Marin County to crack down on nude sunbathers

MUIR BEACH, Calif. — Officials are trying to curb lewd conduct at a longtime nude beach north of San Francisco after hearing complaints from a group of local residents.

Marin County plans to put up signs warning sunbathers against sexually explicit behavior at Little Beach, situated in a Muir Beach cove just north of the main beach.

The signs will advise people on how to report violations to authorities.

At a community meeting Tuesday, Muir Beach resident Laura Pandapas complained that her neighbor saw a nude sunbather pleasuring himself on the clothing-optional beach.

Residents who complained say they are satisfied with the warning signs for now, but could seek to end nude sunbathing at Muir Beach if the signs don’t work.
