How would you address a couple or a single misbehaving at the nude beach?
This was a discussion that began in another thread, that deserves its own place.
What would you say, if in only a sentence or two, to convey to people behaving sexually at the public nude beach that they are risking ruining it for everyone?

Bob, you and I might be "old loners" (LOL!), but there are also:
- children
- reluctant significant others
- newbies
who are also frequenting/trying out nude beaches.
If the above people stop frequenting nude beaches - because of pervs; that leaves you and me (the "old loners") and the pervs at the nude beach. Maybe that's a world you wouldn't mind living in. Personally, I think that world sucks.
But you can have it!

"someone misbehaving" is always a subjective complaint. What you or I see as "misbehaving" that other "someone" sees as a good activity. I'm not sure I would agree with anyone here on what is or is not "misbehaving." Some stuff I would really rather not see, some of you would probably find acceptable, and vice versa. In most places just being naked is "someone misbehaving."
I tend to avoid supporting or interacting with people who's behavior or lifestyle I don't enjoy. I won't go harass them unless someone is getting physically hurt. Just someone else's feelings being offended is probably mutually problematic and I'm not one to decide which of them is right or wrong today.
Don't call the police and become a "problem area" because of the number of incidents. Don't harass someone or start a fight. The best thing to do almost always is Mind Your Own F'ing Business, in my opinion. MYO'B

I agree with Nudony. Best with numbers and with a female leading the charge which will defuse the situation and attract attention and support.
Happy Nuding. |

hahahaha ... the Prof's got the "short fuse!" I find myself in situations where I'm either gonna have to pummel someone or I'm the one gonna get pummeled! hahahahaha
But Nudony's right; best to get at least one other objecting nudist to confront the idiot. Speak loudly and make sure attention is being focused on you and the culprit. Everytime this has happened to us ... the person causing the problem packs up and takes off before we do anything but draw everyone else's attention toward them.
Wish more people had done that at our beach, maybe it might still be open.

If you've got a short fuse like I do; please do not engage a "misbehavor" without first rallying a couple of people to your cause. Bring it up to the people sitting next to you, see if you can get at least one or two to accompany you and confront the "creep."
I did that at Mazo a couple of years ago. Had I confronted the guy on my own (he got sassy), I probably would have tried to beat him into the sand.

I didn't see this post but ... it's completely inaccurate.
There is no housing development going in ANYWHERE near Trail 6 and what used to be the "nude" section of San Onofre Beach. The prior nude section of San O Beach was approximately 100+ yrds long, before you hit the fenceline that denoted the Camp Pendleton Marine Base property, on the south end. To the north was a natural wash and a lifeguard tower with the number 6 on it.
The property west of the 5 Fwy and the water is state parks land and NOT property zoned for "residental." The property east of the 5 Fwy is Camp Pendleton property. There is no property close by miles and miles where a developer could build homes. And ... even if they did, they'd have to be 4-5 stories high and perched on the cliffs to be able to look down and see the nudes on the beach.
This quoted statement is not accurate at all.

That makes as much sense as new homeowners objecting to the airport they just moved in next to. |

Like children, most people will do things to see if, or for as long as, they can get away with them. I like the "HEY! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET THIS BEACH SHUT DOWN??!!" appeoach. Loud and firm. Especially if you can get a few to join you. They know immediatly what you are talking about. It will kill their mood very quickly. Make peace by letting them know that it's not personal, they are welcome to stay, but that sexual behavior is not tolerated for the protection of the beach. Thank them for cooperating. You may even win a friend. |

Will do ... Hope to see her Saturday. She's having a party at her house for her friends if we can make it.

WE miss her a great deal ... as a leader, a spokesperson for naturism but mostly as a friend.
Give her a big hug from us and her family at San O !

Fire,
We had the pleasure sitting in Marianna's home in TN and listening to her war stories at San Onofre. I agree she had a nack for it and she spoke of the backup she had when anyone gave her an attitude. She is well and still very active with a great group of nudist friends that have addopted her as famliy.

Bob is correct. This is what happened at San Onofre Beach, Trail 6, south of San Clemente, CA. 13 reported incidents of lewd acts were reported. 8 of those acts happened in the parking lot ... a mile away from the beach!
Another 4-5 incidents were reported by nudists on the beach and calls to the rangers were for help to remove the offending party. This was over an 18 month period. Typically, on a nice weekend, there would be 12-1500 nudists visiting this beach. It got so crowded that there were 3-4 rows of nudist 4-5 ft apart, the length of the nude section of beach. 6 incidents that occurred on the beach in 18 monthts!
Our past president of the Friends of San Onofre Beach group, Marianna Handler, was an absolute PRO at telling offenders what they were doing wrong and why they should not. She spent more time with these people explaining, then needed to be but that was her way and I think she got better results.
You can be polite, you can be stern or you can be forceful or threatening. I've found that being stern works and if you have some other regulars around to make a show of unity and support... almost all of these offenders will leave.
While we were visiting our beach on a regular basis ... our approach was simple. Explain that what they are doing is cause for our beach to be shut down. Explain that they are being rude to act as if there is no one else around and contrary to what they thought ... the vast majority doesn't want to watch their sexual activity. If they presist ... call in the re-enforcements or take it upon yourself to threaten forced ejection. It can be done without violence and physical confrontation.
We only had a couple of couples or guys that refused and when a few guys got around them, and began packing up their gear and walking it down the beach ... they asked for their belongings and left.

E-mailing a complaint to the local cops would go into their "trouble area" file. They count the "incidents" and if there are several in one area they lobby for laws against whatever is going on there.
Regardless of how "right" one is to object to the behavior of someone else, sending a photo to the local cops is bad for everyone who wants a hassle free place to go naked. Just the way cops work.
