Bates Beach Petition To “Make It Official” Started

On April 13, the Friends of Bates Beach division of SCNA launched an online petition to "Make the Traditional Nude Section of Bates Beach Official."

We ask all of our members (and their friends) to log into the web site to add their names to the list.

The petition site is: https://www.change.org/p/friends-of-bates-beach-make-the-traditional-nude-section-of-bates-beach-official.

The goal is to see how strong our support in the community is and see if the time is right to ask the Board of Supervisors to make the small change in the county’s nudity ordinance so that Bates moves beyond its current “tolerated” status to something more permanent. Without a large positive response, we will have to accept our current situation for a while longer.
