Nude Beach
Black's Beach in San Diego is perhaps the largest nude beach in the United States and is popular with Southern Californian nudists and naturists. Because Black's Beach was traditionally recognized as a clothing optional beach, nudity is tolerated for the portion of the beach that is managed by the state park. Nudity has been prohibited on the city portion of Black's Beach since 1977. Prior to 1977 the city posted it as a "swimsuit optional" area.
The clothing optional portion of Black's Beach begins about 100-yard (91 m) south of the trail head leading to the Torrey Pines Gliderport, and runs north for approximately 1.1-mile (1.8 km) to the steel buoy south of Flatrock.

Famous quotes containing the word beach:
“We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,—at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
