Six nudists were arrested in Florida for stripping down at the wrong beach. The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office responded to numerous complaints about unauthorized nudity near the Little Mud Boat Ramp, located about a mile north of the designated nude-optional Blind Creek Beach. The arrested individuals, Daniel Harrisson, Donald Knapp, Gaetane Lambert, Steven Marhenke, Elmer Quandt, and Nicolas Ramos, face charges of indecent exposure and exposure of sexual organs.

The incident occurred as Blind Creek Beach undergoes renovations, leading some visitors to mistakenly relocate to the non-nude Little Mud Boat Ramp area. According to the Daily Mail, the sheriff's office has increased patrols in the area since early September, using foot and ATV units to enforce the boundaries of the clothing-optional zone.

Despite the increased enforcement, some beachgoers expressed sympathy for the nudists.

However, others emphasized the importance of respecting designated zones, especially since young families could be present. According to WPBF, the sheriff's office will continue to enforce all state laws and county ordinances related to Blind Creek Beach, including violations involving unauthorized nudity.

Violators of Florida's indecent exposure laws could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
