Far Beyond Public Nudity
firecat
last summer the RCMP began making attempts to curb this behaviour, these
attempts resulted in a number of arrests. our summer is just beginning,
i'm quite certain that the RCMP will pick up where they left off last
year.
the story you tell indicates that the arrests are warranted...if these
people were simply lying on the beach sunbathing nude, i wouldn't have any
problem with them being there, but public sex is different...they should
get a room...
i'm sorry that you were put in a position where you had to see that type
of thing in our province...crystal crescent, from the third beach out, is
the only place in nova scotia that this type of thing occurs, as far as i
know...we have many other areas in our province that are beautiful, offer
similar activities, and do not have the 'show'...i hope you and your
husband will visit again, and take advantage of the other areas halifax
offers...

Gottingen Street and get mugged, would you blame Nova Scotia for it?? There are
thousands of other places in this province to go, but you went to a place that
has a history of controversy. Why not go down to Peggy's Cove and get sucked
into the Ocean by the waves, even though it is well known how dangerous it can
be there, if you get too close to the shore! Don't blame Nova Scotia, blame
yourselves!

Crystal Cresent beach is known for it's scenic views, but the tourist bureau
should have warned you that the third beach is used by so-called "nudists".
It's been all over the news the past few years as the RCMP tried to crack
down on the illegal activities in the area, some people using the beach are
true naturalists but many are just drawn for a cheap thrill.
Sex on the beach in plain view of everyone (including minors) is obviously
against the law and it's people like that who instigated the crack down.
I agree with the sign recommendation, and a brochure at the tourist bureau
couldnt help either.
I'd recommend writing a letter to the Chronicle Herald
http://www.halifaxherald.com , the NS tourism page at
http://explore.gov.ns.ca/ and http://www.novascotiatourism.com/ and whatever
other organization you can think of. Tourism is a big part of the industry
around here and your story should be given some attention.

Mr. +G
actually happened.
Why, one tiny reason. our pesky friend the Black Fly. Everyone knows that
its been a VERY heavy year for them.
No one, I mean no one, is going to be wankin' in the woods this time of
year. Now if this was in July, you may have had me believing this.
Heather Morrison
regularly. Yes I came in contact with nude guys walking around or
sunbathing..never have I seen any sexual behaviour. I did have one very
funny experience though...at the end of the beach ..heading up the trail
into the woods..my dog ran ahead..now she is a 100lb bouvier. She has a bad
habit of sniffing peoples butts. ..I look ahead to see what she is up to
just in time to see her run up to an unsuspecting nude guy walking into the
woods..and with her lovely cold wet nose...she sniffed his butt!!!!...of
course he shrieked...and when he got over his shock and I managed to call my
dog back and quickly apologize..we both kind of stood there a bit
dumbfounded..then we both broke out laughing.....it truly was a unique and
funny experience..and I was glad the guy saw the humour in it too..I
finished the walk with the dog on leash...as is law now.
Anyway..there was far too much detail in that post ...maybe it is somebody's
excuse to write about sexually explicit behaviour.
I'll be in Europe for most of the summer..hanging out at a beach in many
places in Europe means nudity a lot of the time...
Anyway..blah blah blah Crystal Crescent Beach...this is just the beginning
of the posts that will probably appear this summer.

I can't tell you.
Ha ! This was great ! Was this an essay for a creative writing
course or is the bad prose your own idea ?
First of all, The Nova Scotia Department of Tourism is not in the
habit of recommending Crystal Crescent as a hiking destination. If
you were able to prove that you had been referred to this beach by a
specific person at Tourism, most likely that person wouldn't be at
Tourism very long.
Secondly, The trail you so blithely followed terminates at the third
beach. After that it is quite difficult going even for experienced
hikers but darn near impossible for people just stumbling around .
Finding the outward path from the beach on the other end is not in the
least obvious. Following it when you do takes a concerted effort
because it is part bog, part mud and part dirt with many many roots
and the whole thing is quite closely grown in with schrubs and sharp
branches. Not the well groomed paths that Tourism likes to point
people to at all.
Thirdly, you show very poor judgement. If you were that offended then
upon arriving at the third beach you would immediately spotted the
nude bathers and turned around. But the amount of experiences you
recount are in their totality unbelieveable, you never learned that in
a writing course - keep it believeable is the first motto.
Your whole narrative is suspect as are your motives for writing it.
The perverse pleasure you take in describing each lurid detail is more
akin to a voyeuristic fantasy than it is it to a traumatised victim.
Why don't you troll elsewhere.

It reads a little like a sex starved parish priest recounting sordid
confessional tales ostensibly to chastise his parisheriners, building a
pathetic middle aged chubby as he slavers over every detail.

Aren't you coming on a little strong? If this lady was having fits
because people were down on the sand beach, nude, merely sunbathing than I
would perhaps understand your reaction, but sexual
acts/masturbation in a [yes out of the way, but nevertheless] public
place? I completely sympathize with her post and am very grieved that
they had this negative experience. I hope she has not let it 'turn her
off' to the whole province.

Jeffrey Hinchey
Gomorrah from a modern perspective. Ummmm.
Obviously Crystal Cresent has got a little worse than in previous years,
and yes, the tourist bureau should be honest and put a disclaimer not only
on the brochures, post signs, but maybe flog the whole concept a little.
Are you a pervert? Sexually frustrated? Weigh 300 LBs and like to jog
nude? How about if you are an exibitionist, and have lots of guys
masturbate while you have sex with someone? Nova Scotia now has the beach for you!
So I guess that it getting tourists is not a problem for Nova
Scotia after all. It is just getting the right ones.
On a personal level however, this whole beach is so sad. How could
someone, man or woman, find a guy wearing only a baseball cap, t-shirt, and a pair of
sandals appealing. Oh wait, did I mention that big blotch of white sun
screen cream on his nose? That did help a little I guess.
I mean, how terrible is it that some men have been reduced to going to a remote place like
Crystal Cresent to get a glimpse of women breasts. For me, after the
first 100 pair so so, they are pretty similar. So I have to think, these
30 year old men, really have been deprived in life. I feel sorry for them.
And exactly how basic is a man's life been reduced to, when he has to go
wandering around naked hoping that someone will give him oral sex? Does this person have no personal
pride?
And who's young son is this anyway? Is it a son of someone here on this
news group?
So maybe instead of arresting people, human services should take a little
pity on them and start some kind of outreach program to help find out what
these people are missing in their lives.
Maybe send out a bunch of psychology students and make a summer employment study of it. Take
people's photo's, interview them, and then publish the finding with names and
addresses, and their life experience in the local papers. This way their
relatives, girlfriends and boyfriends, will know some of their particulars
to help them through their life problems.

Nevertheless, Bill has a point: people who don't live in Nova Scotia
shouldn't be determining what's okay in any part of Nova Scotia.
Personally, I found Gweneth's post to be well thought out,
intelligent, illuminating (I didn't know the extent of the sexual
activities at Crystal Crescent), and respectful of our province in
general. Were I in her place, however, I think I'd chalk this one up
to experience and avoid that part of the beach on any future visits
(rather than filing an official complaint).
She's right about one thing though: "Much of it is, at best, a form of
sexual assault." I myself don't really have a problem with those who
want to be nude there or those who want to have sex on the beach or
whatever. But if I happened to be approached by one of these
individuals -- someone who looked as if he wanted to "include" me
(even indirectly) is his activities -- I Would have a problem with
that. Gweneth obviously experienced some of that when exhibitionists
there decided to masturbate "at" her. Unfortunately, if an official
complaint is filed, the RCMP aren't likely to distinguish between
those who wish to sunbathe nude and the rest. Maybe they could have
the beach designated as a legal nudist area and regulate it somehow??
And frankly, I've run into stranger behaviour downtown on a Friday or
Saturday night. At least the Crystal Crescent exhibitionists have
the... uhhh, I'll say "decency," to find themselves a place that's
well out of the way.

If the post is a troll, I'd suspect that the writer's motive is to
defame the beach in an attempt to get it shut down... possibly some
fundamentalist who'd like to see nudism dealt with more harshly. I
don't get the impression that the writer got any perverse pleasure
from posting it though.

I've noticed that this year and last, mosquitos have been out in
record numbers... a number of horseflies too. I tend to dress fairly
heavily for summer weather -- full-length pants, typically a light
jacket (not much of a sun worshipper) -- yet even on a brief walk
through a shortcut to Bayers Lake, there are still times when I just
can't get away from clouds of bloody mosquitos.

nudity but it is not common to see people engaging in full sex acts on the
beaches. Maybe in party places like Ibiza. Nudity is not always part of a
sexual experience. I think this is a confusion a lot of North Americans

Wow. Nice. Never been there but as far as I can tell ALL european cities are
amazing with their history etc. A close friend recounts how she spent time
in Greece, walking topless on the beach for days, until one day she
encountered a male acquaintence from Halifax and was MORTIFIED, quickly
covering up in embarassment. Funny eh? Hope you have a terrific stay!
Cheers,
John
