Party Cove - Anderson Cove - Lake of the Ozarks - Missouri

Most common is the gauntlet of boats that create a narrow space for the newer attendees to pass through while being shot at with water guns and receiving offers of free beads in exchange for some nudity. Bikini-clad women seldom refuse, but be aware that while toplessness is either legal or tolerated, full-blown nudity is not and should be approached with caution as the authorities have been known to crack-down on offenders.

While there's no shortage of the young and beautiful co-ed types who attend, the event itself is hardly exclusive. People of all ages can be found and in some cases it's the older fellas with the best boats and beads who lead the charge!

As with any event that revolves around a summer-fun and partying atmosphere, expect things to heat up (no pun intended) as the day progresses with whipped-cream contests, best-breast challenges and just about anything else you can imagine! While there is no apparent 'goal' in mind, plan to spend the day basking in the sunshine and bring enough sunscreen to keep you going.

If you are planning on going, get there early to avoid the massive crowds and traffic that build throughout the morning and be sure to bring some change for the tolls that lead into the area. Food, lots of bottled water and batteries for your camera are also necessities so be sure to create a checklist and make sure that you've got it all covered before you get out there!
