Only one nude on the beach.
Return to DiscussionsWhile I have been nude on many beaches this is the only time I was the only one nude.
When I was in the Navy we pulled into San Juan PR. At the time I had a really good buddy who was living on St. Thomas running a dive boat for a hotel there. He knows of my propensity for nudity. So, when I called him after we pulled in to PR and told him how close I was and would like to spend a few days on St. Thomas he got me a flight from San Juan to St. Thomas (it was a Twin Cessna 400 series). I let him know that would really like to spend some time nude on the island and he said he knew just the place. So the next day we headed to the beach. I don't know the name of it. But when we got there (I think we were one of the first ones there) I wasted no time getting naked. As the day went on I was getting some good sun and the beach was getting more and more populated with textiles. I stayed nude the whole day and nothing was ever said by anyone to me about my nudity. I look back on that as being a very lucky day. I had a great nude weekend. Stayed naked most of the time only got dressed when the one roommate who wasn't comfortable with me being nude was around.
Here's to Younger days!!
I've often been the only nude on a beach. As I now travel with a friend it is just the two of us who are naked. Sometimes our exposure breaks the ice and others follow oar example.
I remember one particular time when I was definitely the only nude. I walked naked along the cliff top to a popular nudist beach which I knew well. But that was always during the summer when nudists rained supreme. On this occasion, one March, I walked down from the cliff naked and in full view of the many people on the beach. Then I realised they were all wrapped up against the late winter chill. To late - they had seen me. So I walked through them and settled down to catch the gentle early spring sun.
There was another time I was climbing naked on the cliff behind the beach. Attention was drawn to me by my friends pointing their cameras at me. Then a mixed bunch arrived, all fully clothed. They all watched me until I climbed back down to the sand. Then they started a yoga class and I was invited to join them, still naked.
Another time my friend and I were sunbathing nude on a beach when about 20 young men and women came jogging along the beach, and then back to a position close to us. It turned out to be a starter's surfing school. The instructor positioned himself between us and his students. It meant that, in order to pay attention to him, they had to look directly at us. Of course we did what we could to distract them.
My latest naked on a non-nude beach event was on holiday with my wife. The beach had nude sections at the far ends but the middle bit where we were had the loungers and sunshades which my wife wanted and was definitely textile and busy.
I took my time and was not very discreet removing m shorts to wear my tan-through tanga or going for a swim.
I've had the opposite experience when staying at Costa Natura (Spain) during the summer. The nude beach stretches quite a way south of the resort. But the beach bar is textile. We fancied a beer so wrapped something flimsy round our loins and went into the bar. It was quiet which isn't surprising given that it insisted on clothing in the middle of a nude beach.
When we lived in Hawaii, I frequently would work a lot of evening and night shifts which provided me with lots of daylight hours to spend on the beach. So I got to know the usual traffic of the different beaches that I would go to, along with which beaches were "tolerant of nudity" since there aren't any "legal" nude beaches in Hawaii, but there are known "tolerant nude beaches" like Little Beach on Maui.
So one mid-week morning after working a midnight shift, I arrived and one of my normal beaches where especially during the week was usually empty, with the occasional beach walker which never really seemed concerned about my nudity. I say this because on multiple occasions I have had them walk right up to me and say "don't worry about getting dressed for me, we all know this is where people come to sunbathe nude" or something to the fact.
This particular night had been a tiring night at work and I really should have went home and slept instead of going to the beach, but I went anyway. So shortly after setting up my spot I laid back and fell fast asleep. What I didn't know was shortly after I had fallen asleep 2 tour buses of Japanese tourist's had arrived at this beach to go whale watching all of which were equipped with camera's and binoculars.
I must have been asleep for about 2 hours when I finally awoke to find myself surrounded by whale watching Japanese tourists, so I quickly grabbed a towel to cover myself, when one guy said "don't worry, we were told we might see naked sunbathers and the guide didn't disappoint us!" Then after I was awake multiple tourists came over to talk to me and asked to take a picture with the "naked man"
As it will soon be Christmas I have a seasonal story. My fav venture to a beach is wearing a Santa hat, fil flops and nothing else. I'm flaunting my white beard. The fun is the number of dressed beach-goers who photograph this naked Santa. Unfortunately none of the photos are on my camera.
On this year's winter sunshine holiday on Gran Canaria the beach near our hotel wasn't nudist but I still went down there before breakfast on most mornings for a skinny-dip. There were many walkers and several other pre-breakfast swimmers but I was the only one naked.
The video from which the pictures are taken can be viewed here.
It happens sometimes when on holiday if I am on a part of the beach that is away from any crowds but still popular with walkers or cyclists on the trail just beyond the sand.
I'll try to get to the water and later return to my clothes in the quiet periods. The trail ensures you can never be 100% sure you won't get caught.
