It was my favorite place to come to wind down after a stressful work week, though I didn’t often make it out to this beach. It was long and isolated, way out at the end of the city where it stuck out into the cool Pacific waters, but nowhere else was as relaxing and free from standards as this winding strip of clothing-optional beach. The shoreline curved in and out, creating private little coves and bays that made it even more peaceful to walk along the sand, strip off, and just chill. letting the summer evening sun bathe my tired body.
This time, I walked farther than I ever had, and ended up at what was apparently the very end of the beach, where a rocky outcropping formed a wall on the left side of the beach, and a tall grassy dune blocked most of the view of this cove from the rest of the beach. Drained but delighted to find this little private spot, I dumped my stuff down, stripped off my shirt and trunks, and took a brief skinny dip in the cooling waters. The feeling of that water on my naked body was amazing, but I always loved even more to step out of the water and just stand, letting it all hang out and feeling the breeze slowly dry me off.
