I'll cost you more than just the extra suntan lotion if you try to get away with nude sunbathing down at San Onofre State Beach, according to the OC Register. The former clothing-optional spot is being watched by local authorities, who have issued their first citations to beach-goers in the buff since state officials launched a crackdown (no pun intended) two years ago. Los Angeles resident Andres Garza got the first ticket, which is a misdemeanor that could cost him about $500, and another suit-less sunbather got one over the weekend. A side note: For gentlemen who prefer gentlemen, San Onofre was one of our picks for the 5 Gayest Beaches in SoCal.
