Fellow net rec.nudies, now that summer is not far away up here in coldland, I'd like to know if anyone knows of other "free" beaches in New England besides Moonstone Beach in R.I.? I've heard that the far end of Plum Island is deserted and you can be clothes-optional. I also checked out Drake's Island beach in Wells, Me. Although Lee Baxendall and some weird signs by the parking lot entry attest to nudity at Laudhalm Beach end, I didn't see a soul doff his/her suits. This also occurred three years ago at Block Island; don't believe everything you see! David C.

I visit Plum Island a few times a year and they have a very explicit anti-nudity policy, at least in writing, and they patrol the beach several times a day in a Jeep; rec.nude always seemed excessively risky there. But did you read about the recent announcement by the management of National Seashores that they would henceforth take a tolerant attitude toward nudity? (Do they know about this in Washington?) Then they came back and said that it didn't apply to Cape Cod, which has its own, stricter, rules, although at the same time they don't often arrest people there, just threaten them.

It is on the far end of the island. There are clay baths there where you can paint your bodies with lots of colors from red to blue to black and white. Does anybody know of any lakes or beaches in the Conn. area (preferably Hartford) where one can be, as an immortal philosopher once said, "free?"

From what I have seen, there don't seem to be any "offically accepted" nude beaches in New England. Of course I may be wrong about that, but if there are any, I have yet to discover them. As previously mentioned by others, the rangers are rather strict on Cape Cod, which tends to be aggravating at the very least. I guess the best we can do here in New England is to find our own private spots, out of the way of the compaining general public. There are a few places along the coast, particularly in Maine, where there are few enough people around to allow us to do what we want. Additionally, there are other scattered spots I have heard of inland, but these are few and far between. sigh... -- Network: decvax!cca!heiser USPS: Bill Heiser, PO Box 3202, Peabody, MA 01961-3202
