Maybe I already said this:I drive naked, especially when driving to and from a nude beach. Then it depends on the parking arrangements. Many nude beaches are reached via a textile beach. Then I do a flimsy wrap or just put my beach towel round myself. There are some beaches with direct access from car park to nude beach. Then nothing is required, or worn. Oh! I do admit to a hat, sandals and a back pack.
I assume you would also use the towel or wrap if the parking lot was across a busy road from the beach, as it is for me.
After a 2 hour plus ride in protective gear my shirt is normally damp to say the least - as i will want to wear it on return journey, i wear it on the10 minute stroll in the sun along the sand to air it out, more practical than aesthetic.
Makes sense to wear a shirt in that cases.
I had a friend in high school who would ride his motorcycle shirtless in short hip hugger shorts. Probably not a wise move.
Went to Gunnison today.
Reasonably good day. Beach and water were cooler than ideal, but reasonably good.
Light crowd.
Several men Donald Ducking because of the cool weather.
Saw someone taking several pictures at the sign using a selfie stick.
He then put on a pair of short shorts and nothing else for the walk back to the parking lot.
I was wearing a shirt in addition to my usual gym shorts and flip flops due to the chilly breeze.
Because the public parking lot is a good distance at Haulover Beach, I either my tan thru suit or a pair of shorts commando. Once I get to the sign "You may see nude sunbathers beyond this point" I dump the trunks or shorts, same when I leave I stay naked until I get to the sign
Compared to the other nude beaches we've visited, parking at Haulover is closest to the beach. We just wear regular stuff until we get to the nude part of the beach.
Mr. Southern,
Do you wear a shirt or just shorts?

Glad to see you wear the legal minimum. I do, but most men at Gunnison also wear shirts.
Speaking of the sign, do people at Haulover take a picture of themselves standing nude next to it?
That is fairly common at Gunnison]
On the few occasions when the parking lot actually has an open spot at Denny-Blaine Park, I will actually take off my clothes in my car or wear only a thong and walk directly to the lawn in my skimpy underwear or no clothes. It's fun to see other park attendants doing the same. Otherwise, if I have to park sufficiently far away, I will wear what I would normally wear during summer: shorts, tank top and flip-flops. When I leave, if the weather is hot enough, I will forego the tanktop and walk shirtless.

Why not only wear the tank top when it is too cool to be shirtless?

On my trip to Denny-Blaine Park I was fortunate enough to get a spot in the parking lot. I have to agree that there is not much park there, very little beach, and minimal parking. It was my first trip and not knowing much at the time, wore shorts, shirt, and sandals to the beach while carrying my blanket. On the way out, I picked everything up from the beach, walked to the grassy area and got dressed there. If I get the opportunity to go again, I'll take even less from the car to the beach, perhaps only the blanket since it is not illegal to be naked in Seattle parks.
