Haulover visit for a first timer

[footyfan]

I was planning on going to Haulover for my first nude beach experience. I have not been able to convince my wife to come yet, and was worried (after reading some posts) that solo males sometimes can be frowned upon or hit on by gay males. If I keep to myself will I be OK or should I wait until I convince my wife.

Hi Footyfan,
I have never been to Haulover Beach. However,
I have been to several beaches without my wife. I have never been approached or "hit-on" by other males. Everyone seems to mind their own business. You have to keep in mind that there are many other guys in our same situation. Not every male is on the hunt. So, enjoy your life on Mother Earth. Most of us just enjoy the soothing touch of the Creator's gifts, wind, sun and water on our skin.

--Peace--

Like you, my wife is not into the c/o beach scene, but I have been to Haulover solo a number of times. There are a number of solo guys there on any given day, as well as a number of couples and families. (In fact, my first nude experience was at Haulover). Don't fret about being alone. I have never been "hit on" by any gays. They are there, but they aren't a problem. This time of year, the weather is wonderful and I suspect the crowds will be large. Enjoy!

Footyfan,
You will have no problems of which you are apprehensive.

Go!

[Sagacious]

I think we're heading down there also. I never saw gay guys hitting on straight guys. It doesn't make sense. There are alot more men there then women so I'm sure your wives may have a problem with that.

[Nude in the North]

Make sure you let your wife know that she doesn't have to be nude if she doesn't want to.

The "couples" area of the beach (near the center) is where you would want to be. The Gay section is on the north end.

My wife comes with me to haulover but rarely undresses. She is happy just knowing that it makes me happy to be there. I can't get her past her "body image" problems.

There is plenty of beach on either side of the nude beach. Maybe you could camp out there and stroll through the "nude section" a few times to get your wife used to it. Don't put pressure on her to be nude. But let her walk with you while you are. Maybe then she will change her mind, or atleast come to understand.

I just got back from Miami and ran away from my friends (they aren't open to nude beaches at all) by saying I'm visiting family and head out to Haulover beach. There are strange guys there, seriously. It is uncomfortable. Although I was never hit on one-on-one, many guys look at you and start touching themselves, lick their lips and one guy decided to set his towel 1 ft. away from me, with his legs facing me. It is very uncomfortable. There was this other guy who was wearing a g-string on back that wrapped around his penis and testicles in front walked around gawking at everybody (an obvious exhibitionist). I would not go back solo and especially not with my wife if who I end up marrying is open to it in the first place!

[Red Baron]

I am surprised to hear about your problems with guys hitting on you. I have been solo to Haulover a number of times, and although I have seen some "strange" folks, I have never had a problem with any one. Maybe you're much better looking than me? Seriously, I hope it was just a one time problem or maybe your first time jitters? Please try again.

Just wondering studentdoctor, where did you sit at Haulover?

[David77]

Studentdoctor,
I am surprised at your negative statement about Haulover. I have never seen this type of thing on the times I have been to Haulover.
Multitudes of fine people go there and have no problems.

[studentdoctor]

I was sitting in what seemed the couples area (right inbetween the most south and north end). These encounters were usually when I was walking around, with the exception of the guy who laid out right next to me and the weirdo with the rubber band around his areas (harmless though I suppose). The other encounters (2-3) with the gay men were when I was walking the beach.

[SunGod]

Sorry but I gotta think studentdocs account is biased. If you were there on any recent weekday with the amazingly gorgeous weather we've been getting, its no big surpirse that you were 1ft away from somebody. It happens alot. Thats not cuz he wants you. Its cuz there is very preceious free sand open to lay on. (Its been 78 and not a cloud in the sky lately http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif ) If his genitalia were facing you and making you uncomfortable, you can always look away, but it might actually have something to do with the location of the sun and how it hits him. If he touches them, it might be to apply SPF50 which is never bad idea for that area. Besides, you really cant look anywhere on Haulover and not see somebodies "parts". It just sounds like it was your first time and you were caught off guard by the place. Happened to me too.

And, if you were sitting by the north volleyball court, your in the "swingers" area, so you will see some odd behavior at times and maybe even chat with some odd folks. You really cant be too put off by folks there, no matter what people are friendly, even if they are a bit odd.

Now, if you go as far south as possible, thats where the more reserved nudists hang out. You wont see the mingling and party atmosphere like farther north. Now, if you go to the trouble of walking all the way north, you will notice that you are in the gay section, you might even get whistled at or hit on. It comes with the territory.

Go back with friends next time or just remember that Haulover is like its own little world sometimes and try to roll with it.

I go to Haulover whenever I am in Miami (about once a month). I am gay and don't usually go to the "gay" area because of things I have witnessed in the past. I usually go to the "couples" area because I am there to enjoy the sun, the beach and being nude outdoors and feel more comfortable in that area. I enjoy nude beaches all over the country and have not once been hit on by another guy. I am told I am very attractive so I don't think it has anything to do with my looks. Maybe someone is putting out the wrong vibes or maybe you just ran into a creep. Please don't put us all in one group. We aren't all out looking for sex 24/7 !!! I go alone because my partner of 12 years does not feel comfortable.

[thonglover]

I've done the same thing in ly visits to HB.
I spent a few occasions at the gay section and other times in the couples section. I wasnt hit on but I WAS eyeballed alot and payed a couple of compliments to but not in a flirtatious way.

Like Kayaker said, try not to label EVERYone in 1 group.

[DoctorSurferDude]

I like Haulover, it's the most accessible and metropilitain nude beach I know of. It's 100% legal and the picturesque sand and water is nice too. BUT....after going there for years and years, with and without female company, I gotta say that on 10-20% of visits your likely to either see somebody being stupid, or get hit on by swingers, or get spied on by voyeurs.

So despite the perfect setting, I don't call it a perfect nude beach because of the company it keeps. It isn't a family environment and if I had kids I'd take them to a few other beaches before I considered that one.

Here is how I would break down Haulover....

55% nudists
30% swingers
10% voyeurs
4% exhibitionists
1% lifeguards/services

[nude305]

I have been over to Haulover plenty of times. I'm str8 and never had a problem. It odes depend where you sit though. There is a well known section where many gays are (North of the Pink Tower). I happen to love the place! You should not have a problem.
