Nude Among Textiles at a Clothing Optional Beach
Return to DiscussionsAre you comfortable being nude among clothed people at a clothing optional beach especially when you are in the minority?
Recently I visited a clothing optional beach which I have been going to for years. There were a few people on the beach when I arrived and ventured past them since they were all clothed. I set up my blanket and laid down and discretely got naked. The day was beautiful, and I was so comfortable enjoying my natural surroundings. A few people passed by me noticing that I was naked and at the time the only nude person in the area. I eventually got up and strolled down the beach in the surf away from the textiles. I passed by a few clothed people who greeted me politely and kept going. When I returned to my blanket, I noticed more people had come to the clothing optional area. Eventually the person closest to me went nude after a couple of hours and a couple beyond my neighbor. Noticing a few nude people on the beach, I felt more comfortable walking around and playing in the surf. I casually strolled down towards the textiles and the few other nude and semi nude people on their blankets passed by all the textiles to the end point of the clothing optional area which there is a natural barrier. I heard a few comments that I was naked and some stares. I saw a few more people relax and go nude or topless as they accepted the area as being clothing optional. I had always been very comfortable on that beach going nude and for a while was the only nude person there. I did not really think about and just did what I always have done. I then wondered how often does this happen to others and if they are comfortable being nude among textiles especially in a traditionally clothing optional environment.
Having n ever ben to a clothing optional beach before my first time did not go as planned. I felt if other people were nude it would be easy for my first time to be naked on a clothing optional beach. Actually this beach is noted as a nude beach, not clothing optional. It is Little Tribune Bay on Hornby Island. I arrived with my painting kit thinking I'd paint nude. What I noticed was there were no naked people. I found a spot to sketch from and as the time passed saw people only removed their clothing to go swimming. When they got out they quickly got dressed. I did not feel comfortable at all to take my clothes off and after finishing three sketches left feeling cheated of what was to be my first social nude beach experience. As I live a long ways away from any other nude beach I haven't ventured out to try again. I remain a home nudist and forest trail walker.
my favorite beach is apollo beach the first four beach areas - parking areas are textile so you drive to lot five to be nude - guess what most everyone including the textile pass the first four to get to lot five. some get the long lens cameras out on the boardwalk down to the beach to photograph nudes, the textiles walk up and down the nude beach to exercise lol, i pay little attention just glad there is a nude beach to enjoy . i think the easiest solution would be to divide it in half so 2 1/2 lots would be textile and 2 1/2 would be nude.

No, I'm also uncomfortable being naked if others are not. I'm not shy, but I'm also not exhibitionist, and I feel I'm not equal to others.
I think it's a total lack of respect to go in a nudist spot and not go naked oneself. I also think that this leaves the door open to voyeurs those who want to lurk naked people but don't have the balls to go naked themselves.
That's why I'm don't support "optional clothing", and I believe that nudists spots should be mandatory nudity.
But I'm not making the laws, and I know other nudists have different opinions.
Anyway, my advice is to find a more quiet place, or on the contrary to get closer to another group of nudists if there are some.
As a designated clothing optional or even nude beach YOU are the one who belongs there. Maybe the textiles should be the ones feeing out of place. There's precious few places for us nudists as it is so don't hold back take full advantage of being able to be legally nude.It's actually a sensational feeling being the only nude among textiles anyway I think......lucky you!You'll soon find that others will join you & strip off as well.Bern.
I am often the first one naked, and don't mind in the least. As some have already said, sometimes its takes one to get things started, and often that one is me. :-)) However, other times I have been the only one naked, and that doesn't bother me at all either. If it's a nude or clothing optional beach, then I am perfectly within my rights, and it doesn't bother me if others choose not to join me naked. I do find it curious that people would choose to go to a clothing optional or nude beach and not get naked, but I guess that's their right, as it is mine to get naked on the same beach. Each to their own. :-))
If its a recognised and preferable legal nude or clothing optional beach, I will get nude unless its too cold.
Who cares whether the others stay clothed or get nude.
I go to those places to feel nature on my natural body, not to please others insecurities or phobias.

If that were the case then I would never be able to visit a nudist beach as Mar will not go naked in public
To be fair I haven't done it either - YET :-)
