How To Practice Social Nudism During Social Distancing

April 14, 2020 Nora

The world has been turned upside down by the spread of COVID-19. Self-isolating, self-quarantining and social distancing have become the norm in most countries around the globe. But apart from the more common questions like “when will things go back to normal?” nudists like me are asking ourselves how to keep social nudism alive when we’re advised to be anything but social. Of course, heading to the nearest naturist club or hosting a nude house-party are out of the question – and will probably get shut down anyway. So, is there anything we CAN do? The answer is a great big whopping: YES. As long as you keep an open mind and recognize that the experience is not going to be the same as before. Unless you just happen to have nudist neighbors who you can have a little distance-party with from your respective back yards. But with the wonders [READ MORE]

April 8, 2020 Linda W.

Blog Post by Linda W. Legally recognized clothing-optional beaches are difficult to find when traveling in the United States, so when I had a chance to visit one, I was excited. Haulover Beach came highly recommended by friends who ironically, were on an extended stay in Florida from the United Kingdom. They raved about what a nice beach it was and that on their next visit over, they would plan another trip there. So, off we went to check out Haulover on our recent trip to Florida. Traveling down the A1A, the closest parking lot is the Marine center. Turn right and park in the lot. As the day progresses, the parking lot fills up but there are other parking lots near the Marine center that entail a slightly longer walk to the beach. Parking is by automated machine and the cost was $7.00. After you park, look for the [READ MORE]

January 8, 2020 Austin White

*This is a guest post from Austin White, developer of NudeSpots.com As far as American nude beaches go, you simply won’t find one better than Haulover Beach. Why? 1- It’s one of the very few – maybe the only one – that’s officially legal There’s a few others here in Florida, but none of them have that official, government-recognized distinction. What does that mean? There’s absolutely zero risk whatsoever of getting in any trouble at all for being naked at Haulover. Just make sure you’re in the nude beach!

December 28, 2019 Sydney Capello

Blog Post by Sydney There are two small words that pack a punch and are typically followed by a gulp of intimidation and they’re not what you think. Have you guessed them yet? Powerful and provocative, the words are “Nude Beach”… Yeah, that’s right. NUDE BEACH.  Nude Beaches in America For all you nude beach virgins out there, you’re probably imagining a breezy, scary place where instead of watching the tide roll in and feeding the seagulls, you are forced to watch strangers walk by without their tops on or scarier yet, without any clothes at all.  **gasps** Or possibly the scariest of all, a place where strangers watch you try and enjoy the ocean in nothing but your birthday suit and a fake smile. Sound about right? Well, stop. Stop yourself from thinking this way, and start by keeping your thoughts in check. Do not let these proprietary, mainstream [READ MORE]

November 26, 2019 Nora

Going to a nude beach like Haulover Beach or to a nudist resort like Cypress Cove is a ton of fun – especially if you have some nudist friends to go with! If you don’t have any friends who enjoy nude recreation, don’t fear!

A Blog Post by Linda W. Editor’s Note: We’re grateful that Linda submitted this blog post and hope to have her back on a regular basis! If you would like to contribute an article for our blog, please contact us using the contact form.  We were all born nude and then it started with a diaper and the textile indoctrination began. Some of us have returned to our natural, naked beginnings but some would like to dip a toe back to shedding our textile requirements. There are many reasons why people have not tried it and all are valid points. Some have jobs where their employment could be jeopardized; some have had negative experiences at a club or beach; some have a spouse or significant other that does not understand or want to participate; some have religious or familial restrictions and others believe you must have a perfect body to [READ MORE]

June 18, 2019 Katie

Yes, I know that some of these things will be applicable to you as well… But, as a woman I want to make sure that I’m helping encourage other ladies to come out of the shadows and join the fun! Nudism. Naturism. In the buff. Naked. In the nude. We’ve all heard these words being thrown about but probably never even gave them a second thought. In a world where we live in clothes pretty much 24/7 and being naked is no longer the norm, it’s safe to say that many girls and women feel shy and uncomfortable in their own skin.
