International Skinny Dip Day at Bates Beach

Location: Carpinteria, CA

Help us celebrate International Skinny Dip Day on Bates Beach. Bring your own picnic supplies, chairs, bathing suits and sunscreen and make a day of it.

Remember, the anti-nudity law remains in effect even though we have a verbal assurance we will not be bothered by law enforcement as long as we follow our behavior guidelines. People removing their swimsuit do so at their own risk, and be sure you do so beyond the end of the cement retaining wall on the far north end of the beach. Go as bare as you dare! Your decision, your choice!

At some point we'll get a group photo of as many people there who wish to be included!
