We have some good news for coastal residents: during the summer, warm weather and at least 10 clothing-optional swimming holes await you just a few miles inland. Directions to them follow below. Tip: bring lots of suntan lotion. After all, when it's in the 60s or 70s near the sea, it may be in the 80s to even 100 degrees to the east near the towns of Blue Lake and Willow Creek, which figure prominently in our listings. Coming from the coast, the first place to enjoy nude swimming and sunbathing is this beach overlooking the Van Duzen River. On a weekday, you may be the only person present.
Legal status:
Unknown.
How to find it:
Take Highway 101 north to Highway 36. From Bridgeville, drive downstream to Goat Rock, then look for the nude beach on a ribbon of sand along the river.
The beach:
Bring water shoes, old sneakers, or flip-flops to wear in the river so you won't get "rock burn" from the pebbles in the water.
The crowd:
A huge gathering would be 15 people. Most likely, there will be only a few people present.
Problems:
After rainy winters like the most recent one, beware of rushing, sometimes hazardous water; rocks in the river; needs better directions.
