The Canaveral National Seashorelays claim to two nude beaches in Florida. That could be because this pristine federal park is not only relatively remote, but also breathtakingly beautiful. This is Florida the way it was when the first explorers sighted them in Columbus’s day: dunes covered with a mantle of sea oats and seagrape, beach sunflowers and berries. It remains the longest undeveloped stretch of oceanfront on Florida’s east coast. Arundel Lido in West Sussex is about to start holding monthly sessions after the success of its first tentative event. “We held our first naturist event just to see what the uptake would be, and were stunned when 80 people turned up,” said Nikki Richardson, its general manager. Later, during the performance for the clothed theater group, Lattimore arrives at the camp's entrance demanding to take Joan home with him. However, some members persuade him that he is tired and angry and should rest overnight and resume discussions in the morning. Before going to sleep, Lattimore visits Joan, who tells him that she is happy there and wonders why he is so grouchy and makes her mother cry. Early the next morning, unaware that he is in a nudist camp, Lattimore leaves his cabin for a stroll and meets the theater director, whom he recognizes as a famous Shakespearean actor, but is stunned when the man goes swimming naked.

A few years on, they started their blog. The aim, the couple says, was to debunk some of the myths surrounding naturism. Mainstream companies are increasingly realising that catering to the “buff pound” makes sound business sense. Andrew Welch, from British Naturism, said venues now regularly hold their own naturist events after having hosted a one-off occasion with his organisation. The couple enjoy visiting naturist beaches, including this one at Bagheera in Corsica. Courtesy Naked Wanderings Although Lattimore states he will not allow Susan to leave with his granddaughter, he later observes them as they say goodbye to the housekeeper and drive away. Early in the morning, on the outskirts of Tampa, Susan is confused by a detour in the highway, and the car breaks down in a remote area. Fortunately, another driver, Johnny Patterson, is on the road and attempts to fix the car. When he realizes a professional mechanic is required, he invites Susan and Joan to rest at the nearby Garden of Eden resort until a garage opens. After making them comfortable in a cabin at the "members only" resort, Johnny leaves to arrange to have the car worked on, but fails to advise Susan and Joan that they are in the middle of a nudist colony. Kids spend their days splashing in the pool, families have meals together in the restaurant and bar, and visitors make friends over games of horseshoes and petanque. Perhaps the most Florida-esque activity one can do at Sunny Sands is play nine rounds on their golf course while in the buff. Caliente Club and ResortsLike naturists themselves, the resorts catering to nudists come in all shapes and sizes, and appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Florida's 34 resorts range from rustic allure to luxury, family-centric to LGBTQ. An Ipsos Mori poll in 2011 found that 6% of people in the UK considered themselves to be naturists: almost one person in 17, or about 3.7 million people. In 2001 the percentage of naturists had been 2%. But we got absolutely no complaints at all,” she said. “I think locals are aware that these events bring new business into the village as a whole. Because naturists tend to come from so far away, they spend the whole day here.

Briony Newsome, the acting chair of the Shap open-air swimming pool committee in Cumbria, decided to warn neighbours whose houses overlook the pool when they started holding their regular monthly sessions recently. We were making a good profit from the sessions last year, but now people are clearly thinking: ‘Do I go for a nice naked swim or do I stay home?’ Britain’s clothes-free beaches have one thing in common: by necessity all are secluded and wild. Some are within National Trust grounds; others are hidden between smugglers’ cliffs. Going naked in nature on one of Britain’s best nude beaches is a relaxing experience — I speak from experience.Haulover may very well be the pearl of Florida’s nude beaches. It's certainly the best-known and oldest officially recognized public one. It sits on a welcoming wide strip of sand north of Bal Harbour, centrally located betweenMiamiandFort Lauderdale, and is ranked regularly among the Top 10 nude beaches in the world. It’s family friendly, with plenty of parking, restrooms within convenient walking distance, and the Atlantic Ocean, of course, lapping gently at its shore.
