I've read about Gunnison Beach on the internet, and it makes me wish I lived on the east coast instead of the pacific northwest. The nearest nude beach to me is in Portland, and it's already November. I'm going to have to wait until next summer to go outside nude. Did you see any younger people at Gunnison?
I don't think you're missing too much here on the east coast. The west coast seems to have a lot less people, more nature, prettier scenery, and more open space.
