My quest to locate the unclothed beach at Assateague Island Maryland
Assateague Island Nude Beach - I have recently become an active member of the naturist community, and I have become completely infatuated with everything about it. Then when my family asked me to visit Maryland with them for a couple days, I immediately attempted to learn as much as I could about Maryland's nudist clubs or naturist resorts. To my surprise, after much internet research, I found practically no info about them. Nearly no information, because the most surprising bit of information I was able to find is the playa I've been seeing since I was a little kid has its very own "unofficial" nudist beach.
At one point in time the sand, known as Assateague Island, also a National State Park renowned for the wild horses, had been a highly popular bare beach. In 1984, a spiritual group from Virginia lobbied the Virginia area of the shore to pass an anti-nudity ordinance. Since that time, several naturist communities have set up on the Maryland side, making Naturist Portal's Nude Year in Review of Maryland. There, naturists love the independence that they want.
I completed my research on the naturist clubs by locating a number of different websites that gave me directions to the plage. My family and I piled into our mini van to begin our quests. They were looking for ponies; I was hunting for nudies. After a twenty-minute ride from Ocean City, we eventually arrived at Assateague Island National Park. After we paid a little parking fee into the park, some rangers directed us to our destination.
We began to head out to the main strand area when we seen wild horses near the campgrounds. We got out of the car to shoot images and were stopped by a park ranger telling us we had to remain at least ten feet from the horses. It was at this point after I decided to inquire the park ranger about the nude beach. He said the beach is photographers as Wilhelm Von Gloeden and Guglielmo Pluschow in order to . I refused to believe him. In the end, why would there be an anti-nudity ordinance on the Virginia section of the plage? We ended taking pictures of the horses and move ahead.

We finally ventured onto the main sand. I packed my water bottle, iPod, and towel, and then set out on a quest to find the infamous naturist beach. I walked for about twenty minutes northward on the beautiful shell-scattered sand, my feet lazily cooling in the ocean. Now I quit; the sand was still buzzing with fully-clothed families. Possibly the bare beach was a myth after all, or at least, no longer existed. I determined to keep going since it was a beautiful day and I had nothing left to lose on the venture.
The plage was less packed as I walked another half hour, until ultimately, there was almost no one else there. Then all of a sudden, a soft ball rolled past my feet followed by a naked man chasing it. I picked up the toy and threw it back. I grinned. I was finally in the appropriate spot.

I spread out my towel, took off my bathing suit, lay down and let the exhilarating feeling of naked liberty overtake over my body. I took a deep breath knowing I could finally relax. And as though on cue, three wild horses came walking out from behind some of the tall grassy dunes. Each of the people on the beach went over to hang out with the horses. We even got to pet them before they drifted back over to the bayside of the island.
After some time enjoying the independence of the beach, many of the nudists began leaving. I decided it was probably time I also left to reunite to my family, all the while knowing that I am going to be back to this fantastic playa oasis of serenity and tranquility.
