After East Coast businessman Jay Randolph Lattimore approves the designs for a new gymnasium he is donating, he discusses with his attorney and an associate how he has recently undergone a complete personality change: Susan, the widow of Lattimore's son Tom, who was killed in the war, confronts the gruff, bitter Lattimore with the news that she and her six-year-old daughter Joan will no longer be dependent upon him and are leaving his house to move to Miami, where she believes she can resume her modeling career. Lattimore, meanwhile, receives a phone call from the police advising him that Susan and Joan are safe at the Garden of Eden, which he assumes is a motel. After Johnny discovers that the car repair will take several days, Susan, fully dressed, wanders outside to meet several of the nudists, including a theater director, who expresses an interest in her acting ability. Later, Joan asks her mother if she feels funny being the only person with clothes on. Pasco, the semi-rural west coast patch just north ofTampaandSt. Petersburg, boasts some two dozen nudist resorts and clubs within 90 minutes ofOrlandoor Tampa, some also surrounded by clothing-optional housing communities. Briony Newsome, the acting chair of the Shap open-air swimming pool committee in Cumbria, decided to warn neighbours whose houses overlook the pool when they started holding their regular monthly sessions recently. We’re thinking of making it a monthly event now, from June to September,” he said. “It’s a great business opportunity: because there aren’t many naturism events, you’re guaranteed lots more people coming than we might usually attract.

There are far too many sources about Florida naturist attractions and organizations to list here, but here are a few: And, naturally, there’s the main attraction for those who relish the feel of the sun's rays on their bare skin – Florida's nearly year-round sunshine and inviting weather. It seems fitting that the Sunshine State would be a magnet for sun worshipers from around the world.Lins says a highlight of their adventures so far was a stunning beach in Colombia, in Tayrona National Park. We were making a good profit from the sessions last year, but now people are clearly thinking: ‘Do I go for a nice naked swim or do I stay home?’ You can learn more about Haulover, and the do’s and don’ts at the nude section of the beach, by visiting the information booth near lifeguard station #15 or by asking a Haulover Beach Ambassador. Blind Creek Beach Although Lattimore states he will not allow Susan to leave with his granddaughter, he later observes them as they say goodbye to the housekeeper and drive away. Early in the morning, on the outskirts of Tampa, Susan is confused by a detour in the highway, and the car breaks down in a remote area. Fortunately, another driver, Johnny Patterson, is on the road and attempts to fix the car. When he realizes a professional mechanic is required, he invites Susan and Joan to rest at the nearby Garden of Eden resort until a garage opens. After making them comfortable in a cabin at the "members only" resort, Johnny leaves to arrange to have the car worked on, but fails to advise Susan and Joan that they are in the middle of a nudist colony.

They hold one event alongside us and then realise it’s a great commercial opportunity: if they put on something a bit unusual at a time of the week when they wouldn’t usually be open or have many customers, they get a guaranteed crowd.” Kids spend their days splashing in the pool, families have meals together in the restaurant and bar, and visitors make friends over games of horseshoes and petanque. Perhaps the most Florida-esque activity one can do at Sunny Sands is play nine rounds on their golf course while in the buff. Caliente Club and Resorts

This reissue of Immediate Family has been printed using new scans and separations from Mann’s original prints, which were taken with an 8 x 10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition. Granted, during winter it’s chilly. A windbreak and jelly shoes are a recommended addition in any season. Any hardship of hiking down a hillside is more than made up for by the community feeling where like-minded naturists congregate — then generally ignore one another.

Everything you might want to know is found in the name of Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort. There's plenty of sun at this Loxahatchee Groves resort and a mix of traditional sports fields and outdoor adventures like kayaking and canoeing in the lakes. The couple enjoy visiting naturist beaches, including this one at Bagheera in Corsica. Courtesy Naked Wanderings We’re now thinking of having an event every month,” said Drury, a former headteacher. “We held the first event because we’re a socially responsive company, but we’re going to make it a regular thing because it makes good business sense; when we hold these skinny dips, we’re inundated.” The couple’s internet presence aimed both to showcase their fun adventures, and provide information on the naturist lifestyle, and nude-friendly resorts across the world. Like naturists themselves, the resorts catering to nudists come in all shapes and sizes, and appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Florida's 34 resorts range from rustic allure to luxury, family-centric to LGBTQ.American nudist pioneer Reed Supplee founded a nudist destination called Sunny Palms in 1948 in Florida City. After losing the Sunny Palms land following Supplee’s death, members of his community banded together as a co-op and found new land to create their nudist community in 1992 in Fort Pierce.

This is Florida the way it was when the first explorers sighted them in Columbus’s day: dunes covered with a mantle of sea oats and seagrape, beach sunflowers and berries. It remains the longest undeveloped stretch of oceanfront on Florida’s east coast. A few years on, they started their blog. The aim, the couple says, was to debunk some of the myths surrounding naturism. Mainstream companies are increasingly realising that catering to the “buff pound” makes sound business sense. Andrew Welch, from British Naturism, said venues now regularly hold their own naturist events after having hosted a one-off occasion with his organisation.

It makes perfect business sense because we’re reaching a whole new client base; naturists are prepared to travel for miles – we had people from the Isle of Wight and from Portsmouth.” We’re wondering if it might be a new string to our bow too,” she mused. “I think naturist families who come to our events might well decide to hire the pool out privately at another time for naturist sessions just for themselves and their similarly minded friends.”
