Nude beaches good for economy, Broward legislators told
Advocate says Haulover Beach outdraws Marlins, Dolphins
A nude beaches advocate presented Broward legislators with some revealing figures Thursday.
They’re good for Florida’s economy, said Richard Mason, of the South Florida Free Beaches and the Florida Naturist Association, who asked Broward’s state lawmakers to oppose any legislation that would force nude beaches to close.
He said the closest one to Broward, Haulover Beach in Miami-Dade County, is an economic engine, drawing tourists from other states and countries to a place where they can enjoy a beach without the encumbrance of clothing. Twenty-seven percent of Haulover visitors come from outside Florida, Mason said.
Mason termed Haulover “the most successful beach in the state of Florida.” He said it outdraws the Florida Marlins and Miami Dolphins combined — a comment that drew titters from the crowd.
I shot my latest ISM at Haluover, yay for public nudity!

Here in CA, there is not a nude beach that I can get to. It kinda sucks. They are all down cliffs and pretty secluded. I would love to go, but I won’t be here.
