Won't You Save A Special Light For Me?

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, Portland, Maine

There is only a ten minute drive between the Portland Head Lighthouse to the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in  Portland.   As we travel the coast into the South Side of Portland, the views are spectacular with sailboats in the cove surrounded by million dollar mansions. The lighthouse was completed in 1897 and is one of 49 caisson-style lighthouses in the United States that visitors can walk to. …

Where is the best nude beaches in USA

hey well, that's subjective and i haven't been to them all - i can say what i love, have loved, and want to love someday.

California has some of the best. But Southern California is tougher, especially with so many more places in Northern Cali. And I'm in SoCal. So we have hot springs, like the paradise that is Deep Creek. And we have Blacks beach near San Diego, and we have a beach like More Mesa near Santa Barbara or (my favorite) Pirates Cove up near Pismo Beach. San Onofre Trail 6 was the best, but while you can still use it, the public has been driven off mostly.

I have loved the NY/New England places, though they can be tougher to find, and don't have the eternal season of nude beaching in Cali. I have loved Sandy Hook in New Jersey outside NYC, and (now defunct) Lighthouse Beach on Long Island. Love the skinny dipping spot The Ledges up in Vermont.

I want to love Hippie Hollow in Austin Texas, and Wreck Beach up in Vancouver (not USA!) and Haulover in Miami.

I love every nude beach and hot spring spot in Oregon - and Red Rock Beach in Marin north of San Francisco, and Boony Doon near Santa Cruz, and ...

Love keeps spreading and growing like that. I hope nude beaches in the USA keep doing so too. We are at a transition point I think in this culture. Either the nude beaches will keep shrinking in number and availability as they have been doing in the US for the last 20 years. Or the change is coming, and they will expand again. Real access to naturism will be recognized as a social good and right, and provided. Choices preserved.

New England isn't just all scenic lighthouses, but we got quite a few here. This is the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in Portland, Maine, and this little sparkplug-style lighthouse shines its light onto Portland's harbor. Connected to Fort Preble, which is now part of the Southern Maine Community College campus, and is a nice area for a walk along the shore or a picnic in the summertime.
