The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) is proud to announce results of the 2026 AANR Naturist Choice Awards! The categories were developed by the AANR Marketing Committee and carefully designed to capture where Naturists prefer to go nude, favorite resorts, nude beaches and naturist websites. We also asked voters to rank the importance of AANR outreach on behalf of the Naturist Community. “It is important to ensure that AANR is not only listening to what our members want and enjoy in nude recreation, but also to reach out to those who are not members, to give them a voice,” explained Linda Weber, President of AANR. The survey was open to both AANR Members and unaffiliated Nudists alike allowing people outside the organization to participate offering a broader range of insights and perspectives from across the greater naturist community.

Favorite Non-landed or Social/Travel Clubs

Non-Landed Social Clubs do not have facilities, but local nudists who get together for social activities—without owning or operating their own property. Instead of a resort or campground, these clubs meet in members’ homes, rented venues, nudist resorts, beaches, or other appropriate locations. The focus is simple: friendship, comfort with social nudity, and shared experiences close to home. An initiative AANR President Linda Weber brought forth and fostered, commented: “We have seen tremendous growth in non-landed clubs in the last year and a half, which provides the ability to bring nudists together socially for those geographically distant from a brick and mortar resort.” Here are the top five Non-Landed Social Club choices:

#1 – Rocky Mountain Naturist Club – Colorado

#2 – Southern California Naturist Association (SCNA) – California

#3 – Indiana Naturists – Indiana

#4 – First Coast Naturists – Florida

#5 – Tahoe Area Naturists – Nevada
