Comments on: Trip Reports http://www.hauloverbeach.org America's Best Clothing Optional Beach Sun, 24 Jul 2011 21:10:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: jrgflint1 http://www.hauloverbeach.org/trip-reports/#comment-9 jrgflint1 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:40:16 +0000 http://www.hauloverbeach.org/#comment-9 I was in Miami from Feb.20 - 27, 2011. The weather was marvelous, 80ish, clear skies and a nice breeze. I spent 4 afternoons at Haulover(part of the reason I was in Miami)and really enjoyed myself. This was my first ever trip any sort of public clothing-optional area and I was amazed at casualness people exhibited about being nude. There was very little gawking & no promiscuity; just people enjoying the sun and the freedom of being without clothing. There were many regular visitors, obvious by their deep allover tans, and some of them gathered together to chat. Nobody was unfriendly towards me and after the second day even nodded as I came onto the beach. I felt so instantly comfortable that before I set up a chair and umbrella I stripped down. What I really found surprising was the age of the people. I'm 63 and no longer the handsome devil I once thought I was but I fit right in. While there were some young people there I'd guess the average age of the group was probably well above 50. There are a couple family and couples-only clubs but we have no such places in Michigan for single people to go. I know of a couple of beacheswhere I can enjoy a naturist afternoon but, tho they're hard to reach, they're public so therte's always a bit of a risk involved. I like Haulover because that tension was not present. I enjoyed my afternoons at Haulover and fully intend to visit more than once a years. JRG from Flint, MI I was in Miami from Feb.20 – 27, 2011.
