Nudity Ban at San Onofre State Beach Goes into Effect
Last Update: 6:34 am
A policy change banning nudity at San Onofre State Beach went into effect this week but won’t be enforced until September.
Park rangers are giving nudists who frequent the North County beach nearly three months to get used to the change, which went into effect Monday, before misdemeanor citations are issued, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Officials told the newspaper that the decision to end the beach’s longstanding nude status was made in response to complaints from the public as well as some state beach employees who object to a workplace where not everyone is clothed.
No other state parks frequented by nudists, including Black’s Beach at Torrey Pines State Beach, were affected by the decision.
San Onofre State Beach is sandwiched between Interstate 5 and the ocean, along a narrow 3.5-mile stretch near the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
