The Hidden Influence of a Nude Beach in CaliforniaThe elementary school children in California learn the history of their State once they reach the 4th grade. One young man in LA County must have done a good deal of extra research during his 4th grade year. That young man surprised his mother, by showing that he knew of at least one nude beach in California. The same mother offers below some details on a few nude beaches.
In the early 1990s, one California resident took a group of youngsters to a sandy spot along the beach, a spot north of Santa Monica. The oldest of those youngsters had recently turned 11. The youngest was nearing the age of 6. The mother of two of the youngsters had chosen to seek out methods for supplementing the school’s lessons on spelling and reading.
As the youngsters ran around on the sand, that mother found a stick, and she proceeded to write in the sand. Her inspiration had come from a comment made by the youngest in the group. He had said, “New beach,” as his uncle had pulled-up next to the tiny spot of sand. His aunt thus decided to write “NEW BEACH” in one section of sand.
The oldest youngster knew that his mother was providing them with an added lesson. He decided to use her cue as a way to add humor to the afternoon. He took a stick and wrote “NUDE BEACH,” not far from where his mother had engraved two words in the damp sand.
The boy’s mother laughed, but she also wondered how her son even knew that there was a nude beach in California. The family had certainly never been to such a beach. The family had made two short trips to Santa Barbara, and the older boy had once joined his mother for a visit to party in Santa Barbara. All of those trips had taken place before the year 2000. That was before the closure of three nude beaches—Rincon in Carpenteria, Cemetery Beach, off of East Cabrillo Road and More Mesa, just south of Santa Barbara.
Yet the mother did not think that a boy of 5 or 6 could acquire knowledge of a nude beach in California by making a couple short trips to Santa Barabara. She did not know that she herself would later journey up to a spot not too far from the Red, White and Blue Beach. Residents of Santa Cruz know that that is a nude beach in California. Still, information on the Red, White and Blue Beach was not distributed by the travel agency, where the father of the young sand-writer conducted his business.
Now that that boy is grown, his mother sometimes wonders if he has gone to a nude beach in California. Since he works at a computer store, he might have viewed the online information about such beaches. A statement about the San Onefre State Beach claimed that it was the “finest nude beach in California.”
The same web site offers directions to Pirates Beach at Avila. The directions tell drivers to head for Cave’s Landing. They indicate that a turn onto Scaroni Road will take one to yet another nude beach in California.
The mother has now found that information on the Internet. She must thus continue to wonder if her son has spent some time at one of those beaches. Her son might have wanted to recreate the feeling he once experienced, when his grandmother allowed him, at the age of 18 months, to walk naked on her screen porch.
