This is to place on record my support for your demand for the designation of a section of beach as a clothes-optional or naturist area.
I believe that this is a simple question of taking a pluralist approach. Both those who wish to be naked on a beach and those who find such behaviour offensive have a right to expect that there will be areas of beach reserved for them. There is no reason why uniformity need apply to every beach since there are plenty to choose from.
