The law
The "law" is a possibly hostile element of your new environment. But it will not be a problem if you first visit a private beach, resort, or club. And remember that the law as administered at many public recreational areas is on our side.
There isn't any countrywide law to ban nudity on federal land. Please check for possible assimilation of a state or county law to a federal jurisdiction and for special federal regulations. However, in general, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, etc. view nude recreation-conducted with discretion and sensitivity for the varying values of others--as "a legitimate activity." In many if not most state, county, and city jurisdictions, the Victorian Age confusion of nude with lascivious is rejected in the courts. Accordingly, law-enforcement personnel generally try to avoid citation or arrest actions that could lead to court tests and waste of taxpayer funds. "Nude is not lewd" is the rule of thumb in these responsible jurisdictions.
Nonetheless, painful and ridiculous incidents still occur. Individuals are misjudged--by elected or appointed government employees--as social deviates for enjoying the victimless "crime" or, more recently the "misdemeanor," of innocent nudity. Archaic social codes and repressive values die hard.
Since 1975 an administrative trend has appeared to ban nudity as such--much as pets, glass containers, or bare feet may be banished--as a nuisance or nonconforming use, with no further reason required. The effective answer to such "mere nudity" curbs will be to demonstrate the community tolerance and support of naturist values. Certainly, the trend is decriminalization and de facto recognition of clothes-optional zones.
An enlightened culture--one providing for individual and minority liberties--lets the clad and the unclad equally share in private and public resources. No good comes from forcing a clothes-compulsive dress code upon all so long as a dwindling majority possibly clings to it. That is not democracy.
It is domestic tyranny.
Provision not only for the diversity of recreational choice but also for the security, access, convenience and site maintenance is the right of every citizen.
The law is not an inherent adversary. Increasingly, law-enforcement personnel and recreation managers are overcoming their timidity before the small minority of zealots who still consider social nudity evil. They should actively promote the principle of diversity of dress codes in recreation-very much as social resources are extended to accommodate both sexes, all races, the handicapped and the well, where tax-obtained funds are involved.
