In the cracks between are folks like you, who want a mellow afternoon of beachiness in the buff. Half is the upper-crust senior citizen set the other half is under 25 and occupies UCSB and the community college. You can also just go to the hotel’s restaurant, Jack O’Neill Restaurant and Lounge, which serves delicious food made with local ingredients and has some pretty stellar views to go along with it. And since you probably won’t want to go home after all that excitement, get a room at the retro-chic Dream Inn Santa Cruz, which sits right on the beach, has a pool with a bar, and electric bikes you can borrow for a seaside cruise. And they have everything you need, including a wetsuit. Don’t worry: The instructors will take you out in friendly waves. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a surf lesson with Club Ed, an amazing surf school run by Ed Guzman, who has surfed some of the largest waves on Earth. Non-nude attractions: If you’re this close to Santa Cruz, you absolutely have to ride on the Giant Dipper, a classic wooden rollercoaster, at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It’s like Narnia, but for nudity! The sand beneath the rock arch does get slightly submerged during high tide, so it’s best to go during low or medium tides since the dangerous surf in the Pacific is a real thing, and we only want you to be swept away by the views, not the actual ocean. To get there, you need to go to Panther Beach and then walk south until you find the secret rock arch. Only accessible via a small rock arch, this secluded beach surrounded by large sandstone cliffs is the perfect spot for people who want to bare it all. There’s also plenty to do in nearby Pacifica, from live music at Winters Tavern to museum-made Jack cheese. After your beach day, grab some dinner on the deck of Sam’s Chowder House, or enjoy a meal of fresh and flavorful Peruvian food at La Costanera. Non-nude attractions: Half Moon Bay is home to the legendary big-wave spot Mavericks, so stop by Pillar Point to look out at the 25 to 60-foot waves surfed by only the best and bravest. Note that State Park rules apply, meaning nudity is only expressly permitted to the north end of the beach. Lie out and enjoy the warm days when they are here, but avoid the ocean because it’s cold, and the area has no shortage of big, great white sharks. The spot is also known as “Devil’s Slide” because of the numerous landslides caused by erosion around the area, but it’s more officially known as Gray Whale Cove Beach because of the easy-to-spot whales that pass by in the spring. This sliver of beach located underneath the towering bluffs of central California’s gorgeous coast is one that you have to check out, if only because it actually features parking and bathrooms. For dinner, check out some of our favorite restaurants in La Jolla, ranging from Mexican to seafood to Italian cuisine and more. Non-nude attractions: When you’re not naked, you may want to rent a paddleboard from Everyday California and explore the amazing sea caves off of the world-famous La Jolla Cove. Weekdays are the move if you want a bit more breathing room. On a hot sunny weekend, the nude end of the beach can get packed with hundreds of nudists enjoying the beautiful weather, so don’t expect much privacy. While the whole beach is nude tolerant, north of the trailhead is where most people settle. At the trailhead, you can go left to where surfers by the hundreds enjoy some of California’s finest waves or venture to the north, where other nudists have set up their beach camps. You’ll want to park at the Torrey Pines Gliderport and take the main trail hundreds of feet to the black sand beach below. While technically, nudity is a fineable offense, no police officers are willing to make the trek to actually hand out tickets. That era of freedom ended a few years later when the residents voted to make nudity illegal on all beaches. In 1975, the San Diego city council voted to allow nudity at this famous warm-weather beach, considered one of the best nude beaches in the United States, while prohibiting it at all other beaches.
