![]() Trash will wash into shore and be left during low tide, only to be taken back out at high tide. This is simply because it is left alone, in other words not maintained. Some might dislike the beach since it doesn't have soft sand and isn't always clean. Saw one ranger ride through the area on an ATV headed south to the backcountry section of the park, didn't seem to mind us at all. Heck most offered to take a picture of me there if I wanted it. Everyone I meet was most pleasant and only cared if they were going to be in your picture. This starts about 20yds or less south from the ramp to the beach, and most people on it will be nude. To start with, yes this is the area with the clothing optional section. I would recommend that you go when it is sunny, breezy, and not high tide. I would definitely recommend you try this beach if you want to nice public and legal nude beach. When I was not on the nude section of the beach, I wore a thong and never had a problem. The shower is not obvious at lot #1 as it is not near the boardwalk - it is next to the toilets across the parking lot from the boardwalk. After I left lot #5, I drove up to lot #1 and got out and showered off (not nude) to rinse the sand off of my legs and feet. I also was able to locate the outdoor shower this time (I asked the Ranger on the way in where it was). ![]() I also did not try to swim and therefore did not get the oyster shells all over me. The sand was still not comfortable, but this time I brought a beach chair so it wasn't really a problem. I did not have a bug problem at all this time, but it was in the heat of the day and a nice breeze was blowing. The beach was much wider because the tide was out, so I was not crowded up next to vegetation, which would have caused bugs to be worse. The people were all shapes, sizes, and ages so the theory that nude beaches are only for old fat men was dismissed with this visit to the beach. There were young (20s) to older people there and I never felt like anyone was gawking or even paying any attention to anyone else. My only complaint was how far I felt like I needed to walk to set up without the likelihood of someone feeling like I was crowding them. Each group was about 20 yards or so apart, so no one was getting in each other's space. Almost every group had an umbrella, chairs, and cooler and probably had been there most of the day. Most people where there either as a couple or with a small group of people. The only people I saw clothed once I was on the beach were people who were walking to or from their destination. ![]() I was lucky in that somebody was leaving as I was arriving so I didn't have to fight it, but the lot was 100% full. First, I did in fact experience the full parking lot that others talk about at lot #5. My experience this time was very different. After my last experience, I made sure to go in the early afternoon on a nice Sunny day and checked the tide to make sure it was not high tide. I had visited Apollo Beach late one afternoon about a year ago and was eaten up by bugs. ![]()
