No. However, someone who is permanently disabled can get a lifetime pass valid at all national parks, wildlife refuges, and historical sites managed by federal agencies for no charge.

The topographical details and the signage seem to be different every summer, so things could be changed next year. However, last summer straight people went nude right at and beyond the signs about dogs not being allowed beyond that point. One of the pictures that I posted in conjunction with my 2019 review shows the signs. This point is about a 10-minute walk from the far left entrance of the parking lot. Walking another 10 minutes will get you past the area where the dunes have been flattened and into the gay section. The gay men’s nude section is about 5 minutes’ walk farther. My husband and I tend to walk briskly. If you proceed at a more leisurely pace, adjust the times accordingly.
