Ranger Danger
2.00Used to be my favorite nude beach. Talked to a guy down there who got a $250.00 ticket for nudity in Oct of '23. I made it down in Aug '24 and saw only textiles and three park rangers at the top of the bluff making their way down the steep trail around 5:00 on a Sunday afternoon. Asked a local in the parking lot and he said they are giving citations to nude people because some couple was seen having sex when a family came around a corner. How many more nude places must we lose because of the voyeurists and perverts? History just keeps repeating itself.
Pros: Few people
Cons: Roving, ticket-happy park rangers.
