With warmer weather comes the opportunity for sex on the beach, and we’re not just talking about the cocktail. While the beach allows a chance to sun our buns, catch up with friends and just lay out and enjoy the blink-and-you-miss-it summer months, it also is a great place to cruise.
Wherever you are, there are likely to be many places to have public sex. However, the beach is a bit of a tricky one – it’s generally a fairly exposed space and there’s a real mix of people coming and going. This all presents a range of risks beyond just getting sand in every orifice.
Let’s take a look at some tips on how to navigate your next gay beach adventure.
Can I have sex on the beach?
The short answer is – it depends.
An important starting point is to have a basic understanding of what the relevant laws are in your location. Even under the most liberal legal systems, while having sex in public might not be a crime you can still run into problems if someone complains that what you’re doing is causing offence or is a pubic nuisance.
So, even while for some of us the days of getting arrested while cruising are a thing of the past, having sex on the beach still requires some discretion.
This means that your opportunities for having sex on the beach are going to be considerably less if there are lots of people around. For example, compare it to a local park cruising adventure – if there are lots of families around then you’re less likely to risk getting naked and getting off.
This is why sex on the beach generally happens off in the sand dunes, or in the nearby scrub, or behind the rocks – if you can put some kind of visual barrier between you and the general public, then you’re less likely to be accused of having inadvertently caused offence.
What are the best destinations for gay beach sex?
Anywhere that there’s sun, sand, water and some gay men can quickly turn into a beach sex hot-spot.
Undoubtedly, gay cruising in the United States has a long and proud tradition, but you’ll also find some spectacular gay beach sex destinations in Europe and South America.
If you’re travelling and trying to track down some gay beach sex action, then a little bit of local knowledge goes a long way. Chatting to local guys on hookup apps is an easy starting point. Squirt.org’s cruising directories will help you find the best cruising locations by country, state or city and also provide reviews of what to expect. The reviews include details on where to look for a safe spot to cruise, as well as how many guys you can expect to see on certain days of the week.
The Squirt community is full of men who help other cruisers find what they’re looking for. With the option to filter by beaches, you can use Squirt to find the best local spot by the water to partake in some anonymous outdoor fun.
Is gay sex only at nude beaches?
Just because a beach isn’t clothing optional doesn’t mean that sex is off the table, but there’s generally a bit more of a sexual edge at nude beaches. Plus, if everyone is already naked then you’re already getting a preview of what you might be able to get your hands on.
Whatever kind of beach you’re at, head towards the end that looks the gayest and the most naked. That’s the direction that you’ll find the cruising options.
How do I let a guy know I’m looking for a gay meetup?
If you’re cruising for sex on the beach then the same general principles apply as for any other type of cruising.
Eye contact is always a good starting point. Take your sunglasses off and let him know that you’re looking at him.
If you’re sitting on the beach and someone has walked past you a number of times, that’s not by accident. Let him know that he’s got your attention.
If a guy that you’re into goes into the water for a swim, go and get in those waves. If the vibe is right, the swell is going to bring you close enough for a quick chat or a bit more.
If the cruising area is somewhere behind where you’re sitting, and a guy walks by you on his way there – it’s likely that he wants you to follow him. Don’t be shy – go get some cock.
I love sex on the beach, or in the dunes behind the beach. And just jump in the ocean after to clean up.
