Nude in la

When going nude on California's beaches, there's often a wide chasm between expectation and reality -- but that's more of a "nude beach" thing than a California thing. You can't just drop trou and get an all-over tan at any old stretch of Golden State shoreline, and the select beaches where California does allow nude sunbathing are mostly and not-so-coincidentally in hard-to-reach and obscure locations. In other words, they're the kind of amenity-free beaches where you'd do well to bring your own food, drinks, chairs, and umbrellas. Many of the state's most popular and underrated nude beaches are hidden mere minutes away from the popular shopping malls that line our coast, but you'd never know it unless you knew where to look. So, we're telling you where to look: here are all the best beaches to bare your ass in California, how to get to them, and everything you need to know once you're there. Just keep your clothes on until you're sure you're in the right place.

Years ago we went to a nude beach around Ventura. Does any one know if it is still there, and, are there still nude beaches to go to, or have they been closed up? Thanks for any information. Ask in the Santa Barbara or Ventura forums. Not in Ventura County but you may be in luck just north of the county line in Santa Barbara county at a beach called Bates Beach.

Los Angeles may have a reputation for shocking behavior, but when it comes to going nude in public. In fact, any mention you see of a nude beach in the LA area is either decades out of date or someone spreading an urban legend. Nude sunbathing was perfectly legal in LA until the mids. That's when Bob Opel showed up at a City Council meeting held to discuss a ban on nudity.

There are areas on the California coast that are void of nude beaches all of Los Angeles County for example , but each region of the state has some. Below is a list of the official and unofficial nude beaches in California sorted from south to north. Note that you should obey all city, county, state, and federal laws whether posted or not. Technically nudity is prohibited across the entire state and is either a citable or an arrestable offence pursuant to the California Code of Regulations Title section — public nudity.
