Mike on the Vineyard Kiss at Crestwood Tracy on Orient Beach



We have traveled to nude beaches and resorts in Florida, New Jersey, West Virginia, France, St. Martin, and throughout New England.We have had lots of fun meeting new people and exploring new (nude) places.We have even made some nude places on our own. We have a new hobby of taking nude hikes in the woods... We love it when the warm weather to arrives so we can explore other naturist locations in New England. On this page we will include thoughts on areas we have visited. If anyone can suggest great places in New England for us to visit this summer, email us.


Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard
Gayhead*While there was some discussion in 2006 about the town banning nudity at Aquinnah, we have been many times during 2007 and 2008 with no problems. The beach is well attended a a great place to be.
 
Martha's Vineyard is home to the best nude beach in New England. It is serene and refreshing to enjoy absolute peace. The clay cliffs make a breathtaking backdrop to the beautiful ocean. Since the Vineyard is further south than most other nude recreation areas in New England, the water tends to be a bit warmer here.

The trip to Gay Head is an adventurous one that requires a bit of planning. No bridge spans the Atlantic Ocean between mainland Massachusetts and the island, so all travelers must take the ferry. The ride is a quick 40 minutes, just enough time to wake up in the morning and nap in the evening. The beach is accessed by bus from the ferry. Gay Head is a great place for a first nude experience. Everyone is friendly, but at the same time you are given as much privacy as you desire.

Directions: We take the ferry from Woods Hole (see fares and schedules on the Steamship Authority website). If you land at Vineyard Haven, you can take the number 3 bus (Vineyard Haven to West Tisbury) to the number 5 bus (West Tisbury-Chilmark-Aquinnah). There is a map with these routes at the Vineyard Transit Authority website. The bus fares are quite reasonable. The beach can be reached by taking the beach path at the bottom of the road to the boardwalk, then following the beach down until you see other naked people.


Cedar Waters Village, NH

Cedar WatersIf resorts are you style, Cedar Waters is a fun place to go. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the surroundings are incredible. The people here make you feel comfortable and welcome. The property is privately owned, and many naturists lease land to live on (in RVs or cabins) for the season/year. Cabins and tenting sites are available for rental.

The lake is a lot of fun to paddle or swim around and the buildings are well kept. They have social gatherings most weekends (plays and such) that are great fun. This is great family atmosphere and a nice way to meet people! Overall a great place, we hope to return soon.


The Ledges, VT

The Ledges, VermontVermont is truly a haven for nudists. The Ledges, recently sold by NEPCO, is only one of many natural basking spots in this state. The area is open to all, so there is a tendency for textiles to be present as well.

The Ledges are actually rocks that form the shoreline of the Lake, making for limited sunning space on beautiful summer days. No soft sandy beaches at this place. The water is cool, crisp, and clear even on hot summer days. You should get there early if you want a prime spot in the main area!

Go to the Friends of the Ledges website to find out how you can support the Ledges.


Cap D' Agde, France

Cap D'AgdeWe spent three days and three nights in Cap D' Agde, France, a naturist town with 40,000 residents. The town is complete with night clubs, food stores, banks, resturants and everything else a small community needs. We stayed in a charming two story villa near the center of town, and were naked most of the time we stayed in Cap D' Agde. It did get a bit cool at night, so we had to dress after sunset . Tthe town is beautiful and the french wine is inexpensive which were nice bonuses. Plus, it was a luxury to be naked anyplace in the town any time we wanted. We have excellent contacts for apartment/villa rentals in Cap D'Agde. You can email us for more information or visit the Cap D'Agde Rentals website (if you book, please tell them that we referred you!).

We spent several days in Agde in 1999. Click here to read about it.



Berkshire Vista

Berkshire Vista Located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, Berkshire Vista is a beautiful naturist resort where you can forget all of your troubles. The pool is refreshing, and the hot tubs help you melt all your worries away.

The weekend nights are made fun by dances that help keep you in shape after a nice day of sunning. The people at Berkshire Vista are warm and fun, and will help you to feel right at home.



Avalon
AvalonAvalon, located in the mountains of West Virginia, is truly a get-away. The grounds are expansive and offer nice trails for hiking, two pools (one indoor, one outdoor), tennis courts, pentaque, camping, RVing, and more. We stayed in one of their lodge rooms for four days, and found the prices reasonable. The resort offers a restraunt and snack bar -- we tried both out and enjoyed what we got. A word to the wise: If you want to bring your own food and drinks, stock up before coming to Paw Paw. We thought we could just "run to the store," and were surprised to find the nearest supermarket was a 40 minute drive...


Terra Cotta Inn

Terra Cotta Inn This write up is provided by Candy Mejia, the manager of The Terra Cotta Inn. She is only 22 years old -- that is the youngest manger of a naturist resort in the world! The Terra Cotta Inn is a very special and unique clothing optional resort. Our guests range from 21 year old couples to 80 year old couples. No other nudist resort in the U.S. has younger guests than us. We have had guests from over 64 different countries stay with us.
The Terra Cotta Inn is unique in that we understand the needs of couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. Our motto is "Only nice customers are booked here, Grouchy people are never allowed."(smile) Probably the only people that don't fit in at the Terra Cotta Inn are wild, obnoxious, party people and snobs. Nice people have a fantastic time and that is why our repeat guest rate is so high.
Last September, the Chicago Tribune Newspaper selected us as one of the top 10 BEST clothing optional resorts in the world. Then in November, The Vancouver Sun newspaper in Canada reported on our being the BEST clothing optional resort in the States. CBSmarketwatch.com reported on us being the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the U.S. and on May 13, 2002, Newsweek Magazine in an article called "Size Matters: Small is Good," selected us as being one of the BEST small businesses in the U.S. Only in America, do nudists get the opportunity to stay at one of the best resorts in the country.
 
 
  Orient Beach, St. Martin
Orient BeachOrient Beach is one of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean.  The water is warm, the sun is hot, people are friendly, and relaxation is only a beach chair away.  We first went to this paradise in 2000 and have made several returns in the following years.  There are a variety of accommodations, both on the Club Orient property and on the island at large.
 
Please check out our St. Martin page more information.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gunnison Beach, Sandy Hook
Gunnison Beach is located on the northern tip of the Gateway National Recreation Area in New Jersey.  The beach and water are warm long before New England and provide astounding views of the New York City skyline.  Complete with showers, a boardwalk, and concession stand, this nude beach is one of the most similar [in services] to a textile beach.  There is a large group of regular users who often hold events on the weekends.  We have visited this beach many times and it was the location of Tracy's first naturist experience.
 
More information can be found at the Friends of Gunnison website.
 
 
We are always looking for new and exciting places to get naked. If anyone has any suggestions please email us. Stay nude, maybe we will run into you at one of these nude places this summer.
