Harder to Be Daring

Many years ago I found a secluded beach on Key Biscayne off Miami, Florida. It was an extension of a popular, beautiful textile beach. The nude portion was way beyond the clothed beach and not widely known as frequented by nudists.

The two easiest ways to get to the nude portion was either walking along the beach from the clothed section or walking from the regular parking lot, parallel to the beach, on the dirt path fire access road. I usually walked the fire road since it was an easier walk than on the beach sand. Another benefit of the fire road was once you rounded a bend you were no longer visible to anyone in the parking lot, only to those further down the road. This was not a road frequented by many people; usually only those going to or coming from the hidden nude beach. Often, after rounding the bend, I would remove what little clothing I was wearing and walk naked the rest of the way.

One time though, while nude, I saw a clothed couple walking towards me, after they had rounded a bend up ahead. They were not dressed like they were coming from the nude beach. They looked like tourists from the Midwest, with heavy and inappropriate clothing for the beach. I was in a quandary as what to do. They were 100 yards or so away, they looked to be about 30 years old, and they could clearly see I was naked. It seemed if I put on my shorts I would be admitting I was guilty of something. At the same time, they were walking only a short distance away from other nude people. Maybe they had already seen them.

I decided to remain nude and not buckle to the social guilt I was supposed to feel. After all, they were adults and both should have seen a naked male. As we passed each other, one of them made a snide comment to the other about what they had just witnessed.

My point in sharing this daring experience is I felt safe in there wasnt much the couple could do about having seen me nude. If they had reported me and taken the trouble to try find me on the beach it would have been their word against mine. But this happened before cell phones with cameras. These days, if such a incident presented itself, I would put on shorts before they would be able to take a photo.
