What can you tell us about them?
Ah, after you remove the sand and the water, you leave nothing to the imagination.
A lot of people have sores and other icky-looking things on their butts.
They’re the most fun you can have with your clothes on … oops, that’s not right.
I’ve vacationed a nude resorts six years in a row. I’ve consider an “Ask the …” thread, but IRL I’ve long since gotten tired of the sophmoric questions.
After the first time, I said I would never vacation at a resort that wasn’t nude again, and so far, I’ve held to it. The freedom of swimming and sunning without a wet swimsuit is liberating. Imagine being a kid again and going skinny-dipping in the ocean.
Do you have specific questions, or would you like a shotgun asnwer to all of the usual questions?
When I went to Greece we went to a clothing-optional beach. The only people who chose to not wear clothes were highly unattractive. It was a letdown.
- At a nude beach, you feel really ridiculous with a bathing suit on.
- At a nude beach, you see people’s faces, as if for the first time.
- Once you adjust to being nude, you begin to see how perverted bathing suits are.
Thirty five years ago, my girlfriend and I parked the car on the coast and started hiking down to a beach we hadn’t been to before. She asked me if I thought this might be a nude beach. Just then a spectacular black man appeared around the cliffs, loping gracefully along the surf line. He had an extraordinarily long cock, which pranced around like a spare arm as he jogged rhythmically along.
“Yes, I believe it is.”
It’s my beach experience of choice, we have a local one that’s pretty good. I find that nude people look just about what you would expect based on seeing them in shorts and bikinis, once the novelty wears off it’s no big deal. Yes I look at a pretty girl, but I would do the same at the clothed beach, so I’m really there for myself. Of course, just knowing what I’m doing to the foam and spittle crowd is worth the price of admission.
They’re seen as exclusivist in Spain… after all, most beaches are clothing-optional 
Sand gets into everything!
Do it for yourself - if you are comfortable being nude its liberating (so I’m told, I like my clothes on in public).
Don’t do it to gawk at beautiful women, unless you are private beaching at some beach populated by the young wives and mistresses of really rich men. Most people at most nude beaches are average. Which means there are a lot of middle age stocky women and middle aged wrinkled flabby men.
Unless you are at a resort that sells sex, expect people to be doing the same things they do at any beach. Walking. Sunbathing, Swimming.
Expect chafing.
Don’t drop your sunscreen in the sand.
Don’t sit in the sand.
Don’t get sand on your hands.
Don’t get sand on your towel.
In general, a nude beach would be nice if it weren’t for all the fucking sand everywhere.
This is the classic shibboleth about nude beaches, although in your case, it was more than that.
But after you get used to being at a clothing optional facility, you’ll find that it’s just the same typical run of humanity that you see on the street every day, only without clothes. IME the people I met and saw were not fatter or thinner or better looking or worse looking, then people I see every day at work.
I wish I had access to a nude beach; I wish there were a beach somewhere in L.A. County that was designated to be nude, and people who didn’t want to be there or expose their kids to nudity could just go elsewhere. All I ask is a kilometer or so of beach.
Wouldn’t that make it more of a nude pool? 
Yes, perfect! Where do I sign up? 
Exactly. You shouldn’t be doing it to look at anyone else anyway. It is a fantastic feeling to be outdoors nude, and an even-all-over tan is nice.
And make sure you put plenty of sunscreen on your tender parts that probably haven’t seen daylight since you were 2. I didn’t think of that the first time I went, and oooo boy…
That’s one (of many) reasons I like my favorite resort. When you’ve had enough sand and solitude, you can wander over to the pool for a cool dip and some social interaction.
The all nude environment seems to provide a self-selecting mechanism whereby the people who are inclined to be disappointed that the naked people aren’t all beautiful people and aren’t all parading for their viewing pleasure tend to be absent.
What you’re left with is a group of open-minded, accepting, fun, non-self conscious folks that are fun to socialize with. They tend to be older (30ish to 50ish), well rounded (ha - a pun), and diverse.
You either get it or you don’t, it’s hard to explain.
I would add that if you’re interested enough to ask, you should probably try it; go be a warm feral mammal basking in the sun like a cat and get back to us.
The only time I was uncomfortable was when a naked woman started cavorting on all fours with her Alsatian. It was very disconcerting.
Or maybe I’m just a perv.
And if it’s not on the beach, put a towel on the chair before you sit down.
What I like to say is that nude beaches, parks, pools, whatever…are the second most fun thing you can do with your clothes off.
