About Blacks Beach

Black's Beach, America's most popular, is still an active nudist site in the state-owned portion. If visit, do your part to keep it that way by respecting the boundary signs and covering up if you're going beyond them.

Nudity bans are enforced on the south end in the city-owned portion of Black's Beach ($135 fine)

Black's Beach is topped by 300-foot high sandstone cliffs
Two miles long and as wide as 60 feet
There have been some reports of sex on the sand
Hang gliders and remote control airplanes nearby
Paul says Black's is "Very clean and at low tide, it is very wide. High tide can consume nearly all of it if it is an especially high, high tide. Sand is fine and is a mixture of black and white sand."

Attendance at Black's Beach can top 10,000
