Went to JB past the pavilion for the first time since the road was opened to the traffic circle, yesterday. Seemed to me that from the parking area to the traffic circle, the dunes on both sides of the road were plentiful and largely unchanged. However, from the traffic circle to the F beach sign post much of the dunes have been washed away. What was left were mostly single dunes 100 feet or so apart. A few hundred feet past the F beach sign post the dunes were much like in the past with the dunes crowded together. This is where I set up for the day. One 4X4 came by early in the morning headed back to the pavilion. Appeared to be civilian volunteers checking on the sea turtle nests, which by the way are few and far between. That was the only time I put my shorts on the entire day, otherwise I was able to stay nude with no problems. Only a handful of beach walkers came by. One guy did set up couple of 100 feet from me and he was nude as well. He and I were the only naked ones while I was there.
I do want to point out that with the relatively large open spaces between dunes, it is easy for boaters to cross over from the lagoon to the beach in many places between the traffic circle and F beach sign post. And I did see a few groups of boaters cross over while hiking back to the parking area. I just want everyone to be aware if you don't make the trek to the F beach sign post and decide to setup instead in the E to F beach sign post area, you may encounter a group of clothed boaters or two. Not necessarily a bad thing, I've never had a complaint from boaters that have come across me sunning naked. Just letting everyone know that this might happen. Have fun and stay naked.
