I made it ...

For the longest time, my nudity has been limited to my house, backyard, or remote areas with no one else around. Back in May, I was working a job in Alabama and had a 5-day weekend for Memorial Day. I had done a lot of research on the web about "clothing Optional" beaches and naturist/nude clubs and had read about Haulover Beach, so decided to go there for my first time.
So, I made the trip down there, but after checking into my hotel (which SHOULD have been fairy close to Haulover) I realized I didn't have internet for directions so I just walked down the beach. Needless to say, I didn't find it. The next day I DID find it. (Got good directions this time.) The parking area was arcoss the street from the beach and there was an underpass for pedestrians. When I got to the high shrubbery (to block the view rom the traffic) I saw a sign that said "You May Encounter Nude Sun Bathers Beyond This Point". Right behind the sign was a naked man taking a shower, so I figured I was in the right place.
Well, I took my cooler, chair and towel down to the beach, found a nice spot and set things up. After everything was set up, I took off shirt and shoes. So now I'm standing there in front of my chair and I said to myself, "Well, this is what you came for. It's now or never." And with that, I dropped the shorts and folded them up with the rest of my clothes. So now I'm standing on the beach, totally naked fpor the first time. What a feeling.
I spend a few hours there (as the previous day was wasted on a wild goose chase) before I had to hit the road. But on the way out, I got a flyer that talked about Apollo Beach. Since it was on the way, I decided to stop by and check it out. It was a good drive off the interstate, but I made it, stripped down and spent a few more hours in the buff.
After the job in Alabama ended, I went back to California and decided to visit as many clothing optional beaches as I could before the next job started up. So now I'm hooked, just like just about everyone else on this website.
