Sandy Hook "Au Naturale"

For our friends who shun tan lines, Gunnison Beach section of Sandy Hook National Recreation Area is an "officially" sanctioned, clothing-optional beach! Part of the Sandy Hook unit of the Gateway National Recreational Area, Gunnison Beach is the only nude beach in New Jersey and is the largest clothing-optional beach on the East Coast. Gunnison attracts over 5,000 naturists per weekend in the summer months and is fully sanctioned with National Park Service Lifeguards (no hassels) with facilities at the entrance. There is also a "snack shack" on the beach. There is a large group of volleyball players at Gunnison Beach. The net is in place from early spring to late fall. If you love to play volleyball, come try your luck at beating their championship team. The beach fills so quickly on the weekend that they close it down to car traffic around 11AM - then reopen around 2 PM. Enjoy your beach experience "au naturale!"
