I'd like an additional reference for this. I visit Plum Island a few times a
year and they have a very explicit anti-nudity policy, at least in writing,
and they patrol the beach several times a day in a Jeep; rec.nude always seemed
excessively risky there. 

But did you read about the recent announcement by the management of National
Seashores that they would henceforth take a tolerant attitude toward nudity?
(Do they know about this in Washington?) Then they came back and said that 
it didn't apply to Cape Cod, which has its own, stricter, rules, although
at the same time they don't often arrest people there, just threaten them.
