Gunnison Beach is located in Monmouth County, New Jersey and is part of the Sandy Hook unit for the Gateway National Recreation Area. It is also the only legal nude beach in the whole state of New Jersey.
The beach was named after the Gunnison battery, a fort used to protect the New York Harbor during war times. The remains of the fort can still be seen, but not available for tourist use (they could still be pretty dangerous). The fort was part of present Fort Hancock, but was then made for a Nike missile defense installation. It was converted into a beach where the soldiers swam in the nude.
By the end of the 19th century, New Jersey had passed a ruling that prohibited all types of nudist and naturist activity in other activities on state beaches or municipal beaches. Gunnison beach remains to be the only legal nude beach in everywhere else. It is a clothing-optional beach however. This means that naturism is not compulsory, but one may opt to wear something. Be warned that most nudists would take this as an offense however, although the lot would just wave it off as modesty
The clothing optional beach offers a great view of Lower Manhattan and of the Verrazano Narrows. The beach is a sight to see (perverts stay away) during the summer months. At least five thousand come to see and congregate in these bathing grounds.
Gunnison Beach observes the usual rules of beaches. Trash is carry in-carry home. Means, you bring your trash with you. No littering, and no leaving of things behind. Glass containers are strictly prohibited, and alcohol is allowed, though one should drink moderately. Photos require permission from those in the photo. No lewd behavior should be displayed and respect local laws as well. Politeness is compulsory, and aggression be avoided in all levels. - 16887
