About this place
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.

Who visits
Primarily AANR members and families who return regularly. The co-op structure attracts retirees and long-term naturists who value community continuity over transient resort experiences. You'll see a range of ages, but the demographic skews older. Families with children visit during school breaks and weekends. Solo travelers are less common but welcomed.
How to find it
Lake Como is in rural Pasco County near Lutz, roughly 20 miles north of Tampa off US-41. Cot Road is a quiet two-lane that dead-ends at the property. You'll need a car; there's no public transit. The entrance is gated—call ahead or check the club's contact info for visitor procedures and gate codes.
Things to watch out for
As a member-owned co-op, Lake Como may require AANR membership or charge day-use fees for non-members. Policies vary, so confirm visitor access and any fees before driving out. Florida summers are brutally hot and humid; spring and fall are more comfortable. Mosquitoes can be aggressive near wooded trails—bring repellent.

Etiquette & ground rules
Lake Como is family-focused, so act accordingly. Kids run around and play—this is normal and expected. Always carry a towel to sit on. Nudity is required at the pool and expected throughout the property, though some people cover up on trails or in common areas depending on weather or preference. No phones or cameras outside your own site unless you have explicit permission. Golf carts have right of way on the roads. The restaurant has specific hours—check when you arrive. If you're visiting for the day, stop at the office first to register and pay. Don't assume you can wander freely without checking in.

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.

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.

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.
