I Went to a Nude Beach and...

Walk around completely stripped down in public? Sure, let’s try it 🤷‍♀️.

My friends and I daringly agreed to explore a clothing-optional destination in La Jolla called Blacks Beach.

I’ve never been to a nude beach before, but as someone who operates under curiosity, I’ll try most things and this was definitely one of those things.

While the appeal to go was brought on by curiosity, there was another part of me that felt this was a necessary adventure I had to experience.

In the past, I would have rejected this opportunity, as being undressed was not something I felt comfortable doing—let alone in public.

But after spending years healing the relationship I had with my body, this seemed to be a step toward even more liberation.

And that it was.

The only thing I wore that day was sunscreen, a hat, and sheer confidence. It was pretty much like any other beach day, except some bodies were clothed and others were not and there wasn’t any weirdness about it.

An opportunity to be surrounded by people unapologetically revealing every part of their being, with the invitation to do the same is one I highly recommend. 🖤 It’ll encourage you to shed your inhibitions and personally I think we could all benefit from more of that encouragement.
