San Onofre Nude Beach Trip

This day trip is to a pretty much nude-only section of beach, however some do wear suits. (But just don't be surprised if someone wants to take it off you if you do wear one!) ;)

We have 1 car, at least, leaving from S.E. Garden Grove headed out to San Onofre with room for 2 more guys! This first car is not asking for gas money, but we're not above donations. ;)

We want to try to arrive there around 10-10:30, so that there's plenty of parking not too far from the last entrance to trail #6 ! -It takes 45 mins. to an hour+ to get there, typically, from this West-Central O.C.

This beach has a long history of nude use just past the end of trail 6, and since the State Parks decided to frown on nudity, people still go there and go past the small fence that marks the beginning of the marine base land, but the MP's only rush you off if you're there on a weekday when they have live fire exercises.

Plan to bring sunblock, hat and/or sunglasses, a towel and/or beach blanket, your own non-alc. beverages, and lunch or a snack for yourself, plus anything else you might want at the beach, like maybe sandals.

At last notice, the rinse-off showers at the parking area were turned off, but a short distance away is San Mateo Campground, and they do have showers there indoors, in pvt. rooms, so share a shower if you like! (Expect to see a fee of about $0.25/2 mins., but there is hot water, unlike at the beach!) San Onofre State Beach parking is $15/car, but there's no fee due from our group.

We're suggesting a possible stop somewhere, perhaps at In 'n Out Burger, for a bite on the way back... I think there's on around San Juan Cap. if I remember right. -We can coordinate at the beach or in email and plan our stop if you want to dine as a group.

FYI: There are no restrooms on the beach... Many use the little grottos along the cliffs for #1 however. We will probably plan to leave late afternoon, but it depends on weather conditions and how late everyone wants to stay.

NOTE: The event will be cancelled/rescheduled if it's supposed to be too cool or rainy.
