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:
“On the beach at night,
Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.
Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
