Nudists steamed over sea lion carcass on beach
(AP) — Some Orange County nudists are fuming over the burial of a rotting sea lion carcass on a San Onofre beach. The naturists said Tuesday that state parks officials buried the animal on the beach near Trail 6, which used to be clothing-optional until officials cracked down in 2008. Allen Baylis said the dead animal's fin sticks out of the sand just a few yards from a volleyball court near where people still sunbathe naked. He said the stench is so overpowering it will keep people away.
The park's maintenance chief, Steve Scott, said his crews had to move the 10-foot sea lion from where it was found because of crowds and erosion on that beach.
Scott said it was not their intention to offend or inconvenience the nudists.
