Fee, wind, riptides, cold water, summer fog, sex on the beach, not much of a social atmosphere. The skinny-dipping cove itself is charmingly picturesque, but storms have eroded the trail, making reaching it a difficult task. Even so, as recently as last spring, several visitors a day were still showing up on the sand. To find the nude area, on the south end of Pomponio, during low tide walk south along the waterline from the Pomponio entrance. Visitors used to cross the chasm on a board, but it's gone.
Regulars now hop onto a pallet to cross part of the ravine, then crawl the rest of the way.
There's a mile and a half of flat, partially sheltered sand. Be sure to stay away from the cliffs. Swimming while au naturel is not allowed. Car burglaries have been reported here.
