10: Top Voyeur Nude Beaches

(public voyeur clothing optional nudes) for 2004  (North America)

  1. Little Beach, NUDE BEACH [Directions] The fact of the matter is that Little Beach will always be Dr. Leisure's personal choice as the number one clothing optional beach in the world. You just cannot beat the ambiance of Little Beach. Nice sand. Human scale. Year round weather. The reasons are numerous. Ultimately it is the people from around the world that come here to pay omage to the demigod Maui who captured the sun. Maui forced the sun to pass overhead slower so that humankind could enjoy the benefits. Hawaiian legend has it that Maui was born on Little Beach.
  2. Haulover Beach, City of Miami Beach, Florida [Directions] Under the jurisdiction of the Dade Country Recreation Department this has to be the number one clothing optional beach on the mainland (Hawaiian way of referring to continental states.)  Ease of access (parking lot across the street), proximity to accommodations, presence of lifeguards all contribute to making this the number one clothing optional beach in the USA.
  3. Mazo Beach (on Wisconsin River),[Directions] in the Mazomanie State Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin.
  4. Wreck Beach, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada [Directions] Another sanctioned clothing optional beach under the auspices of Greater Vancouver Regional Authority. An incredible beach to experience. The main shortcoming is the short season related to its geographic position.
  5. Rooster Rock State Park, Portland, Oregon [Directions] Probably the first state park to formally acknowledge and accommodate the nude user. To Dr. Nude's knowledge they are the source of the sign language now associated with clothing optional beaches around the country. "Attention, beyond this point you may encounter nude sunbathers"  ( Dr. Leisure's business card is this slogan on a refrigerator magnet and can be obtained by sending a $1 and a self addressed envelop to  Box 1137, Kihei, HI 96753.)
  6. Sandy Hook, Gateway National Recreation Area, New Jersey [Directions] Part of a National Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service this facility operates in sharp contrast to the what is happening in Hawaii at Kaloko-Honokohau Beach also administered by the National Park Service.
  7. San Onofre State Beach, above San Diego, California [Directions]
  8. Young Gardens Nude Kids and Family & Pool (Family FKK Nude Resort)
  9. Red, White and Blue Beach, California [Directions]
  10. Sauvie Island, Oregon  [Directions] (north end managed by Dept. of Fish and Wildlife)
  11. Blacks Beach, San Diego, California [Directions]

    SOME OBSERVATIONS REGARDING "CLOSED" VOYEUR NUDE TEEN BEACHES BY Dr. Nude

    Over the years Dr. Nude has studied a lot of nude beaches. The legal status of nude use seems to change from place to place and from time to time. Clearly the trend is for acceptance of this rather fundamental human condition, i.e. to be natural in our natural world.

    Nevertheless, it is still possible to encounter the beach traditionally used for nude use that is considered closed by law to that use. What I have found is that a local contingent usually continues the practice of nude use regardless of potential legal consequences. And in general the number of arrest (if any) is very few.

    What Dr. Nude is saying is that nude use continues on the nude beaches which he has indicated are closed above. Use of these facilities is at your own risk. However, for the more adventurist nudist or naturist there is something exhilerating to the idea that the uniformed park ranger moving down the beach is not there to help interpret the beach but rather to arrest you for breaking the law if he or she has a mind to. So be cautious and aware. Be courteous and comply with any request from a park official. Be prepared to come up with the $100 or so that might be required for bail or fine.

    If you don't have the stomach for this sort of adventure then by all means stay with the acknowledged and accepted clothing optional beaches. Put your money into the local economy while at the same time benefiting from feeding your face or the comforts of a nice resort.

    On the other hand, if you enjoy controversy and a little excitement....   Go for it! There are countless potential nude beaches waiting to be liberated!

1) Why are you encouraging women to take their tops off in public?
We are not doing any such thing. We believe women have the same rights as men. Those who wish not to remove tops should keep them on--by choice.

2) Isn't it illegal for women to go topfree?
This activity is legal for women and men. A high court decision from December 1996 makes it clear that women and men xxx pussy dvd video Family/Kids Pageant Videos videos doing so with no "sexual or commerical" intent are not indecent.

3) Is it legal for women to be topfree everywhere, then?
No, because there are places where it is illegal for both women and men to be topfree, e.g. where regulations require tops as well as other articles of clothing. This is completely consistent with assuring women rights equal to those of men.

4) Doesn't the Bible forbid this kind of activity?
We don't think so, nor do many others who are deeply religious. But this is not a religious issue. The laws in this country are not made according to certain avowed Jewish or Christian preferences, whatever their source, but to protect a variety of beliefs.

5) Aren't women's breasts sexual?
It's up to women to decide when and where they are or aren't sexual. Everyone can respect a woman's or man's decision to lie on a beach and not be bothered, whether she or he has a top on or not. It is unconscionable to restrict women because men have some opinion about them or their breasts. Men aren't required to wear tops because women find their uncovered chests sexual, so the reverse should not be required either.

6) Isn't this a morals issue?
It's an issue of rights more than morals. Those claiming that all topfree women are morally wrong do not usually give any reason except personal preference. The law must be applied equally to women and men and ignore such personal claims.

7) Aren't topfree women just walking pornography?
No. Are topfree men? The automatic connection between women's breasts and sexual activity is one which is often made. The media reinforce it. We can and should reject it. We may choose to be nonsexual when changing clothes, taking a shower, lying on the grass, strolling down a street, etc. What we wear does not have to be relevant to the sexuality of a situation. There may indeed be more flirting in complete outfits than in topfree attire.

8) Don't women's clothes incite men to do certain things?
A woman or man may wear clothes for many purposes, including to be noticed. Nothing anyone wears or doesn't wear is an invitation to harassment or assault. It's not a woman's task to prevent a man from harassing her--by wearing clothes men deem suitable on her! Women who wish to enjoy the same topfreedom as men are therefore not "asking for it."

9) Won't topfree women increase sex crimes?
Experience in Europe and elsewhere shows that the answer is No. Sociologists from various places have stated that there is no connection. This is true partly because women and men almost always remove tops only when they think it is safe to do so.

10) What will children will see and do?
Children are not harmed by seeing breasts but by adults' phobias about them. The breasts themselves are doing nothing, except perhaps providing a lesson in body education. Adults should refrain from passing their irrational fright, intolerance, or hatred on to children. Bigotry is not a family value. Far better to explain that topfree women are just doing whatever others, including topfree men or fully clothed people, are doing (walking, sunning, swimming, etc.).

11) Won't there be topfree women everywhere?
No, this will not happen. Women and men can determine for themselves where it is appropriate to be without a top, according to the social context. Most will choose to keep their tops on: that has been the case elsewhere, notably in New York State, where this matter was resolved similarly by an Appeal Court in 1992. But if a majority of women and men keep tops on, this does not warrant criminalizing those who choose not to. A majority must not remove a minority's rights just because that group doesn't conform to some other group's wishes. Issues of religious intolerance have surely taught us that.

12) Aren't topfree women, and men for that matter, ugly?
Perceived superficial qualities are not a cause for legal action. This question disguises a fear of anything different from a very narrow set of expectations and reveals an unhealthy lack of body acceptance.

13) How will recreation staff treat the matter?
They are trained now to handle the public in a variety of situations. Little further training is necessary. They may wish to counsel those complaining about topfree women or men that such people are harmless.

Miami Nude Beach Nudity, Please Read!

There's something liberating about the antic of being naked.  The freedom.  The exhilaration.  The lack of pocket lint.  Unfortunately, for most people the notion of nudity requires some rationale - no matter how silly that rationale may be.  Streaking across a football field. Skinny-dipping in a lake.  Mooning for the camera.  Photocopying your butt.  Playing naked Twister.  Flashing a nun after sixth-period class, hoping she didn't recognize you and isn't at this instant phoning your parents.  For most people, it's all about the naughty thrill of getting caught or exposing a private part.  But not for all.  No, for many it's perfectly routine, as normal and natural as, say, kissing hands or shaking a baby.

Nude beaches are the perfect denominators for these two groups, the puritans and the pure exhibitionists, the fakirs and the non-fakers. Think of it as a big game of strip poker where everybody has crappy hands.  The thing to remember is that nude sunbathing isn't about sex or exhibitionism - we'll leave that to the nudist colonies and Courtney Love.  Nude sunbathing is about elation and free-spiritedness (and avoiding wedgies and ugly tan lines).

I've made the trek to No Clothes Land many a time.  I've dropped trou in Europe, where it's no big deal - heck, even the Royal Family has displayed a boob or two (not counting Prince Charles).  Black's Beach in San Diego is world famous for nude sun worshipping.  And, of course, here in Miami, we have Haulover Beach.

One of the misconceptions about nudity is that every human body is beautiful (Right).  The key to inoffensive nude sunbathing is to do just that - sunbathe.  Do not play volleyball in the buff.  No grilling or barbecuing.  Even if your Playgirl's Mr. January, do not perform an oil and air filter change on your auto while naked.  An watch the jogging - you could poke somebody's eye out.

Nude beachgoers often have their social cliques and routines.  They picnic and fraternize, and they love to mingle.  Zoiks.  These people who sashay up and down the beach wearing nothing but a smile and a spare tire are the same folks you find in the receiving line at a wedding wielding a business card and a can of Binaca.

When I venture to Haulover, I stick close to my blanket or hit the water.  I don’t wander about.  It’s like you want to work the room, but there’s no place to put your hands and no appropriate place to hang your Walkman.  (Plus, you feel like you’ve gone to a party and everyone’s wearing the same thing.)  Personally, I happen to like being naked. It’s never bothered me.  I often get home from work, disrobe, and sit naked on my couch eating cereal.  (Did I just cross the line of too much information?)  Some people are uncomfortable naked.  I’m not.  What I do have a problem with, however, is being ugly and naked.  Statistics show that the number of people who enjoy nude sunbathing is proportionate to those who should put something on.  Like a tarp.  Or one of those tents that they use when they’re debugging a house.  That one of the reasons why I prefer the sanctity of my blanket.  I can feign sleep (or death, if necessary) should some naked old man approach me and start to discuss today’s undertow as he squats liberally in front of me.

Sunscreen:  I’d be remiss if I didn’t stress the importance of proper protection.  Those regions that rarely see the light of day are the first to succumb to the sun’s deadly rays.  Hence, watch your behind, or your buns will be toast.  As for – how do I say this politely – garnishing your weenie, yes, your little buddy needs sunblock, but remember, you’re in public.  There a fine line between safety and pleasure when applying lotion to Mr. Happy.  I’ve seen guys go at it like they’re greasing a fire pole.  So take it easy.  Don't make things hard on yourself.

When it comes to accessories, there are certain things you should and should not bring to a nude beach.  Telescopes and binoculars are definite no-nos.  You may think of this as a ball game, but I’m sure the Red Sox would beg to differ.  Likewise with a camcorder – carrying a video camera at a nude beach is the pervert’s equivalent of driving by a schoolyard with a van full of candy.  As for ready, avoid books with titles like Justice of the Piece.  Stick to Field and Stream, Reader’s Digest or the Gideon Bible.  Sunglasses are a must.  If you’re gonna ogle, at least do it behind your Maui Jims.

As for your random beach bump-ins, there are obvious encounters. Besides bodies that you’d rather not see naked, piercings are immensely popular.  Popular, I surmise, because they’re in places that wouldn’t necessarily be exposed at Publix (unless you shop at the new one by the bay).  I’ve seen nipples that look like parachute rip cords.

And below the belt, I’ve seen piercings that made me recoil.  (Come to think of it, I’ve seen coils down there, too.)  And little napkin rings.  And something called a Prince Albert.  I’ve seen less metal at a gun show.  And shaving.  Hmmmm.  Apparently trimming the hedges has become all the rage.  Some folks go for the close cropping; others like it smooth.  I haven’t seen topiary this creative since I was at the Botanical Gardens.

Nude sunbathing can be a kick, an exciting way to liven up an otherwise dull day at the beach.  For the ladies, it means being able to wear a sundress without worrying about unsightly strap lines.  For the guys, it means there’s no need to adjust the boys: it’s a wind sock now.  For all of us it means an escape, a break from our daily worries and cares, a moment’s freedom where less is so much more – except when it comes to that sunscreen.
