Summary
Black's Beach in San Diego, known for its popularity among surfers and nudists, became a nude beach due to the liberal thinking on the nearby UC San Diego campus and the end of the counterculture movement. Despite the controversial decision, it was voted to be the only legal nude beach in the country at the time, and even though nudity was eventually banned on city beaches, enforcement remains challenging.
