In this episode, we’ll meet Shirley and Richard Mason, two pioneers of the US beach movement who created the model for launching a legal nude beach, when they boldly established residency on Florida’s popular Haulover Beach. Plus, a brief history of nude beaches in “puritan besmirched” America. Enjoy!
