A popular clothing-optional area of Area “G” on Sandy Hook is often frequented by tourists. This section of Gunnison Beach is not actually designated as clothing optional, but there are no restrictions against it. The Park acknowledges the popularity and history of the use and advises unfamiliar visitors of this activity through signs.
