I'm involved with some work along the coast and was able to get to the beach last Friday and again today. Hot last Friday and quite a few people on the beach, mild today, hardly anyone there. Both days I was able to walk from one end of the beach to the other, the tide was out, its great to be able to walk naked for miles. Even walked all the way back to the stairs up to the carpark naked.

Any concerns if someone 'catches' you? I try not to give others an unpleasant unexpected surprise, but then again, some people give cues as to whether that may be concerned or not.
Walking north along this beach and around the point is all designated CO. Walking back to the carpark is textile but the beach was deserted. Only one woman was walking my direction and she had seen me earlier and smiled, she didn't seem bothered by my nudity, so I just walked on. I had shorts to put on if there were a group coming down the stairs through the bush to the beach but only one couple appeared so I kept my distance and they were not bothered either. Normalising nudity is the objective, not flashing or trying to shock or hassle.
At Sunnyside, I am happy to strip off before I reach the sign, as long as I am out of sight of those enjoying the textile section of the beach. Today there was regular foot traffic coming from the CO section (who could conceivably be walking through, even if the sand erosion makes it less likely) and I wasn't about to strip early with an audience, so almost made it to the sign before getting my opportunity.
Leaving is the opposite and I only decided to don the swimsuit as the textile bathers came in sight for the walk to the far end of the carpark where my car was.
A warm weekend meant that I was nude on my patio on Friday afternoon after work and then lots of time on both Saturday & Sunday, it was too hot for clothes, even my wife, a non-nudist, agreed. I could easily live in a better climate where winters are mild and some nude time is possible.
Yesterday was another sunny winters day, only around 12c but I was along the coast and stripped off to get some vitamin D. I know I don't need to be fully naked to get vitamin D, but lets face it, it's much more enjoyable to be naked. Had to be a little careful as it was not a designated CO beach, but a beach nudists have used for 50 years, most tend to use it in summer.
I'm nude in the sun nearly everyday. On vacations where we stay in hotels, we always stay at places where we can get a balcony room. We can get our naked outside time, even if it's cloudy or rainy and of course, when it's sunny!
I'm involved in an inside project right now. I'm repainting the guest bathroom BUT... I need to go get things from my work shed and since we live naked, I'm naked outside lots of times. It's currently in the mid 90's (33- 37C+). I can get up to 43+C ( 110 -115 F)in our valley in the middle of Summer. We've owned 3 homes in the Southern California and each of them had a pool. Almost can't live without one!

Ha! Once again, I think about it, you do it! I settled for a clothed walk around local streets rather than drive for a walk somewhere quieter. My excuse was not being able to spare the time, but maybe I'm not just brave enough!
Andy, your report has given me an earworm. "It never rains in southern California... " No chance of us Aussies getting across the Pacific with the current restrictions, though. We've reverted to a prisoners' island.
