People including nudist go to the nude beach to see other nude people. Most 1st timers are very nervous and decide after a few minutes whether it's for them or not. What you realize if you stay is that you will see the same people you would see anywhere else except they are nude. Most are surprised that it's an older crowd. The strange thing is that once many decide to go nude, they think everyone is going to stare at them, lol. Unless you have a figure like a super model or have some extraordinary feature it's not likely..Most after they calm down feel like kids again, discovering something new and can enjoy they're new found freedom and come back at a later time. For those who don't stay it's something to tell the folks back home about.
