The World Nude Beaches Guide with Photos

WORLD / NORTH AMERICA

Report by Coccozella

Baker Beach, only minutes from downtown San Francisco is one of North America's hottest urban nude beaches. Like Haulover Beach in Florida and Black's Beach in San Diego, large numbers of visitors come and go on any warm sunny day because of the proximity to city life. Not for the shy though, my experience has been that more than half the people are in bathing suits or fully clothed, strolling through. There's a wide stretch of sand and normally the nudists will dominate the area to the extreme north, creating a bit of a safe pocket. Volley Ball and other games are regularily organized. If "gawkers" bother you, ask someone how to get to "North Baker Beach". I don't recommend taking the path through the rocks at the shoreline as it is truly dangerous. North Baker Beach has far fewer non-nudes and the friendly atmosphere is 80% male gays.

Directions: On a city map of San Francisco you will see Baker Beach marked at the north west section of the city. There is a public transport bus that stops right by the beach. Once on the beach walk north (to the right). On a busy day you will right away notice a lot of topfreedom and as you continue you will see more and more nude folks mixed in with "textilers". After 10 minutes you will reach the end of the beach and the area that is the most nude. Environment:Those really hot weekend sunny days that pack the beach are actually not all that frequent here, though days that are warm enough to be nude can happen throughout the year. Fog is a dominant weather feature along the coast and many days remain overcast and cool. But sooner or later the fog lifts and some of that famous California sunshine makes an appearance. The surf is usually too rough for swimming.

Facilities: Washrooms by the parking lot.

History/Status: The clothing-optional status is official and the beach is patroled for security.

Parking: The beach has extensive parking facilities but they will fill to capacity on sunny days. Arrive early or take the bus. Accommodation: You're in the city.
