Title: Nude Beach Borders View count: 2063 Rating: 5.0 (1 ratings) Description: This video has to do with the California Department of Parks & Recreation and their law enforcement tactics on nude sunbathers at San Onofre State Park in California and Camp Pendleton Marine Base. This is just the first couple minutes of a 10 minute video on the subject. We decided to only share the full video with local beach goers of the beach. If you are a supporter of the beach, and a true naturist, you can email sanonofree@aol.com to request to see the full video. If you have never been to the beach or you are not a naturist/nudist, PLEASE DO NOT ask to see the video. Thanks. (You will need a youtube account to accept the invitation to view the full video). MORE INFO: The State is trying to shut down the clothing-optional beach at San Onofre State Park that has been there for over 30 years. There is a lot of misinformation from the Parks Dept. on the issue of lewd behavior at the beach. I'm posting this story/video for two reasons. (1) To demonstrate the illegal, perhaps desperate tactics of the state park rangers and (2) To show that the majority of lewd behavior happens on the Marine beach and that it truly needs to be cleaned up to change the reputation of the traditional clothing optional beach on the state park side of San Onofre State Beach. I was on the beach just about 50 feet south of the federal fence on the Marine base side of the beach (which has nothing to do with the clothing-optional beach on the state park) when a guy came up to me and said there was a person voyeuring on the cliff with binoculars and a camera that had a huge lens snapping photos and or video about 300 feet south of the State Park boundary. The man was definitely on the Marine base up on the cliff over looking nude sunbathers. I looked up and it was definitely a ranger. I discreetly grabbed my video camera and hid it until the right moment and then zoomed in on him. He saw me with the camera quickly, but I was able to get him on tape briefly. He ducked away from my view once he saw me with the camera. The video shows the ranger looking at people through binoculars and he appeared to have a camera as well. Approximately 7 minutes later, the ranger came hauling ass down to the Marine beach in his state park ranger truck to apparently try to bust someone for masturbating on the beach (on the Marine side of the beach). The ranger did not cite the man because state park rangers have no legal jurisdiction on federal land, aka Camp Pendleton Marine Base. Here's the problem with all of this. First and foremost, there is a known ongoing lewd behavior problem south of the Marine fence on the Camp Pendleton part of the beach which is reflecting a bad image onto the state park clothing-optional beach. I spoke with a Marine the other day and he said the general consensus of the Marines is that they really don't care what happens on their part of the beach. Used to be the Marines would sweep their side of the beach here and there to get the civilians back onto the state park side. Personally, I have not seen or heard of that happening this past summer. I spoke with Allen Baylis from friendsofsanonofre.org about this incident shortly after it happened. Allen informed me that the California Department of Parks and Recreation has been trying to get the Marines to allow state park rangers to have legal jurisdiction on a portion of the Marine base to help curb the lewd acts that occur on that part of the beach. My understanding is he would support such a policy, to help with the image of the traditional clothing optional beach. I thought about it, and maybe it would be a good idea. I mean if the Marines are not going to do anything about it, than why not the rangers. However, I am not okay with state park rangers up on the cliffs peeping down at people sunbathing in the nude and taking pictures and / or video of them. Something about that is spooky and just seems illegal to me. The traditional clothing optional beach is a relaxing and safe place for families and good natured people of all walks of life to come and enjoy. The Marine base, again, is the main source of the lewd behavior problem and has nothing to do with the traditional clothing-optional beach at San Onofre. As long as you do not cross the Marine base boundary, you should not have any problems.
