Does anyone remember Red White & Blue Beach?
If you grew up in the in the South Bay Area or Santa Cruz , you might remember this beach. There were plenty of clothing optional beaches in the area but RWB was the best. It had a gated entrance (I think it was fairly inexpensive) and you drove down a sandy road from there a short distance to the parking lot. Adjacent to the lot were some campsites as well. The best part was undressing at the car. We typically didnt bring anything but towels and a small cooler onto the beach and sometimes set up almost a mile away from the lot.
The place was sold in 2008 and has been inaccessible since.
Bonny Dune was my first nude experience. I was 18 and had just started college. Had a classmate whom I made friends with and she got me to go with her. Pretty girl but not really my type. It was a bit intimidating for me but she said she was going to pull off my shorts if I didnt. Lol, we werent a thing. I was dating someone else and she was engaged. Anyway, I was hooked from that day on. Went with her maybe half a dozen times. I was clearly friend-zoned by her but we would get out of class at 11am and be on the beach before 1pm. Got to spend time with a gorgeous naked woman and I had no other obligations. I was just a friend who kept her from being approached by other men while she was at the beach; she didnt like going alone.
She ended up marrying her fianc and I recently contacted her. Shes been through 4 husbands. I continued going to Bonny Doon and Red, White & Blue in the early to mid 80s and brought my future wife to the those beaches as well. Were still married!
I was there I think twice while on business trips that included a weekend day. I loved the fact that it was basically the only beach access for miles, and you could walk a really long way, likely without seeing a single person.
It's been a long time since I've been out that way, but from within the Santa Cruz city limits, (Privates, It's, 2222, and an alleged section near Natural Bridge I could never find), and several beaches all the way up to Bonny Doon there's a lot of nude opportunity.
