Haulover Beach, Miami, Florida.
That's the location that confirmed my sister as a nudist. They rent umbrellas as well as sell them for the beach. You might do better by bringing your own. Also wear sandals/flip flops as the sand gets hot. They do have concession stands for food. Bring a sun hat and apply sunscreen a half hour before getting there as well as every hour or more often if this is your first venture into nudism.

Any good hotels within easy walking distance of Haulover? We went for the first time New Year's Eve and had a great time. It was my partner's first time at a nude beach and he was naked part of the time! LOL We would like to see what the weather is like in the summer in anticipation of retirement so I thought a long weekend near the nude beach would be great. Places to stay?
If you visit South FL Free Beaches' website (www.sffb.com) it will give you lots of information.
Haulover Beach is on our must see list. From the photos we've seen, it looks like a great beach. One of the greatest pluses about this beach is the reported access. From reports that I have read, the access is basicily a level, unobstructed walk all the way. Can't say that for Californian or Hawaiian beaches.
Haulover is a "must" at some point for nudists, but a bit over-rated at the end of the day. I'd go whenever the chance came along, but I prefer Playalinda in FL. Long nude walks with no gawkers, peace and quiet. You can walk a mile north from the end of thtrail leading to the beach in the nude. If you love nudity, long tranquil walks like that while completely naked are wonderful.
