Hi all,

I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I just spent a lovely morning enjoying the sun at sunnyside and like the title suggests I have some questions for anyone who has been there before.

I am no stranger to nude beaches, I love tanning all over but this is the first time I’ve been to one so close to a city.

It was super quiet (like 20 people total) and 100% male when I turned up. (Not unexpected, the weather was supposed to be awful today). But is this usually a spot that women and couples go? I know some beaches can be mainly gay men and don’t want to crash their spot if that’s the case here.

The other thing I found unusual is even though I got the side long looks and stares, like no one spoke to me. I am used to at the very least someone offering to help with sunscreen application but I had to struggle on my own. The only man I chatted with was old enough to be my great grandpa and honestly I really appreciated it because like I said first time at this one and I was nervous.

Is this beach not a social one? Is it normal for everyone to keep to themselves?

And finally, and this one I was not so worries about for today, I just wanted to get some sun, but is this a beach people play at? I am absolutely respectful that nudist does not mean horny but I am also partial to some outdoor fun and curious on the usual atmosphere of this beach.

Thanks all for reading this far. Your advice is greatly appreciated xx
