Virginia is for Lovers, But Not Nudists

The owners of Playa Sonrisa clothing optional resort in Mexico thought that a remote area on Assateague Island in Virginia was a nude beach. They were wrong, so Donn and Cindy Murphy were fined $250 each by a ranger for "indecency and disorderly conduct as defined by local law", even though nobody but the ranger saw them, and nobody complained. They have written an open letter to the state and citizens of Virginia, FCN, TNS and AANR.

Murphy called the crime "victimless" and the regulation "misguided." He said his purpose in writing about the incident now is "to be proactive in effecting a change in legislation and park management policy in order to eliminate similar unnecessary negative impacts on other naturists in the future."
