Huffington Post had an article on "5 places to skinny-dip". The only problem was that none of the resorts was C/O or had a nearby nude beach. Huh?

At least the comments section had a fairly reasonable conversation pointing out just that fact. However, most of the "pro" comments centered on Orient and forgot about the domestic gems: Haulover & Gunnison on the East coast, and a list I don't know from the Pacific.

It may be false or not but in truth it is just advertising by trying to say if you vacation there you could skinnydip but most likely would not have the privacy desired to do such a thing.

By that logic, they might as well have advertised skinny-dipping in Akron, Ohio. You could certainly swim nude there, if you didn't mind getting arrested.

What else do you expect from the Huff Post? Terrible "article." Nothing more than an ad for those non-nude places. And how about all the comments lamenting the fat-old-saggy-perv nudists? Not the most enlightened group. On the plus side, some of the comments gave good info about REAL nudists venues...MUCH better than the main "article." So it wasn't a total loss...

C'mon, folks, let's not turn this into yet another dreary partisan pissing match. There are plenty of other places for that.

Getting back on track ...


I believe many of us nudists appreciate a well known publication's willingness to post a story on our lifestyle and a positive one is even more appreciative but Doc's right...

If you're gonna do a story on Skinny Dipping and places to do it ... there are PLENTY of places to speak of instead of these high end hotels with no "real" CO areas or nude areas.

They could have mentioned, Club Orient, Hidden Beach, - - - - .... even the Hedo's could have been mentioned but they chose those that aren't connected at all with what we do ... just what people think is a fun, exciting and slightly naughty, one time thing to do while on vacation.



Loves being naked. Plays well with others!

Right on Prof. This is not the first fluff journalism I've seen trying to lure readers/viewers in with hints of "naughty naturism" only to have nothing of substance in the piece. If an organization can't do enough basic research to even identify nudists venues, then don't pretend to write an article about it.

I am very pleased that there is increasing media coverage of naturism, especially in the UK. (Not sure how it is in the US, never been!) The media has so much influence, they basically tell us what to do, think and wear and the more naturism and nudity (in a non-sexual way) are portrayed - the better for society as it should make people accept it more readily

It was once said in Hollywood, "It doesn't matter what they call you, as long as they spell the name right." Meaning, all publicity is good publicity. When Fluffpost publishes a story advocating nudity and nude swimming, its a positive for all nudity and all nude swimming. It matters not at all if the 5 places are not regular C/O beaches, yet. If enough Fluffpost readers go there to get naked they soon will be.

The recent Geico commercial with the little lizard going to a C/O beach is good too. Nude is becoming mainstream in the media. So much the better.

The Huffington Post should be commended by those who enjoy naturism. It is a positive event when nude opportunities are mentioned in the mainstream media. An article that is helping to pave the way for locations that are not officially nudist should be especially welcomed by nudists and naturists.
Duh... It is difficult to understand why anyone could find something negative in that. Let's praise the efforts of any entity that brings Naturism into a good light.

Being Naked and Being Real

The problem is that because the article isn't factual someone might go to one of those venues expecting a naturist experience and come away sadly disappointed. Journalists can do better, and naturists (and wanna be's) deserve better.
