Orchard beach

8comments

It's a beautiful park and beach, the woods are cruised all year long, the beach, section one, and the island behind it are cruised only in the summer. The hot crowd goes there in summer from May until the end of September.

Crowd
An eclectic crowd, from preppy newbies all the way up to married, retired men.
Watch out
Some of the old gossipy queens who tend to hang around the parking lot for hours.

Nudity: Yes / During the summer months, on the island behind section one of the beach, there is nudity, however, it is not allowed and tickets were given out.

Safety

Some of the old gossipy queens who tend to hang around the parking lot for hours. Just ignore them and have fun. Be aware of the fact that the woods are patrolled from time to time by the authorities in plain clothing. Do not do anything rash. be discreet and respectful of others.
