From the New York Post: Wrong beach to go nude — no butts about it!
Six people were arrested for stripping naked on a Florida beach while a nearby nudist one is temporarily closed, according to police.
The nudists were busted in their birthday suits at Little Mud Creek beach in Fort Pierce Saturday while using it as a substitute for the clothing-optional Blind Creek Beach, which is closed for renovation, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
Daniel Harrisson, Donald Knapp, Gaetane Lambert, Steven Marhenke, Elmer Quandt and Nicolas Ramos were charged with indecent exposure and exposure of sexual organs, according to the sheriff’s office.
One man complained that he wasn’t hurting anyone, and just wanted a tan with no tan lines.
The incident happened on Saturday, October 25. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook post:
DEPUTIES ADDRESS NUDITY COMPLAINTS AT LITTLE MUD BOAT RAMP AND BLIND CREEK BEACH AREA
The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous complaints regarding unauthorized nudity at the Little Mud Boat Ramp area.While the ongoing Blind Creek Beach renovation project may be a temporary inconvenience to beach goers, it does not permit the use of undesignated public areas as extensions of the designated nude-optional beach. Some visitors have attempted to relocate north of the permitted area, prompting an increase in calls from concerned residents and visitors.
Since early September, deputies have maintained a visible presence in the area, conducting foot and ATV patrols, engaging in education and outreach, and reminding visitors of the posted signage marking the designated nude-optional zones. Despite these efforts, several arrests were made and Notice’s to Appear issued on October 25, 2025, at the Little Mud Boat Ramp, approximately 1.1 miles north of the permitted nudist area. The individuals were charged with Indecent Exposure-Exposure of Sexual Organs.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to addressing these concerns through both education and enforcement. Deputies will continue to enforce all state laws and county ordinances related to Blind Creek Beach, including violations involving unauthorized nudity and illegal parking along A1A. Illegal parking poses safety hazards for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists, and deputies will remain vigilant in addressing these issues.
The Sheriff’s Office appreciates the cooperation of the public and those who frequent the area during the ongoing Blind Creek Beach renovation project. Visitors are reminded to stay within the clearly posted nude-optional boundaries and to cover up before leaving those areas or entering parking lots and public spaces. Anyone observing violations or unsafe activity is encouraged to contact the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
The nudies all got their mugshots posted as well, but it appears they were each given a black covering to wear for their sheriff’s portrait.
