This beach has the feel of a true hidden gem. Soft light colored sand and the water incredibly clear for the Atlantic. Somehow there are no crowds and we had about 50 yards of gorgeous beach. We had seen a manatee swimming close to the shore here a few months ago

Hard to describe the feeling of being able to walk here on the beach au naturel. We love the beauty of the area... and it's other worldly to have such rare moments of freedom when we can feel the breeze, the sun all over. We were also happy to have other nudists nearby; there's a feeling we get of "safety" in numbers that adds to our comfort.
