I sure would love to join u sometime, I'm over in the Orlando area and have only been to the Fort once, last summer.  Sure hope I can make it back there this year!  Great place to thong and to wear my Dore gstrings!  Maybe we can meet up there sometime, would be great to have a fellow thonger to lay out with!

To ski696969;

You know, those signs posted about the dunes replenishing are absolutely correct and not some plot to keep you from comfortably tanning yourself.  Sand dunes on beaches are "living" things that provide significant protection against erosion and serious storms.  They're mother nature's way of providing a first line of defense against the sea.  The sea grass on the dunes stabilizes them against wind and sea erosion and allows them to "grow". 

You'll notice that even in places like Fort Lauderdale, where the beach is rather narrow in certain spots, that signifcant efforts are being made to allow the dunes to grow back in.  This is also being done in Miami down South Beach way. 

I understand the dunes are a way of keeping the shore line intact and the north beach has many new dunes forming infront of the old dunes.  Mother nature has a way of taking care of her self.  And the Fort Beaches are always full of sand and every year the shape of the beach changes.  The history of the Fort and us fellow thongers and nudist use the North beach for sunning enjoyment.  Attempts over the years have been made to get the North Beach semi nude.  County officials refuse and the beach signs is another way to keep us from enjoying a very small section of beach.  If they want to protect the dunes and shoreline so much, they should refuse building permits for all those condo projescts.  I'm sorry, but my little a__  laying on the dunes is not going to anywhere near the damage one condo building will do.  I agree with protecting the shoreline but lets be fair.

Tiny,

 I try to make it out to the Fort at least 2-3 times a week, it depends on my work.  I am self employed and travel around the bay area, I never know when I can get to the Fort.  We should try to plan a time to meet up.  I just made a recent visit to Skinz and picked up  a few new suits and want to show them off.  I was out to the Fort the other day and there were a few other thongers and G's enjoying the sun.  Gotta Love the Fort!

What a beautiful day at the Fort!  The weather was perfect and the water temp was awesome.  I arrived around 1 pm, got a late start.  I spent about 3 1/2 hours tanning, saw about 6 other thonger and gstingers, all guys.  There were a few people every once in awhile walking the beach.  I spent most of the time laying on the waters edge sunning my buns.  At one point this well fit good looking lady came walking down the beach at she enjoyed seeing my string.  As she walked by she said hello and made a nice comment on my dark tan.  I get pretty dark!  She walked down the beach and then turned to come back, this time she walk much slower and began to look for shells in the water.  As I laid there with my cheeks on the high side she was checking me out.  I'll be back the middle of next week for some more sun!

 I've been going to the Fort alot lately, lets hookup!  I just got some new suits from Skinz, I really like the Y-Back G-String, it fits well and allows for some great tan lines.  I think I was at the Fort 3 days last week and will probably be there several more times this week.  It would be fun to G-string together.  Let me know when you will be out there.  I've been going to the west beach, parking on the grass half way up from the NW beach lot, the beach is much nicer. 

G

June 20th week sounds good!  Let me know what day you plan to be out there, I go to the West beach and then North past the roped off bird nesting area and before the fallen trees.  You say you were small g-strings, I strut around in a Y-Back G-String from Skinz and I'm out there several times a week.

G

Actually I will arrive in Tampa on Friday, 6/18, late in the evening.  Plan to find a motel close to Ft. Desoto and be on the beach Saturday, 6/19, by mid-morning.  I haven't been there in along time so I hope the "West" and "North" beachs are marked.  I can probably find it!  I'll probably be wearing one of Dore's very low cut g-strings (in blue).  I'm blond, 5'-10", 170 lbs.  Look forward to having someone to talk to.  Cody

I'll be over in Tampa in July.  Two questions:  Where is the Skinz store in Clearwater?  Where exactly is West Beach?  I used to live in St Pete so know Ft Desoto fairly well.  I'm assuming you turn right at the end of the park entrance road. But I'm not sure were you're parking.  Is it the grassy area along side the road with out any paved parking?  I've seen cars there before, but looks pretty far from the road to the beach.

Hope we're able to meet up at the beach some day.  Maybe I'll even be in a new Skinz Y-back.

Thanks.  That's the area I was thinking... Just since there isn't a parking lot, wasn't sure you could park on the grass.    So does anyone use the extreme north section anymore?

Thanks for the info.  Hope to see some other  thongers out there on Sat, Aug 7.  Will probably be out there again on  Tuesday, Aug 10 about 11-2pm.  If any of you out there, I'll probably be in my Joe Snyder thong. 

Well I'll be there on Tuesday (8/10) about 11am - 3pm.  Last time I was at Ft DeSoto used the North end... headed to the new section where most thongers go this time...  Say hello if you're around.

Hi I am new to this forum. Don't get a chance to thong much. I don't like tan lines, and would love to thong on Fort Desoto soon. As a long time resident of Pinellas county I can't thong much without stares, jeers or some stupid homophobic remarks. I am a white heterosexual male, single and am not offended by public nudity. I am hoping to catch a ride with someone, as I don't drive.

Looking for some fun in the sun, and do some shelling, and walking on the beautiful beaches.

Only serious replies please.  Joseph 

Well I'm headed to Ft DeSoto tomorrow about 11am.  Send me an email and I'll check to see if you've replied before I leave for the beach...  I'd be happy to give you a ride...

I just spent another day this week at the Fort in my Y back skinz g-string.  I love to lay out work on my tan and walk the beach.  I usually get to the beach after 12 and like the spend at least 4 or 5 hours there. I usually keep to myself at the beach and just say hello to passers by but wouldn't mind tanning with other sometime. 

G

Sure wish I could join u!  I'm in the Orlando area!

Max -

 Go to the west grassy area north until no more cars park on the grassy, take the small walk to the beach and then turn right (north) most thongers and g-r's use that part of the beach but really anywhere you like works, the Fort is the #1 rated beach in the nation and for good reason.  SHHHH - Don't tell anyone!  I hope everyone has a great 4th of July, I plan to spend the entire weekend in my new M1R1 from Skinz, due for pickup sometime this week.  They said 3 weeks to make it.

G

I just spent all day at the Fort and was beautiful day  strolling and sunning is my new Skinz M1R1.  I will be out all week and this weekend soaking up the rays.

What a day on saturday at the Fort, I got there around 11 and there were 5 or so other thongers and G-rs then some rain clouds came in off the Gulf and all but two of us left.  The rain lasted maybe 10 minutes and then the sun was out and then again another rain cloud came 10 more mins or rain and hot sun the rest of the day.  The other thongers were a young guy and sweet looking gale they both sported g-strings like myself.  I gotta tell ya the sun on Saturday was hot but the seabreeze kept it comfortable.  A few other thongers came out and as the tide went low the tourist from the north beach would stroll thru once in awhile, no big deal.  As I was laying there two rangers drove by real close, I guess because I had my skinz g-string on and you could barely see the thread  and I was on my stomach tanning my bunns.  They never stopped and even later on when I was taking my strut down the beach they drove by and waved.  You gotta love the Fort, I had such an awesome time tannning and really enjoying myself in my g-string.  I will be out to the Fort on Wednesday to keep my tan going and do I have a dark tan with one exception,  a small white line aroung my hips and a small dart in front.

See ya at the Fort!

G

? How's the Fort doing these days, I have not been out since early July before we had a brush with the Hurricane and then I took a months vacation around northern Canada.  Us Floridians get away during the summer for a little cool down.  I gotta tell ya, it has been hot this summer.  I plan to hit the Fort at least once this week.

G

I'll be at Ft DeSoto on Tuesday, June 20.  Anyone else planning to be out there that afternoon?

Hey Mia

Where is Fort Desoto Park? I travel the state, and try to make as many beach plans as possible! I love the ocean and coastal atmosphere, I mainly travel from Jacksonville to Miami (east coast) However I do make my appearance known on the west coast at times (Tampa-Clearwater area) I am use to going at it alone, and would love to team up for a great sunny day sometime. I have not found alot of thong friendly beaches, and so mostly where my low cut bikini, however I do own a few thongs, but they have not seen much of the sun. How is Fort Desoto Park with thongers? I have a new Lime color thong im wanting to hit the beach with. Hope to here from you soon. Would enjoy to here from other thongers as well.  Playinghorse13@yahoo.com

CTONLINE-

 We've stayed at  Tierra Verde Yacht club on 689 South of the bridge some time ago, but it seems to be run down now, may want to have some future guests stay at Isla in the future. Please Let us know what you think of  Isla Yacht &country club.

We live right on hwy 689 in Tierra Verde just out of DeSoto in the winter, can put you in touch with some great Tierra Verde rental condos just out of DeSoto if Isla Yacht and country club doesn't work out for you.

Sorry to have missed you at DeSoto- we were thonging at DeSoto 8/22, possibly talked briefly with you that day. We're back in the north countrry now.

Beachfolks

ctmonline-Thanks for the recommendation for Isla. We're also glad to know the pool and hot tub are thong friendly or at least thong tolerant and that you have thonged there with no hassle.  Likely there weren't very many visitors. We had thonged at DeSoto most days Aug 8 to 23 and didn't have much beach company except for weekends. DeSoto is always nearly deserted weekdays until the late fall visitors arrive.

Hi all,  I haven't posted for a long time.  I live in Sarasota and make it to Ft Desoto 3 or 4 times a year.  The hour drive there and back takes to much time..  I liked it alot more before you could walk the beach to the main North beach.  Much more private, less gawkers and prudes walking by. 

Hi,  I am in Tampa and go to Fort Desoto during the week

Please reply by PM or to my email that's on my profile page.

Thanks Jim

We'll be visiting Florida during March break and we're wondering where exactly do the thongers go in Ft DeSoto.    I've been to Ft DeSoto's website and it isn't very clear.      Any help would be appreciated.  

Thanks from Canada.     

Bruce

Hey Tiny - I try to get out to the Fort  2 or 3 times during the week, depends on my schedule.  I plan to be there this week.
