A very popular nude beach. In fact, it may the most popular nude beach north of San Francisco. Get there early on warm summer days.

Who's at Red Rock Beach: Often crowded, up to 300 users on a really nice day
Families, tourists, some gawkers
Very social and almost everyone is nude
Red Rock Beach Facilities: None. Nearest restrooms are at Stinson Beach
Red Rock Beach Activities: Frisbee and sunbathing. Swimming not recommended
Red Rock Beach Ratings: See what others think.

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 Red Rock 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.
