Nude sunbathing has been banned on beaches all along Fire Island, Newsday reports:
A decades-long tradition of nude sunbathing on Fire Island beaches is coming to an end this summer: Fire Island National Seashore authorities have announced plans to enforce long-standing laws banning the practice…
…Koschmann also said some social media sites carry invitations to meet for public sex on the beach.
The fact that public nudity is illegal in New York was another compelling reason to change the policy, since FINS maintains joint jurisdiction with the state, she said. The ban also will be enforced at four other Fire Island beaches where nude sunbathing is known to take place — including the tract of land in front of Sailors Haven, from Point O' Woods to Cherry Grove.
