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
The most common problem women have toward a nudist environment is the fact that most think that only perfect 10's will be there and they will be embarrassed by other women. This is simply not the case. Only one in twenty (or less) has an exceptional physical appearance and naturists view all people as beautiful. Just as everyday people, some may have physically attractive bodies and may be proud of them, but most have average physiques and no overwhelming desire to flaunt themselves. When visiting a nudist environment, it soon becomes apparent that human beings are not rated on a scale on one to ten, based on body type, but rather on individual merit. They feel that personalities shine while exterior features have very little meaning.
A pamphlet which has helped many women better understand and adjust to nude life titled, A Woman's Perspective is available from the ASA, Incorporated, 1703 North Main Street, Kissimmee, Florida 34744-9988 USA; 407-933-2064. It details the average female nudist's attitudes about the practice and benefits of nude recreation for women, men and children. Yes, children. Experiences with children at nudist sites seems to suggest that the lifestyle also helps children to better cope with the pressures of growing up. Child naturists seem to be quite relaxed and have no problem with shedding garments. Also, incidents of abusive acts are much more rare than in "clothed" society. Children at these facilities are clean, considerate, and very well mannered.

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. |
