Unfortunately, there are no beaches within a 1,000 miles of where I live.My preference would be to arrive and leave nude. But many beaches that allow nudity are not situated such that doing so would be legal.
May be some when you move to Oregon.

Ollygrumps suggested a sarong worn as a toga. Tie two corners together, sling it over your shoulder, and you're covered. More or less. One side is open from your shoulder down and may be susceptible to the prevailing breeze. I want to try it and head from the (textile) carpark with just the sarong instead of a swimsuit and beach towel. I may have to choose the shoulder based on the wind direction.

If you tie the towel securely, that might provide enough cover.
I have seen a few men wrap a towel around their waist and head for the parking lot a the nude beach I go to, with no evidence of having any clothing in their possession.
Can't make the trip nude because the lot is across the main park road from the beach.

for me, shorts and a tee, or , I usually wear a pair of shorts and tea shirt.

Seems like my beach is not the only one where men wearing shirts coming and going outnumber those who do not.

A towel is all you need to ware. Drinks & nibblies would be preferred carry-along with maybe beach cabana. Do Not take a boombox, as listening to the waves is priceless.

I, too, prefer the sounds of the beach with the waves, birdlife and perhaps the sounds of others chatting. W even if the music is to my liking, I'm happier to hear it elsewhere!

I have considered wearing just a towel, but worry about what would happen if if fell off in view of the busy road I have to cross to get from the parking lot to the beach.

The odd time I have wrapped a towel around me, it's tended to want to fall away in short order, so I end up holding it lest it fall and leave me with no easy recovery! Even the toga idea is safer! Perhaps less safer than a skirt on a windy day, but recovery should still be possible if necessary!

Can confirm, the sarong-as-a-toga option is doable, but it is very susceptible to even the lightest breeze. Wore it from the carpark and an now using it as a towel. True minimalism! Otherwise I only have my hat, keys & phone. As mentioned, a small breeze makes it easy to be 'seen' unless holding the hem. It's very easy to remove when the time comes, though.
