Why anyone has not thrown the homophobia card in re: Lighthouse Beach is a mystery to me. Given the current powers that be in NY, the governor and legislature seem to very accomodating to that lobby.

I'm not gay, but I know that individuals of that orientation also use Lighthouse. Doesn't bother me, live and let live, but if they acted up and cried discrimination, it could be a great result to piggyback upon.

Probably because it is not a community like Cherry Grove. I hear the beach between Cherry Grove and Sailors Haven is still nude, they are looking the other way probably because of this very reason. Hard to justify at a State Park being off limits because of the above.

The best way to get to Gunnison and not worry about parking is the Seastreak ferry. During the week it leaves 35th St on the East River at 11:15, and a return boat leaves at 4:10. There are more boats on the weekend. My wife and I have done it at least once every summer for the last 5 years. We used to go to lighthouse beach but find the surf is too rough there, and we don't know what it is like this year, post Sandy, post ban.

Restrooms are open, there was no food when we got there but an ice cream truck was there later.

Last year on a 90 degree sunny summer day, hundreds of adult american and foreign visitors would be enjoying a day of freedom. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,

2013, Maybe 50 people and the beach littered with debris and broken glass. Congrats, National Park Service on taking away recreational activity that many free Americans for many years enjoyed.

You have to be kidding me? When was this?

There are the consequences. Take away the reason for people to come and they will STOP CARING.

Why would/ should anyone show up for anything like a beach cleanup day to help the hostile National Park Service? When that beach was clothing optional and crowded, it had accountability and order. People kept it nice because they wanted to have an enjoyable experience. Now the NPS jackasses have offended and alienated those that made Lighthouse Beach amazing.

Yeah let have some of the media do a story on the before and after of the "NEW RULING" and see if it ever gets published or seen.

I'm so disgusted with the current state of the country, it is so sad to see.
