Florida, USA
Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is the northern entrance to Canaveral National Seashore, accessed from New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County. The seashore is a 24-mile undeveloped barrier island; Apollo's road ends at parking lot 5, after which the trail-only Klondike Beach stretches south for roughly 12 miles to Playalinda Beach's lot 13 (the seashore's better-known naturist destination). Informal clothing-optional use at Apollo concentrates around lot 5 and the walk-in zone heading south into Klondike — the further you walk, the more reliably nude the beach becomes. This isn't an officially designated nude beach. The National Park Service has tolerated naturist use at this southern stretch of Apollo for decades, but rangers will enforce the standard public-indecency rule against anyone behaving disruptively. The setting is raw Florida coastline: wide flat sand, low dunes, scrub vegetation, no shade, no lifeguards, no facilities beyond vault toilets at the parking lots. Kennedy Space Center launch pads are visible to the south. Bring everything for the day — water, sun protection, food. The lack of commercial infrastructure is the appeal: undeveloped Atlantic coastline you can't find at any developed Florida beach.
Florida, USA
Blind Creek Beach
Blind Creek Beach is one of Florida's officially-designated clothing-optional beaches — a roughly half-mile stretch on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, about 7 miles south of Fort Pierce. It's one of only a small number of US beaches where local government has formally designated a naturist section: in 2014, St. Lucie County set aside 36 acres at Blind Creek for clothing-optional use, supported by the volunteer Treasure Coast Naturists community group. The beach itself sits on the Atlantic side of Hutchinson Island, backed by low dunes and sea grape vegetation. The naturist section is between Blind Creek Park (the southern access) and a marked boundary to the north. North of that boundary the beach continues as a textile public beach toward Pepper Park; south, the C/O section connects to undeveloped state-preserve coastline. The crowd is family-tolerant per Treasure Coast Naturists' positioning, with a mix of Florida regulars, snowbirds in winter, and visitors from the broader Treasure Coast tourist economy. The beach skews quieter than Haulover to the south or Playalinda to the north — partly because of its lower-profile location, partly because of the smaller parking capacity. The 20-or-so spaces fill on summer weekends and during snowbird winter weeks; otherwise the beach is usually relaxed. Conditions are typical Treasure Coast Atlantic — wide sand beach, moderate-to-strong surf depending on weather, frequent sea turtle nesting in summer (the beach is part of designated nesting habitat), and the standard Florida-coast sun-and-sand setup. Portable restrooms are provided at the parking lot.
Florida, USA
Guana Reserve Middle Beach
Guana Reserve Middle Beach is a stretch of undeveloped Atlantic coast within the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, about 10 miles north of St. Augustine, Florida. The reserve covers 73,000 acres of coastal wetlands, beaches, and barrier island habitat between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The clothing-optional tradition occupies a middle section of the reserve's beach, accessible by a hike from the northern beach parking area or by driving the northern section of the beach with a beach driving permit. The beach is wide, flat, and undeveloped — no concessions, no lifeguards, no development behind the dunes. This is working conservation land, and the trade-off for the wild setting is the absence of any facility infrastructure. The GTM Reserve is one of the last relatively undeveloped stretches of Florida Atlantic coast. The combination of sea turtle nesting habitat, shorebird colonies, and the estuarine water quality make this a significant conservation area in a state that has lost most of its natural coastline to development.
Florida, USA
Hagens Cove
Hagens Cove is a quiet Gulf Coast beach in Taylor County, Florida — on the Nature Coast, a stretch of undeveloped Gulf shoreline between the Apalachee Bay and the Suwannee River delta. This part of Florida is conspicuously undeveloped compared to the Gulf Coast south of Tampa Bay: the Nature Coast has no resort cities, minimal public beaches, and a rural character defined by fishing, timber, and the natural spring systems of the Suwannee and Withlacoochee watersheds. The clothing-optional tradition at Hagens Cove is informal and local-knowledge-based. The cove sits in the Big Bend of Florida, where the peninsula turns from Atlantic to Gulf orientation, and the shallow Gulf water here is exceptionally warm in summer (85–88°F) and calmer than either the Atlantic coast or the deeper Gulf to the south. The beach itself is rocky with oyster bars — not a swimming beach in the conventional sense, but a scenic tidal flat that has attracted naturists who appreciate its remoteness. Taylor County is about 60 miles south of Tallahassee via US 98. The coastal area is primarily accessible by boat or by driving the rural roads that end at various launch sites and beach access points along the Nature Coast.
Florida, USA
Haulover Beach
Haulover Beach is the most visited clothing-optional beach in North America. It's part of a Miami-Dade county park with about a mile of official nude sunbathing area between lifeguard towers. The beach sits on a barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. You'll find full facilities here — paved parking lots, restrooms, outdoor showers, and a snack bar. Lifeguards are on duty year-round. The sand is clean and wide, with good swimming conditions most days. Weekends draw hundreds of people, weekdays are quieter but still well-attended. The crowd is genuinely mixed. You'll see retirees, young couples, families, solo visitors, tourists, and locals. It's normal to see people playing volleyball, walking the shoreline, or reading under umbrellas. The atmosphere is relaxed and social without being party-focused. Clothing is optional, not required. Plenty of people wear swimsuits in the transition zones near the towers. The middle section between towers 12 and 16 is where most people go nude. Miami Beach police occasionally patrol but enforcement is rare as long as behavior stays appropriate. Haulover Beach parking is available in multiple lots off Collins Avenue, costing $5 to $7 on weekdays and $10 on weekends and holidays for cars. Parking can be paid directly via the PayByPhone app or at on-site kiosks. Arrive before 10am on weekends or you'll circle for a spot. There's no shade, so bring an umbrella or tent.
Florida, USA
Passage Key
Passage Key is a small uninhabited island at the northern entrance to Tampa Bay, managed as Passage Key National Wildlife Refuge. Accessible only by boat, the island has a sand spit and beach that Florida boaters have long treated as an informal clothing-optional destination — the combination of boat-only access, no facilities, and NWR status that limits official oversight has made it a quiet C/O tradition among the Tampa Bay boating community. The island is primarily a bird rookery — home to laughing gulls, brown pelicans, and black skimmers — and visitors are technically supposed to stay on the beach rather than wandering into the interior vegetation. The sand spit facing the Gulf provides flat, shallow-water anchorage for boats, with calm, warm water in the protected bay entrance most of the year. The C/O tradition is most active among locals who anchor off the sand spit on calm days, particularly on weekdays when boat traffic is lighter. Be aware that the FWS does monitor the wildlife refuge periodically during nesting season.
Florida, USA
Playalinda Beach
Playalinda Beach is the southern access point to Canaveral National Seashore — a 24-mile undeveloped barrier island on Florida's Atlantic coast. Playalinda itself covers roughly six miles of that stretch, with thirteen numbered parking lots running south to north along the park road. The clothing-optional zone sits at the far north end, beyond lot 13. Walk north from the lot along the sand — some people go a quarter mile, others farther — until you reach the area where people are nude. There's no signage marking it; the transition happens organically as you move away from the main crowds. The beach is wide and undeveloped, with dunes lining the back and thick sea oats. There are no bathrooms or showers past the parking area, so plan accordingly. The Atlantic here is open ocean with moderate surf and occasional rip currents; lifeguards don't patrol the north end. Canaveral National Seashore is federal land managed by the National Park Service. Entry is $20 per vehicle for a seven-day pass. Hours vary by season — closing time can shift to before sunset in winter. Kennedy Space Center sits across Mosquito Lagoon to the southwest; launch pads 39A and 39B are only about five miles south of lot 13 and clearly visible from the beach. Rocket launches occasionally close the park entirely for security. Check the park website before you drive out — cell service is spotty once you're on the island, and Playalinda fills its lots quickly on weekends from April through October.
Florida, USA
Boca Chica Beach
Boca Chica Beach is a quiet, shell-strewn stretch of sand on Boca Chica Key in the Lower Florida Keys, at the western end of the Overseas Highway corridor about 10 miles east of Key West. The beach faces the Florida Strait and gets the warm, clear shallow water typical of the Lower Keys — flat calm on most days, with gradual sandy bottom and the occasional sea turtle or small nurse shark visible in the shallows. The clothing-optional tradition here is informal and long-established among Key West locals and visitors who know to explore beyond the main development corridor. Boca Chica Key's limited road access and the adjacent Naval Air Station Key West (which restricts civilian movement in parts of the island chain) means that the beach sees far less traffic than the more accessible Key West beaches. That quiet is the primary appeal. Key West's historically LGBTQ+-friendly, body-positive culture extends to the surrounding islands — the Keys have a long history of C/O beach use, and Boca Chica fits into that tradition rather than standing apart from it.
Florida, USA
Casper Beach
Casper Beach is a quiet stretch of Atlantic-facing beach in Martin County, Florida, south of Stuart on the outer barrier island. Like several undeveloped barrier island beaches between West Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, it sees far fewer visitors than the more publicized stretches to the north and south, and has developed a local reputation for informal clothing-optional use at its more secluded stretches. Martin County's Atlantic beaches benefit from relatively low development density compared to Palm Beach and Broward counties, and the local culture — more boating-and fishing-oriented than resort tourism — means less beach surveillance and a more live-and-let-live attitude toward C/O visitors. The beach itself is typical Treasure Coast: hard-packed sand, warm Gulf Stream-influenced water, and sea turtle nesting activity in summer (May–October) that discourages nighttime beach use. The informal C/O section is at the less-accessible reaches of the beach, away from parking areas and public access points.
Florida, USA
Cypress Cove Nudist Resort
Cypress Cove sits on 300 acres of central Florida woodland, about 20 minutes south of Orlando's theme park corridor. It's one of the largest and most established nudist resorts in North America, operating since 1964. You'll find a mix of overnight guests, day visitors, and full-time residents who own homes or rent long-term on the property. The main draw is the enormous lake with a sandy beach, swim-up pool bar, and multiple hot tubs. There's also a standard swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball, a fitness center, and a full-service spa. The on-site Cheeks restaurant serves three meals daily and gets decent reviews for resort food. A small store sells basics and resort wear for when you need to cover up in transition areas. Accommodation options range from basic hotel rooms to lakeside villas with full kitchens. Many people stay for a week or longer. The crowd skews older, especially midweek, but you'll see more age variety on weekends. The atmosphere is social but not pushy—you can participate as much or as little as you want. This is a clothing-optional resort in practice, though nudity is strongly encouraged in pool and lake areas. You'll need to cover up in the restaurant, store, and front office. It's clean, well-maintained, and professional in operation. If you're looking for a full-amenity resort experience rather than a rustic campground, Cypress Cove delivers that in a clothing-free environment.
Florida, USA
Hidden Lake Resort
Hidden Lake Nudist Resort sits on 40 wooded acres in the Florida Panhandle's pine country, about 45 minutes northeast of Pensacola and a few miles south of the Alabama line. It's a member-owned AANR-affiliated resort that operates as a traditional clothing-optional campground—you can stay clothed or go nude, though most guests choose nudity around the pool and lake. The centerpiece is a spring-fed lake where you can swim, paddle, or cast a line; the spring water stays notably cooler than Florida air in the summer months. You'll find a mix of RV sites with hookups, tent camping spots, and rental cabins for those without an RV. A heated pool and hot tub sit near the clubhouse, which has a kitchen that serves meals on weekends during busy stretches. There's a volleyball court and wooded trails if you want to walk the property. The vibe is low-key and social—this isn't a luxury resort. It's part of Florida's small network of inland naturist resorts, most of which are member-run co-ops that welcome non-member visitors for a day-use or overnight fee. Hidden Lake appeals to people who want a quiet, forested setting rather than a beach scene. The location is remote enough that you'll need a car, but close enough to Pensacola for a grocery run.
Florida, USA
Sunnier Palms
Sunnier Palms sits on 40 acres of central Florida land in Fort Pierce, about halfway up the state's Atlantic coast. You'll find it inland, not on the beach—this is a landlocked resort with grassy lawns, shaded areas under mature trees, and RV sites alongside standard accommodations. The property centers around a large pool area and clubhouse. There's a hot tub, shuffleboard courts, and horseshoe pits. Most visitors are seasonal snowbirds or retirees, especially in winter months. The atmosphere leans quiet and social rather than activity-packed. People chat by the pool, play cards in the clubhouse, or just read under a tree. You can stay in motel-style rooms, rent an RV site with full hookups, or park a trailer long-term if you're wintering in Florida. Day passes are available if you want to test it out first. The grounds are well-maintained but not fancy—think functional and comfortable rather than luxurious. Fort Pierce itself is a small city with grocery stores, restaurants, and basic services within a short drive. The Atlantic beaches are about 20 minutes east if you want to break up your stay. Sunnier Palms works well if you're looking for a low-key, clothes-free environment without a lot of bells and whistles.
Florida, USA
Sunsport Gardens
Sunsport Gardens is a family-friendly naturist resort on 40 acres in Loxahatchee, west of Palm Beach. You'll find a mix of overnight guests and day visitors, plus a residential community of members who live on-site year-round. The property includes a large pool, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball, and lake access for kayaking or paddleboarding. Trails wind through wooded areas if you want to walk or bike. Accommodations range from basic motel-style rooms to cottages and RV sites. Some units have kitchenettes. The clubhouse has a restaurant and bar that serves breakfast and lunch on weekends, plus dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. You can also grill at your site or use communal BBQ areas. Sunsport caters to couples and families. Single men need to contact the office in advance for approval and pay a higher day rate. Kids are welcome, and you'll see them around the pool and playground. The atmosphere is low-key—people read, swim, play games, or just sit in the sun. Weekends get busier, especially during events like themed dinners or live music nights. The resort is about 20 minutes from the turnpike and an hour from both coasts. Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. If you're visiting for the day, arrive early on weekends because parking fills up. Memberships are available if you plan to visit often, which lowers your daily fees.
Florida, USA
Suwannee Valley Resort
Suwannee Valley Resort sits on 63 acres of rolling North Florida terrain near White Springs, about an hour west of Jacksonville. You'll find a mix of open lawn, shaded hammocks, and tall pines. The Suwannee River is nearby, though not directly on the property. This is a family-friendly, AANR-affiliated resort that's been around for decades. The main amenities include a heated pool, hot tub, volleyball courts, and a clubhouse with a small café. There are RV sites with full hookups, tent camping areas, and a few rental cabins if you don't want to bring your own lodging. The grounds are well-kept but not fancy. It's a working resort, not a luxury spa. Most visitors are regulars or families who've been coming for years. Weekends can get busy, especially during events or warm-weather months. Midweek visits are quieter. The atmosphere is casual and social. People play cards, swim, and chat by the pool. If you prefer solitude, you can find a quiet spot under the trees, but this isn't a remote wilderness experience. The resort hosts seasonal events like potlucks, themed weekends, and holiday gatherings. Check their calendar if you want to join in or avoid crowds. Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. Bring cash for the café and any on-site purchases, though they may accept cards at the office.
Florida, USA
Caliente Resort & Spa
Caliente Resort & Spa is the adults-only, upscale anchor of the Pasco County naturist cluster — 70+ acres in Land O' Lakes, about 30 minutes north of Tampa. Opened in 2001, it's the highest-end of Florida's clothing-optional properties, positioned more as a vacation resort with a nightclub scene than the community-clubhouse vibe of Lake Como or the relaxed RV setup at Bare RV. The pool area is the centerpiece: a lagoon-style heated pool with a swim-up bar, plus two additional pools and several hot tubs. The on-site restaurant, nightclub, and lounge stay active through the evening — themed weekends, DJ-driven dance nights, and live entertainment are part of the regular calendar. Tennis, pickleball, and petanque courts round out the daytime amenities. Accommodation options include hotel-style rooms, villas, and a small number of rental condos within the surrounding Caliente Drive naturist community. The crowd skews 30s through 60s, and the social scene leans extroverted — comfortable with crowds, ready to dance, and not shy. First-timers can ease in via day-use passes Sunday through Thursday; weekend events draw a fuller party crowd that may feel intense if you're new to social nudism. Couples-friendly with single-male restrictions on certain dates per the resort's standard policy.
Florida, USA
Hidden River
Hidden River is a clothing-optional resort on wooded acreage in rural Baker County, Florida, about 30 miles west of Jacksonville. It's a modest, member-and-guest operation typical of Florida's network of small naturist parks—think RV-friendly campground more than luxury spa. The property centers on a small stocked lake with a swimming beach and a heated pool that serves as the main gathering spot, especially on weekends. Accommodations include RV hookups, tent sites, and basic cabins for overnights, plus day-use passes for visitors. Amenities are functional: a clubhouse with kitchen and lounge, outdoor grills, volleyball courts, and fishing access on the lake. The atmosphere is laid-back and low-pressure, drawing a mix of weekenders, snowbirds, and a handful of long-term RV residents. During the week it's quiet; on warm-weather weekends and holidays it livens up with more day visitors. This is not a resort in the spa-and-concierge sense—it's a simple, family-friendly place where people come to relax outdoors without clothes. Florida has a decent cluster of small naturist resorts, and Hidden River fits that mold: unpretentious, affordable, and community-oriented rather than commercial.
Florida, USA
Naked Place
Naked Place presents one of the more enigmatic entries in Florida's naturist landscape. Appearing on maps as a natural feature near Sanford in Seminole County, this location sits in a region dense with lakes, rivers, and wooded parcels northeast of Orlando. The sparse digital footprint — just a handful of enthusiastic reviews and no documented amenities — suggests this is likely an informal, word-of-mouth spot rather than an established resort or commercial venue. It could be a secluded swimming hole on private land, a quiet lakefront accessed by locals, or a legacy map pin from an earlier era of informal clothing-optional gathering. Florida's naturist scene centers primarily on well-established resorts further south and along the Gulf Coast, making this Seminole County location an outlier geographically. The St. Johns River corridor here offers plenty of natural screening and water access, which historically has attracted low-key naturist use, but without verified landowner permission, legal status, or public access rights, the viability of this spot remains unclear. If Naked Place is indeed active, it's likely sustained by a small circle of regulars who value privacy and keep a low profile. Anyone curious should approach with caution, verify current conditions through local naturist networks, and respect private property boundaries. This is not a drop-in destination with signage and parking.
Florida, USA
Neighborhood Associations of Paradise Lakes
Paradise Lakes sits just north of Tampa in Lutz, covering about 70 acres of year-round clothing-optional living and resort space. This is primarily a residential community—people actually live here full-time—but it welcomes visitors for day passes, overnight stays, and special events. You'll find a large pool area, hot tubs, a lakefront beach, tennis and volleyball courts, and a clubhouse with a restaurant and bar. The vibe leans social and active, not quiet retreat. The property mixes permanent residents with short-term guests, so expect a neighborhood feel. Families are welcome, and you'll see a range of ages. Weekends get busier, especially during themed events or pool parties. The lake is swimmable, though most people stick to the pool complex. Accommodations include rental units ranging from basic rooms to full villas, plus RV sites if you're traveling in a camper. Book ahead for weekends or holiday periods. Day visitors can purchase passes at the gate, but call first to confirm hours and availability—some days are reserved for members or private events. This isn't a secluded nature spot. You're close to suburban Tampa, so expect some road noise and standard Florida heat. The grounds are well-maintained, but it's a functioning community, not a manicured resort. If you want a clothing-optional pool day with social options and easy logistics, Paradise Lakes handles that. If you want wilderness solitude, look elsewhere.
Florida, USA
Sunny Sands Resort
Sunny Sands Resort occupies 40 wooded acres in rural Volusia County, about an hour north of Orlando and roughly 30 miles inland from the Daytona Beach coast. It's a member-owned cooperative that's been operating since the 1960s, giving it that lived-in, community-run character you find in established AANR-affiliated clubs rather than glossy commercial resorts. The property hosts a mix of permanent residents in park models and RVs alongside overnight visitors who stay in motel rooms or camp. Facilities include two heated pools, a hot tub, tennis and shuffleboard courts, and a clubhouse where the community gathers for potlucks and themed social events. The grounds are heavily shaded by mature oak trees—a genuine asset during Florida's punishing summers. There's a small fishing lake on site, though it's not open for swimming. The overall vibe leans quiet and social rather than activity-driven or party-oriented. Pierson itself is a tiny agricultural town with minimal services, so you'll want to stock up on supplies before arrival. This is the kind of place that works best if you're looking for a relaxed, multigenerational community atmosphere rather than resort amenities or nightlife. Long-term members anchor the culture, and the pace reflects central Florida's rural character more than its tourist corridor.
Florida, USA
Bare RV Resort
Bare RV Resort is a clothing-optional campground in Land O Lakes, about 30 minutes north of Tampa. It's designed for RVers and campers who want a relaxed, social nudist experience without the scale or intensity of larger resorts. You'll find full hookup RV sites, tent camping spots, and a few overnight accommodations if you don't have your own rig. The property isn't huge, but it packs in the basics: a pool and hot tub for lounging, volleyball courts (including water volleyball in the pool), tennis, and hiking trails that wind through Florida scrub and pine. There's a restaurant and bar on-site, plus regular entertainment like live music or themed weekends. It's more low-key than the mega-resorts nearby—think potlucks and campfire vibe rather than nightclub energy. First-timers often worry about feeling exposed or awkward. Most guests here are friendly, regular folks who just prefer being nude outdoors. You're not required to be naked everywhere, and no one's watching or judging. The crowd skews older, especially on weekdays, but families and younger visitors show up on weekends. If you're new to social nudism, this is a decent starting point—small enough to feel approachable, active enough that you're not the only one there.
Florida, USA
Paradise Pines RV Park
Paradise Pines RV Park sits on 40 acres of wooded land in Lutz, about 20 miles north of Tampa. It's a members-only, family-oriented naturist resort that focuses on RV camping, though they also have a few rental units. The property feels more like a quiet camping retreat than a resort with extensive amenities. You'll find a heated pool, hot tub, and a clubhouse where members gather for potlucks and events. The grounds include shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, and walking trails through the pines. Most of the property is shaded, which helps during Florida's hot summers. The atmosphere is low-key and social—regulars know each other, and newcomers are usually welcomed into conversations. This is primarily an RV park, so if you're tent camping or looking for hotel-style accommodations, your options are limited. Most visitors are seasonal snowbirds or Florida locals who keep RVs on-site. The facilities are well-maintained but basic. If you want a water park or restaurant, look elsewhere. If you want a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors without clothes and meet friendly people, this works. Visitors must be sponsored by a member or go through a screening process. Call ahead—they don't accept walk-ins. The park enforces family-friendly conduct rules strictly.
Florida, USA
Bay Bares
Bay Bares is a member-owned AANR-affiliated club tucked into the wooded low country of Florida's Panhandle, about thirty minutes north of Panama City Beach. It's a cooperative in the truest sense: members share maintenance duties, organize potlucks, and keep the grounds running without paid staff. The property is heavily forested, with trails threading through the pines and clearings for camping and lounging. You'll find a swimming pool, a clubhouse, RV hookups, and tent sites, but no restaurant, spa, or polished amenities. Most visitors are regional regulars who come for weekend camping trips or Saturday swims. The atmosphere is quiet, low-key, and neighborly—everyone knows each other's name. Day visitors are welcome if you call ahead, but this isn't a drop-in tourist spot. It's the kind of place where people help stack firewood and pitch in for a potluck dinner on Saturday night. The setting is pretty in a subtle way: dappled light through live oaks, the hum of cicadas, and plenty of space to spread out. If you're looking for a glossy resort experience, this won't be it. But if you want a cooperative club where naturism feels like a low-fuss backyard gathering among friends, Bay Bares delivers exactly that.
Florida, USA
Lake Como Family Nudist Resort
Lake Como Family Nudist Resort is a member-owned co-op spread across 200 acres of Florida scrub and pine forest in Pasco County, about 20 miles north of Tampa. It's part of the older wave of AANR-affiliated clubs that define naturism in Florida—member-run, family-oriented, and more community than commercial resort. Many members park RVs semi-permanently or own small cabins on-site, so you'll see familiar faces and a strong sense of continuity. It's not a party scene; the vibe is relaxed and low-key. The property is large enough that most people drive golf carts between areas. You'll find a swimming pool, tennis and volleyball courts, petanque lanes, and trails threading through the woods. There's a small on-site restaurant and bar, plus occasional entertainment events. Overnight visitors can choose tent sites or RV hookups. Because it's a co-op, the facilities are functional rather than fancy—some areas show their age, and you won't find polished resort amenities. Lake Como works best for visitors who value community atmosphere and outdoor space over luxury finishes. It's a solid choice if you're exploring Florida's naturist network and want a taste of how member-owned clubs operate in the US.
Florida, USA
The Island Group
The Island Group is one of Florida's older naturist clubs, operating since 1954 on land that was once part of Dupree Gardens in Pasco County, about 30 miles north of Tampa. It's a member-owned, non-profit cooperative—meaning no paid staff, no resort amenities, and a DIY spirit runs through everything. Members volunteer to maintain the grounds and organize activities. This is an adults-only venue (18+), so the atmosphere skews social and relaxed rather than family-oriented. The facilities are straightforward: a pool, tennis and volleyball courts, petanque and water volleyball areas, and a screened dining pavilion with kitchen access. You're expected to bring your own food and beverages; there's no restaurant or bar service. Outdoor grills are available if you prefer cooking outside. The vibe is neighborly—long-timers mix with curious first-timers, and the lack of commercial polish means you're trading luxury for affordability and a genuine sense of community. It's not a destination resort, but rather a shared space where people who appreciate low-key social nudity can gather without pretense. If you're looking for cabana service or planned entertainment, look elsewhere. If you want a place where you can pack a cooler, play a few rounds of petanque, and chat by the pool without anyone trying to upsell you, The Island Group delivers exactly that.
Florida, USA
City Retreat NLC
City Retreat NLC sits on 22 acres in Hudson, about an hour north of Tampa. It's a small, member-owned resort that feels more like a neighborhood than a typical vacation spot. You'll find a mix of permanent residents in manufactured homes and RV sites, plus a few rental units for visitors. The property has a heated pool, hot tub, clubhouse, and a small lake for fishing. There's a volleyball court and shuffleboard if you're feeling active. The atmosphere here is quiet and low-key. Most visitors are regulars who know each other, so it can feel a bit like joining someone else's family reunion at first. People are friendly once you say hello, but don't expect a welcome committee. This isn't a party resort. It's the kind of place where people read by the pool, play cards in the clubhouse, and turn in early. The facilities are older but maintained. Don't expect luxury amenities or restaurant service. There's a small camp store for basics, but you'll want to bring your own food or drive into Hudson for groceries. The lake attracts some wildlife, which means bugs in summer. Bring repellent. If you're looking for a relaxed, affordable spot where you can spend a few days without crowds or structured activities, City Retreat works. If you need entertainment or modern facilities, look elsewhere.
Florida, USA
Crossed Oaks Haven
Crossed Oaks Haven sits in Silver Springs, Florida, where you'll find a smaller resort that leans into both nature and community events. The property has the basics—pool, volleyball courts (including water volleyball), tennis, and hiking trails that let you explore the surrounding woods. They also offer tent sites if you're the camping type. What sets this place apart is their event calendar. They host "show your full moon" bowling nights a few times a year, plus they've done a solar plunge event with live music. They organize benefit events too, like fundraisers for Wigs for Kids. Future plans might include a 5K run or beach volleyball tournaments. If you're someone who likes a little organized activity mixed in with your downtime, this could work for you. The atmosphere seems geared toward people who want a laid-back experience without the scale of a mega-resort. You won't find elaborate facilities here, but you will find trails, water activities, and a group that enjoys getting together for themed events. It's more about the social side of naturism than luxury amenities. Check their website for the current event schedule before you visit, since those special events seem to be a big part of what they offer.
Florida, USA
First Coast Naturists
First Coast Naturists is a member-owned club on 22 wooded acres in western Jacksonville, part of the traditional network of small, cooperative naturist clubs found across the southern United States. Unlike commercial resorts that cater to drop-in visitors, this is structured as a members-only co-op—think of it more like a neighborhood than a destination resort. The property includes RV sites, a few rental units, a pool and hot tub, a clubhouse with kitchen facilities, and a small pond, all connected by mowed paths through the trees. The pool serves as the social hub, especially on weekends when members gather for potlucks, themed parties, and seasonal events. During the week it's quiet, sometimes nearly empty. The community here tends to be tight-knit, with regulars who've been coming for years. Jacksonville sits at the northeastern corner of Florida, about 30 minutes from both downtown and the Atlantic beaches, making this a convenient home base for local naturists but not really a tourist draw. The wooded setting provides good privacy, and the scale is intimate—this isn't a place with activities directors or resort amenities. It's for people who want simple, social nudity in a low-key setting among familiar faces.
Florida, USA
The Oasis Residential Community
The Oasis is a clothing-optional residential community in Land O'Lakes, roughly 25 miles north of Tampa in Pasco County. This is a gated neighborhood where people live year-round, not a commercial resort or club you can casually drop into for the day. Around 200 homes occupy about 40 acres, with residents sharing access to a central clubhouse, heated pool, and hot tub. The atmosphere skews quiet and community-focused—think neighbors chatting by the pool or tending gardens nude on a weekday afternoon, not weekend party crowds. Florida has a scattered network of landed naturist clubs and residential communities, and The Oasis fits the latter category: it's designed for full-time or seasonal residents who've committed to the lifestyle, not transient visitors. You can visit if you're a guest of a resident, and the community occasionally hosts open house events for prospective buyers or organized naturist groups, but walk-up day passes aren't available the way they are at traditional membership clubs. Most residents are retirees or semi-retirees who appreciate the low-key, clothing-optional environment as part of daily life. If you're exploring naturist living options in the Tampa Bay area, The Oasis represents the residential end of the spectrum—less about amenities and activities, more about simply living without clothes among like-minded neighbors.
