Apollo Beach is a wonderful Beach, however I know its been quite controversial, especially in regards the problems at Playalinda They were requesting folks not to spend money in Brevard County. I guess everyone was encouraged to spend their money for supplies etc in Volusia county and to be very vocal with the merchants why they were doing this. Has the situation there improved?

There has been a migration north of all the fishermen and crossover. Some are now parking at lot #4 and walk a short distance down lot #4. Rangers have just asked to be prepared to cover if textiles approach

First post of 2019 for this group. We've been here 6 days with 4 to go. All's well esp. since the park service has finally erected a 4x5 ft. sign just ahead of Lot 4 saying "WARNING .. Nude sunbathing may be encountered within Boardwalk 5" In prior years the park service has resisted placing such a sign because it would imply tacit approval of a nude beach. Well, I guess after 10+ years we're now a permanent entity. The terminology is interesting -- "within Boardwalk 5" and not "south of Boardwalk 5". Does this imply acceptance of the nude area growing northward? To be continued...... |

Make sure you add me to that group, Diger! Our group is on KIK, a chat site #Playalindalot13 and also #PlayalindaLocal21andup. Very protected but public group. Some open minded but all in respectful silly fun.
...there are also Apollo groups but none active and too many lurker jumping in looking for naked entertainment.
I would say I'm the senior member, avg age 40s/50s
I still haven't figured out how to insert a file on here. I guess I'm still cyber illiterate... sigh

Looking forward to having at least one burger dinner at the Breakers and, of course, the Taco Shack. Now that the wife has a Beall's credit card some close supervision will be needed.
Great to hear from you the other day and sorry we aren't going to be home would have been great for you to stop buy on your way home. We are having a great time in Hawaii and hope to see you next time.
Wish you would start coming in June again. We will have a group of about 15 with us this June, including our son, his newlywed bride and her 4 year old son plus a couple of textile friends of ours we hope to convert.
You guys would have a blast with our awesome group of friends. We seem to grow in number every year and are actually considering starting a traveling naturist club esp since some of us are approaching retirement.

Well now he is a site I totally forgot. Must be because I used to reply whenever DIGER did. Lately I've been hanging out with a great group of friends at Playalinda just went Saturday got toasted on my rear but enjoyed my 12 friends. I missed chatting with you all and hope to get to Apollo soon.... Pat in Daytona

Thanks for the replies. Should have come back much quicker than I have. Got put off some by the fact that the launch got delayed to Aug 20th. Aug 21st is the total solar eclipse and I just don't see us doing that much traveling back-to-back days, so it's probably going to be either/or rather than both. Not sure which yet. Your replies will be helpful when decision time arrives. |

Playalinda would be about 12 miles closer to the launch than Apollo as long as they don't close for the launch.

I suggest getting up early. Driving down to Titusville. Have breakfast there. There is some decent and cheap places. Go out to beach 13 at playalinda beach. Its the nude area and watch the launch. I have seen a couple launches from there. |

What could go wrong??....sounds like you want to bkfst in NSB then go into Canaveral -- hope you mean the seashore and not the cape. With some previous launches NASA showed up at Lot 5 with trucks and observers the day before a launch and we all had to vacate to Lot 4 for the remainder of that day and all of the launch day. You might want to check with the Park staff to see if that's still happening. Re the presence of textiles.....if you're in the nude section of Lot 5's beach, no problem, but being a launch day, there might be a crowd of textiles in that area too. Normally arriving by 8:00 Wednesdays gets you one of the few remaining parking spaces. Hard to say what'll happen on a launch day. |

Been ages since we've been to the Nat'l seashore. Have in mind to fix that. Here's what I have in mind. It would be a kindness if you'd reply with any corrections/warnings or improvements/suggestions you might have.
We'd probably stop in Daytona for dinner (Bubba Gumps probably) and then stay overnight (August 2nd, a Wednesday) in New Smyrna Beach. Would b'fast before going into Canaveral. There's a launch scheduled from the Cape between 9:02 and 9:42am. It would be great to be there to watch au natural. I'm not very sun-tolerant, so we'd probably be gone by 10am.
What's going to go wrong? How early might we need to arrive at Lot 5 to park and access the c/o section? Does the launch (it is unmanned and a weekday morning) draw enough people to make this unworkable? Does it even draw enough textiles that on launch days nude is unwise?
Thanks for the help! |
