Naturists on shores are those who are affected. It is not a situation that can be solved by offering an online "meetup group" at One Beach as an alternative for behinds in the sand throughout the state.

GAVIOTA STATE PARK, California - In a particularly distressing recent incident at Gaviota State Park, a California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) ranger hadn't only issued a citation for nudity a citation for nudity on the playa, he accompanied the ticket with a derisive talking to about the moral depravity of those that choose to be naked.
The gratuitous dressing down got the attention of Dennis Craig Smith. A famous writer and long time naturist, Smith heads Friends of Gaviota and is an Area Representative for the Naturist Action Committee. Smith politely asked for a meeting with the DPR management responsible for Gaviota.
Dennis Craig Smith, Area Rep.

Such local assemblies, formal and otherwise, have not been uncommon. Merely a little more than this past year, on July 1, 2010, Smith and a few Friends of Gaviota members had met with Daniel Lee Falat, Superintendent for Gaviota State Park, Refugio State Beach, and El Capitan State Beach, and with DPR's Channel Islands District Superintendent Richard Charles Rozzelle. At that assembly, Falat said that his rangers would continue following protocol that has been depending on the Rich Rozzelle Dan Falat Dennis Craig Smith, NAC Area Rep. Cahill Policy. That longstanding DPR policy accepted nudity, unless a complaint was made. In the event of a grievance, an established procedure allowed for the timely decrease of "user battle," and the following restoration of private liberties for people who choose nudity.
Rich Rozzelle
Having been set in place in 1979 by former DPR Director Russell Cahill, the Cahill Policy allowed a defective but effective means of managing for clothes-optional recreation in units of the State Park system. However, when DPR Director Ruth Coleman signed a directive that terminated Cahill at San Onofre State Beach in 2008, the Parks Department was left without any statewide policy regarding clothing optional recreation. While one national naturist organization expressed the belief that Cahill would stay in force at California state parks which weren't named San Onofre, most naturists recognized that dream to be neither credible nor sensible.
Dan Falat
The Naturist Action Committee has pointed out since 2008 that if DPR could abrogate Cahill at one park, it could do this at any park - or at all parks.
On September 1, 2011, Superintendent Falat and District Superintendent Rozzelle met with Dennis Smith and a little smattering of naturists in the DPR office at Refugio State Beach. Both Parks Department employees showed no reluctance in exposing Falat's self-confidence from a year ago as the outright untruth it had become.
After the meeting, Smith sent an e-mail to members of Friends of Gaviota. "I do wish I had better news to report after our meeting with Rich Rozzelle and Dan Falat," he wrote. "For so long, we had productive meetings with Superintendent Danita Rodriguez and Officer Eric Hjelstrom, but yesterday the meeting signified very well that

Smith continued: "The mantra was: the Cahill Policy is dead, and Regulation 4322 outlaws nudity on state park property.' For decades we loved hassle free clothes optional use and this seems to be on the verge of being a true thing of days gone by. They've closed Trail #6 at San Onofre State Beach to nudity, and
https://nudists-video.net/pins/pins-young-nudist-boys-on-beach.php seems clear they've been intent on doing it on all the other nudist beaches in the state."
An important objective of the assembly was to file anxiety and indignation at the combative and officious manner in which the ranger had addressed the beachgoers to whom he was giving nudity citations. Smith reports that upon reference of the ranger's demeaning morality lecture, "the disposition of the officials turned hostile immediately, and we were accused of 'slandering' their officers." Smith says that Rozzelle and Falat qualified naturists as "being the ones who have been abusive and rude to the park staff, who are merely doing their duty.'"
Smith reminded Falat and Rozzelle of the concerted efforts by which Friends of Gaviota have participated through the years by sticking up for proper standards of conduct on the plage and by arranging strand clean-ups [NAC Newsletter, August, 2011]. Superintendent Falat dismissed the good works with a response that directly compared naturists to felons, saying: "If twenty cocaine users on a strand save a drowning man, we'll still detain em all"
Who's slandering whom?
NAC board member Allen Baylis points out that it was DPR itself that made
https://nudests.net/tube/nudism/young-female-nudist-pics.php into offenders. On one day, naturists were appreciating State Park shores legitimately, under the Cahill Policy. But by the following day, California Parks Director Ruth Coleman - a bureaucrat elected by no one - had signed a piece of paper rescinding the Cahill Policy. Unexpectedly, naturists in State Parks through the entire state were criminals.
Ticketing for nudity is not being confined to San Onofre nude beach and Gaviota. Citations have also been given by DPR rangers at Garrapata State Park in Monterey County and Lake Perris State Recreation Area in Riverside County. Still, those who recently accepted the DPR fiction the Cahill Policy would continue to be honored outside of San Onofre are now expected to adopt DPR's next "endeavor."
"One Beach" is not simply the name of an internet movie that's being sponsored by a vintner. It's the working title of a DPR scheme to close all state parks to clothes-optional use - except for just ONE BEACH. Because the established nudist user group at that special sand doesn't accept the new anti-nudity policy throughout the state, DPR and its accomplice are looking to an online "meetup group" as a replacement.
