• Arrive with your clothes on
Apart from being illegal, letting it all hang out before you reach the beach might not be appreciated by everyone.
Also be advised that although it is a nude beach, nudity is optional and no one will judge you if you don’t strip.
• Drag a friend along
There is strength and confidence in numbers. Or go alone , depending on your comfort level.
• Don’t say cheese
Leave your camera or camera phone at home. Would you like someone taking pics of you naked?
• Don’t stare
If you want to sneak a peek, wear dark sunglasses. Everyone else does it.
• Blend in
How, you ask? People at nudes beaches read, tan, eat lunch, listen to their iPods, chat etc.
• Cover up
No, not with clothing, with sunscreen lotion. Or you will regret it!
• The erection question
Erections will happen. Flaunt it and you will be asked to leave. Lie on your tummy till it subsides.
REMEMBER: If you’re going to a nudist beach just for a giggle, perhaps you should do us all a favour and stay home with a Steve Martin movie instead, and save yourself the embarrassment.
