BAH, Clothing optional beaches are there for EVERYONE to enjoy....not just guys who want to run around with erections. Some of the comments here are correct, that a number of people, time and money have been spent to open and keep open nude public beaches. It would only take a few individuals writing letters or protesting to shut many of them down.....Do the needs of the few out weight the needs of the many? If you want to sport wood and show it off, then do it somewhere more private. A PUBLIC BEACH is not appropriate. I am all for everyone having a good time. I am all for everyone enjoying the view of nudity, but I want that option for everyone, not just you and a few dudes. Blacks Beach is a beautiful place, but so many of my friends refuse to go because of the perceived PERVERTS who are there running around with erections and having sex in public. They are destroying this pristine beach experience for others because they are selfish and cannot control their sexual urges. Just because someone is nude does not automatically mean they want SEX. Grow up and realize there are more people out there and some just want to enjoy being on the beach with their family. I go to Haulover in Miami and believe me, our beach patrol will shut you down and escort you off the beach if there is inappropriate behavior. I LOVE Nude Beaches and yes, I agree that the occasional boner does happen. We all have to be grown-ups and cover up or haul your butt into the water to cool down. I might suggest if you want male-male action at a nude beach you might want to visit Fire Island or some other GAY Themed area.
