nudist beach

One of my most frequent lunch times runs is from Takapuna beach to Devonport.  I like it because it is entirely on the shoreline right next to the water.  In some places you must traverse rocks and avoid high tide (see below).  

I think I enjoy it so much because it's a little adventure every time. Not to mention, I am still 100% enamored and amazed by everything to do with the ocean and beach.  

Yesterday I ran into, almost literally, 2 nudists.  One minute they are swimming in the water and the next minute the 2 gentleman are walking out of the water in all their glory as I run by at that moment

.

I admit that there has been 2 previous occasions where I have come across nudist sun bathers and  swimmers in one of the most secluded bays along the run but I chalked it up to a random fluke.  

After this third more awkward encounter, I mentioned it to someone and they informed me that it is indeed known for being a nudist area on the North Shore. 

You have to love Europeans and their love of being in the nude. 

This is the beautiful Takapuna beach.  Just over this cliff face is where the incident happened.  See what I mean by traversing rocks and avoiding high tide?  This picture was taken at low tide but sometimes the water is so high that most of those rocks are submerged.
