To try four other clothing-optional riverbanks on Big River, walk downstream to a series of fun swimming holes. Some of the spots are "maybe waist deep," says regular visitor Brian. But with increased winter rains, he reports that "at a few spots, you can even jump into the water." However, due to the rocks in the river, total nudity isn't recommended. Suggests Bill Johnson, of San Francisco: "Bring some old shoes you can wear for wading." We call these beaches Two Bends, Three Bends, Five Bends, and Six Bends.
Legal status:
Part of the Big River unit of Mendocino Headlands State Park.
How to find it:
Follow directions to Lilies, then walk two, three, five, and six bends downstream along the river, which at times resembles a creek.
The beach:
Little riverbank sand shoals with cool water that may be shallow or moderately deep.
The crowd:
Probably just you.
Problems:
Rocky river bottom; needs better directions; anti-nudity regulations may be enforced by state rangers in the future.
