2nd annual
NUDE PEACE DAY
at Baker Beach, SF.


You're invited to get bodypainted for freedom and peace, on N u d e Peace Day, the second Saturday* of each October, at Baker Beach, San Francisco. Adults of all genders and orientations. Free (BYO). Take #29 Muni bus to Baker Beach (either of two stops; ask driver); or bike there; or walk from Geary Blvd. and 25th Ave.
Walk to northern parking lot, which has water fountain & toilets. From parking lot, walk north on beach (toward Golden Gate Bridge), thru prude zone and into clothing-optional zone. Then visually follow the cable fence (separating usable beach from protected vegetation) until you see a Leather Pride Flag (bearing a red heart, with stripes of black, blue, and white). If you don't see the flag yet, just enjoy the beach on your own. Look again for flag, or bodypainters, each half-hour, especially near the log stairway.
No reliable time can be guaranteed. We hope to be there by 2PM, possibly earlier. Rain cancels.
[ *8 October 2005; 14 Oct. 2006; 13 Oct. 2007 ]
