In this section of the web site we will be discussing the merits of returning the northern end of Bates Beach to clothing-optional use, as it was for about 40 years. You may encounter pictures of normal people just like you having fun on the beach playing volleyball, romping through the surf, or laying in the sand. Only they are doing so without the restriction of clothing.

Our intent is not to offend you. but to show you have the beach was run successfully for over 40 years. If you are offended by frontal nudity, you should use the menu above to return to the other sections of this web site. And if you are looking for sexual content or innuendo, you have definitely come to the wrong place!

You Don’t Have To Be A Nudist Yourself To Support This Proposal!

Local governments routinely set aside land for special use such as dog parks, tennis courts, municipal golf courses, bridle trails, paintball areas, etc. Those who believe in clothing-optional recreation believe that have the same right. A Zogby poll foud that 80% of Santa Barbara residents agreed with us, and that number rose to 98% when the designated beach has proper signage to alert others it is nearby.

On these pages, we will explain why this is idea benefits the beach and the city of Carpinteria nearby from both a financial and law enforcement point of view.

We also examine what the law is in California and in specific municipalities nearby. We also cite several recent court cases that makes the 1977 Santa Barbara ordinance out of date.

We also discuss the impact of other nude beaches and hot springs and show how they bring law-abiding tourists and revenue to their local communities.
