Naturist Sunland Beach:
Adult Rated Beach
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nude%20Beach/129/96/22
I was
shocked at all the advertising when I first arrived at Naturist Sunland
Beach. The landing zone is a small
raised hut covered in advertisements, and when you first set foot onto the
beach you are offered an invitation to the Naturist Sunland Beach’s Group and
the rules are posted in Public Chat.
Unfortunately, every time a person arrives at the beach, the rules are
posted in Public Chat which becomes an annoyance if you’re near the landing
point. The shock of advertising didn’t
decrease as I began to explore the beach.
The
beach is separated into three sections:
The market, the nude beach, the adult beach. Each area is distinctly sectioned off from
the other. The market is in the center,
where the landing zone is and the nude beach and adult beach are on either side
of the market. The nude beach and adult
beach are separated by large warning signs that ruin the views of the beach and
detract from the verisimilitude of the environment. I just feels too much like a game zone, not
an actual beach.
The market has shop after shop
selling sex toys, avatar accessories, slutty clothes, etc. The shops all look like beach cabanas and fit
into the overall theme of the beach.
However, the amount of shops and booths really overwhelmed me when I
first arrived. While I understand that
having shops helps pay for the cost of running a Sim, I just think that
Naturist Sunland Beach really has too much.
Once I walked onto the nude beach
area, I was happy to see so many people walking around, relaxing by a campfire,
and having a great time. The big ad
board by the entrance to the nude beach was even more distracting that the rest. I walked around the beach for a little while,
and I really liked the layout of the beach, but unfortunately, Naturist Sunland
Beach had no activities for the beach goers.
Towels, chairs and few pose balls were provided, but activities like
surfing or fishing were absent.
Some parts of the beach were just
poorly installed. A short peer jutted
out into the surf, but it wasn’t properly aligned with the surrounding land
which meant that I couldn’t just walk up onto it. Instead I had to either jump onto it or use
one of the pose balls on it. An island
out in the ocean had the same problem. I
couldn’t just walk up onto it, I had to click a pose ball to there. All of this ruins the suspension of disbelief
reminding me that I’m in a simulation.
Adjacent to the nude beach was a
strip club with a really nice theme. The
stripper’s poles were placed along the walkways separating several pools. I was really excited about talking to the
strippers at this club because I thought the design was clever. All of the poles in the club were occupied by
dancers; however, all of the stripper were either AFK or just not interested in
talking to me. I tried several times to
talk to the strippers, but none of them replied. They didn’t even say “Hello” to me when I
entered the area.
I spent quite a bit of time on the
nude beach area, which was the most populated section. I was actually surprised at how creepy
several of the men acted. I was
propositioned twice for sex. Each time
it was by a male with a poorly crafted avatar.
The most interesting thing was that their heads were disproportionately
small compared to their bodies.
After ignoring those men, I spent
some time talking to Connie, who is a regular at Naturist Sunland Beach. We talked for a little while, and I got a
much better sense of what the beach is like.
Connie loves to chat and meets a lot of people at the beach. It’s fairly popular because there is Linden
Giver that randomly hands out free Linden Dollars to people nearby. So, some people will just camp on the beach
all day long to get the free Linden Dollars.
She used to be a stripper and finds it easier to just sit on the beach
and collect free money. Connie was
really nice and helpful and real ray of sunshine on a beach that was generally
disappointing.
Finally, I visited the Adult area
which was pretty much empty. There was a
dance floor and a couple of alcoves with some sex furniture, but really it was
desolate without anyone in that area. I
walked around for a bit, but got bored pretty quickly. There are few hidden areas for intimate
encounters, which were nicely done.
Overall, my visit to Naturist
Sunland Beach was just disappointing.
The advertising fit the surrounding, but it overwhelmed me when I
arrived. I just couldn’t get over the
fact there were so many shops and booths around. The beach was nicely laid out with pretty
geography, but some of the areas were poorly implemented. I was happy to see people there, but I was
really disappointed with how the dancers ignored me and several men annoyed
me. I just didn’t have a good time at
this beach. I can’t really recommend it
at all.
