At Vermont lake, new controversy over nude beach
From the beach of Lake Willoughby’s Southwest Cove, the sheer cliffs of Mount Pisgah tower over the deep, frigid water. Across the narrows, Mount Hor’s peak completes the look of a Scandinavian fjord.
In the summertime, the beach offers a different view: naked sunbathers. Southwest Cove is one of the most famous nude beaches in the country, but there’s a move under way to make people put their suits back on . . .
But some Westmore residents want to be able to use the beach without having to worry they or their kids will confront a naked person. They’re pushing the town to pass an anti-nudity ordinance . . .
