For more than sixty years, San Gregorio stood as a rare survivor of California's early nude beach movement, protected less by statute than by a longstanding understanding between public shoreline and private stewardship. Its transition into the state park system secures the land's future, but also ends one of the most important continuous traditions in American naturist history.

A Washington judge has rejected efforts to close Seattle's historic clothing-optional beach or prohibit nudity there, instead ordering the city to better manage unlawful conduct while preserving lawful nude recreation.

Skinny Dip Day participants at Bates Beach were asked to dress after sheriff’s deputies responded to a complaint about nudity.

Hanlan's Point has survived more than a century of shifting attitudes toward public nudity, but its future may now depend on decisions far beyond the beach itself.

Arizona's governor has vetoed the Protect Act, ending a legislative fight that drew unusual attention from the naturist community. The measure sought to address revenge porn and AI-generated sexual imagery, but critics warned its recordkeeping requirements and broad language could create new burdens for lawful, nonsexual nude publishing.

For years, Club Orient existed mostly in memory and in the stories told by the people who loved it. The beach remained, but the resort itself stayed frozen in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

The debate over Mākena State Park isn't really about toilets or parking spaces. It is about who gets to reach the shoreline, how public land is managed, and what happens when an informal culture depends on access that was never formally guaranteed.

After two years of uncertainty, Serendipity Park has new owners. The sale preserves one of the South's best-known family nudist resorts, keeps existing staff involved, and ensures the property remains devoted to naturist recreation rather than redevelopment. For a movement that has lost more than a few clubs in recent years, that's welcome news.
