Looking for Nude Beach in New Jersey
No doubt it, Gunnison Beach is the place to go. This is coming from acouple who don't live in NJ and who only make an annual visit. The view of NYC is stunning. It's very clean, enough room to feel comfortable & the water is warm!. Most of all being tourist, we were treated very nicely by the regulars and met many friendly people.
It is a home-run!
I've been there twice. I'd say the atmosphere is better than Baker (San Francisco) or Black's (San Diego). Few gawkers, generally lots of friendly folks. I was (mildly) hit on in the restroom, but otherwise saw nobody bothering anybody else.
Sometimes the most obvious things are right in front of our eyes where we can't see it.....LOL....Gunnison beach is 2.5 miles of clothing optional beach, the largest CO/nude beach in the country! See Finnian, the rainbow ended right in your own back yard....LOL
That aside, it's a great place to go, and you'll find all kinds of nude and partially nude people there of all races, all ages, and from far distances too. We visit there a couple of times a year, and have a ball each time we go!
Having been a regular at Gunnison for several years, all I can confirm that it's a great fun place. Parking could be a problem on weekends during the Summer. There is a parking charge to enter, which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. (They close the booths at 4PM, so after that parking is free) You can buy a season's parking pass, which is a great discount. if you go more than 4-5 times per season. The parking lot for Gunnison is Lot G. (There are eight separate beaches at Sandy Hook, and Gunnison is the only C/O one. The area is run and policed by US Rangers, so do not speed, and do not do anything that could cause them to arrest you, and anything you might get ticketed for is a Federal Crime, and you will have to appear at a Military Court.
The beach itself is very large, and there is a defacto separation on it. The area to the South is for those who prefer their own sex. The rest of the beach is clothing optional for everyone else, EXCEPT for the far North side, which is a textile beach. There are a couple of life guard stands, plus the Rangers do patrol the beach. The beach can be quite windy at times. There are some gawkers who come in after 4 PM, plus some who walk the shoreline from other beaches in the Park. BUT, all in all, the people are fun and friendly. Most of the time during the Summer, there is a snack bar open on the beach.
This National Park is home to the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, and do try to set some time aside to visit it. It is well worth the visit.
I did forget to mention that there was a military base at the North end of "The Hook", and you may wander around the museum and the cannon emplacements. There is quite an interesting history to the base during the wars plus during the bootlegging days.
We are getting the TN gang together at Sandy Hook, Gunnison Beach, NJ. Saturday and Sunday June 27th and 28th. Look for the TN flag and Homer Simpson running Naked. Make sure to bring a friend and your birthday suit.
How to I.D. our fellow TN Friends/Members Friends of TN. As we all know there have been several discussions as of how to identify who belongs to TN while on a Naturist/Nudist setting, right?
