The nude beaches of Saint Martin

The Nude Beaches of Saint Martin

We went to every nude beach in Saint Martin, we think… It kinda depends on how you look at it. Saint Martin is home to Orient Beach, one of the few official nude beaches in the Caribbean. This is also the only official nude beach on the island, so technically speaking, just setting foot on Orient Beach would be sufficient to claim that we’ve been to every nude beach on Saint Martin.     But … Read more

Playa Sonrisa in Xcalak, Mexico

Revisited: Playa Sonrisa in Xcalak, Mexico

It’s been more than 5 years since we visited Playa Sonrisa. We remember reading that the resort was up for sale and figured that if we didn’t go right now, we might never get another chance to see this piece of paradise on the Mexican Caribbean coast. Because you never know who will buy it. Maybe it would soon become another dive or fishing resort, where at least a minimum amount of clothing would be … Read more

The Paradise Peak Clothing-Optional resort in Saint Martin

Review: The Paradise Peak Clothing-Optional resort in Saint Martin

Saint Martin was one of the first of the Caribbean islands to appear on the naturist map when back in 1981, Club Orient Resort opened its doors. Throughout the next decades, the resort would become hugely popular and attract naked tourists from around the world. Until 2017, when Hurricane Irma pretty much blew the place away.   Club Orient may be gone, but the naturist culture that the resort has been able to build still … Read more

The Nude Beaches in Florida

The Nude Beaches in Florida

For a state that is home to Tampa, the unofficial nudist capital of the USA, and to a great variety of nudist clubs and resorts, the number of nude beaches is surprisingly low. Four to be precise, with an unofficial 5th one. This has everything to do with the local law. We’re not going to bore you with all the specifics, but what it comes down to is that the law in Florida prohibits nudity … Read more

Lake Como Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

Review: Lake Como Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

Florida’s Tampa area is often nicknamed “the nudist capital of the USA”. There are several nudist resorts, clubs, and residential areas pretty much within walking distance, or golf cart distance if you wish, from each other. One of them is Florida’s oldest naturist resort, the lovely Lake Como.     How to get to Lake Como If you’re flying in, the nearest airport to the resort is Tampa International Airport, which has plenty of connections … Read more

When Amazon came to the Nudist Resort

When Amazon came to the Nudist Resort

Once upon a time, The United States was known as “The land of freedom”. The place where everything was possible. A refuge for 19th-century Europeans who felt suffocated or persecuted in their home countries and dreamt of a better life. Everything, even the complete impossible, was possible in America.   Today, especially in naturist circles, Europeans like to joke about the USA. Land of freedom… yeah right. Land where you’re likely to get fired or … Read more

Cypress Cove in Florida, USA

Review: Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

It had been 5 years since we first tried naturism in the USA. Or should we say “nudism”, the more accepted term in this part of the world? At the time, we needed to choose between Florida, famous as a nudist destination, and California which was more considered the nudist underdog. We chose the latter, because why would anyone want to read about a place that everyone seemed to have already visited, right?   Ever … Read more

Naked in a Tent in Canada

Naked in a Tent in Canada

Some people said that we were crazy when we told them about our plans to embark on a month-long tent camping trip in Canada. Especially our friends in Mexico, whom we waved goodbye to just before boarding a plane up north. They happened to be Canadians too, but had left their home country more than a decade ago to escape the cold. We had just been enjoying several weeks of warm Mexican weather together in … Read more

Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park near Toronto, Canada

Revisited: Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park near Toronto, Canada

Humans are social animals. Since the very beginning of our existence, we’ve been living in tribes and we are known to be at our best wherever our tribe is. As naturist bloggers, obviously our tribe consists of naturists and we should seek for them at naturist places. But one place is not the other. Meanwhile, we’ve gotten used to being recognised when we visit naturist resorts, but at Bare Oaks, it seemed like almost everyone … Read more

Casablanca Guest House in Zipolite, Mexico

Revisited: Casablanca Guest House in Zipolite, Mexico

For the 4th time in 6 years of continuous travelling, we made our way back to Zipolite. The small coastal town in Mexico that is home to the country’s only official nude beach. Only when we arrived there, we realised that we haven’t spent as much time in a single place as here. Not just in Zipolite, but in Casablanca Guest House.   Truth to be said, not all of that time was by choice. … Read more
