I'm kind of surprised that San Onofre beach in S. California hasn't yet been posted as a topic under this category (although it was briefly mentioned in comparison with San Diego's Black's Beach in a different topic).
A few years back, San Onofre was my first introduction to being nude on a beach (or in a public venue for that matter) and it completely revamped my feelings toward nudity--I've been hooked ever since!
I still think that San Onofre is my favorite beach---no offense to Black's Beach which is a close 2nd---but San Onofre is usually less crowded, and it's just so beautiful and relaxing and removed enough from civilization that you really feel one with nature. The beach is pretty clean (as far as Calif beaches go), the water is beautiful, you often can see dolphins swimming in the distance, and the cliffs are magnificent.
Sometimes you see military exercises by helicopter or boat (Camp Pendleton owns the adjacent beach just to the south) but that's kind of cool to watch too (usually that doesn't happen, but it's an interesting change of pace when it does).
There's just a great vibe there---a mix of ages, genders, families, singles, surfers, bikers, campers, etc.--and it's a very friendly atmosphere.
Only part of the beach is c/o, but the clothed people for the most part seem to stay to their portion---or if they do venture into the nude part, they seem to take things in stride (I rarely, if ever, have seen gawkers).
I just hope to high heaven that the proposed freeway extension isn't implemented through that State Park---that would be a tragedy!
If anyone on here ever visits San Onofre, they should holler--it's more fun to go with people, and none of my friends are into the nude beach scene!

I'd have to agree.
I went to San Onofre back in the early 90's ('93 & '94) when I could while on business travel. I fondly remember a rousing game of volley ball.

Ah, '93-'94 was many years prior to me discovering nudism or nude beaches (I didn't even know of San Onofre's existence back then)----but I don't think you'd find much changed--in the summer months it's easy to find rousing games of volley ball! :)

We go to San Onofre when weather permits. Usually on weekdays. It's the only nude beach I've heard of in this area, so I hope the toll road doesn't ruin it.

Well, Karen, next time I'm there on a weekday (not often, but once in awhile) maybe we'll run into each other and say hi.
(I of course will be sans the hat and briefcase a' la my avatar, lol)

I was always under the impression that the extension of the Toll Rd. would impact the surfing parking lot and the camp ground near the Basilone Rd. exit. I don't think it will impact the nude section of San O. I sure hope I'm not wrong. This is the only nude beach for us from this area. We'd have to drive to La Jolla to Black's if something happened to San O.'s nude beach section. That would not good.
We usually go on weekends but maybe we'll run into one another on a weekday sometime. We usually park our stuff just south of the volleyball group.

I have no idea whether it will affect the beach or not. I haven't really looked into it. If something happens to this beach then I guess we will be confined to home nudism because I sure won't be driving any further!

Have you ever been to one of the clubs or visited any of the resorts in PS?

No. That's about 2 hours from here. 4 hours round trip. Too far.

I will be in the LA area in mid-April and have some choices I would like advice on - first, should I go to San Onofre (closer) or Black's beach?
I don't want to be the only one nude, but I also don't want a steady stream of gawkers or picture takers (typical out here on the east coast).
Second, I can either go on a Friday, or on a Sunday - assuming the weather is OK either day (how likely is that in mid-April?), which would be better?
Thanks! I'm looking forward to a nice day....

PS - Karen, any chance you'd be headed to San Onofre mid-April, and would like to meet there? It'd be more fun going with someone who knows their way around.....

Sunny,
I'm assuming that you are female...am I correct? If so, then I'd recommend San O beach as opposed to Blacks, only because there tends to be a bit more gawkers at Blacks then at San O.
That's not to say that there aren't any at San O but there are less, from what we've heard from friends that do go to Blacks.
Sunday's would be best because there will be more single females and couples. The more women on the beach the better for those females traveling alone. Find a spot next to some couples and you'll be just fine.
If you plan to venture or sit by yourself, you can be assured that you'll be visited by several single males wanting to strike up a conversation. Many of these guys are harmless and just want to talk to a female nudist.
April in So. Cal is kinda hit and miss. We've had the "April Showers" that bring May Flowers and then we've had some darn nice, warm, clear days as well. Since you have two days to pick from, I'd recommend being packed and ready and if the weather's good, head down there.
Stay north of the Marine Base fence line. You'll see a chain link fence with signage. Venturing south of this will have you faced with all kinds of stuff that's not tolerated on the north side of the fence line. Anyone venturing down there runs the risk of getting ticketed by the MP's and then run off onto the north side of the fence.............then they're run off that beach for acting like idiots.
We are incredibly busy right now and not sure if we'd be able to make it down to the beach at that time but we'll keep mid April in mind and if we can make it, send us your dates and my wife and I will try and visit while you're there.
Good luck with your choice of beaches and the weather while you're here.
FP

Sunny, I concur with FireProf. San Onofre is probably a better choice for the first-time nude beacher visitor (and personally I just like the aesthetics of the terrain iteslf more than Blacks'---nicer cliffs, slightly more scenic in my opinion).
I was there just last week and it was very nice. I usually go maybe once every 2-3 weekends starting around March thru October (give or take). As opposed to Blacks, which maybe I visit once a summer, if at all (it's also much farther for me).
Perhaps I'll get the opportunity to meet some of the folks on this site if they're going to be at San Onofre on a day I'm there too! :)

I agree with the above assessment. San O does cost $10 a day to enter the park, this probably keeps the cheap gawkers away. Also, my wife and I were just went to San O and she was one of two women on the beach.
