“Anyone who has ever gone to a naturist camp knows that the clothed beach next to it is far sexier than the naturist one, where everything is on display and nothing left to the imagination.  It's not about sex, never has been.” – Trisul, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/nudefest-2015-uk-naturists-fear-growing-interest-in-lifestyle-puts-annual-gathering-at-risk-a6743691.html#commentsDiv

“While my hotel in Fuerteventura provided direct naked access to the adjacent naturist beach for my daily naked sunrise/sunset runs, I had to don my running shorts to cross the busy road to access the seemingly never-ending dunes. . . Running naked through this arid landscape was incredibly different to running along the refreshing sea: there was no water to cool my feet or lower the temperature, the cool sea breeze had been transformed into a hot, dry breeze by the scorching landscape, the foot hazards were multiplied and the undulating terrain turned it all into a hill run. . . Up close, this was stunning. . . Unfortunately, the beauty aside, this surface was not easy to run on.  It was hard and the shells would crack and break under pressure . . . After attempting barefoot for a few minutes, I returned to my running shoes and set off. . . It was more like a hilly obstacle course.  What a stunning landscape, though!  And, it would appear, there were creatures everywhere. . . It was humbling to be running in the footsteps of so many creatures, large and small – some of the unidentified prints were surprisingly large.  While I was alone, I was also one of many living things dashing across the landscape.” (Video: https://vimeo.com/140167319 ) - http://nakedmanrunning.me/2015/09/16/naked-run-6-2-fuerteventura-dunes/

“I love the sun, I love being naked, I am proud of my body and I like getting to meet other naked people.  This is the only place in London you can legally sunbathe naked.  This is a very British problem - why are we so prudish in this country?  In Germany every park has an area for naked people.  It is a human right - everyone in the country should have somewhere to sunbathe naked.” – Michael Peacock

“During our May 2010 vacation we stopped at a campground on California’s scenic Hwy 1, south of Big Sur, across the street from Sand Dollar Beach.  After setting up camp, we walked down to see the beach.  A well-maintained trail with easy stairs descends to a rocky beach.  We walked clothed (after all this is a traditionally clothed beach) to the far north end where it was sandy and far enough from the few others on the beach to get comfortable.  We enjoyed the warm sun on our bodies as we explored the cliffs and walked the sandy portion of the beach for a half hour or so before the sun began setting – it was time to dress and return.  We talked with several people on the way back who were searching the rocky shore for topaz.  We joined in and found several nice specimens – fun.  (By the way, we also found one sand dollar.)  The ocean mist slowly moved in as we left the beach.  We enjoyed a pleasant night camping naked in our tent.” - Kenfreehiker
