, simply because most of the people who frequent those places are not ones you really want to see naked.

I might go, but in all fairness I wouldn't feel comfortable being naked around a bunch of strangers, besides I am not of the impression that anybody else would really want to see me naked, and even if I were in better shape, I still don't think I'm all that and a bag of chips. Granted as I understand it the whole nudity thing isn't really all about that, but still I wouldn't feel comfortable presuming that they would find me appealing, and no I'm not trying to make this about me, I'm just not of the belief that my middle aged, overweight fish belly white body is something other people would look at and say "wow that is a pleasure to look at" ;-)
I enjoy swimming naked but not with other people around. I'm not ugly but I be very self conscious of myself. I've gone swimming naked with my girl in high school and my buddy and his girl. We were close friends then so we didn't care but I don't think if do it now lol
The rule of thumb is, 99% of the people willing to go nude in public will be people you'd pay to wear clothing.
I would go but not alone I would definitely have my gym crew with me anyplace that involves no shirt on were there (joking)( we don't steroid) but i don't think i would go naked i would leave my boxers on that far as i go. Not because im self conscious i'd feel like as if i were bragging walking around naked
No, I really don't want to see all that nakedness. Plus there's lots of little creatures at the beach that I'd prefer not exposing myself to.
I've been, they were all about 80 years old. wrinkled balls and droopy swingers left and right. I'll never go again and have never
So you'd go to a nude beach, but you wouldn't go to a beach nude? You must be some sorta peeper!
I've been to a nude swimming area on a river, in mixed company. So yeah, I'd go to a nude beach. When everybody is naked, it's almost like nobody's naked. It's a really relaxing, accepting environment to be in.
Fuck no, I guarantee you 98% of the nudist beaches are full of overweight, old people.
I've been told only fat people go there but if thats a lie then id maybe go. Im not so sure if id go naked. Not because im self conscious but it hurts when i get sun burn on my back! Can you imagine down there?
No, just due to the sheer grossness of naked people.
na im not comfortable with my body enough. tbh, even if i was, id only tan nude where there isn't anyone around=/
id go. but id go nude only if i see someone as young as me and fatter than me strip off.
I've been to some beach of that kind but only when i have some friends with me :)
I wouldn't go there aloneNope! I'm not into seeing other people naked, nor do I enjoy being naked in public.
No. Nudist beaches are usually full of old men and women.
I will wear a thong juz incase gurls around meh might jump on meh
I wouldn't go to a nude beach unless I'm willing to get nude myself. And I'm willing to do it
I prefer strip clubs since the only people who get naked are the ones you actually want to see and staring is not considered rude.
Haha no, I don't think I would go.
