San Onofre Beach at Trail 6 has been a clothing-optional haven
for nature lovers for over 30 years. Now the the California State Park
System is planning on taking away this small stretch of
clothing-optional paradise unless we all speak-up!
On May 19th
2008, Ruth Coleman, Director of California Department of Parks and
Recreation had issued an order revoking the longstanding "Cahill
Policy" as it applies to the San Onofre trail 6 area, effective Sept.
2, 2008. The day after labor day.
Allen Baylis, an attorney,
said the naturists have a right to be nude at Trail 6 because of the
Cahill Policy, written in 1979. The rule states that "enforcement of
nude sunbathing regulations within the state park system shall be made
only upon the complaint of a private citizen. Citations or arrests
shall be made only after attempts are made to elicit voluntary
compliance with the regulations."
