I have had a few people say to me that they bet I am happy that San Onofre nude beach down by San Diego County may be closed by the state. They said "more business for me."
That is so untrue. Only about 15% of our business comes from Southern California as we're the ONLY nudist resort west of the Mississippi that caters to couples on vacation. Southern Californians normally just want to book us only on Saturday nights like typical nudist resorts, where guests from around the world like to book us 7 days a week. That's why we have one of the highest occupancy rates of ALL hotels in Palm Springs.
We have had lots of guests who have booked us Sunday thru Thursday nights and then go to San Onofre for the weekends when it has nude sunbathers.
Lots of people like nude beaches, so I am sad if it is not reopened to nudists.
Here is the story:
"Naturists lose court battle to keep O.C. beach nude
Group says it will likely appeal to California Supreme Court in case involving San Onofre
A group of nudists who want to keep San Onofre State Beach's Trail 6 a clothing-optional beach have lost their latest legal battle, after a panel of justices at the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled that a policy that addresses nudity at state beaches is invalid.
The ruling favored state officials who last spring decided to crack down on a more than 20-year tradition of nude sunbathing at the 1,000-foot stretch of beach.
Huntington Beach attorney Allen Baylis, who led the fight against the ban, said the Naturist Action Committee will likely appeal their case to the state's Supreme Court.
"It's time for the (Department of Parks and Recreation) to realize that one of the reasons San Onofre has so many visitors is that there's a very popular clothing-optional beach there," Baylis said. "The people who visit Trail 6 pay their admission fees and buy their annual passes, which contribute a significant amount of money to the department and the local economy."
...Officials said the naturists have to adhere to a code in state law called nudity prohibited, which states that "no person shall appear nude while in any unit except in authorized areas set aside for that purpose by the department."
...Stearns also said the new superintendant's decision to ban nudity at the beach came after an increase in complaints about the influx of people to the area in recent years, stating that the area is no longer remote.
Some in the naturist community disagree, however..."

I hope the California Supreme Court is more enlightened then the court of appeals.
