Betsy Malloy, a freelance travel writer and professional photographer in California wrote down the
Nudist Beach Etiquette - A Guide to Nudist Beach Behavior. What do you think about it?
"If you've never been to a nudist beach before, here are a few guidelines:
Gawking is impolite. If you want to go to the nudist beach for a thrill, do everyone a favor and buy a magazine instead.
If you're sunbathing nude in a secluded area, leave a bathing suit somewhere to let others know they are approaching an unclothed person. If you're uncomfortable having your suit out of reach, bring a spare.
On a wide open beach, position yourself in the open so you can see people coming and put something on before they get there if you need to.
Ask for people's consent before taking their photograph nude.
Get dressed before you leave the nudist beach.
Be friendly, but respect others' rights to privacy.
Avoid sexual activity. It's illegal and offensive."
