But… you have so many questions about the whole experience – and no-one to ask!

Honestly though, a beach is a beach, and the only main difference is the glaringly obvious: everyone [READ MORE]

A Blog Post by Katie J. So, you’ve made the decision to take the plunge and head to Haulover Beach? Let me tell you, it’s going to be an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re nervous like I was the first time I went to a clothing-optional beach, don’t be. After five minutes in the sand, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to do this in the first place! I’ve compiled a few pieces of advice so that after you read this and pack up, you can focus on one thing: Relaxing in the sun!

One of the most common misconceptions about naturism, nudism or clothing-optional environments is that they’re sexually-charged environments. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Does Nudity Equal Sex? It depends on the context.

I have stretch marks, cellulite, and I just don’t look like an 18-year-old.” My body sure isn’t what it used to be. Having kids and stress take their toll on a body. But you know what I have instead? I have confidence. [READ MORE]
