What a feeling of freedom it must be!

were young and everyone else is old.
but that doesnt stop us from going.
everyone is really friendly and for the most part no one bothers us.

I’ve been naked on beaches before, but no one else was naked. I’d like to visit a nude or clothing-optional beach, just for the experience. It could be sexy with the right people, but I’d imagine there are a lot of old, overweight people there. t would be more about the freedom of it.
I hear lots of older people go to these, so I don’t think I’d be after any thrills. The thought of sitting on a beach while naked and nobody caring just seems terrific.
How convenient is it not to worry about wet swimsuits and sitting in the sand!
I was in Vancouver the first time I visited “this kind” of beach, which is odd because you wouldn’t really think of Vancouver as having the type of climate that would accommodate it but actually the weather’s quite mild in the summer and the water shallow enough that it’s not too cold despite being so far north. I had heard about Wreck Beach, and when I decided to go there I felt a bit of the thrill of knowing I was about to do something that was taboo.
The beach is near the university down a steep staircase, and when I got down there I felt more awkward than I thought I would being surrounded by naked people. I must have sat on the sand being one of the few clothed-people there for about an hour or more trying not to avoid looking at the people around me and feeling self-conscious before I finally got the nerve to take off my clothes. When I finally did, nothing unusual or humuliating happened like I feared something might. No one cared and no one stared at me, and it seemed like something totally ordinary. It’s actually kind of a humbling and disarming experience.
Well, you shouldn’t go to a beach like this expecting all or any of the people to look like models, but I think that the whole point of going is not to check out other people but to be free in expressing yourself and not care so much about what other people might think.

I accidentally ended up in a car full of Argentians, in Andalucia, on their way to the beach to meet a Bulgarian girl one of them knew. As we walked further down the beach in search of the mysterious Bulgarian, it dawned on us that this was not a normal beach. She ran to greet us (things bounced). We all shook her hand politely and tried to pretend she wasn’t naked. Her boyfriend ran after her (more bouncing). We shook his hand politely, and tried to pretend he wasn’t naked with an enormous erection. We all went off to get icecream together, which was nice.
In the end, feeling we were defiling something sacred with our clothing, we stripped off. Pablo had a chessboard, and we played a few games, which I won, easily. I think he was distracted by my nakedness.
Liberating in an odd, patronisingly middle-class sort of way I suppose, and worth it of only for the reassurance that actually, most people are pretty damn unattractive when you see them naked.
Do make sure you apply the sunscreen thoroughly. We saw some terrible blisters in really quite intimate places…
you will be surprised how quickly you feel comfortable and climatised to it. Soon i was walking along the beach, which i would never have dreamed i would have the guts to do. The beach had many people. I put sun screen all over except a section of my tip of my male private part. the rest of it got really tanned dark. and now it is two-toned til this day.
