A few naked sunbathers show up here on a periodic basis. “It’s duney, but also so wide open in places that rangers can drive up and down and harass people,” a regular visitor says. What little nudity occurs usually happens on weekdays or when there aren’t many other people present. Use discretion and be prepared to suit up fast, in case a beach cop appears.

Riptides; undertow; cold water; increased law enforcement; proximity of homes.
