Went to Gunnison yesterday and saw two men on the trail to the beach wearing only a g-string and one woman in a thong bikini.
While I believe in keeping the clothing on the trail to a minimum, I think this may have gone too far since thongs and g-string are generally not allowed in clothing required venues in NJ]

Does that mean you have to take them off (and go naked)?
When in Europe I saw identical signs in two places meaning opposite things. The signs said No Swimwear. On the nude beach it meant we had to be naked. In the shopping precinct it meant we had to wear MORE clothes.

No, in general at least the center of the rear must be covered or you will be asked to cover up or leave.
The only nude beach I've been to is Apollo Beach in New Smyrna, FL. It is in the Canaveral National Seashore which is a federal park. I read years ago on here where someone was ticketed for wearing a thong in the parking lot. I think it's against the rules to wear one in a federal park. Go figure. You can be nude in one location but can't wear a thong or g-string.
I may have said this pages back. I've been to so many nude beaches in Southern Europe - in Greece, France, Spain, The Canaries and Portugal. I've nearly always found the beach to be served by it's own car park (Maspalomas is an exception). The guide tells me if the entire beach is CO or if the bit nearest the car park is textile. I arrive naked in my hire car. If the entire beach is CO I just get out and walk onto the beach naked. If I have to walk through a textile part I put on a wrap. This is a light strip of cloth about 1 foot (30cm) wide, preferably see through, which I tie round my waist. Naturally I dress the same when leaving the beach. I had thought that someone following me up steps would see my bum under my wrap. But I was told they can see much more
I have only been to one CO beach where I could leave the car nude and walk to the beach, Del Torn near Tarragona Spain. Many places I wear a pareu with Tee or shirtless, other places just shorts (the climb up from Black's in a pareu isn't that comfortable). But even though I wear thongs on beaches where it's allowed, I wouldn't wear one on a trail from parking to a nude beach.
Saw a young man at Gunnison yesterday walking back to the parking lot wearing only a string side tanga. That's about as minimal as you can get since the parking lot is a long way from the clothing optional area.
Went to Gunnison yesterday and saw a higher proportion of men going between the beach and parking lot shirtles than I usually do.
