Nude Beaches
Beaches with a tradition of nude
use usually aren't a problem. Often, there isn't an explicit law
against nude sunbathing, and the authorities ignore secluded groups of
nude sunbathers. If you aren't far enough away from the clothed crowd,
they might ask you to dress. In cases where there is a clear law
against nude sunbathing, you could be ticketed, but usually only if
you refuse to dress when asked. The police usually would rather be
doing something more productive, and will likely cut you all the slack
they can. Still, don't push it in an area known to be unfriendly to
the idea. "Indecent exposure" charges are usually reserved for
flashers and others who are deliberately disturbing the peace. Simple
nudity in a secluded setting usually doesn't qualify as indecent
exposure unless there is a deliberate attempt to offend.
Your best bet is to visit a beach
with a long tradition of hassle free nude use. Some states have
designated nude beaches, while others have areas where they simply
turn a blind eye. There are no federal laws against nudity, so many of
the best places are in secluded areas of federal parks, seashores, and
other federal recreation areas. Beware that some federal areas are
less friendly than others. See my page on Where to Go for some
suggestions.
So you find the place and walk down
toward a bunch of "naked people". Then what? Just relax. Hang around
the edges or set up a "safe" distance away so you can observe what's
going on. No one will mind if you keep your suit on. Take your time.
If you're not comfortable with slipping out of your suit on this
visit, maybe next time. Stay as long as you like. You're free to leave
at any time.
Getting naked the first time is like
going into cold water. Some like to take it slow, while others like to
dive in to get it over with. My advice is the latter. Make up your
mind and just take off your clothes as if there's nothing to it.
Ignore any thoughts to the contrary and you'll soon notice that it
wasn't such a big deal. Act natural and any remaining anxiety will
quickly abate. You'll be surprised how quickly it just "feels right".
From then on, just enjoy yourself.
Notice how unbroken the sun, surf, and sand feels on your body. Play
volleyball with the regulars if offered. Most people mind their own
business at nude beaches, but it's not because they're not friendly
(usually quite the opposite). Some people just want to be left alone,
and most people there respect that. Nude beaches are usually
relatively quiet and peaceful, compared with the riffraff and noise at
your typical beach.
If you aren't comfortable at one
beach, try another. If you'd feel safer with a group, check the guides
and the internet for groups that frequent beaches in your target area.
It may take a trip or two before you get used to it, but give it a
chance. Personally, I get frustrated when I go to a "textile" beach
with clothed friends. Once you get used to not having anything between
you and the beach, it's hard to go back.
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
-Swimming Nude is Better
You don't have to fight the waves to keep your swimming suit on.
The water feels better against your bare skin than a wet swimming suit.
When you get out of the water, a swimming suit stays wet and feels bad.
When swimming nude, you won't get sand in your suit.
-Fewer Clothing and Laundry Hassles
Nudity reduces laundry costs.
Fewer washings reduce wear and fading, which in turn reduce how often you need to buy new clothes.
Eating nude considerably reduces the chances of spilled food staining and ruining your garments.
Deciding what to wear becomes a trivial decision instead of an often stressful decision.
Travelling for nude recreation cuts down on the amount of luggage that you need to carry.
Nude backpacking reduces the amount of gear you need to carry on your back.
-Sun Helps Clear Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-contagious skin disease that turns skin purple. Dermatologists have a treatment of sitting under a flourescent light to simulate the sun's ray. Why simulate? Go nude! The sun causes the body to produce dihydrxycholecalciferol. The more sun on the more skin, the better!
-Sleeping Nude is Better
By allowing air to travel freely over the entire body, the body is better able to distribute heat. This allows you to actually be warmer in the winter (under blankets of course) and cooler in the summer.
-Sunbathing Nude is Better
Sunbathing nude prevents those nasty tan lines and allows the entire body to benefit from the positive effects of the sun.
-Being nude can help prevent lyme disease.
Lyme disease is carried by the deer-tick. This little bug appears to bite when it lodges itself between clothing and skin. By being nude, they are much more easily brushed off before they can find a place to bite.
-Skinny dipping can help reduce rash from sea lice.
Sea lice, or jellyfish larvae stings cause a painful, itchy rash. The sea lice sting when they get trapped between your suit and skin. The obvious conclusion is to reduce your swimwear to reduce the chances of getting stung.
-Nudity may improve fertility
Being nude allows the male sex organs to better adapt to changing temperature. Tight, restrictive clothing inhibits the body's natural mechanism for doing so, which could cause reduced fertility.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
