APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AT CLOTHING OPTIONAL BEACHES
  • DON'T GO OUT OF ESTABLISHED NUDE AREAS or wander nude onto a clothed beach or parking lot. Our ability to use the beach nude depends on our staying within the traditional Clothing Optional area. Nudity is only tolerated at San Onofre State Beach south of the wash located about 300 yards south of Lifeguard tower 6.

  • NO OVERT SEXUAL ACTIVITY. NUDE IS NOT LEWD
    However, sexual conduct in any public place is illegal and will not be tolerated at San Onofre State Beach. What does the law say?

  • DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH PEOPLE without their permission. No one wants to end up in a stranger's photo album, and certainly not on the Internet. Hidden cameras are especially objectionable. NEVER photograph children without first asking their parents for permission.

  • RESPECT OTHERS' PRIVACY. Many are at the beach for quiet and relaxing time. Gawkers and pickup artists are not welcome.

  • If a person seems unaware of beach etiquette, explain it, kindly and plainly. Their objectionable or ILLEGAL behavior can cost us this beach. It may be helpful to enlist the support of others when confronting these individuals.
