I don't think Carolina Beach is c/o friendly.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Try whispering Pines Nudist Resort in Ocean Isle, NC. It's near Myrtle Beach, SC. It's not a beach, but has a nice pool.

Bird Island is great. My wife and I and alot of our friends have gone for years.The dunes are great for couples you can be alone or get on the beach and be social when there are no clothed people coming up the beach,you can see them a mile away.Park at the pier at sunset beach Bring a bike a backpack full of your things and a towl to lay on. We are so glad that we have this Island.

A very very good beach. Never had a problem there with anyone.Laid back. The nude section is from the kindred spirit mailbox to just before the rock jetty.Never even heard of the beach patrol giving anyone a hard time,It's just common knowledge where the nude section is.Been here since 1986.

I saw this old post today. I posted this message last year, and after our trip (without finding a nude or topless beach - sad to say) I forgot about it. Now I'm just curious about how or why it returned to the top of this thread?
No problems - just technologically curious.

Your only choice is Whispering Pines Nudist Resort in Ocean Isle, NC(40 minutes from Wilmington).It's not a beach, but has a nice pool, and large deck for sunning.

Hi, saw your post. Have been to Bird Island couple of times. Almost deserted. Would like to go when more people are there. Going to Myrtle coming Saturday for a week. Any idea what day there would be most (or some!) people at Bird Island?

If you want to go a little further and go towards Tabor City, NC, there's a nudist resort called Coventry Resort <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> which may be in the process of changing hands. It's a great club with a friendly group of people who will make you feel welcome. There a nice L shape pool and a club house with a DJ for Saturday night dances

I go to Bird Island aka "Jay Bird Island" up to 30 days a year by boat. While I don't mind the nudists there as long as they are discreet, I'm troubled by the creepy guy(s) I sometimes see popping out from behind the dunes and looking around with binoculars. People come there by boat that don't know this is a known nudist spot and walk with their children East down the beach toward Sunset beach, and I've seen some folks get quite upset about what their children saw.
Now, before you start giving me the business, I'm on your side -- I'm just saying that some folks need to be more discreet otherwise they will ruin a good thing for everyone -- including me and my dog when the State cops start patrolling there.
My $.02
There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

There are some nude beaches as posted before...some do take their four wheel drive truck all the way to FOrt Fisher and go all the way down (approximately 4.5 miles) the beach is near deserted. Other than that..just like the other posters stated...Lea Island, Masonboro Island or WHispering Pines in Ocean Isle. Avoid Bird Island...too many families and gawkers!

Compliments of ( http://www.topfreedom.com/okra.html) 9/03 My girlfriend and I recently spent 4 days on Ocracoke Island after researching the beach on this site and other online forums. We were not disappointed to discover that the reports were true. Besides enjoying the wonderful island community, we spent 3 days tanning on the beach at several different locations. The first day, she wore a bikini and quickly shed her top to tan while laying down. When people walked by, she rolled over. For our remaining visits, she wore just a thong bottom. We felt comfortable walking the beach and swimming in our skimpy attire and no one had a problem with it. Several guys blatantly stared at her but no problem. We met a great lady, also from NC who was also topless every day and visits often for the freedom of Ocracoke. --Jay, North Carolina 8/02 This time my wife and I spent a week in Ocracoke, NC. She went topless every day on the beach between ramp 70 and 72 (south point road). Didn't seem to be much of a big deal. The last day we were there, we were about 1/4 mile north of the south point road beach access, and there were 2 other topless ladies on the beach (within view), plus my wife. Totally laid back atmosphere, as usually you have some distance between you and anyone else. No problems at all. Hope others will enjoy Ocracoke like we did. --Jeff, Richmond, Virginia 8/02 My wife and I just got back from a week's stay on Ocracoke Island North Carolina. The whole beach on Ocracoke is national seashore. It is legal to go topfree anywhere on the beach. This was confirmed by a park ranger who stopped and talked to me while my wife was roaming the beach looking for seashells, topless and in her thong. This was her first experience topfree and in a thong. She loved it and enjoyed it all week. She wants to go back this summer. We saw other topfree and thong people while there. You can be as discrete or open as you like. There is plenty of beach for privacy. Cape Hatteras which is just north of Ocracoke is also national seashore. About 25 miles of beach is driveable with 4 wheel drive. --Andy, North Carolina 8/00 My wife and I went to Ocracoke this summer and she went topless everyday on the National Park Service beaches that run the length of the island. We used the beach areas that 4-wheelers are not allowed on primarily between the Hatteras ferry and the Pony Pasture. Did not see many other topless women. Other clothed beach walkers looked at my wife topless but did not seem to care. Topfreedom seems to be pretty well accepted on Ocracoke. Even saw one other topless woman at the lifeguard-protected beach near town. Park Rangers totally ignored topfree women and men in thongs. --Rick, Asheville, North Carolina 1/00 My husband and I go to Ocracoke, and are never bothered when I go topfree. The rangers will wave when they ride by. They will however cite you for full nudity. It is a wonderful place to go topfree . . . no one cares. --Elaine, North Carolina 1/00 My wife and I love to go to the Outer Banks, NC. We go 2 or 3 times a year. We ride the ferry over to Ocracoke Island and park at the 1st parking area and walk south. My wife can go topfree and not worry about any thing. We will go back in May. --Dman 11/99 Last year we stayed a few days in Ocracoke (an island) which is very deserted. I ask at the motel if it was okay for Jason and me to just wear our thongs at the pool, and the manager didn't have any trouble with that. We also spent several hours a day on the beach in just our thongs. --Traci, Ohio

Don't mean to hijack the original post....but.... My wife and I will be heading down to this general area this July, actually will be staying on Topsail Island. Looking for someplace we can sneak away from the crowds and sunbathe. I noticed on the map about 4 miles of undeveloed beach just south of Topsail Island and north of Figure Eight Island. Looks very secluded from Google Earth, anybody have any info on it?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Are you familiar with this area? Is it a good place to do some nude sunbathing and skinny dipping? Where can I catch a boat ride across the inlet? We'll be staying just south of Surf City. Thanks, The Greenhorn

Here's the most recent info on Bird Island. Within the past couple years the island was sold to the state of NC. While Sunset Beach has local ordinances against topless, thongs, & nudity, Bird Island is governed by state law. Thus it's legal to sunbathe topless & in thongs on Bird Island. However, it is illegal to be totally nude there.
Even though the area isn't enforced by state patrol, there are the rather rude folks from the Bird Island Preservation Society taking turns patrolling. I had one old-timer from the Society start yelling at me that it's not a nude beach then I turned over and showed him I was wearing a thong and he just said "OK, you're covered up". While the B.I.P.S. has no legal authority they are a pain in the butt. I don't mind them informing those who are nude that such an activity is illegal, but when they start harassing women who are topless and/or in thongs then next time I won't be so courteous back to them.

It used to be that the naturists stayed up by the dunes and the families walked by the water. Severe beach erosion took away the buffering distance, and I could see that it was only a matter of time before there was a confrontation. Is it possible to sunbathe discreetly, between or up in the dunes? Can I carry a towel to the water's edge, drop it for a dip, and re-cover as I come out? Maybe I should borrow a canoe and paddle over to Masonboro Island? Wish I had a motorboat!

We had a pleasant surprise on Topsail this past week. My wife and I walked out to the southern tip of the island at the inlet and happened upon another couple with the female half going topless. There were a couple fishermen in the distance, but my wife immediatly removed her top. We moved closer to them, but respected the other couples privacy and kept our distance and enjoyed the morning, her topless and me in my speedo.
The next morning we went to the same location, but were alone except for the distant fishermen, so again she went topless and I in my speedo. It wasn't long before another couple came past and set up their towel and gear not too far from us. My wife was a little irritated since there was plenty of beach to spread out on, and they set up just down from us. I reminded her, "Isn't that what we did yesterday???" And sure enough, within minutes the female of the couple removed her top. We both enjoyed a laugh, shared a glance and a wave with the other couple and continued to soak up the sun, sand and waves of the beautiful Carolina coast.
