Nude Beach Etiquette

I thought everyone might be interested in seeing what is posted at some of the beaches & on websites for the beaches in the northwest united states as proper moral guidelines to be followed when visiting such places.
The following is a list of standard guidelines for personal conduct at nude beaches. Your presence on the beach constitutes an implied acknowledgement & agreement to respect & abide by these guidelines & rules.
1)Sexual activity on nude beaches is illegal,offensive & inappropriate. If you experience an erection, keep it to yourself. Public displays of sexual arousal are inappropriate & unwelcome on nude beaches.
2)Gawking or staring is rude, & is quite conspicuous to others, despite the best attempts to hide it. Besides, it looks foolish.
3)Respect EVERYONE's right to privacy, & allow them their space. It's okay to be friendly, but be considerate & courteous as well.
4)Keep the noise down. No boisterous shouting or profanity.
5)If you wish to talk to children or minors on the beach, always introduce yourself to their parents & seek permission first.
6)Always ask for permission before taking anyone's pic.
7)Theft of other's property is a crime. Beachgoers watch out for each other & their belongings; if you are spotted committing an act of theft or other crime, you will be identified & reported.
8)Always place a towel or it's equivalent between you & any public surface.
9)Nudity is permitted only in designated areas. Always get dressed before leaving the clothing-optional area, including trips out to the parking lot.
10)Stay on trails. Keep out of vegetation, wildlife habitat & other environmentally sensitive areas.
11)Respect the beach, & help control litter. Always bring a trash bag for your own litter, & take out more than you brought in.
12)Help educate others, & support our beach community. Share these guidelines with others that may not be aware of them.
This beach has a large, active network of regular users, working closely with law enforcement agencies, to ensure the safety & security of everyone. ANYONE found to be creating an unsafe, uncomfortable or illegal situations WILL BE held accountable for their actions, and reported to the proper authorities as necessary.
