Just 40 miles south of San Francisco stretch the white sands of San Gregorio. One of the West Coast's most beautiful beaches, it is also one of the most secluded. The 1½-mile stretch is hemmed in by steep sand cliffs, access is difficult and for some thirty years it has been a hideaway for a quiet band of nudists-men, women and sometimes whole families who descend on weekends and merrily remove their clothes...
Unlike many nudist colonies, which wall themselves in like monasteries, forbid liquor and anything that smacks of bodily contact, San Gregorio is considered a "free beach," i.e. where bathers are free to wear or doff what they please. One flamboyant japer paraded around on his first day wearing bright red knee-length socks and nothing else.

...took Darrell Tarver, a 28-year-old Air Force veteran and senior at San Francisco State College, to bring the joys of San Gregorio to a wider public.

"One of our newspapers' slogans," snapped Father Narciso Saguer Vilar of San Ildefonso's Church...
After the clash, some 100 priests gathered outside the home of their Archbishop-76-year-old Gregorio Modrego Casáus-and sent in six of their leaders to demand that the church immediately take steps to excommunicate the guilty cops. They also said that they would "tell the truth" from the pulpit. Archbishop Modrego said nothing-but his silence wished the priests back to their pulpits...
