BOOK DESCRIPTION
Its supporters call the nude beach a paradise - healthy, beautiful, liberated, removed from the inhibitions and deces of the clothed world. Its opponents condemn it as corrupt – a continual orgy of perversion and a destroyer of moral values. Is it either? Neither? Both?
This is an inside book at the nude beach, often told in the language of the people who go there. The authors describe those who use and abuse the beach, its physical setup, the day to day happenings and interactions, and the politics that threaten it. The fact that nude public places exist can mean many things to different groups in our society. Indeed –if the present affluence of America continues – the authors suggest nude beaches may well proliferate. Thus, the nude beach could be a vanguard of changing lifestyles. But whatever its future role, the nude beach is certainly a phenomenon of today... and that's hard to ignore.
