Just got back from my first visit in 14 years to Bird Island. It's no longer an island, but it's connected to Sunset Beach. During my four-hour visit, there were many walkers, some bicyclists and a few joggers who went all the way to the end at the rock jetty. Only about five people were nude, and they were discreet. It was almost impossible to go into the water nude with so many people around. A better option is taking the water taxi from the Blockade Runner at Wrightsville Beach for $20 and riding over to Masonboro Island. For the last two years, Pea Island has been a good spot, too.
