New Nude Resort in Mexico Gets Locals Hot Under The Collar!
Resort in Mexico Gets Locals Hot Under The Collar!
Plans to transform the resort of Ceiba del Mar in Puerto Morelos, nr Cancun Mexico into a clothes -optional Desire Resort and Spa has sent local residents into a rage.Local restaurant owners and tour operators say they're not interested in getting the type of tourist Desire is expected to attract and don't want their businesses exposed to the potentially tawdry goings-on at the resort.
Can't say I blame tham. If you've read The Complete Guide to Nudism and Naturism you'll know how we abhore the link between real naturism and the sex and swingers scene. Let's hope the resort fails--and reopens under new mangagement as a new, real nudist resort.

European Nudists encouraged to visit Florida
European Nudists encouraged to visit Florida
Florida is aiming to lure more European visitors to its nude beaches next year, according to The Miami New Times Blog.
The county commissioners have approved funding of $4000 to develop nude tourism in the county, with the focus on attracting nude holidaymakers from countries such as France, England, Germany and the Netherlands.
Whilst $4000 doesn't seem very much, it's a start, and a step in the right direction for a traditionally conservative nation like the USA.

Proposed Nude Beach in China Unlikely, say Authorities.
A nude beach in China? Don't hold your breath!
A nude beach in Xiamen province was proposed when it became clear that more swimmers choose not to wear clothes, reports The Strait Herald.
Heated online debates were stirred by a naked surfer, in his 40s, who was seen near Huandao Road on August 19, 2011.
On the same day, a man was pictured swimming in the Xiada Reservoir without his clothes on. This follows two female expats filmed naked two weeks ago at the Baicheng Bathing Spot.
However, the suggestion has come in for much opposition and given the conservative nature of Chinese society it's unlikely that such a move will succeed.
Much as we'd like to report to the contrary, it seems that mainland China is still resisting the allure of naturism.

The Top 5 Nude Beaches In The World
The Top 5 Nude Beaches In The World
By Liz Boudreau
The very thought of heading for a nude beach gives many people the shakes. For others, it’s a natural occurrence and a natural consideration. If you’re comfortable in your own skin, they argue, why not head out in just that skin?
There are a variety of things to consider when choosing a nude beach. Many experts say location is one factor as you probably want some measure of privacy (and most nude beaches offer this). Other factors to consider are the age range of people who visit the beach (you’ll likely want to be with a group
around your own age) and other factors that really have to do more with your own comfort level.
If you are considering heading to a nude beach, why not head for the best? Here’s a list of the top 5 nude beaches, as chosen by the Travel Channel.
1.Montalivet, France.
This area is called the international birthplace of the naturalist movement. At this beach resort,
you can camp (most popular) or stay in one of the 172 bungalows. This is a family resort, so if it’s in your comfort level to include the kids, you won’t be the only ones. This resort features a wide variety of classes that range from soccer to yoga and everything includes the whole family. This gives new meaning to the term au natural!
2.Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
Famous for its many beach resorts, this area of Jamaica also includes the Couples Resort, which is an excellent start for the new nudists. The resort itself it not a nudist resort, but there’s a beach just offshore that’s for nudists. Featuring a pristine beach, private cozy nooks all around and a cabana bar, this island is private and safe, making newbies feel comfortable in their newly exposed skin.
3.Wreck Island, British Columbia.
This four-mile stretch of beach is so named because a huge wrecked sea vessel once inhabited the sand. At this friendly beach, you can enjoy the nesting area of the bald eagles, and know civilization is just a few steps away (the University of British Columbia is just a few hundred steps above the beach). One of the most lively parts of this beach is Vendor’s Row, where you can shop (in the nude) for souvenirs, handmade items and other goodies (including sunscreen, which you’ll need in abundance).
4.Samurai Beach, Australia.
Located in Port Stephens, this beach backs up to the clothing-optional Bardot’s resort. At the beach, you can enjoy nude volleyball, Frisbee, and tug of war. This is the spot of the famous Nude Olympics, which are held each year. Events include Nude Surfing, Nude Beach Girl and Guy Competition and Nude Torch Relay.
5.Hedonism II, Jamaica.
Yes, laid-back Jamaica can claim two of the top five nude beaches. At this clothing optional resort, expect a good party. There’s nude swimming, sunbathing and volleyball, as well as what the resort calls a “lush garden of playful passion”. Designed for playful couples and singles, the resort features a big party scene, lots of lush and delicious food and a nude good time all around.

Naked in South Africa
Worth a look. Where to go nudist in South Africa
Some useful information should you find yourself going nudist in South Africa
This article is over 12 months old but still worth a look. Rebekah Kendal comes up with some ideas about where to get naked in South Africa. The article itself is a little giggly, and she doesn’t even mention the magnificent Sandy Bay beach at Llandudno, Cape Town, but there are enough useful links ( one of which I couldn’t get to work!) to get you started if you happen to find yourself in that part of the world.

New nude hiking trail in Germany
Germany’s first official hiking trail for nudists has proved a hit, sparking calls for other nude-friendly trails in Europe, reports a Swiss newspaper.
The 11-mile naked hiking trail opened last year in central Germany following a series of altercations between nudists and clothes-wearing hikers on regular trails.

Good news for we nudists.I’m not one for nude hiking myself; my nude leisure is more on the lines of lying down in the sun and slurping a Margarita, but it’s an enlightened move by the German authorities. Maybe the UK government will take the hint…?
