Lovely, thanks Dan, very helpful to hear your experience and thoughts. Yes it does get busy doesn't it... if you haven't managed to get there early enough then maybe it can be helpful in a way, because at least then you have a crowd around rather than being the only thing for people to see! Don't know if I'd prefer to be the only one on the beach, or hidden in a sea of people.
Makes sense about the in-between area - I guess if a person is on the main beach close enough to see a bunch of naked people then I guess they can't be too worried about things.
You see I have no problem going nude on the naturist beach, but I'm pretty awkward talking to new people (go figure) so as long as "questions" aren't constant then it seems like it should be ok. That's why this helps
