  POTENTIAL CO BEACH NEAR PORT DOVER, ONTARIO:

  Since June, '95, an attempt is being made to to establish this beach
  as CO.  This may or many not be successful.  Use at your own risk.
  It has been used CO at least a dozen times in summer of '95 with no
  hassle.  Recently, there were five CO users there, including a couple
  who happened on the beach entirely by accident, although they actively
  seek out nude/CO beaches whenever possible.

  Directions to potential CO Beach near Port Dover

  From Toronto area:  Go west on the QEW through Burlington to Hwy 403.
  Take Hwy 403 past Hamilton to Fiddler's Green.  Exit at Fiddler's Green
  and turn right at the lights.  Follow the signs for Hamilton/Mount Hope
  Airport to Hwy 6.  Take Hwy 6 to Port Dover.  (Hwy 6 south of Jarvis is
  under construction.  Turn right at the lights in Jarvis and follow the
  detour signs into Port Dover as necessary.)

  From Port Dover:  Follow Main Street or Radical Road out of town to the
  west.  You are now driving parallel to Lake Erie.  Turn left (toward the
  lake) at Blue Line Road, approx. 4 km out of Port Dover.  Follow Blue
  Line Road to it's end.  There will be a small pumping station on your
  right.  Park your car here.  Walk straight toward the water and down
  the hill.  As you get toward the bottom there will be a small structure
  on your right guarded on two sides by very large tires.  Turn right and
  walk above this structure.  When you get past the tires, you are there!

  Elapsed time - depending on where you started in TO, approx. two hours.
  From Burlington, approx. 1 1/4 hours.

  Recommendations:

  First, follow all the usual CO beach etiquette rules.

  Second, since this beach is occasionally used by people other than
  nudists, PLEASE put up some sort of sign similar to the one I do:
  CLOTHING OPTIONAL AHEAD - NUDITY MAY BE ENCOUNTERED.
  It is my strong hope that this will give anyone approaching the beach
  enough warning to make an informed choice about their use of the beach.
  (The beach to the left of the tires is, in fact, a nicer beach so no one
  who chooses not to use the CO side should feel cheated in any way.)  It
  may also put us in a more defensible position should local officialdom
  choose to get involved at some point.  Put signs on the path immediately
  above the tire structure (there is a nice little sandy spot about 2/3 of
  the way along) AND below, near where the point of the structure meets the
  water.  This will catch those just walking along the beach.

  Third, HAVE FUN!

  Hope to see you there.
