Going to a nude beach can be a lot of fun. Contrary to what others might believe it is not about sex. A nude beach is about freedom and enjoying nature. There are some rules of proper behavior that first-time nude beach goers might not understand. Knowing what is allowed and what is not can make a first time one in many future fun filled excursions to the naturalist side of life.
No Pictures
More than in any other area of life taking pictures of others without their consent is understandably an understated no-no. People go to a nude beach to feel unencumbered and free where they do not have to feel embarrassed about their bodies but even if you are only taking pictures to remind yourself of a wonderful time in the future the possibility of others being passed around or posted in today’s online virtual world makes a camera an unwelcomed sight at a nude beach.
Sex on the Beach
That might be a popular nightclub drink but it is strictly forbidden in most public areas of nude beaches. The beaches are family oriented and nudity is not treated as a sexual exhibition but rather a natural display of free and natural living. Some beaches combine clothed and nude visitors alike and even all nude beaches will not welcome sexual activities in public view.
Public Seat
Always have a towel handy to place between yourself and a public seat such as a bar stool or restaurant chair. It is considered proper nude beach etiquette to place a towel on all public benches or other common sitting arrangements too so that others feel comfortable using the seat after you.
Gawking
While some beaches do not make any rulings on passers and gawking some strictly prohibit staring to help maintain their guests ease. Knowing what the rules of your chosen beach are can help you prepare in advance according to how comfortable you are with being nude.
Don’t Leave Without Your Clothes
Make sure you dress whenever you leave the established areas of the nude beach. Strolling into clothed public areas like Quebec City hotels completely naked can greatly undermine the activities at local nude beaches causing public outcry against the establishment.
Keep it Clean
The best way to enjoy the wonders of nature is to keep it healthy. Pick up all of your garbage and be kind enough to pick up any other garbage you happen to see. Keeping everything nice and clean will ensure a long life for the establishment and a more enjoyable vacation for you.
Pass It On
Since most nude beach etiquette is unspoken let others you know who are going to be taking their first nude beach vacation in on the secrets. Passing on knowledge of the common sense etiquette will help make sure they have a good time and will spread the word about the enjoyment of a nude beach to others.
Have Fun
Don’t bring your fears and worries with you. Shed your clothing and your notions of propriety in regards to nudity and relax. You will be surprised at how quickly you find yourself having a great time and not even thinking about the clothes you left behind.
A nude beach is a wonderful way to experience the sun and crisp ocean air. Enjoy yourself and make sure you act in accordance with the above guidelines to let everyone else enjoy their time as well.

No pictures! Let’s get real. The law and the Constitution is clear…anything that you do in public, people are free to take pictures. If you decided to go to a public nude beach, you are giving consent to you having your picture taken and the photograpgher is free to do what they want with the pictures.
