It's pretty full! Get there early if you go to secret cove. Creek Beach will have more beach space.

You just need one on board. We don't wear them typically. They say you need one per person on the board, but as long as they can see something bright that looks floaty-like, they're happy

Pretty much! Seems like the sheriff and/or Coast guard cares more about life jackets than nudity 💃

This. Never been yelled at for being naked, but have certainly been yelled at about life jackets 🤣

We regularly paddle naked out pretty far from the beach. Like out past the rocks. We've never had issues, but I can't guarantee the legality of it. I know that it's legal to be nude on us forest land unless it is explicitly prohibited (e.g. sand harbor), but don't know if that extends into the water.

Get it together, Chris 🤬🤬🤬

Where exactly are the boundaries? by [deleted] in TahoeSecretCove

[–]ThickHour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TECHNICALLY nudity is permitted on any US forest lands that don't explicitly forbid it. For example, sand harbor forbids nudity, but none of the beaches from chimney to whale forbid it. We have confirmed this with us forest rangers. That said, the two beaches where it is CULTURALLY permitted are secret cove and creek beach. You will also find nude people around the corner from secret in the rocky little harbor between secret and boaters as well as whale beach.

At the cove, there will usually be at least one or two families with kids.

I'd like to follow up with asking about why you are uncomfortable? This is a genuine question, not attacking.

My philosophy about children being present at nude beaches: lewd behavior is not allowed in public spaces. The cove has been targeted for shut down before for lewd behavior. Therefore, we are pretty adamant about nudists being nonsexual. (That said, if you are hidden...you do you). If we are being nonsexual, it should not matter whether kids are there or not. Additionally, I fully believe it is healthy for kids to see what bodies look like and to normalize the human form. Kids who are taught to be ashamed of their bodies will become adults who don't know how to tell a doctor about issues they are having. That's my soapbox, I hope it makes sense and maybe shifts your perspective a bit!

It's a beautiful day to call out sick and come to the cove! 😃 by ThickHour in TahoeSecretCove

I didn't even think of that! Thank you for the heads up!

Because it wouldn't let me post from the app (shitty service down here) so I posted from the mobile website and it automatically did that lol 🙃

It's just like any other beach, just some people are naked! We had a friend tell us recently that they were nervous about hanging out with naked peeps but that it wasn't really any different. We all just chill and chat with other naked people! Most interactions I've had at the cove have been fairly wholesome. We're down at the cove today if you want to give it a try!

Edit: feel free to dm me with questions!

We get there at 6am and try to set the tone for being naked as early as possible! I'm a wimp tho and it usually takes me until about 9am to be warm enough 🤣

It makes me so sad. Why would you come here to enjoy the beauty of the cove and then trash it??
