San Diego Blacks Beach

http://www.metnews.com/articles/2009/conf102309.htm

On Friday, October 23, 2009, "The California Supreme Court has left standing a Fourth District Court of Appeal ruling rejecting a challenge to the state’s policy preventing nude sunbathing at a beach in San Diego County." A former state park policy that effectively allowed nude sunbathing as long as no one complained now remains revoked as a result of the California Supreme Court decision. The California State Department of Parks and Recreation in all likelihood will now begin (effective October) in a crack-down on nude sunbathers as the former Cahill policy is no longer in effect.

"Russell W. Cahill was the director of the department when, in 1979, he sent out an internal memorandum setting forth guidelines for enforcement of the anti-nudity regulation, California Code of Regulations Sec. 4322." (Link above to source) The Department, with respect to San Onofre State Beach, which included a section informally set aside for nudity along trail 6, will no longer follow the Cahill policy. The department cited population-growth as the reason. There were no public hearings. There was no input from the public solicited. "In 2008, the California Department of Parks and Recreation announced that anyone unclothed at any part of San Onofre State Beach would be issued a citation." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Onofre_State_Beach#Nude_beach_.26_controversy


The state spent over $40,00 to fight nudists. (link below)

"Recent retirements among those in the CA Parks management team responsible for San Onofre have brought replacements who are intolerant of clothing-optional recreation. Instead of encouraging and allowing the cooperation of naturists in policing illicit activity, Rich Haydon, the new manager who took over at the beginning of this month, has featured the nearby sexual activity in his reports, using it as an excuse to request permission to put an end to recreational nudity at the beach. Haydon has reportedly represented to his superiors that a majority of those who come to enjoy the clothing-optional beach are participants in illicit sex there." (Source link below)
