The top least known nudist beaches in Europe

Here is a list of the top least known nudist beaches in Europe, according to the Huffington Post. It's a good selection ranging from England to Croatia and includes some that I didn't know about, so full marks to the HP's researchers. Glad to see my own favourite isn't here though. . .it's a secret between me and some close friends, and we like to keep it that way!

The 5 Most Secret Nude Beaches in America

The only thing more exhilarating than a nude beach is a hidden nude beach that nobody else knows about. We can’t conclude for sure that these nude beaches listed by The Huffington Post are America's most secret, but they're pretty darn far off the beaten path.

South Korea to get its first nudist beach in 2017?

Hearing rumours that South Korea might get its first nude beach by 2017.
Apparently officials Gangwon Province are aiming to set up South Korea's first nude beach in an attempt to boost the country's east coast beaches, which lose out every year to the west coast in luring summer visitors from the capital Seoul.
This is not the first time the subject has been broached by government officials.
Gangwon Province tried to launch a female-only nude beach in 2005, while Gangneung City also deliberated, but ultimately scrapped, a nude beach idea due to public outcry. The same happened to a Jeju Island proposal in 2009.
Cynics see history repeating itself here, but if the country can push this through, (and reaasure western visitors--especially female visitors--that their safety is a prime concern,) then Korea may be on to a winner.
Watch  this space.

Nudism Numbers in America Fall.

The membership of the American Association for Nude Recreation (the USA's largest and most long-established organization nudist organisation ) is shrinking. The association once had over 50,000 members but in recent years the figure has dropped to about 35,000.
Spokesman Tom Mulhall believes that the fall in numbers reflects the reluctance of younger people to join an organisation which they perceive to be redundant and a little stuffy, prefering instead to practice a more informal type of nudity. The solution? Trying to get attract younger members. It's not simply to have more naked people wandering around their clubs, Mulhall says, but to ensure the future of nudism.

Holkham Nudist Beach Lost Because Of Flashers And Perverts

The naturist section of a UK beach made famous by the film Shakespeare in Love is to close because of complaints over people having sex in public. Naturists will be banned from one of my own favourite nude beaches, Holkham beach, Norfolk, from 1 July.
This is a great blow to the UK nudist movement and yet more proof that the growing usurpation of legitimate naturist resources by doggers and similar filth offers a serious threat to the naturist movement going forward.
I don't know what the answer is. Maybe we should find a way to name and shame them. Your ideas would be appreciated.

Russia Cracks Down on "Unofficial" Nudists

Russia Cracks Down on "Unofficial" Nudists:

The perils of using unofficial beaches! The normally tolerant ( at least where naturism is concerned,) Russian authorities seem to be taking a harder line when it comes to stripping off at unregulated venues, as this news report of a police raid on an unofficial beach near Minsk indicates.
As I advise in "The Complete Guide to Nudism & Naturism", stay on the official beaches unless you're SURE of the position and the attitude of the local authorities, and remember that attitiudes can change over time.

22 of the Best Skinny Dips As Recommended By CNN

Nude woman At The Waters Edge
CNN might not be best known as avid supporters of the nudist lifestyle, but they've come up with a list of 22 of what they consider to be the best places to skinny dip worldwide. The post also contains a slideshow of of the dazzling locations mentioned.
Be warned! You might not need swimsuits, but you're going to need deep pockets to take advantage of some of the places on offer!
The locations really are worldwide, and include  Japan, China, Croatia, the USA, France and loads more. Dear old UK only gets one mention, ( Lady Falls, near Brecon in Wales) but I can vouch for this one as it's not a million miles from my home and I've used it several times. Unlike some of the others it's free to use, but you'll need to prepare yourself for the breathtaking coldness of the water when you take the plunge!
If you've used any of the places mentioned, why not  comment on your impressions?
