Gunnison Beach, Nude beach in Sandy Hook, US.

Gunnison Beach spans a wide stretch of Atlantic shoreline with white sand and clear waters within Gateway National Recreation Area.

The beach earned its name from Battery Gunnison, a military fortification established in 1904 for coastal defense near New York Harbor.

As the largest clothing-optional beach on the East Coast, this location attracts nature enthusiasts from various backgrounds seeking unrestricted recreation.

The beach provides lifeguard services, restrooms, outdoor showers, and food truck facilities during peak season between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The extended walking distance from parking lot G to the water creates a natural buffer that maintains lower visitor numbers than surrounding beaches.
