not required. A place where families can come

kind of living. A life free of crippling social
inhibitions with no need for repressive clothing.

Nude Resort Beaches
A nude beach is a beach where the users
generally wear no clothing for numerous reasons: that doing so feels and looks
good, that it is practical, for philosophical or religious reasons, or simply
because there is no reason for clothing. Nude sunbathing allows an even sun tan.
Nude beaches are also variously known as "FKK" (from the German "Freik�rperkultur"),
"clothing optional" (C.O.) or "free" beaches they are also described as being "au
naturale", French for "of nature".
Most existing nude beaches have been used as such
for many years and thus have become "traditionally nude". Many are "unmanaged"
beach areas that have been adopted by the local users in the effort to maintain
the beach's quality. Others' right to existence has been recognized as such by
one or another legislative body - municipal, regional or national, and are
termed "official". One can distinguish between different types of nude beaches:
official nude beaches
nudity is compulsory unless the
weather is bad, etc.
clothing is optional (e.g. nudity is
permitted but not required)
those that are tolerated by the
authorities
those where nudity is illegal, and users
risk a fine or worse
In each case the nude
areas tend to be isolated from the non-nude areas so encounters with clothed
people are less likely to occur.
The users of nude beaches
are sometimes the target of legislation to ban public nudity, often because of
broad language included in bills intended to target sexually oriented
businesses. Nudist organizations such as the Naturist Action Committee have
worked to prompt rewriting or rejection of such bills.
