    Mary Clare has it correct. There are 270 nudist clubs/resorts across the nation and a number of nude beaches .. i.e. Haulover Beach in Miami, Sandy Hook - Gunnison Beach in New Jersey and Black's Beach in California just to name a few. Literally millions of Americans enjoy nude recreation, either at a club or nude beach. Last year Americans spent $450 MIllion traveling to nudist locations. Visit aanr.com to see a full list of all of the resorts and travel clubs in the US, There are several lists online that show the nude beaches, however, make sure it is an official nude beach before you remove your clothing, as some are "unofficial" which means you could be arrested or ticketed if an officer sees you naked. That is why aanr advocates for nude "in appropriate settings".

    Give it try, chances are you'll like it. When you meet people without the costume that clothing provides, you are meeting the real people, not the actor behind the clothes. You will find most nudists are fiscal conservatives, professionals in their employment fields, open and honest in their dealings with other people. In short the best our society has to offer are often found enjoying nude recreation. Come on in, the water is fine.

    Turn the question around: What's the point of having to hide and suffocate oneself with clothing all the time? Some weird self-shame thing, I suppose. And what's the point of being offended by the sight of what other people simply are?

    Want a break from it, but have no where to go? A place where you are free to be comfortable in your own skin, and the only real price is to be tolerant of others. That's why nude beaches and resorts exist. Because there simply isn't any other sane alternative.

    Hi,

    Actually nudist colonies are now called nudist resorts. There are many reasons to vacation at nudist resorts. One of the biggest reasons is you will meet the nicest, friendliest, most unpretentious people in the world at nudist resorts.

    Once you take your clothes off, the barriers we normally have in society melt away. People are much nicer.

    everypone should try it as vacationing at nudist resorts is the fastest growing trend in the vacation industry.

    All nudists don't belong to nudist clubs just like all textiles don't belong to country clubs. Personally, I prefer the beaches, hot springs and hiking trails. The clubs are more entertainment oriented.

    Very nice page.

    It's a great equalizer as far as clothing goes -- and you get a suntan all over. Of course, nowadays on any beach, the difference is hard to tell.

    they at the instant are not called colonies. Campgrounds, golf equipment, or inns. And no, you will not get kicked out in case you in basic terms behave your self. families with babies of each and all ages are elementary there. you will get used to it very rapidly, ask your self what the great deal replaced into via the tip of the day, and you will hate having to dress to bypass domicile :(

    thats the point, nudists like being in the nude, they usually like the freedom and dont like being restricted as clothes feel unatural. its illegal to be nude in public so colonies are created so that they can be nude outside.
