Summary
Marianna, known as the "beach mom" in California, was involved in defending the right to go nude at Moonstone Beach in Rhode Island before moving to the West Coast. At San Onofre Beach, she founded Friends of San Onofre and worked with authorities to allow nude use of the beach, ultimately leaving the group in capable hands when she moved to Tennessee in 2003.
