  It wouldn't bother me at the slightest been the only one, and if the others don't want to join me it is their loss for staying in cloths.

  Having n ever ben to a clothing optional beach before my first time did not go as planned.  I felt if other people were nude it would be easy for my first time to be naked on a clothing optional beach. Actually this beach is noted as a nude beach, not clothing optional. It is Little Tribune Bay on Hornby Island. I arrived with my painting kit thinking I'd paint nude. What I noticed was there were no naked people. I found a spot to sketch from and as the time passed saw people only removed their clothing to go swimming.  When they got out they quickly got dressed. I did not feel comfortable at all to take my clothes off and after finishing three sketches left feeling cheated of what was to be my first social nude beach experience. As I live a long ways away from any other nude beach I haven't ventured out to try again. I remain a home nudist and forest trail walker.

  my favorite beach is apollo beach the first four beach areas - parking areas are textile so you drive to lot five to be nude - guess what most everyone including the textile pass the first four to get to lot five. some get the long lens cameras out on the boardwalk down to the beach to photograph nudes,  the textiles walk up and down the nude beach to exercise lol, i pay little attention just glad there is a nude beach to enjoy . i think the easiest solution would be to divide it in half so 2 1/2 lots would be textile and 2 1/2 would be nude.

  [quote]Are you comfortable being nude among clothed people at a clothing optional beach especially when you are in the minority?[/quote]No, I'm also uncomfortable being naked if others are not. I'm not shy, but I'm also not exhibitionist, and I feel I'm not equal to others.
  I think it's a total lack of respect to go in a nudist spot and not go naked oneself. I also think that this leaves the door open to voyeurs — those who want to lurk naked people but don't have the balls to go naked themselves.
  That's why I'm don't support "optional clothing", and I believe that nudists spots should be mandatory nudity.
  But I'm not making the laws, and I know other nudists have different opinions.
  Anyway, my advice is to find a more quiet place, or on the contrary to get closer to another group of nudists if there are some.

  As a designated clothing optional or even nude beach YOU are the one who belongs there. Maybe the textiles should be the ones feeing out of place. There's precious few places for us nudists as it is so don't hold back take full advantage of being able to be legally nude.It's actually a sensational feeling being the only nude among textiles anyway I think......lucky you!You'll soon find that others will join you & strip off as well.Bern.

  I am often the first one naked, and don't mind in the least. As some have already said, sometimes its takes one to get things started, and often that one is me. :-)) However, other times I have been the only one naked, and that doesn't bother me at all either. If it's a nude or clothing optional beach, then I am perfectly within my rights, and it doesn't bother me if others choose not to join me naked. I do find it curious that people would choose to go to a clothing optional or nude beach and not get naked, but I guess that's their right, as it is mine to get naked on the same beach. Each to their own. :-))

  If its a recognised and preferable legal nude or clothing optional beach, I will get nude unless its too cold.
  Who cares whether the others stay clothed or get nude.
  I go to those places to feel nature on my natural body, not to please others insecurities or phobias.

  We are not at all bothered, if it is a clothing optional beach we opt to go naked even if everybody else is not!

  [/quote]If that were the case then I would never be able to visit a nudist beach as Mar will not go naked in public
  
  To be fair I haven't done it either - YET :-)

  I am hoping to get to one this year and will drive nude, so as I will get out of the car nude with the basic such as a towel, sun cream etc and just find a place to sunbathe.

  [quote]If I plan on a weekend at a nude beach or resort then I'm going to be naked when I'm there. There's always going to be some textiles and they are always going to have a reason why. Sometimes it's to keep warm or because of the sun. Sometimes they're just trying to get the nerve up to try this for the first time and then there are the ones that shouldn't be there at all. Either way I have no problem being nude around any of them.[/quote] I totally agree. Heck I'd be nude at a non nude beach if I could.

  I do not understand textiles flocking to a nude beach to spend the day.  Somehow it feels like a violation but then again a nudist doesn't necessarily have any legal rights do they?  If a beach was no clothing allowed who could enforce that?
  
  I can understand a few textiles going to a c/o beach wanting to check it out and work up the courage to try it out.  My wife had the need to ease into the social side where many people were going to see her.  I can tell you she would not be comfortable being the only nude person on a beach even if it was an official nude beach.  Of course since she wouldn't enjoy herself I wouldn't partake of it either.  I'd probably just be miffed at the textile violators and move on to be nude somewhere else.

Just as textiles have to be relaxed about nudists in that area do too do nudists need to be accepting of textiles in the area. Just let it be and relax.

  The first time I ever went to a clothing optional beach I arrived early in the morning and there were a few nude sunbathers present. As the day went more and more folks arrived and most if not all of them chose to remain in their swimsuits. At first it didn't bother me, but as more people arrived and some of the nudes left I became concerned that the beach wasn't as clothing optional as I thought so I put my swimsuit on. Today it wouldn't bother me at all and I would remain nude.

  I am certainly not an exhibitionist and dislike gawkers.  I am very comfortable being nude and don't make a big deal about it.  If anything,  I am sort of a shy nudist and enjoy being nude but don't like feeling like I am on display especially around people that I don't know.  If I am around friends that are nudists or know that I am a nudist, I would and have gone nude around them when they are comfortable with it and often have been the first to go nude and usually joined by others eventually. I feel that I am not body beautiful but exude confidence and comfort with my body.  My feeling of shyness at times comes from being a nudist of color.  I am often the only black nudist or one of very few which, I guess, sparks curiosity.  Therefore, I feel that I am often stared out although I have nothing really exquisite to view.  Nonetheless, if I am in a place where nudity is generally accepted, I will go nude even if discretely nude.

  At Apollo beach if you walk south from 3 or 4 I have been nude and see mostly nudists there! At Playalinda as soon as you cross the dunes their are nudists everywhere and it is funny watching people get there and realizing it is not a textile beach!

  [quote]I used to go to that other one as it was substantially closer to me.  It was actively taken over and we were driven from the beach.  Black's definitely has more of a truly optional feel to it. Those who remain clothed know exactly where they are and feel more welcoming to unclothed bathers. [/quote][quote]
  [/quote][quote]We had two nude beaches here in Southern California. One was taken away because some felt that just because we were naked, it was a "no holds barred" invitation to sexual activity on the beach! Now we have one and it's adjacent to a University. Lots of college kids come down to the beach to exercise (jog), to enjoy the beach as they would any public beach, to try being nude or topless on the beach for the first time and ... some actually enjoy the beach nude and must quite often because we've seen many college kids with great tans and no tan lines, as they break out their books and study materials.
  
  WE don't give it much thought if we are amongst a few clothed people. If they are minding their own business, we don't care. IF ... some of them seem a bit too interested in certain women, or any woman and we suspect voyeuristic activity with a camera or video cam, then we'll jump up and get in their faces about it. Most times this affects the younger college women being bothered, harassed or photographed/videoed.
  
  I've gone up to many of these young people and talked to them about why they venture down to the nude section of the beach and keep their clothes or swim suits on. Occasionally I'll get someone that becomes defensive but most times, it's those that are there to check it out and then eventually try it. Many of the young women are concerned about the guys from the University coming down and seeing them and thinking that they are a bit more "friendly" because they enjoy being naked, and they don't want to be hassled on campus or for any stories or rumors started so ... they remain in their suits or just topless. That's a legitimate concern and compromise.
  
  The most important thing is to NOT give up your space or the beach to a textile take over.  Remain, remain naked and educate them whenever possible.  Speak up if you witness sexual activity and tell them to take it someplace where no one can see them ... like home!

  I was lucky in that my very first experience of a nude beach was one where virtually everyone was naked. I actually felt uneasy until I stripped off myself, something which I did very quickly. It is useful to know the etiquette for each beach. There is a cluster of clothes optional beaches in the far western Algarve (Portugal). On some the nudist area is at the far end of the beach, so I walk to that end before getting naked. On others the nudists are spread throughout the beach and I get naked on entering the beach, sometimes beforehand. And all these nude areas/beaches have textiles on them as well. They may be surfers or a surfing school. I enjoy being naked in front of them - asserting my right to be naked. They are genuinely Clothes Optional. That is no bad thing. It allows a couple to enjoy the beach when one is nude and the other clothed. It also allows hesitant nudists to get naked in their own time. Both those are good for encouraging new nudists.
  
  My friends and I are often the first or the only nudists on the beach. I'm comfortable with that. The textiles accept our nudity and we accept them being clothed. I must have been nude on beaches 100's of times now and have only ever had one bad reaction.  Incidentally textiles can get a bad reaction too. The beach at Cap d'Agde is totally nude. The geography makes it impossible to access most of the beach except through the nudist village. The exception is at the sexy end if the beach which connects to a textile beach. But anyone daring to enter in any clothing will be driven off by the men and forcibly stripped by the women. Contrast this with the nude beach at Maspalomas. It has a continual parade of clothed beach-goers along the water's edge.

  I would be completely comfortable being the only person totally nude at a clothing optional beach. After all people who go to clothing optional beaches should expect to see nudists. So I wouldn't let them interfere with my right to enjoy being nude. Also there are always a fair number of people who stay clothed so it's not unusual. Some may be gawkers or curious, but some may be trying to work up the nerve to undress. Some women may eventually remove their tops and nothing more,but it's a start. So I feel I'm setting an example by showing that nudity is normal and exposing my naked body to clothed people is no big deal.
