More Monterey County Nude Beaches

This beach is famous for sunsets, but it may too cold to disrobe. This is not the same place as Pfeiffer State Beach. This beach is on federal property.

Laws regarding nudity at the naturist beach vary by location and fines are stiff in some places. I have made every effort to provide accurate information, but the responsibility for knowing the law at Pfeiffer Beach is yours. 

Nude or naturist beach neophytes, please be respectful of others and read the Nude Beach and Topless Beach Etiquette guidelines before you go to a nude beach and check the nudity laws too.
