Popular Nude Beach Cracks Down on Nudity San Onofre State Beach, the 1,000 foot stretch of beach along high rocky cliffs in northern San Diego County, California, is in danger of losing its nude beach status. The state is cracking down on nudity at the San Onofre Trail 6 area, and park rangers have begun warning nude sunbathers that they will be cited in violation of the law beginning September 1. The beach has been popular with nudists for decades, and over 2 million people visited San Onofre last year. AANR supported the Naturist Action Committee (NAC) Action Alert posted in May, along with the efforts of the Friends of San Onofre Beach (FOSOB) and offered assitance. AANR is engaged in ongoing direct discussion with senior staff at the California Parks and Recreation Department concerning nude status at San Onofre Beach. AANR is making positive progress and expects to be able to report on details soon. The AANR Government Affairs Team (GAT) appreciates everyone's support and patience. AANR GAT is not asking for any action at this time. Read more
