Travel tips and guides 'Trip-Adviser' has listed its top 5 worldwide naturist beaches - oddly enough not 1 from the UK. ... Well here they are anyway with there somewhat odd comments

Haulover Beach Park – Miami Beach, Florida
More than a million people hit Haulover every year to live the relaxed life of a nudist. If you go, you'll stand out by trying to look like you're not.

Wreck Beach – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
At this clothing-optional beach, you'll be able to gaze upon eagles and herons ... or a whole lot of body parts you don't normally see in public. According to one of TripAdvisor's readers, "Wreck Beach is a magical place where I can strip off my layers of clothes and judgments, troubles and insecurities, and become one with the earth."

Paradise Beach – Mykonos, Greece
They're more open-mined in Europe, right? You bet! Check out Paradise Beach in Mykonos, where you can go "swimming in the blue waters and lying on the white sand in a place where humans celebrate the good parts of life."

Orient Beach – St. Maarten, Caribbean
Head down to the Caribbean to shed your second, unnatural skin. At Orient Beach, you can feel the sand in every orifice. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, "Orient Beach was one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited. A 'sun worshipers' paradise."

Black's Beach – San Diego, California
Watch for the cliffs, which are absolutely beautiful. Then, surf naked or simply sun the spots normally not exposed to rays.

Welsh Naturists Get The Boot

As reported in the UK National press this week, naturists have been warned that they are not welcome on a seven-mile long beach which is popular with families. Police and rangers will patrol during summer in uniforms and plain clothes at Cefn Sidan in Carmarthenshire, and CCTV will also be used. "No Nudism" signs have been defaced, and officials say the area is attracting both those with sexual motives and genuine naturists.

British Naturism said the authorities should work with them. Carmarthenshire council, which manages the beach and the nearby Pembrey Country Park, said naturists had been visiting Cefn Sidan since the 1960s, but nudism was not and never had been permitted. An area of Morfa Dyffryn, near Barmouth in Gwynedd, is the only official nude sunbathing area in Wales.

Yet another beach lost .....

Key West Might Get A Naturist Beach

News just in for all you international naturists. Key West -- The come-as-you-are island city of Key West features a nude rooftop bar, guest houses with clothing-optional pools and the 10-day, world-famous debauchery known as Fantasy Fest, where body paint passes as clothing. On the island's public beaches, though, going au naturel has been illegal since 1983.

That might change soon. A group of naturists is campaigning to amend the city's nudity ordinance to allow a section of city-owned beach to go nude. City Commissioner Bill Verge plans to propose at this week's city commission meeting an Oct. 6 referendum. Advocates say the change could bring more tourists to the cash-strapped city.

Monroe County Commissioner Sylvia Murphy liked the idea when it surfaced in April. ''No one visiting us [from other countries] understands why we are such prudes,'' she said.

One Last Summer For Naturists

As reported in the California press, naturist beachgoers will have one last summer to sunbathe in the buff on a strip of San Onofre State Beach. State parks officials say they will give nude sunbathers verbal warnings that clothing isn't optional on the 1,000-foot stretch of beach, officials say nudists will be cited after that and arrested if necessary. This ends a long battle to keep the beach 'clothing optional'.

California officials decided to crack down on the nudity at the 1,000 foot stretch of beach last year. Parks officials said they were rescinding their longtime policy because of an increasing number of complaints from the public of lewd behavior. Nudists have frequented the beach at the south end of the state beach near Camp Pendleton for more than thirty years.

It seems it is always the few the ruin it for everyone else !!

No Nude Down Under

Tourism Central Australia (TCA) has dropped out of negotiations over the creation of a nudist resort near Alice Springs. The idea of a resort was raised last year via an anonymous phone call to the organisation asking them to gauge the public's reaction. A homestead about 70 kilometres east of Alice Springs was considering the idea. TCA's Peter Grigg said he has now done all he can to push the part time nudist venture and it is up to the owners of the homestead as to what they decide.

"They are, as I'm aware at this point in time, trying to determine what their markets will be and will chase those markets," he said. "The primary interest for them at the moment is the four-by-four market, just because it's placed out there on the Binns Track and it's a spectacular part of the world to do any four-by-four activity."

Studland In The News Again.

Studland Beach was in the press again today as 3 new ‘Community Wardens,’ highly visible in bright yellow t-shirts, have begun patrolling Studland’s beaches to make all visitors and local residents feel even safer. The National Trust managed seashore has welcomed naturists for more than 90 years. The 800 metre long section known is the National Trust’s only nudist beach and is popular with people of all ages and with families. However, from time to time reports are made of sexual misconduct or activity that threatens to bring naturism into disrepute.

Safer Neighbourhood Sergeant Des Connor was reported as saying : “Between summer 2005 and summer 2008, nine sexual offences were recorded in the Studland area and we want to keep this number as low as possible.”

To combat this Dorset Police has teamed up with The National Trust and Studland Beach Users’ Action Group (SBUAG) to provide wardens, who have been given training by Dorset Police and The National Trust. They will patrol Studland peninsula throughout July and August and offer help and advice to beach users.

Sergeant Connor added: “The Studland peninsula is a very safe place where families can enjoy the summer. This new multi-agency approach will make the beach area even safer.”

Naturists Lose Beach Battle In California

As reported in the US press today, a group of nudists who want to keep San Onofre State Beach's Trail 6 a clothing-optional beach have lost their latest legal battle, after a panel of justices at the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled that a policy that addresses nudity at state beaches is invalid. The ruling favored state officials who last spring decided to crack down on a more than 20-year tradition of nude sunbathing at the 1,000-foot stretch of beach.

Park officials said the agency followed the rules and did not violate any policy because they said they never set aside a designated area for nudity. They contend public nudity is not allowed on state beaches. Instead, state officials said, they chose to look the other way and allowed public nudity at the beach until they started getting complaints. Officials said the naturists have to adhere to a code in state law called nudity prohibited, which states that "no person shall appear nude while in any unit except in authorized areas set aside for that purpose by the department."

Seahorse Stir At Studland Bay

Hello all you UK Naturists - hope you are enjoying the sunshine today I know I am. Earlier in the month I blogged a story about the seahorses found at Studland Bay. Well now a row has broken out over a protection zone to save the seahorses off my favourite bit of Dorset coastline. A voluntary anchor-free zone is being introduced at Studland Bay which is now home to the country’s largest breeding seahorse colony. It is planned that wardens will patrol and photograph the area to create a map of boating activity during the busy summer season.

Experts will then compare data from the seagrass in the anchor-free zone and a control zone where boats can anchor to judge the impact on the seahorse territory. But locals fear it will turn in to a ‘naming and shaming’ exercise with boats that are anchored in the bay named on the internet. They also believe the seagrass and seahorses are thriving as they and should be left alone - just a nature intended.

On a more practical note local people also argue that the village will suffer economically if the hundreds of boats that come each weekend in summer decide to stay away.

We will just have to wait and see what happens with this one !!!!

Hampshire Girls Bare All For Calendar

I spotted this bit of naked fun (which is all for a great cause) in our local paper today. It reported that a hampshire young lady is helping dozens of women strip off for a saucy calendar to help raise cash for our injured servicemen and women. Apparently Kelly Monk came up with the idea for the British Forces SWAG Calendar after deciding to support a campaign by her local paper "Daily Echo" Help for Heroes.

So far more than 30 ladies from across the country, including six from the Hampshire are, have all agreed to strip off for the semi-nude calendar which is currently in the process of being shot. All of the calendar girls have partners or husbands currently in the armed forces and will be wearing either Army, Navy, RAF or marine headgear in the photos.

Now thats worth getting naked for !!! Good Luck to them I hope iot goes really really well !!!

Nude Vollyball Tournament

Here are some details of a naturist event detailed in the Canadian press. Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is inviting the general public to participate in the 3rd annual Greater Toronto Naturist Volleyball Tournament. (July 1st to 5th) While participants do not have to be naturists/nudists to play, they must play nude. Whether that will put them at a disadvantage is yet to be determined.

Nudity in sports is a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the first Olympics. The Greek root of "gymnasium" is gymnos which means "nude". When liberated of clothing, the body is free to perform to its natural maximum. Volleyball and naturism/nudism is almost a cliché. But it is true that the sport has been incredibly popular within the naturist/nudist community and its roots can be traced back to 1927 in France.

Volleyball is just one of the many draws. In addition to Bare Oaks' many amenities, there will be a live band, campfires, and the restaurant will be open with a special event liquor license for the entire event. For families, there will be organized children's activities during the day.

Naked Rambler In Court Again

In famous/infamous naturist Stephen Gough was forced to go undercover today at Perth Sheriff Court. The naturist, who the press has been dubbed ‘The Naked Rambler’, was arrested after he was found walking nude through the Fair City’s Edinburgh Road late last week. However in court the ex-marine, who has previously served prison sentences for exposing himself in public, refused to cover up when he was due to appear before Sheriff Michael Fletcher in the Tay Street dock. After Gough’s agent William Somerville grew exasperated at Gough’s lack of co-operation and washed his hands of the case an intermediate date was set for July 2 and a trial on July 16.

Is this guy really doing himself and or any other naturists any favours -however it is a little strange that no-one from the naked bike ride events had any hassle from any of the authorities that I know about ...

Obviously a single naked man if far more of a problem than 50 or naked men and women riding bikes through our streets ......

Naturist cruises on the increase

According to a recent report in Britain’s Sunday press, nudist cruises are on the increase. Cruising in the buff has been popular with Americans for some time now, but naturist cruise specialists are reporting an upsurge in guests from other countries, particularly Britain, from where some travel agents are booking 50% more clothes-free customers than they were a year ago.

Nudist cruises, or clothing-optional cruises, are always private charters of cruise ships. Some of the most popular are the romantic square-riggers of Star Clippers; Texas-based naturist cruise agent Bare Necessities has been quick to snap up a fortnight on Star Flyer, one of Star Clippers’ three ships, which will be based permanently in Tahiti. The lure of the Pacific islands is obviously a strong one, as the cruise has already sold out.

Naturist Charity Calendar

In the local press today in Wiltshire naturist Mike Gould is definitely happy in his own skin so has no qualms in helping out and stripping off for a charity calendar. The 67-year-old and his naturist friends can be seen in the forthcoming 2010 calendar baring all in the snow, hanging out in gardens and getting all over body tans in the sun. The calendar’s naked models aim to raise £600 for charity Action for Blind People and have already reached £140.

Mike, of Severn Avenue, Greenmeadow, feels comfortable just pottering around in the nude at home and indded in his garden but would never venture into public. “I do all my gardening in the nude,” Mike was quoted as saying. “Our garden is totally secluded – it is not overlooked.

This is Mike’s third charity calendar – he raised money for the Prospect Hospice in 2007 and Action for Blind People last year. He started the calendar as an alternative way to raise money, as a heart bypass a few years ago now prevents him from taking part in other fundraising activities like running a marathon.

WELL DONE TO HIM !!!!!!!

Naked Fish

Hello there all you UK Naturists WHAT fantastic weather we are having hope you are really enjoying it !!! and for the latest nude celebrity photo shoot - this has to be one of the most bizarre ones I have heard of. Apparently stocks of Bluefin Tuna are fading fast, and with a recent market survey suggesting an overwhelming majority of the fish available on the Japanese market are immature juveniles, it’s likely the things could fall below the level of a viable genetic population soon.

Celebrities who have already seen the film were so shocked that many have posed naked for the acclaimed photographer Ian Rankin to raise awareness. Greta Scacchi, who took part alongside Emilia Fox and Terry Gilliam, urged consumers to only buy sustainable fish to help stocks of all fish recover as well as the bluefin tuna.

Well there you go - the power of the naked BUM !!!! lol

The Naked Bike Ride Is A World Event

Hello UK naturists looks like the weather is picking up for us. Well it seems that the naked bike ride really is a global event - I found this little snippet in the Washington Post today. Tour de France? More like Tour sans Pants. Under semi-sunny skies, the District's run of the fourth annual World Naked Bike Ride kicked off yesterday from Franklin Square downtown. Technically, folks on hand for the event weren't naked. D.C. has laws against indecent exposure, after all.

But several of the 30 or so riders found creative ways around that. A special tent was set up so riders could shed their street clothes and, using latex paint and other techniques, prepare for the ride in privacy.

"This is good for awareness," said Chris Bracken, 24, of the District, who, along with two friends, was participating in her first naked ride. "Nudity is always a good way to get someone's attention. The goal of the two-mile trip downtown was to protest oil dependency and promote bicycles as a transportation alternative. Of course, there are ways to make these statements while wearing clothes, but let's face it -- they're not nearly as attention-getting

Over 150 Naked Biker riders In Southampton

Hello you naturists - well despite it getting more than a little chilly yesterday evening and wearing nothing but their safety helmets, scores of cyclists took to the streets of Southampton for the third annual Naked Bike Ride. Much to the amazement of of the general public, around 150 brave activists stripped off for the protest ride, campaigning about both our car culture and dependency on oil.

With many of the riders sporting little more than colourful slogans and pictures, the riders also aimed to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists on the roads. The whole thing looked great !!! The ride started and finished at Southampton Common, but left a trail of both bemused and amused onlookers in their wake on a six-mile course through Portswood and the city centre.

Organiser Rob Jordan told the local press: “It’s a protest and a demonstration, but a joyous one, and we generally find that people give us a really warm reception.

And well done to all of them - it really was a great sight to see !!!!
