We are so offended by what other people are doing.
Me, I'd steer clear, but I wouldn't be grossed out by other people having sex on the beach, any more than I would be if I saw two dogs coupling there, or two birds. I don't see why humans have a special place in that continuum.
As a dad, I like the idea of keeping private acts separate from public spaces. Perhaps two adults coupling is a natural act, but a public space doesn't provide an appropriate context. Parents leaving their bedroom door open at night, animals coupling in a barn or birds and bees being birds and bees in nature do, and adults checking into a hotel do. What are the natural boundaries of respect for others, for example for a nudist dad who wants to expose his kids to healthy social nudity, that people can act like normal people with and without their clothes on? If they see sex on a nude beach but not on a clothed on how will that influence their idea of nudism? And by "private acts" I don't just mean nudity. I've been on a commuter train where a women sat next to me and starting upacking her full line of cosmetics to apply as if we were a couple getting ready for work together. Should I in turn cut my fingernails, shave, floss and squeeze my zits next to her? So I took out a dollar, offered it to her, saying I was so sorry she was homeless and didn't have a bathroom. She got the message.

I agree. I grew up on a farm and saw animals breeding in my younger years, it was no big deal as Dad explained that was how we get baby piglets and calves. People are just another form of animal, but most of us have a higher level of consensus. Many human animals tend to push the the rules and laws of "Civilized society" to the breaking point.
When I was younger, there was a unofficial nude beach in the Minneapolis MN metro area. By the time I was old enough to get a car and drive the 40 miles, the beach was shut down. Human animals had taken over the beach to practice their breeding techniques, then the aggressive gay bulls took over followed by the dopers. The city that owned the property sold it to a developer, who quickly built a bunch of homes there.
There are a number of other stories of the same thing happening to well established nude beaches.
We need to remember, we are already pushing the rules of our general society by just being nude at a beach. And many non nudists would love to shut us down. Those who are inclined to public breeding displays just give the non nudists more ammo to shut us down.
So PLEASE don't be that childish self centered (ME first, screw you) SOB that helps to get a rare nude beach shut down.
Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned in my previous post that I was speaking only for myself, when I was alone. Having kids around puts things into a different category altogether. I agree that parents should have the right to regulate what their children see, and that people in public areas should restrain themselves when kids around.
