Not to dissuade you from attending Evan's event, which I would personally make the effort to attend if I lived even slightly close... but in case you have trouble getting there, there will be 2 other open events nearer to you in the Bay area. At Lupin Lodge (Los Gatos) and Sequoians (East Bay). You can check the various events at https://skinnydipday.org/events
6713 Rincon Point Lane, Carpenteria, CA 93013. The Meetup event is linked in the post above and has explicit instructions for reaching the far north clothing optional portion of the beach. It’s a bit of a haul to walk up to from the parking lot.
thats a little further than I thought, thought it was more in the LA area for some reason haha, oh well I'll def have to keep it in mind for the future so I can plan it out a little sooner.
Several times you refer to Skinny Dip Day as happening on 7/13, whereas the narrative points to the second Sat in Jul. Which is correct this year (2025)?

As a community who inherently cares about ending body shame... we must be involved in this practical matter of ending such horrific body shame.
