Additionally, two nude beaches in the AANR Western Region made CNN’s 20 best nude beaches worldwide last year.  One of which includes:

“Black’s Beach, La Jolla, California

Set beneath the 100-meter-high cliffs of Torrey Pines, Blacks has been the Golden State’s favorite place for all-over tans for more than 50 years and was once the only legal nude beach in the entire United States.

Long, wide and blessed with great surf, the beach is reached via the zig-zag Ho Chi Minh Trail from the cliff-top Torrey Pines Gliderport near the University of California, San Diego.

Black’s Beach, Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, San Diego, CA 92037

Nakation vacations are healthy, eco-friendly travel experiences where one takes a journey to see oneself (and others) in a new light and enact a personal transformation. Besides body acceptance and personal freedom, non-sexualized nude recreation and Nakationing achieves added relaxation, self-respect, stress reduction and acceptance of others for who they are.  When the clothes are shed, so too are the stresses of everyday life.  No one at a nudist resort judges others based on their exterior, not whether they are blue-collar or white-collar, for there’s no collar shown.  It’s what’s inside that counts. One of the most powerful aspects of naturism is its influence on self-image.  By being part of communities that celebrate diverse body shapes, sizes and ages, both men and women experience a paradigm shift in their perception of beauty.  They learn to appreciate and love their bodies (scars, amputations, and all) in ways that transcend societal ideals.

If you would like to learn more about nude recreation or visit a member resort this winter/spring for editorial coverage, please contact AANR as noted below. There are also numerous resorts in Florida that are open year-round and which also welcome journalists on assignment.

For over 90 years AANR has been the preeminent authority and voice in North America, staunchly protecting the freedoms and rights of those who participate in wholesome, family-style nude recreation. Socially, AANR encourages Nakation vacations as healthy, eco-friendly, transformational travel experiences; while AANR’s membership demonstrates conclusively that life is enhanced by the naturalness of social nudity. From exercise to relaxation, a person’s physical, spiritual, and mental well-being is enriched through nude recreation and slumber. AANR supports over 180 chartered clubs, resorts, and campgrounds (and is growing), and serves more than 30,000 members and 52 million skinny dipping enthusiasts throughout the U.S., Canada, and internationally.
