How to Beat the Nude Summer Heat this Year - Dare to Go Nude on your Family Vacation
 
Record heat waves. How does one stay cool and comfortable on their family summer vacation this year? One fun way is to try the fastest growing nude vacation trend around, staying at a nudist resort and participating in nude events.

With the long hot summer this year, you only have a few choices for beating the heat. You can exhaust yourself shopping at the local mall for new lightweight resort wear and spend an  equal amount of time worrying how you will look in your new, expensive clothes. Or, you can decide to pack light for this year's vacation. Real light in fact. All you will need to wear is your birthday suit, suntan lotion, and a smile. This is the year you should finally try staying at a clothing optional resort.

I can hear you thinking. "What, me vacationing at a nude resort? It sounds unusual." Not really. Europeans have been visiting naturist resorts and nude and topless beaches for decades. In Europe, when the temperatures go up, the clothes come off. A recent news story on Yahoo.com stated "Brits say bye bye to the bikini for an all over tan."

There has never been a better time to take a clothing optional vacation in America than now. Forbes Magazine reports that nude recreation is the fastest growing niche in the travel industry. Palm Springs, California is one of the most popular destinations as they have the best year round weather of all cities in the U.S. You never need to worry about hurricanes while relaxing poolside in sunny Palm Springs.

You may wonder, who goes to nudist resorts? Everyone! Democrats and republicans, the tall and the short, thin and not thin, and the young and old all have fun sunbathing au naturel. Baby boomers in particular have been flocking to nudist resorts lately. They have always been an experimental generation. It is only natural that boomers should seek out new travel experiences and fun adventures.

"But I need to lose 10 or 20 or more pounds before I can come to your resort." Tom and Mary Clare Mulhall, the owners of the popular Pure Nudist Clothing Optional Resort and Kids and Family of Palm Springs CA http://www.purenudism.com hear this comment all the time from "newbies." The Terra Cotta is famous for being the most mainstream nude resort in America. They are the best place for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. They are a beautiful boutique resort that was originally built as a celebrity hideaway. Repeat guests from around the world love staying there. "The good thing about vacationing at a clothing optional resort," says Mary Clare "is it really builds a woman's self esteem. She will see that all women are 'normal.' So many women tell me that they hate wearing bathing suits because they feel self conscious, but love going nude because now, for once in their lives they truly feel free and don't have to worry how they look in a suit.  It is a great feeling knowing how happy women are vacationing with us."

So this summer, if you are looking to beat the heat, try something cool. Book your vacation at a clothing optional resort. If you go, this will be the year all your friends will want to hear about your new fun adventure.
 

Free Beach Etiquette
A Guide to Courtesy at Clothing Optional Sites


Free beach etiquette is not much different from the same good manners that you should exhibit wherever you go. Be polite and respect the rights of others and others will do the same for you.

Gawking is Impolite
Gawking, or staring at nude sunbathers, is impolite. It is always rude to stare at others, but it is especially so when you use binoculars or a camera to look at nude people. If you came to a CO beach to see for  yourself what the experience is like, please, join in. You will have a great time. If you came to "look at the nudies", do yourself a favor and buy a magazine and read it at home.

Obey all Parking Rules and Regulations
Park only in designated areas. In some areas parking is limited and fills up early. If this is true    at your beach you can:

Arrive Early - before the crowds.
Carpool - saving both gas and parking spots.
Give others a ride from the parking area to the beach. Someone may do the same for you.

Help Keep the Area Clean
Bring and use trash bags. Always try to carry out more trash than you carried in. Leave nothing but footprints, take only memories.

Get Dressed When Leaving Established CO Areas
Many of the CO areas while not strictly legal, are accepted by the local population. To avoid  offending  people, do not go nude into parking lots or textile beaches.

Avoid Any Sexual Activity
While nudity is sensual, avoid any hint of sexuality in CO areas. Complaints about sex in public have caused problems at several CO beaches. Please, do not give the prudes an excuse to close down another CO recreation site.

Respect Private Property
Show respect for the private property of others as you go to and from the beach. Don't litter or park on private property.

Respect the Privacy of Others.
Many folks come to the beach to enjoy nature and do not want to be disturbed. It is OK to be friendly, but if someone doesn't seem to respond, please respect their right to privacy.

Be Prepared.
Most Co beaches are remote and do not offer the services and amenities found at textile beaches.
Therefore you should bring everything you may need including:
          Water and Other Beverages
          Food
          Cooler
          Sunscreen
          Towel
          Chair or Mattress
          Other beach Supplies

Speak up for Standards
If you see someone who is violating the accepted standards, please explain to them clearly and politely just how they are violating the rules and just what the proper behavior is.
