So several people, particularly women, have expressed to me negative feelings about Baker Beach, esp with regard to gawkers and disrespectful people. That being said, I'm interested in heariong peoples opinions on the best clothing optional public spots in the Bay Area. By public I mean not a commercial or private, paid admission required establishment such as Lupin or Harbin, although I would include Red White and Blue beach, which although it charges fees for use seems to be roundly considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.
I also suggest similar poles - threads for other regions, ie Los Angeles, San Diego, Northwest.

Wed, September 6, 2006 - 7:06 PMThinking of Grey Whale Cove at Devil's Slide? The pass is open again, but was this accessable at all after the mudslides? I wonder if people are returning. It is a lovely beach, though.
I went to Baker today - no sun, to cold for nakedness, but enjoyed a nice walk to the end and back.

Re: Favorite Bay Area spot
Wed, September 6, 2006 - 2:03 PMmy fav beach in cali (and also the first one I went to at 17) is teddy bear cove.
it may have another name and is located north of Santa Cruz on Hwy 1.
The only marker for the beach is a small dirt parking area.
its a little outside the official bay area, but still only 1/2 hour from los gatos.
if it does have another name please let me know

Thu, September 7, 2006 - 9:57 AMRED ROCK Marin is a great beach. It is very social and nice. It is a bit of a hike but worth it.
Baker is ok if your a guy but not great, the woman are on guard because of all of the gwakers.

Re: Favorite Bay Area spot
Wed, September 13, 2006 - 9:42 PMSince I drive in from Sacramento, it varies. If I don't feel like climbing back up the trail from Red Rock, I'll opt for Baker's. Yep, the gawkers are annoying but as a veteran of San Onofre and Black's Beach in SoCal it's not a deal with me (then again, I'm not female ... ). But I do like Red Rock a lot; my only complaint is that since I don't have the opportunity to get there more than once or twice a year I sort of get the feeling from the regs like I'm invading their turf.
