Anybody else love a Day at the Beach?

[Dooley67]

I just came from the beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we are vacationing. It was an amazing day, clear blue sky, temperature about 90, soft ocean breeze, fantastic waves to jump, dive into or get knocked around by. Coming from Maine, I rarely get a chance to get to the ocean where the water is warm enough to stay in for an extended amount of time, so when I do take a beach vacation, it's a real treat for me. And each day wearing a different one of my speedos. Today it was a Nike 2" brief which felt great in the water, like I wasn't wearing anything. And for the first time all week I saw another guy, in a navy blue square cut. Most folks had already left after the US Labor Day holiday.

What are other's experience of a day at the beach in a brief swimsuit?

I love the beach and spend every weekend I can in another one of my suits... I don't have a story right up having been absent from the beaches 3 weekends (2 due to work, and my lost 3 day weekend due to my car picking a terrible time once again to crap out).

I want to do a beach vacation before the year is over. Take 7 days and travel from beach to beach getting tanned and having fun. Even tho it has been 3 weeks since Iv'e been to the beach I still have a solid bikini tan lol.

Up the road from the Outer Banks is a beach in Hampton Virginia called Grandview Beach. It is a mecca for guys in speedos and thongs. A bit of a walk to get to it and not a groomed beach, there is some pedestrian traffic of non-speedo wearers but the people are visible form a mile away so for those self conscious about their apparel, you can easily slip on a pair of shorts. I don't worry about what would be said or thought of me while there in my Aussiebums.

Nice place to go to if you get a chance sometime!

Easily the best was on holiday in Mexico (Cancun) in '99 where I went on an excursion to a private beach. As soon as we arrived we were encouraged to change into swimwear straight away. Being with a group of Americans, mostly, I was the only one who changed into swim briefs - as if I was bothered.
I had a decent stroll along the beach and then had a swim in the warm sea. I finished with a spell in a hammock with a cool drink. Idyllic!
Though having said that, I was unattached back then so it really would have been perfect if I'd gone with a girl.

D67,

I also have spent many weeks at the Outer Banks, albeit further south in Avon, NC, USA. I generally put on a favorite swimsuit as soon as I arrive and stay in swimsuits the whole time. Like you, I am often lone guy in a brief, but my body carries it we'll, so I enjoy it. Last winter I went to Sanibel Island, Florida, USA and wore my Turbo suits, even on my bike ride to the beach. Stopped for ice cream and stuff. Again the sole guy, but not a bad look ever.

D67,

I used to love the Grand Strand on Hilton Head Island South Carolina. I would usually be one of few guys in briefs. The only dirty looks I got was when I blocked someone's sun.

My wife and I were in Cancun in the summer of 2012 and expected to find lots of guys in speedos. But, I was one of a very small number. It didn't bother me though, wore a different speedo each day and just enjoyed looking at the few guys who were in speedos.

Latin America was “speedoLand” for a lot of years, also Mexico have “speedo history” but it begging to finish at the middle of the 90’s… For example Venezuela was a place very very very “spedo-users” at early the year 2000 but at today maybe only the 30% of the guys use it.
I think the speedo is “coming back” in South America. No faster like a lot would like, but is coming back. I believe the trend of "global empowerment" is making that the people begin to don’t give importance if another people have some problem with the clothes that he want to dress.

VTspeedo - Dang it man, here I am in Va. beach and just up the road is a Speedo beach. ROAD TRIP!!!

You can get more info on Grandview on Squirt.org...message me if you need help getting the site for it.

I think everyone on here would appreciate a day at the beach In As little clothing as possible.

My family are avid scuba divers so we went on a long holiday to bonaire in the carribean. Though it's not known for its beachs, the water is exceptionally warn allowing you to dive in nothing but a speedo and rash guard. I think my boy and I spent the entire trip in speeds cruising the coast from dive site to dive site.

I try and hit the beach (usually in NJ) at least 4-5 times a summer, but sadly usually by myself. I always have a speedo, turbo or aussiebums on and sometime see other with them on, sometimes not.

I think the trip woudl be more enjoyable if we had a group that always could meet up with enjoys each other company. It may entice more people to start wearing them too!

While I try to get to the beach every weekend... I havent been able the last month due to work & being sick but I love a good day at the beach. Like paspeedo it is always by myself tho.

Hope you recover fully and get some time at the beach. Surely there is still beach weather in southern California.

I don't scuba, but I do snorkel (I know it is not quite the same). I have always thought that in the warm waters of the Caribbean a Speedo type swimsuit just made sense for either scuba or snrokel. I am usually the only guy in them though on the trips I have been on... not that I care. Glad to see that there are others who think like I do.

STS,

I'm with you I don't scuba dive I snorkel. I love snorkeling off Bermuda its water is so clear and the underwater sights are unbelievable.

[paspeedo]

One thing on my list to do is hit a beach on the pacific coast someday. Ill be in Las Vegas for a group trip in November, but what is the beach weather in southern CA then?

[knikon]

How late? Early November it usually isn't that good. Late November to February is usually great

Unfortunately, the first week of November!

I love going to Bondi or Bronte beach and just enjoying a stroll in my Aussiebums

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

He paspeedo,

I would not worry too much about the weather. If you go toward San Diego you should be fine. IMO the beaches down there are better than what you will find up near LA. I have been there in November and December, the weather was fine and the beaches were nice. You might not see lots of folks in swimwear, but keep in mind that they live in a warmer climate so what is nice to you might be cool for them. I was there for the holidays a few years ago. It was sunny and high 60's one day, I ran shirtless in a square cut along the beach, while the locals were running in long sleeve shirts.

Good luck,

STS

I will say the weather is still full of surprises. It was a bit cool last weekend... This weekend it is going to hit 100 degrees farenheight. People out here freeze at 60 degrees lol
