Beach Nudists.
Tell the group what nude beach you go to, where the location is, how often do you go, and what you like and don't like about it. Or tell us whatever the hell is on your mind lol. I put this group together to find out what beaches around the world are fun to go to in case people are traveling and wondering what a particular beach is like.

Introducing yourself at the beach
Return to DiscussionsI go to my nude beach more by myself than with my wife. She will go but isn't ready to go nude yet. I would like to start meeting people when there by myself. I think if people wave and say hi as they go by to find their spot, it might help her feel more comfortable. Now as to meeting people as a married guy that is by himself at the beach. I was thinking about putting up a small sign letting people know I would like some beach friends. I think this might be more inviting than going up to people who may not want to be bothered with introductions from an unknown guy. What do you think of this idea?
i'm with halfof, either kinda creepy or desperate what you may try to do is form a group here for that particular beach and than if you have true interest from others here maybe than post a sign - example: Jones Beach truenudist group meetup all welcome. but i've chatted with quite a few at the beach but i can't say that they became regular friends either and i'm taking that's what your striving for.
Before it was closed this year by the Wisconsin DNR (or I should say the wonderful governor,but thats a whole different topic) I would frequent Mazo beach on the Wisconsin river. I don't think you could find a more friendly group of beach goers in the States. I could walk up to most anyone and start a conversation and almost always get a positive response. On the rare occasion someone didn't want to talk most would just say they were sorry, but not to offend, they would rather just sit by themselves. No one was ever angry or upset and I would just say OK, thats cool, maybe at a later time and leave. I don't really know about the sign, might drive away more than it would attract. It is a very unusual tactic.
Perhaps a sign that has the TN banner, or of an affiliation to which you belong, such as AANR. "TN here...say hi". That would get the attention of likely friendly persons, who may already have other friends there, and the connections can grow. Also, you can message people here as to plans to be at the beach and where. Then if you get response here, exchange messages to solidify the meeting.

We wouldn't do that anywhere else - a bar, cafe. ...
Any sign saying Lonely man looking to chat will get a poor
response in any venue, nudist or textile.
I have chatted to others on a nudist beach when something has
cropped up to chat about. I had a friend who could start a
conversation with anyone. I think he started with Where are you
from? Are you here for long?... I don't have that
talent. We all know how difficult it is to take a photo of
ourselves without getting other nudists in the background. I've
taken a photo of my friend and he has taken mine. Then we have
asked someone to take one of both of us. It can be a useful opener.
Or you can set up an activity like body painting. I've attracted
attention by doing naked rock-climbing. I did hear of someone who
offered a free cold beer to anyone who stripped off. His intention
was to encourage others to join the nudists but he probably got
talking to a few over that beer.
I like to greet other nudists as I walk the beach; just being neighborly. However; for the most part other nudists stop to say something to me because of my body piercing. It usually elicits a comment which is fine by me, and also leads to a chat amongst nudists.
Some guy came up to me at Black's. He started by commenting on a hat I was wearing andwas making a connection on what I did and what he did, for a living. He then wanted totalk to meabout some creepy guy that had been walking up and down the beach gawking at people. "I just come down here to have a good day and all these creeps gawking at people really piss me off". As we stood there he couldn't focus on talking to me but kept averting his eye contact with me and kept looking at my wife sitting naked in her chair. I moved to have him reposition himself, he stayed facing the same way so he could glance over at my wife. Finally, my wife had enough and covered herself with her sarong and the conversation ended. So much for ... " I just come down here ... these creeps really piss me off!" Him included!
These incidents are so unfortunate at our nude beaches in the states. As I have noticed over the years, these occurances don't happen as often at nude beaches in Europe and the Carribean. This is why my wife often doesn't go to the beach with me or will stay covered. When she does go with me, we usually go to a fairly isolated area if possible. Even when we are sitting in a mostly gay area of one of the nude beaches I frequent which has always had somewhat segregated areas, the site of a nude and comfortable female seems to attract unsollicited comments and prolonged views. I wish me and my wife could go to the beach and socially enjoy the company of others without the annoying gawkers and pervs.
think it's a great idea, we'd stop over :)
When we were at Haulover in April, we had many conversations with quite a few. Many had simple games like horseshoe and frizby and asked others to join them. Quite a few had umbrellas with names of clubs and we talked to many of them about the clubs or restaurants.
I, too, often wonder if others at the beach are TN members, maybe even a "friend" here. On occasion, I may recognize someone that I have seen on TN, and I do not hesitate to introduce myself. I like the idea of a TN banner of some sort; that would make it much easier!
