Blue Dirt,
Sorry mate, it must have been a typo... All fixed now.
I'm sure Cheri will be able to give you more local knowledge when next she logs in next.
Cheers,

Blue Dirt, One easy way is going to http://www.nudistparksusa.net and inserting your zip code. According to TNS's World Guide, there is also a c/o waterfall caled Meeker Falls. off of the Bodega Highway.
Since you're in school and under 25 yrs. old, AANR membership is reduced as is TNS membership. If interested in joining one or both through a club rather than direct, I would be very happy to facilitate it for you.
Welcome to this board!
Hugs, Cheri

Bluedirt,
You are very fortunate in that you live in a part of the country that is very liberal. The San Francisco Bay Guardian annually does a bit on nude beaches in the area. They also post it on the web. Have you ever thought of doing the Bay to Breakers or rather the Bare to Breakers? I did that in 2000 and man talk about a unique experience!! Do you roller blade? There is a group that regularly organizes nude skates through different parts of San Fransico. I think these are great examples of how open and accepting this city is. I know you don't live in the city but it is with in commutting distance isn't it? Just a few examples that came to mind, good luck.

In my area it's hard to find a place to enjoy sun disrobe but thank God I have my sail boat and enjoy summer sun to it's full capacity... no strings attached....
In the winter time (tropics) I always find a way to enjoy sun to it's full capacity also...
Most of the time it's not always confortable (because people around) but with some know how I get by all the time... and no tan lines.. 
peace

Corasol,
Don't worry mate you'll be in Sydney very soon. We had temps up to 34C (93F) on the harbour today. I even managed to spend the afternoon on Cobblers Beach. There were plenty of people down there enjoying the warm weather... Seemed like there were a lot of tourists there too.
What type of sail boat do you have?
Cheers,

I find most nudists even local ones only like to meet on accident by that I mean when I go to a nude beach here and see anyone at all they are ok talking while there but will never allow you to know them outside of that one moment. They can be in my opinion almost phony or fake. Even if you talk to them and actually get along and click dont matter outside of the one time at a nude beach they want nothing to do with you. I love being nude, Love going nude but find more and more that other nudists are not very freindly.

As a matter of fact, when I searched it, nothing came up. So I googled it and I found a thread in these very forums saying the same thing, that the link doesn't work anymore:

I bought into the whole ... "naturists are the nicest and friendliest people ..." thing in the very beginning. Yes ... you will find more people "willing" to engage in conversation with you at a nude beach as opposed to a textile beach but I've also learned that just because "we" take our clothes off, we don't drop our prejudices, negative opinions, dislikes, annoyances and rudeness with those clothes.
We are people, normal, everyday people. The only difference from us and them is that we like to be naked and we like being naked around others but ... we are also the same people whether we are naked, dressed, at home, at work or at a nude venue. If you don't like or trust certain people, you're not going to change that opinion or philsophy just because you and "he/she" are nudists.
There are many stories I can relate, but won't, how this very issue has come into play with me, with us and with our nudists friends. People that are friendly nudists ... are friendly people period. Those that are nudists but not friendly ... most likely aren't friendly with their clothes on or they are either very suspect of everyone and trust no one ... at first.
I think the latter is what's become of our human nature ... to be distrusting.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!

I guess Fireprof I would love to live in the world of every nudist is a nice person and willing to be freinds away from the nude beach. And being most nudists are in the closet about it, they have that fear of oh my god please dont let this person see me in walmart,target etc and mention to others I go nude. In my beginning stages I was like that fearful of anyone knowing I went nude but now bring it on I dont mind a bit I tell everyone ,relative,freinds etc.

I wear a lot of nudist/naturist t shirts. Most of them are from resorts were we've stayed but others have sayings on them like ... "Life's short, Drive your Silverado Naked", "Golf Naked", "Surf Naked", "Nude Attitude Car Show" ...
I am always hopeful someone in line at the store or Target, will say ... "I've stayed there!" I think it would be great to know others in the area that are nudists.
Now ... becoming "friends" is another thing. There needs to be a connection other than nudity to become friends with someone. Just cuz you're both nudists, doesn't automatically make some one a friend or someone you'd want to be friends with. We have many nudist aquaintances but if we hang out with you, give you our personal information, such as phone number and email ... then we are accepting friendship because we have something else in common besides the enjoyment of being nude.
We have friends that we met at a nude beach years ago. We did have a few things in common but we were a little older and we had kids and grandkids ... they had neither. We became very busy with our grandkids and subsequently lost contact with them. It's sad because we do consider them friends but since we had "other" commitments and were always busy ... they seem to have gone a different direction.
They introduced us to a nudist family. Very nice couple and their kids. I think we would have gotten together with them with our grandkids but ... again, this family and us didn't have anything other than "kids" in common and so ... we lost contact with them as well but ... for a time, they too were friends.
Both couples were very nice but "I" made the first move toward communication. If you find that they don't want to communicate ... then they probably fall into one of those categories I mentioned but with these two couples, as I began to walk away, they instituted and continued the conversation and I led them up to the chairs to meet the Prof.
I'm a friendly guy and like to meet people and talk to them wherever we are. I remember a couple of younger guys at our beach that didn't want to give me the time of day until we took our daughter's and their friend to the nude beach with us ... then these two guys acted like I was their best friend! LOL
Luckily ... the girls caught on, went for a walk and they guys returned to their towels, never to be heard from again. Made "best friends" and lost "best friends" all within about 30 mins! hahahahaha

To address the OP's query: if you live in CA, this guide is about all you need for finding a beach:
http://www.sfbg.com/nudebeaches
Renobiker, our experiences have been very similar to Fireprofs. Just being nudists is not enough to become friends outside of the beach/resort. For example, there are a few people on our local beach that we just don't click with; we are cordial, but that's about it. Whereas there are others (couples mostly) that we have become good friends with and get together at other places because we have lots of things in common. Just like in "real" life. And I'm sorry to say it, but single guys are at a disadvantage here. We don't have many single guy textile friends either. The old adage "three is a crowd," is based on human nature I believe.
Speaking of which, Fireprof's story about the guys becoming friendly once they saw his daughters is so funny (and true). The same thing has happened to us. I sometimes go to the beach alone and there is one guy who would not even look at me due to the fact that my dog shook off on him once. Then when my wife accompanied me one day, he suddenly had a change of heart. He learned my name and says hi every time he sees me now. In particular, he enjoys talking to my wife, ha! Our daughter and a friend came alone to the beach one day and he was so friendly to them that he drove them off the beach. Hmmm... Needless to say, we probably won't invite him over to hot tub anytime soon.

Having been both a family social nudist and a single male nudist, I have found the contrast to be stark and disheartening.
As a family, at the resort, other women would just go up to my wife and start talking to her. She was like a nudist magnet. And I would meet their husbands as a result. Clusters would sometimes form around or close to us with other nudist couples. Other parents would invite us over to their home so our kids could "hang out." We "clicked" with one couple with kids, but ironically, our kids didn't click.
Our best nudist friends were actually an older couple. Interestingly, we had almost nothing in common outside of nudism. But we did have the same approach to nudism, a nudism with less boundaries. That doesn't mean we threw etiquette to the wind; it simply means we didn't worry so much about the way we layed around on the couch, passing physical contact or sending mixed signals. And except if we went out to eat, we never wore clothes around each other. Not as much as a sarong or T-shirt. A couple of times my wife even drove with our friend nude to the resort so she wouldn't have to take a break from being nude along with her during our stay. It was kind of a bond thing. I think nudism can be the only link to another person/couple, if it's a shared personal vision of nudism.
Now, as a single male...forget about it. The hesitation to talk to me and suscipicion is almost palpable at times. I'm also a buddhist, and I've never encountered this in buddhist circles. I guess it's because buddhism has a spiritual basis; nudism has first and foremost a physical basis. Which is why nudist are quite often neither more open-minded or unprejudiced than their textile counterparts. As a single male nudist, you undoubtebly have to develop thick skin and a flippant nonchalence. Otherwise it can be a depressing occasion.
