San Gregorio nude beach to close for construction, reopen under State Parks

About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming changes to San Gregorio nude beach as it transitions to State Parks management and the implications for its clothing-optional tradition.

One of California’s oldest clothing-optional beaches is entering a new phase. What began as a conservation deal has now moved into construction, public access planning, and a possible transfer to State Parks. The changes are practical—roads, signage, fees—but the implications run deeper. This episode looks at how formalizing access reshapes a place that has long operated on informal understanding, and why the next few years could determine whether its nude tradition continues.
