I'd been a home naturist for a while but wanted to get out and experience naturism in the real world. I decided I'd go to a quieter beach. I didn't realise how much walking would be involved so I'm walking for 30 minutes and I've not seen anyone but textiles. I didn't feel confident or comfortable stripping off next to textiles so sat in my shorts, had a swim then went home feeling deflated. It wasn't till I got home that I realised I went the wrong direction when I got to the entrance to the beach. The next day off I had I went back and in the right direction this time. I made my way along the beach found a few people spread out set my towel down towards the back off the beach and went for it. Once I finally stripped off I felt awkward but soon realised no one was bothered. I went for a swim and laid in the sun for a couple hours. It felt amazing and freeing. I was hooked.
