Life's a beach

[Klondike]

OK, this pic shows a little graffiti on the opposite shore. Russian (cyrillic) alphabet? The backwards "R" would suggest Russia, not Poland, Czech Republic or Romania. Check it out.

I also confirmed x-nudism pics from "The Dunes" beach near St Petersburg, so that is my best hunch for location.

Yes, that is the beach I am talking about! You are very knowledgeable, Klondike. I appreciate it.

Something that I saw in one of the pics in the past led me to believe it was in Czech Republic or Romania. I think it was because the girls were playing with a Redox Badminton set or something. I'm not sure, but I searched for what I saw and a bunch of Czech and Romania websites came up.

I did a little research just now about the Dunes near St. Petersburg, Russia. The descriptions I read and pics I saw of the Dunes beach do not match where these x-nudism vids were shot. The Dunes beach looks like it is on a bay or on the ocean, and not straddling a river like we see in these x-nudism examples. Do you have any other confirmed pics of the Dunes beach?

These are the possible locations I've been given in the past:

* Romania
* Czech Republic
* Bulgaria
* Poland
* St. Petersburg, Russia

I emailed x-nudism in the past and got no response.

If you look at the "Detailed Locality Map" here:

http://dunesspb.byethost7.com/dunes_e.htm

you can see that the Dunes Beach it is on the ocean or on a bay, but there is also a river or inlet, too. There is also another listed naturist area to the east.

On that map, where would the church and bridges be? I looked on Google Maps and to be honest, I haven't yet located where the Dunes would be, so I can't verify much at this stage. If we can locate the Dunes beach on Google Maps (or Live Maps), then maybe we can see if there are satellite photographs that depict the bridge and church that we see in the pics. It doesn't help that all the cities and place names on the Google Maps are in Russian.

I must admit that I enjoy a little detective work from time to time. With the bridge, church, and buildings in the background of the pics you have (and other pics I have), it should be possible to pinpoint the exact location of this beach, if it is indeed Dunes Beach. If it isn't, it may be possible to verify that, too.

I'll scan the Map when I have time. I'll also check Live Maps. I've found that at least in the United States their aerial photography is better than Google's.

I've wanted to know where this beach is for years. It's been gnawing at me the whole time.

Thanks for your input, Klondike.

Edit:

It does look like Live Maps aerial photographs are a little better. It looks like finding a needle in a haystack to find this place.

Maybe some detailed directions to the Dunes and the other naturist area would help.

To clarify: the first three pictures are shot at the beach I am trying to locate. I don't know about the second set of three. I assumed they were shot at the same beach.

As for the church or whatever it is in the background, from the posed x-nudism vids I saw, it appears that that beach may be further down the river from the one in the first set of three pics. But I'm not sure.

By the way, I was also told in the past that x-nudism shot at Danube Beach near Vienna, Austria. I don't know if that's true. I read on their site once they shot at Banana Beach in the Greek islands. I do know that some of their vids are shot at Koktebel. But none of the ones you posted were shot at any of those places.

Well, I'm glad someone else is on the hunt here too

Just a few points - first, yes I have confirmed x-nudism.com pics from "The Dunes", and yes, that beach is on the ocean. I also know where it is in Google Earth. It is slightly north of St Petersburg on the bay. Anyway, I do not know if the adjoining river is also used nude. I think, though, that these other beaches are likely located at some distance to "The Dunes". The beach you are interested in is on a narrow river - too narrow to be the Danube? The other one (pics 4-6) are on a wider river, and since these show the churches in the background, i believe it to be in Russia. I have seen photos of the Moscow area with churches that look very similar. Also, we had the backwards "R" on graffiti from this second beach, confirming Russia in my view.

So - actually the hardest beach to pin down is the very one you have the most interest in - the one in pics 1-3.

If I have some time, I will post a Google Earth image of "The Dunes" beach.

I believe it may be possible to narrow the search by analyzing the vegetation - a really trained eye can identify the trees and place the forest in a specific ecoregion. I have had some luck doing this but it will take a bit of research.

more later,

Google Earth (and Panoramio.com) images showing the location of "The Dunes" beach.

The first pic shows St Petersburg (bottom right) and a red X marking the beach. The second is a close up.

Yeah, like I said, the location of the beach (in your first 3 pics) has been a curiosity of mine for years. The only vids I've ever seen of the second beach pictured in your second set of 3 pics was on dailymotion.com. They were posed vids. The camera does follow the girls around in some of the vids and gives good shots of both ends of the river.

http://snurl.com/2ayp7

That's a link to one of my favorite x-nudism "voyeur" vids. It features a beautiful young woman with a shaved pussy and big swaying tits walking down to the river and then later moving around her sunning area. To be honest, I didn't keep many x-nudism vids because they tended to use the exact same footage in multiple vid clips. You'd see the same footage in five or six different files. Talk about recycling...

If you (or anyone else) care to take a minute to download the clip, you'll see that distinctive building in the background. That beach is my main interest since it is the only beach I've seen in the "voyeur" vids. Some of the "posed" vids were shot at that same beach, too. But apparently, there is another one. Somehow, I got the impression that the beach in your second set of was the same beach, just further down.

OK. If you look at the first set of three vids, there are some distinctive buildings that we should be able to see in aerial photographs, right? The building with the yellow roof, the blue building. Maybe that yellow roof is seasonal and not erected when the aerial photographs were shot?

And as for the other beach, a tall church with a distinctive dome should surely stand out in an aerial photograph. It'll just take some time to scan the area to see if it is indeed the area in question near St. Petersburg.

I saw your Google Earth pics and did locate the Dunes beach myself (I can't run Google Earth on this computer). I don't see much of a river there. I'm not disputing that there is a nude beach at that location, but it doesn't appear to be the ones in the vids or your pics which clearly show land on both sides of a body of water, most likely a river.

Given the resolution of the images and vids, I don't think that is going to be too easy.

The hunt is on. Thanks for your input, Klondike.

You're right - The Dunes is neither the beach in the vid nor the pics. I didn't say it was. I only brought it up because it is an X-nudism beach and perhaps that would help pin down the location of the others (if you assume that x-nudism would be inclined to only shoot on beaches close to home).

I'll look at the vid. We do have some landmarks that ought to show up in sat images, but without a better sense for the location, its not going to be easy. Really, you are looking for several things - a bend in a river, a bridge at the right point in that bend, some churches, some blue/yellow buildings. And I'm not sure all of these are not part of two separate locations.

I am still going with Russia, and likely an urban location (with graffiti, churches). Some of the Russian naturist site guides might have the location listed. That is one way to go and some may have english translations.

cheers,

Hi Dixler - I am not .avi compatable at the moment. If its not too much trouble, can you repost the movie in .mov or .mpg format? No problem if you can't...

thanks,

Klondike

[Klondike]

we also have this:

Two pics showing a brand of bottled beverage. Pics were taken on the x-nudism river beach (my pics 1-3).

I believe that is Russian alphabet...

Are you running an Apple? I'll see about converting it. I'll look for a converter.

I watched the vid in VLC Media Player, so I know it plays in that player. They have a version for Apple, if that is what you are using.
