**Why Britons still aren’t ready for ‘social nudity’**
Scandi-style saunas and wild swims have normalised being nude in public spaces, but it’s not all positive news – I experienced the dark side
By Emma O'Kelly, 19 July 2025
As a Briton, I feel I have much in common with my Scandinavian cousins: an endurance of long, cold, grey winters; a love of thrillers; a passion for wild swimming and saunas. In the course of researching two books on sauna culture, I’ve spent years sweating it out around Estonian lakes, and in hotboxes on windswept Norwegian archipelagos. Generally, when enjoying these activities I’ve been wearing a swimsuit – and this is where any similarities to our Nordic neighbours end.
For in these bathing nations, nudity is a given, and it has been for generations; a deep, clean sweat is a naked one. Why wear an unhygienic swimsuit which prevents your skin from breathing and lessens the sensory experience, when you can go without? Why indeed.
I can think of many reasons. Shame, embarrassment, legacy of a Catholic schooling, scar tissue from unwanted sexual advances, the male gaze, unachievable images of female perfection.
Through my work, on research trips around Northern European cultures where nude bathing is the norm, I have had to confront my body issues; I have been in situations where being the only swim-suited one feels out of place. I have had to dig deep not to be the stereotypical British prude...

If you believe naturism is odd, reconsider. Social nudity has helped many overcome poor body image and self-esteem issues, boosting confidence. Additionally, it's more comfortable to do things naked and just plain fun.
So take off your clothes!
You don't need them here.

**Zoro Gardens: San Diego’s forgotten nudist colony now attracts butterflies**
By Debbie L. Sklar, May 2, 2025
What do butterflies and a nudist colony have in common? More than you’d expect.
Tucked inside Balboa Park, Zoro Gardens looks like just another quiet spot — but during the California Pacific International Exposition, it was San Diego’s strangest attraction: a public nudist colony. Today, it’s home to butterflies and a few lingering traces of its wild past.
Yes, you read right: A nudist colony in the middle of the park with tickets available to purchase for anyone curious enough to watch.
The Risqué Heart of the Expo
It started when the Exposition needed a hook—something splashier than flower displays or fountain shows. So, organizers staged a “nudist colony” right in the middle of Balboa Park. It was pitched as educational—a wholesome look at naturist living. But let’s be honest: it was a Depression-era publicity stunt with just enough skin to sell tickets, right?
Various history reports and articles say that a group of hired performers (none of them actual naturists) posed, stretched, and lounged in flesh-colored outfits that looked convincingly bare from a distance. The gardens’ sunken layout let visitors look down into the scene like spectators at a very strange theater.​..

**Visiting Haulover Beach: Tips for First-Time Guests**
By Nathalie Eder, Apr 21, 2025
The first time I heard about Haulover Beach, I was swapping travel stories with a fellow writer over coffee in Coconut Grove.
He leaned in conspiratorially, saying, “If you’re ever in Miami, you have to check out the naked beach.” I laughed it off at the moment, but later that night, I Googled it. Playa Haulover, officially known as Haulover Beach Park, Florida, kept popping up in forums, guidebooks, and travel groups I trust.
The more I read, the more intrigued I became; I am always up for a new experience when traveling. Thus, when I booked a spring escape to South Florida, I decided it was finally time to see what all the fuss was about.
This wasn’t just a day at the beach; it was a whole adventure with unexpected charm, a gorgeous coastline, and, yes, a designated stretch where swimsuits are optional.
Curious about checking it out for yourself? Here’s what I learned from my trip to Haulover Beach and everything I wish I’d known beforehand.
What to Know Before You Go to Haulover Beach
If you’ve ever Googled “Where is Haulover Beach?” in an attempt to learn more about the area, here’s the lowdown.
Haulover Beach is part of Haulover Park, nestled between Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach on a barrier island northeast of Miami.
It’s not just any beach; Haulover Beach is one of the few officially sanctioned clothing-optional beaches in the United States. In fact, it proudly holds its spot as a top destination for naturists worldwide!...
