Bay Bares Park. Bay Bares are a bunch of folks who get together regularly for the pleasure of each other's company, the kind of fun that can only happen when like-minded people are around one another. We cherish our time in the sun and the beautiful park we have built together to spend it in. We are families, couples, and single people who have re-learned what a joy it is to relax and play without the restrictions imposed by a clothes-compulsive society. Bay Bares Park is not a business establishment. We are a private club, and a Florida not-for-profit corporation (LSN, Inc.), which could also be described as a co-op. We've been around about 7 years, but have grown an awful lot here lately, and we're up to over 80 members (...well, that's a lot to us!). Visit the site for additional information.

Boca Chica Nude Beach was something we'd spent years looking for in the Florida Keys and we didn't actually find it ourselves. We've John Gaston of Key West, long time Naturist and nude charter boat pilot to thank for it. Boca Chica Beach has virtually all the qualities we look for before computing an area onto NUDISK--plenty of parking, a long established tradition of nude use, well balanced attendance, hassle free and accepted by the community, out of public view, and if possible, gawker free, all of which Boca Chica is, and then some. There are two added bonuses; Boca Chica is a fisherpeoples' and bird watcher's paradise! Several times, we've seen The Great White Heron, The Snowy Egret, The Lesser Blue Heron, The Reddish Heron, and a very large Osprey overseeing the fishing activity of the other birds, possibly waiting to steal someone else's catch, all at the same time! Two bald eagle nests can be seen in the trees... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

"A perfectly natural community in the heart of nudist country." Check the website for additional information.

Caliente Resort. May 2007. I had a meeting to attend in Sarasota, but I had an afternoon off, and I went up to Caliente. This is an upscale resort just north of Tampa, in Pasco County, a naturist-friendly county with a number of clothing optional resorts. I visited Caliente on a weekday last year, and it was very quiet. Last Saturday it was booming. You drive in past the gate - the clothed woman at the gate who, I had assumed, would check my TNS card (because I was a single male) just waved me on in, and told me to register at the gate. This was not what I expected, given the stern warning on the web that single men would not be admitted unless they had been AANR members for more than a year (I am not, but I was prepared to argue my legitimacy by showing my NetNude posts!)...

Naturally Caliente! A Newcomer Nude’s Naked Observations by Madelyn Greco. 2006. Published with the permission of the author - Madelyn Greco. The main passions of my life currently all seem to afford some interesting opportunities, body-painting being no exception. The majority of the local work we do involves body-painting for theater, art galleries, special events, fashion shows, film and photography. We’re fortunate though, to have enough demand for our talents that we are also able to travel. I am the "marketing director" for our two-artist company, Living Brush Body-painting. As such, I sent out a flurry of press releases via the web this past July, after our successful attempt on the Guinness World Record for "Most Painted Bodies in a Day". I was hoping to land an especially desirable gig for Halloween, a time when our services are greatly in demand... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Caliente Resort. May 2006. I had a few hours before a plane in Tampa, so I drove up to Caliente. You take Veteran's HIghway from the airport (a toll road), get off at Exit 13, Dale Mabry Highway (this is past the second toll plaza), take the world's longest exit ramp (3 miles!), go left on Dale Mabry, which becomes Route 41. Just before Route 41 merges from three lanes to two you will see a large sign for Caliente Resort-Spa on your right. I had called the sales office to get a look around (I had not realized that they waived the entry fee if you go through the sales office, but I saved $21.00), but it turned out that my TNS card was 7 days out of date, and I was a single male. The nice people ultimately decided was not a perv, and let me in. At the sales office they took my information, and gave me a sheet of the rules for me to sign. Beyond the usual no sex, sit on a towel rules they had a detailed description of the piercings that were allowed and not allowed (only one nipple ring per nipple; one body piercing, which can be a genital piercing but not on the penis). They certainly attend to details. There are all sorts of different accomodations, from McMansions some of which were more than a million dollars, to little prefab 'casitas' which looked like stucco covered trailers, town homes, condos. There is also a motel. The club house is huge. When I arrived there were about 20 middle aged and older clothed women having lunch together. The pool area is immense, with a small conversation pool, a huge freeform pool 3.5 to 4 feet deep with a waterfall at one end, two beach volleyball courts, a water volleyball pool, and hot tubs. There is a steam room, sauna, and health club. The people around the pool were entirely nude except for a boy who was about 12. He was from England, and obviously irritated at his naturist parents. Did they bribe him with a trip to Disneyland? There was also a young couple who wore bottoms. They took them off to go into the pool and never put them back on. I had a very good grouper sandwich at the pool bar. There is a spa, and someone was having an undraped massage at poolside. Two days before I had visited friends at the Longboat Key Club, an upscale textile condominium community in Sarasota. The atmosphere was very much the same - a quiet resort community with some retirees. Except for the nudity. It is a far cry from the nudist colonies of the 50's.Thanks Mickey for the report.

Caliente Resort Report. We spent Memorial Day weekend at the new Caliente Resort, just north of Tampa Florida. We are a family of five with three teenage children. Part of our mission was meeting up with some friends from Georgia, who also have two daughters, considerably younger than our own. The resort is truly gorgeous. The crowning jewel is definitely the clubhouse with a restaurant, nightclub, boutique, and an amazing pool complex with a large waterfall fed conversation/play pool in addition to a huge hot tub, and a moderately warm conversation pool. There are other pools specifically for volleyball tournaments and the like. There is food and beverage service all around the pool area. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was reasonable and good... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Caliente Resort - 2004 NetNude Gathering Reports. March 2004. This Gathering was held at Caliente Resort near Tampa, Florida. Reports by Bernie and Becky.

Caliente Resort. February 2004. To prepare the March gathering goers for what to expect at Caliente I went up last Sunday, the first balmy day we'd had in a while in SW Florida. Sundays the construction crews are absent so people are more comfortable going about. The new clubhouse is basically finished, large and somewhat garish but most people will be impressed: 2 conversation pools in addition to the main pool, a couple of water volleyball tanks as well as nearby volleyball fields. The place was crowded, 80 percent or so being seniors with the rest a mixture including some kids. It appears to be more nude than Paradise Lakes, that is few people arrived in the pool area clothed. The inmates seem to know one another...much airkissing and huggies. One of the drink servers liked to rub her boobs on friends when greeting them, a nice gesture I thought. It can be a bit of a hike to the pool area from some of the rental units but no golf carts were in use that I could see except by the management. All in all quite an ambitious development which appears to be going well...hope the clubhouse is operating by the time you arrive. This report is brought to you by bunsunr. If you wish to contact the author, he is on the message board with the same name.

Caliente Resort. February 2004. Deb and I went there today. Grounds fees with AANR membership was $10 each. There have been many improvements since we were there last. The clubhouse is HUUUUGE! At least 3 bars in the clubhouse itself, & prolly as many restaurants. We counted 5 pools, 2 of which were for water volleyball, 1 unheated pool with a waterfall, 1 conversation pool, a heated pool & 1 hot tub. The restaurant prices we were told were a bit high. All in all quite an ambitious development which appears to be going well... hope the clubhouse is operating by the time you arrive. Note from Jan: The clubhouse opened March 3, 2004. The 2004 NetNude gathering was at Caliente the last weekend of March. Bill was at the gathering. This report is brought to you by Bill Z. who, in 2004, is the NAC representative for Florida.

Caliente Resort and Cypress Cove. February 2004. We just got back from a quick trip to florida..We spent one day at Cypress Cove and one day at Caliente. First Cypress Cove. This is a wonderful facility. It is run well and has everything one could possibly do or want. The staff there is one of the most cordial and motivated that we have ever experienced. Great places to relax and they have a superb eating facility with great food with very reasonable prices. Our highest recommendation for Cypress Cove. Then it was on to Caliente. This will be a beautiful resort when completed. We stayed in one of their hotel rooms. It was very nice and was well equipped: microwave, refig, coffee maker and hairdryers. Since they are still in the construction phase they only had the conversation pool really open with their pool bar operational. There was no place to eat on property. We did talk to a few couples that were staying in either the villas or the condos. They said they were beautiful. We did get a tour of the main center building. This will be a true resort facility when completed. We will plan another trip to Caliente but not til it is complete. The staff is very helpful and apologetic. We cannot wait to see it when it is completed. Thanks S. & J. for the report!

Cypress Cove Nudist Resort. December 2005. On Friday when I got to the Cove it was warming and brightning up from rain in the morning. I got naked as fast as I could and went to the pool. Yes it was on the cool side but it was a heck of a lot warmer and nicer than the below 10F and 2 feet of snow that I had at home. I got as much sun as I could in the late afternoon. Friday night, I had dinner and attended the Christmas show at the restarurant by the lake. The stuffed flounder was good but the (I believe temporary) waitress seemed a little forgetful. She seemed a little jittery serving a semi-nude guy (I wore my festive red polo shirt :). It took her several tries to take orders, get the stuff and serve. I sat at the table with Josie and her husband Tom. They were great folks and good conversationalists. Dan sat on my right and we had a great conversation about how it was to be retired from the phone company. Even though I had checked the "(un)dress" code, I was only one of three folks (that I could find) who could be considered at least partially nude. I guess I didn't get the memo that this was a "dress up" event... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Haulover Beach Report. April 2008. It's 11 am on a Monday morning. I arrive and find the closest parking spot I could get. Which at this time of the day is not hard to do. As I walk toward the beach access tunnel, I am greeted by the usual lush tropical wooded area. After two years of absence I am expecting to see the same sights as I have come to know. Emerging from the wooden bridge that takes you through the wooded area I see that they have painted the access tunnel a shade of mauve inside and out. An unexpected surprise, the 1st of a few. Noticing the opposite end of the tunnel painted the same color, I emerge from the tunnel to find the next pleasant surprise. A paved sidewalk made of concrete tile and sodded grass on the sides. Expecting to see an old tired restroom facility, I am delighted to see that it has been completely renovated. Complete with showers just to the outside of the restroom entrances. The outside painted with white and mauve stripes. The walkway goes around and past the restrooms connecting to a service road. I have to bring my bike, skates or blades next time. I notice there is a crosswalk created by stone tiles guiding you to the beach access through the bushes and trees that provide a barrier. Next I see a beach side shower facility and benches to sit as you clean up from the days activities. No more need to cover up to shower. This is a real delight as you can go back and forth if needed. The day was a beautiful 80 degrees with a north west breeze. Not a cloud in the sky. The seas were almost flat. 2 feet at the most. Looking around I see plenty of open spaces to set things up and get comfortable. After several hours I braved the cool waters of the Atlantic. Chilly at first, but I got used to it in a short time. I see that the beach is not that crowded. I imagine it to be quite different on the weekends. As I remember from all my times before. I ended the visit by remarking how I will have to come back on a weekend and play volleyball and explore the many improvements that have taken place and to do more things while I'm here at the beach. See you at the beach. Thanks RC for the report!

Haulover Beach Report. April 2007. I visited Haulover during a weekday afternoon. Rather than tell you what we all know and love about naturism, let me tell you what I saw at Haulover. Not less than four men masturbating in plain sight, and at six or seven strategically positioned to get an eye-full (legs spread) of the few women that were there. One guy decided that the restroom was too far away and relieved himself at the edge of the beach into the grass...in full view of everyone. I am disappointed about what I saw on my FIRST visit to Haulover. Having been a nudist for eighteen years and experienced nude recreation around the world, I have never seen anything like this, and I won't likely return, especially with a family. I'll stick to resorts where the behavior is modeled after the nudist ideal. Thanks David for the report!

Haulover Beach Report. February 2007. We went to the Haulover Beach about a week ago and took a chance on the weather as it called for showers. They were few and far between and the day was just beautiful. Folks just congregate under the shelters or their umbrellas. But there was lots of sun and it made for a very enjoyable day at Haulover. Not having been there before we were surprised to find it so accessible. It truly is the Number 1 tourist attraction in Miami. Folks are respectful and friendly, but do not infringe on your privacy. Sure there are a few oddballs and gawkers, but they are easily outnumbered by the everyday people who come to the beach to enjoy it naturally. The water is warm, although being from Atlantic Canada that may be relative to what we are used to. There were certainly more people than we usually see at a naturist beach, but it is almost a family type of atmosphere and you feel totally safe while at the beach. Great spot for first time naturists as you could see some timid ones that were not sure, but after a few minutes were completely nude. No one is concerned about your body type or its condition. Overall a very accepting place to be naked and enjoy the sun and water. Not to be missed if you enjoy the freedom of a naturist beach. Thanks Frank and Marion for the report!

Haulover Beach Report. January 2007. I made my first trek to Haulover Beach in January ’07, while most of the U.S. was chilling with snow and ice storms. There are several Haulover reports posted on NetNude and lots more info is available on the web, so I’ll limit this report to my experience and some current updates. I stayed 3 days and 4 nights at the Ocean Palm Motel for $100US per night, which is still fairly reasonable for lodging right on the beach during high season. The place is still hanging on, with minimal maintenance to keep the aging rooms and facilities going. With the Days Inn gone, Ocean Palm is the only hotel remaining near Haulover. Rumors have been spreading that the owner sold it, but he hasn’t, yet, and plans to operate for at least 1 more year. Three tall towers are being built to the north, making for an unattractive view and rude morning wake-up calls by construction noise... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Haulover Beach Report. February 1, 2006. It's Wednesday February 1 2006: another day, another year at Haulover Nude Beach between Bal Harbor and Sunny Isles Beach, South Florida. Some clouds in the early morning sky and the cool 66 F will not keep away the many people coming to this wonderful beach later on and during the day, as always, when the sun warms it up. The "snowbirds" have already arrived in big numbers since some time and they all enjoy with us the freedom and the nature around here and in themselves. As the building-process is going on like crazy all around here and along the ocean, this beach park remains the true oasis of sun and green and relaxation! Hopefully local politicians and administrators will keep on understanding this and how important this is for everybody to be preserved: for the many people coming here just because of this. There is an estimate of one and a half million dollars income only from the parking fees and if you ever had a look up and down the other beaches here, there is not even one place so much visited. To be sincere, some improvement, like more showers and better toilets would not be bad, as it surely is not pleasant, seeing somone in urge just peeing to the sand or at the shoreline. The food and beverage service has much improved, since there is a new contractor now, even though it seems not nice, that chairs and umbrellas are not more carried in, but driven through the people lying in the sand with a mini tractor. I find this quite disturbing. It is also not understandable, why they sell beer there, nevertheless "alcoholic beverages" are forbidden by the county - orders on this beach as well as the widely practiced smoking of substances. At Haulover there is always the good old OCEAN PALM MOTEL which is directly on the beach and minutes away from Haulover nude beach in walking distance along the seashore. It is nothing fancy, but OK and the people are quite nice, especially "Robert". Prices rank from 80 to 120 Dollars plus tax a nite for two (at this time of the year)including a little breakfast, which is given in the office or for takeaway from there to your room. Street-address: 15795 Collins Avenue (which is A1A) at the trafficlight for 158th Street = Bayview Drive. SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL (was: N Miami Beach) 33160. Phone: 1.305.947.5671 (24/24) Anyway, let us hope, that this beach can stay open as long as possible, the way it is now: cloth optional! Thanks Gehay for the report.

Haulover Beach Report. March 7, 2005. Today was a sunny and breezy day in South Florida, with temperatures reaching the mid 70s under sunny skies. Parking in the city run lot has increased to $4.00, and if you want to rent a lounge chair, that will set you back an additional $6.00, with an umbrella $7.00 more. The beach was as clean and well groomed as ever, with plenty of trash receptacles both available and being used. There was a good crowd on hand for a Monday in early March too. The lifeguards were of course at their posts and the ever present beach patrol was noticeable as they cruised up and down the beach. No volleyball game today, perhaps the players chose not to visit today. There is still the annoying element that trudges up and down the strand, fully dressed, heads spinning like Linda Blair's character in "The Exorcist" but since this is a public beach, as long as they do no wrong, they can't be chased. Less annoying were the occasional gawkers who stop on the boardwalk to view the scene and try and snap a picture or two. These get chased by either the beach patrol or the occasional police officer who cruises the service road just outside the beach. I was disappointed that the concession stand no longer offered hot dogs, just cold drinks and sunblock. Last year one of the local restaurants would offer delivery service, but I saw no evidence of that, although it may not be worth their while until the activity picks up. Altogether a pleasant, relaxing afternoon. Thanks Irish for the report.

Haulover Beach Report. November 2004. We visited Haulover Beach in north Miami, Florida the first week in November. We spend two days at the beach enjoying the fantastic November weather (84 degree days with 82 degree water!) Our first visit was on a Sunday. We arrived at around 9:30am and found the parking lot about 1/3 full. On the beach we found a large number of sunbathers already assembled; however, there were still spaces available right next to the water south of the volleyball net. Things filled up quickly, and by 11:00am the beach was packed 3-4 deep. We found the north end of the CO area to be more gay, with couples sunning near the volleyball net and south to end of the CO area. Haulover remains one of the best nude beaches we have found in the United States. Weekends draw large crowds of all ages and races. We enjoyed the company of couples visiting from Seattle, France, and Washington DC. We enjoyed long swims in the water, although swimmers should be aware that there are strong riptides along the beach and the beach bottom is uneven in places. (Lifeguards are located in stands at regular intervals along the length of the beach.) Nevertheless, we could not resist the opportunity to swim in the ocean in early November...a pleasure relatively few in the States can enjoy. We returned to the beach the following Thursday and found a thinner, more subdued, but equally diverse, crowd. We arrived at the beach around 10:15am and found only a handful of cars in the parking lot. We easily located a spot right on the water and enjoyed another day of basking in the glorious south Florida sunshine. The beach crowd grew a bit in the afternoon, but it was not nearly as busy as the weekend visit. Again, we consider Haulover to be one the best nude beaches we have seen in the States. Definitely a "must-visit" if you ever find yourself in south Florida. Thanks Tom & Kylie for the report.

Johnson Beach near Pensacola. January 2007. It is a little-known, but naturist-friendly and often-used beach. It is on the east end of Perdido Key, between Pensacola and Gulf Shores. After entering the main park area, drive down the frontage road along the beach (about 2 miles) and park near the end of the road. Walk about a quarter mile east on the ocean side until you see a camping sign, and you're in the nudist-friendly area. There usually aren't more than 10 people here, but the rangers know what goes on and allow it, as long as there are no children or protesting beach-goers around. The person who sent me the information wished to remain anonymous but thanks for the information!

Key West Report. October-November 2004. My wife and I recently visited Key West and enjoyed quite a few clothing optional opportunities. Our first stop was at Higgs Beach at the south end of White Street. Although not clothing optional, we found several topfree women enjoying the fantastic fall weather; however, never did we see more than about 25% of the women on the beach sans suit tops. There are still no official clothing optional beaches on Key West, although the Florida Keys Naturists have a petition available in the members section of their website (http://www.fkn.cc) to make a portion of Higgs Beach clothing optional. Contact FKN for more information... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Lake Como Report. March 2005. I had not visited Como for over a year and in that time there have been several improvements and upgrades. Most noticeable is new signage that points to the club from Route 41 as one turns onto Cot road that leads to the resort. It is important to mention that this road is just past Paradise Lakes with all its bold letters identifying it as a "clothing optional" resort. Not advertised but still in effect is the two hour free pass for dinner guests who wish to sample the fare at their now outsourced restaurant, and I took advantage of this courtesy to enjoy dinner and then a few drinks at the separate bar, the "Butt Hutt." The visitors parking lot is now paved which extends into the motel area which makes for less dust and is easier on the feet. There are also new paved walkways and a general feeling of freshness that was absent in the past. The food and service was excellent and they now accept AMEX, excellent for us on the old expense account. The restaurant itself has been refreshed with an old partition between the bar area and dining room gone, new carpeting and more choices in both food and drink. The barstools and table areas also appear to be either new or refurbished. The separate Butt Hutt has also been upgraded, with a larger dance floor and more tables but the area around the bar still has the lovely sand floor and while one cannot smoke in the restaurant, due to the Florida ban on smoking in enclosed areas, the Butt Hutt still permits those who so indulge to enjoy their tobacco products. The resort had hosted the Super Bowl Volleyball IV tournament the previous week and there were still several campers at the site, and while I have no idea of the results of the games, from what I heard in the bar, a great time was had by all. Como is clearly a cut above the more rustic resorts in the area, and they have a very lively Karaoke following, great billiards and darts leagues and many other things to recommend spending time here. I enjoyed my evening and will certainly be back again. Thanks Irish for the report.

Paradise Lakes Report. February 2008. I arrived at Paradise Lakes on Friday February 22, 2008 at about 3PM. Fortunately the weather was cooperating so I was able to enjoy all the facilities. The staff was friendly and the accommodations were excellant. They have a regular pool, a heated pool (92 degrees) and a hot tub, as well as a Key West Bar, a restaurant, and a night club. I think it is a good place for a couple if you like to socialize with like-minded people and enjoy dancing. You have a lot of options. There has been some statements about overt sexual activities at PL. There are signs around the heated pool that management may have you removed if that happens. They also had security at the pool and I did not see anything that would be considered offensive. Also there was a sign asking you to report anything you considered offensive to the management. The club had a good crowd for the DJ dance and the Key West Bar had a Karaoke Night that was well attended. Thanks Rich for the report!

Sunny Sands Nudist Resort Report. May 2008. Sunny Sands is in Pearson, Florida. The last time I was there, meeting a friend from Hidden River Resort , I had heard that Sunny Sands was being sold. If it has been sold, the new owners are doing a nice job maintaining the place. While I've never been disappointed with Sunny Sands, on this trip I found a few changes and improvements. The first thing I noticed was a new, convenient "ticket booth" gatehouse at front of the entrance, much like the one at Cypress Cove in Kissimmee. The perimeter fence of some kind of plastic sheeting that had been showing signs of wear (holes) has now been replaced with a new fence of either metal or vinyl panels. There also appeared to be some remodelling or construction work going on at the club house. Most noticeable were the changes in the short "nature trail". Before it was more "nature" than "trail", not that there is anything wrong with that, but now the trees and underbrush have been nicely cleared and trimmed. The spot on the trail that once featured a weather-worn weight lifting set is now the 6th hole of the small golf course with a pair of lawn chairs. The current drought has reduced the pond that had been the centerpiece of the golf course to a pair of 20 foot puddles, but it will cycle back to normal some day. I walked the trail twice. I had picked up a box lunch at the convenience store in Pearson before coming to the park and I sat at a picnic table in the shade to enjoy my lunch of chicken fingers and grape juice. The pool was a perfect temperature to relax in. As I was "suiting up" to leave a young lady walking by, apparently a resident, and said something about getting dressed being the worst part. I agreed, and answered that it was time for me to go back to the "real" world. She replied that living at Sunny Sands is like living in Paradise. I can't argue with that. Harper in Florida. Thanks Harper for the report.

Sunsations Nudist Travel Club members enjoy the hot summer weather by soaking in various swimming pools while conducting club meetings in their trademark 'roundtable' style. The club is proud of its democratic format, which included everyone's input in designing the club’s attractive new logo and banner, as well as in planning various public relations events. The absence of a landed facility doesn’t seem to slow the growing membership, in fact the variety of destinations has become another unique characteristic of this progressive club. It has been suggested this is more of a food club than a nude club, because of the potlucks held at nearly every Saturday afternoon meeting. Events include trips to clothing-optional beaches, nudist resorts, wilderness destinations, and private house parties. Singles are welcome. To learn more about this fun-oriented group visit the web site, call 941-931-2939 or write Sunsations, 9131 College Pkwy, 13-B-203, Fort Myers, FL 33919. Singles friendly.

We will also list swimming places on lakes, quarries or bays which have unique features that make them especially beautiful or fun for swimming, but not the typical state park lake or ocean beach.

Tampa Area Naturists (TAN) is a naturist organization in the Tampa Bay area. Our mission is to educate everyone, with special consideration given to legistators and public officals, about the benefits of clothing optional recreation. Our goal is to obtain publicly managed, officially sanctioned, clothing-optional beaches in the greater Tampa Bay area. We have been to some of the various Florida Naturist sites, including Haulover Beach in Miami and Playalinda Beach at Cape Canaveral. Our group has enjoyed the relative security of these two officially designated clothing-optional beaches. Tampa Bay and the west coast of Florida has no such beach and if we don't do something about this situation, we can't expect it to get any better. So in that light, we are looking for like minded people who are willing to get involved and work for a clothing-optional beach in the greater Tampa Bay area. If you would like to help, or would like detailed information about the times and places of our activities, please complete the on-line membership form and then send your dues for TAN and/or TNS. Give this address to your friends, recruit like minded people, call us to share your ideas and come to our outings and meetings. Visit the website for additional information.

Warm Mineral Springs. Rating: 3 Moons, but only because there's no area for social nudity; otherwise, it would be 5 Full Moons. Report: Ordinarily, we won't list places that don't allow social nudity somewhere out on the grounds, such as around the pool, but Mother Nature, that most beautiful and creative of all women, leads us to list places where nudity is OK in private rooms. Warm Mineral Springs is one incredible work of Dame Nature we just can't resist listing. 9 MILLION GALLONS of 87 degree water flow out of the 230 feet wide by 230 feet deep spring EVERY day. Can one imagine that? That's INCREDIBLE! That's 72 MILLION pounds of water every day!... (click link to read the rest of the report.)
