A Guide to Nudist & Clothing-Optional Hotels and Resorts in Florida

Apr 12, 2007

Florida is one of the best places in the USA to get naked on vacation, and there is plenty of naturist or clothing-optional holiday accommodation available

Getting naked on vacation in the sunshine state of Florida is probably easier than anywhere else in the USA, with the possible exception of California. There are plenty of clothing-optional and nude beaches, naturist clubs and nude resorts to choose from. Many have year-round residents, and all of the suggestions listed here welcome day visitors and have accommodation options for longer stays.

This combination of club and resort has over 100 acres of land north of Tampa. There are condos, villas, casitas and family homes to choose from, a sandy beach, pools, hot tub, lakes and plenty of sporting facilities.

Club Paradise, north of Tampa, is the largest clothing-optional resort in the USA. Some people live there all year round, and for visitors there are hotel rooms, condos, studios, camping and its own RV park. There are three pools, two hot-tubs and every other facility you can imagine, spread around over 70 acres of lush landscape.

If you want to visit Disneyworld (where it is a good idea to keep your clothes on), Cypress Cove has hotel rooms, apartments, camping and RV parks. It has a pool, fishing, tennis, a whirlpool bath, boating and any number of indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

North of Tampa in a 40-acre park is the Gulf Coast Resort with pool, whirlpool, volleyball, tennis and a children's playground. There are rooms and trailers to rent, camping and an RV park.

North of Tampa on the west coast is Florida's oldest nudist resort, Lake Como. As well as lake and huge heated pool, it's also close to the coast and Busch Gardens. There are resident members but also 20,000 visitors each year, either for the day or staying at one of the motel units, the campsite or one of the RV spaces.

The Riverboat Club is a nudist resort with a difference, as it has artists' studios and welcomes special events like live concerts, the Nude Olympics and the Butt Naked Biker Bash. Based round a small lake, there are RV and camping facilities.

One of the smaller clubs and out on the Florida Panhandle, the Riviera Naturist Resort is aimed at families and has sports, a pool, hot tub, camping and RV spaces spread around its 16 acres.

Close to Pensacola, the Sunburst Resort offers two swimming pools, family-size rental accommodation, camping and RV pitches, a good range of sports including tennis, volleyball, shuffleboard and indoor games.
