Suncoast Naturists Adopt Caspersen Beach Shoreline

In May 2001 The Suncoast Naturists formally adopted Caspersen Beach Park and since then they have gathered quarterly to conduct clean-up activities. By signing an adoption contract with Sarasota County, and fulfilling our quarterly obligations, we continue to demonstrate our interest in obtaining a legally designated section of that beach park for clothing-optional use. As of this date the County has not granted permission for clothing-optional use, but we are continuing to strive for that goal. If you are interested in showing your support please contact us at Suncoast Naturists
