Spring Break on a Nude Beach or a Nudist Resort 

Many people may consider Spring Break to be a trivial occurrence, just a big party by students who have nothing better to do with their time and money. But this is NOT SO! Spring Break actually is an established cultural tradition among college students, an annual event with its own sets of rituals, a piece of 20th century Americana. Some argue that Spring Break goes back farther and deeper than that--that it is the modern manifestation of an age-old rite in which young people celebrate the return of the Spring. Thus, those who partake in Spring Break are actually adding their touch to the annals of the Spring Break tradition. The following is a brief recap of the history of Spring Break to provide current-day participants with an understanding of the footsteps in which they follow.

Some of the elements of the Spring Break tradition also go way back in the customs of American college students. Traveling to the coast or to the site of a mineral spring as a restorative cure for the rigors of academic life was common among the well-to-do set of American college students since the 19th century (if not earlier).

Nude Beach or Nudist Resort
Which should you choose for your first nude recreation experience, a nude beach, or, a nudist resort? Take some advice from a couple who gave nude recreation a try when they were in their 50's. A first class nudist or clothing optional resort is the only way to see if nude recreation is for you. Why is that? Nudist resorts are safe, clean, managed places. The guests are on their best behavior. You'll also find them to be friendly and not putting on airs. No one is going to pester you. There will be planned activities for those who want to socialize, but don't feel compelled to participate. Many nudist resorts compare with any 4 resort, while others offer a nude recreation experience in rural natural settings.

Many resorts are clothing optional and are perfect for people who just aren't sure about being nude in front of other people. You can stay clothed at these resorts and no one will make you feel uncomfortable for doing so. Over the years, many people have written to tell us that going to a clothing optional resort was what allowed them to finally find the freedom they had dreamed about but were afraid to try.

Now, let's look at nude beaches. First of all there are only a few that are truly legal in the United States. Legal means the beach is designated as a nude beach. That means no threat of arrest or harassment by the authorities. Lifeguards may be on duty during the busy season and there may be enforcement patrols to insure that there is no unruly or offensive behavior. Another group of nude beaches are the ones where nude use is accepted but not protected by the law. Then there is the last group of beaches where people will sometimes go nude but always run the risk of the authorities deciding to sweep the area and arrest or cite any people who are nude. Please don't get me wrong. We love going to a nude beach. You just have to do some research before you go.
