SHARE NOW

CASPERSEN BEACH IS APPARENTLY GETTING A NAME FOR ITSELF ON THE INTERNET THAT THE LOCALS DON’T SEEM TO LIKE.  ACCORDING TO THE HERALD TRIBUNE, THE BEACH IS ADVERTISED ON A THONGBOARD AS A PLACE TO GO FOR NUDE SWIMMING, BUT IT IS NOT DESIGNATED AS SUCH, AND THERE IN LIES THE PROBLEM.  A NUDIST GROUP CALLED SUNCOAST NATURISTS HELPED CLEAN UP THE BEACH AS PART OF THE BEACH WALK OVER THE WEEKEND, AND THEY SAY THEY USE THE BEACH BECAUSE OF ITS REPUTATION.  HOWEVER, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BEACH THAT IS DESIGNATED AS A NUDE BEACH, WHICH THEY SAY WOULD MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY.  THERE IS ONLY ONE BEACH IN THE ENTIRE STATE THAT IS A DESIGNATED NUDE BEACH…HAULOVER BEACH IN DADE COUNTY…AND THE NATURALISTS SAY THAT’S THE MODEL THAT THE COUNTY SHOULD USE IN DESIGNATING A BEACH HERE.  LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE UPSET WHEN THEY SEE THE NUDISTS, AND SOME HAVE GONE AS FAR AS HANDING OUT FLYERS TO THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT WANTED THERE.
