Located on a national seashore means it's undeveloped (no high rise condo's to block the beautiful view or bring in tons of tourists) with very few facilities. There are a couple pavilions that can be reserved (can't get naked there) and restrooms at the entrance by the ranger's station. That's it. Last check there are no signs designating (warning? ha) about the presence of naked people, which I guess posting such a sign could be seen as sanctioning the behavior. Not likely since Florida is in the conservative south. Generally it's "okay" to get naked at the far end of the beach, where families with children (or others) wishing to avoid the site of someone naked won't stumble upon anything they dislike.You can camp overnight (must have a permit I believe), but that takes a little logistics. You have to park at last a half mile away. (I'd suggest driving all the way to the turn-about, unloading your stuff [hopefully with a friend to keep watch until you return], then parking and walking back. It's a half mile hike to the area where camping is permitted (marked by a sign). You can build a fire right on the beach. Of course the camping is leave-no-trace campingThere's a lot of info out on the web. Just Google "Johnson Beach Florda"

NOTE: That phone number is for the National Park Service. I wouldn't suggest asking them questions about being naked on the beach. The practice seems to be tolerated, not sanctioned.
