Today, 8/27
Weather was not ideal, but not terrible either. cloudy, low 70's light wind. Only shallow wading allowed because of rip currents.
Walked to and from the parking lot in just a Kiniki tan through bikini, and drove both ways "dressed" the same way.
Did see a younger (and thinner) man who outdid me in the minimal clothing to the parking lot category. He was walking back a little ahead of me in a string side narrow front at back suit. I saw him rinse off an go into the changing area. I needed to use the rest room. We came out at about the same time and he was wearing a different tanga apparently for the ride home! That's as minimal as you can get since the parking lot is a long way from the clothing optional area.
Went yesterday. Had a great time. Good weather, warm water, people on the beach but not crowded. Happened to set up near a very outgoing younger woman and her male friend. She introduced herself to most of the people in our area so we all chatted off and on. Her friend had never been to a nude beach before and he had his shorts on and off at times. For some reason there were several people nude on the clothing required side of the beach. The clothing required sign on the way back to the parking lot was missing, but nobody I saw assumed that it meant that we could walk back nude, which I am sure was not the case. Did see a higher proportion of men going between the beach and parking lot shirtless, like I always do.
I sometimes wonder how some people, mostly men, have such dark, perfectly even tans.Looks like they never wear clothes outdoors.
I'm jealous of people like that who often seem to have olive toned skin. I'm pigmentally deprived and a friend once bragged he could get more tan than me sitting in the shade. I took him up on the challenge and at the end of the day I was pink from the sun and he was brown from the shade. But I make up for it at night by being so pale that I glow in the dark and don't need a flashlight.
