Going to a nude beach like Haulover Beach or to a nudist resort like Cypress Cove is a ton of fun – especially if you have some nudist friends to go with! If you don’t have any friends who enjoy nude recreation, don’t fear! Nudists are a friendly and social bunch, who love to talk about anything from their lifestyle choice to other hobbies and – quite literally, anything! The open-mindedness that comes with nudity often makes for super interesting conversation, so you can expect to discuss anything from the strange and unusual to the controversial, all without fear of hate or judgment. Quite often, nudists know what it’s like to be judged – and they avoid it! If you’re still a little shy of approaching another naked human or are intimidated by the whole nudity factor, here’s a few tips on how to break the ice, and get yourself [READ MORE]

Some of us have returned to our natural, naked beginnings but some would like to dip a toe back to shedding our textile requirements. There are many reasons why people have not tried it and all are valid points. Some have jobs where their employment could be jeopardized; some have had negative experiences at a club or beach; some have a spouse or significant other that does not understand or want to participate; some have religious or familial restrictions and others believe you must have a perfect body to [READ MORE]

If you’re thinking about, getting into, or already living a nudist lifestyle, you might be thinking about how to make friends with other people who share your love of living life in the nude. As most people in mainstream society are “textile people” – that is to say people who aren’t nudists – it might be a case of getting yourself over to a nudist beach or event and socializing with the people there. “But what do I talk about with my fellow nudists?” I hear you say. Going up to total strangers and striking up a conversation may be intimidating at best and downright terrifying at worst. It’s sort of like your first day at school; you’re self-conscious, unsure of what to do and you’re afraid everyone will stare and laugh at you… oh, and you’re naked. For a lot of people, this is the stuff of nightmares. You [READ MORE]

A Blog Post by Katie J. You’ve heard about nudism and you’re intrigued. Perhaps you’ve already been enjoying some time chilling or walking around your apartment in your birthday suit. You’ve probably even fantasized about the how wonderful and liberating it would be to stroll around freely in the nude, chatting with other nudists who share your mentality. You want to give it a try but… … You’re terrified. Maybe you’re caught up in all the things that could go wrong, all your fears coming to life… What if everybody stares at me? What if everyone is younger/hotter/fitter than I am? What if I get harassed by some creeper? What if I get laughed at, or, God forbid, told to leave because I don’t belong here? You may also have some limiting beliefs about yourself and your body that are preventing you from taking the leap into social nudism: I’m [READ MORE]

A Blog Post by Dwight M. If you had told me 10 years ago that one of my projects would be to run the social media for a nudist website, I’d have laughed in your face. I was the furthest thing from a nudist. However, over time I became curious. You see, I work for a digital marketing agency. We were hired by Katie to help run the eCommerce and social media aspect of HauloverBeach.org. I was never a nudist. Ever. When I was assigned to handle Haulover Beach’s social media, I started doing my research. I talked to some of the folks on the team here who ARE nudists, and got some insight. I thought, “you know what? Being nude at home seems pretty cool. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.” So I did. I loved it. I learned nudist etiquette basics, like the fact that you ALWAYS put [READ MORE]
