No more bathing suits on German nude beaches

No more bathing suits on German nude beaches

Someone forwarded us this newspaper article today. Thanks to Google Translate, we learned that new rules will be applied to nude beaches in the German region Rostock, making it illegal to wear anything but your birthday suit. This decision is part of a new set of beach rules for the area, which is no less than 23 pages long. Obviously, the very first thought that shot through our heads was “WTF??? 23 PAGES OF RULES?“ … Read more

Why Bianca Censori’s Grammys Stunt Has Nothing to Do with Naturism

In case you’ve missed the news, here’s briefly what happened: Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori were not invited to the Grammys but showed up anyway. He was wearing his typical fully black attire and Bianca had a thick black fur coat. When they arrive at the red carpet, Bianca turns around, takes off the coat, and appears to be fully naked.

The 10 Most Common Questions about Nude Beaches Answered

Over the years, we have received thousands of messages from people who are about to visit their first nude beach or who have been to some before but still find it confusing. We like to say that it’s not rocket science, but in fact, it’s not a science at all. And that’s what can make it complicated. One nude beach is not the other and even culture can influence how people perceive going naked.   … Read more

Social Media Censorship: The Community Reacts

Social Media Censorship: The Community Reacts

If you’re a naturist content creator or just anyone who likes to share advice, experiences, or thoughts about naturism online, the terms “shadowbanning”, “Facebook jail”, “content removal”, and the most unfortunate one, “total ban”, probably make all the hairs on your body come straight up.   It’s an endless cat-and-mouse game in which we, the content creators try to adjust to the tight rules of social media (and maybe bend them here and there) and … Read more

The Year we went to the Nude Beach. A LOT!

It’s that time of the year… the days are short and cold and it’s not really the best time to be a naturist.

It was you who stepped on the salsa teacher’s toes not once, not twice, but three times during a 4-minute song. Not to mention that hiking trip in Spain when you wanted to ask the gorgeous guide to help untangle your rope and said with a big smile “Quíta la ropa, … Read more

Hygiene when you're going to a nude beach

Let’s talk about hygiene when you’re going to a nude beach

The other day we spent an evening with friends and the nudism topic came up. They had just moved to an apartment in Spain in a region that has some splendid nude beaches and although they had never visited one before, their curiosity was tickled.   After all these years of visiting nude beaches, we can answer most questions without even giving it much thought. When am I supposed to take off my clothes? What … Read more
