Judge: Nudists allowed at San Onofre State Beach

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) -- Nude sunbathers can continue to let it all hang out along a secluded stretch of San Onofre State Beach, unless someone objects.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Sheila Fell ruled Wednesday that state parks officials can cite sunbathers and swimmers in the buff only if a private citizen complains.

It's the same policy that has been in place since 1979, but complaints of lewd behavior prompted a crackdown by state parks officials earlier this year. They announced they would outlaw nudity as of Sept. 2.

State parks district superintendent Ken Kramer told the Los Angeles Times that even though they "don't agree" with the court's decision, they plan to follow the judge's directive.
