Abrico Beach
Rio de Janeiro's nudist beach

Posted by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong

Abrico Beach just outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a legal nude beach.

The Abrico Naturista Association (ANA)  is present on Abrico Beach "on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays when weather and ocean conditions are favorable."

According to ANA, Abriso Beach can be reached:

By bus:  The cheapest way to go to Abrico Beach from Copacabana (or in any location near the sea in the South Zone) is take bus 360 (Recreio) or 382 (Piabas) on Atlantica Avenue (except Sundays), in Copacabana, (on Sundays you can catch the buses on Barata Ribeiro street) (from Ipanema you must take the bus on Vieira Souto Avenue or in Leblon, on Delfim Moreira Avenue).  Get off in any bus stop on Americas Avenue (Avenida das Américas) AFTER Terminal Alvorada, and then take bus 818 (Recreio) or 880 (Recreio)and get off in front of Condomínio MARAMAR, on Macumba Beach. From there you have to go three kilometers (2 miles) on foot, along Avenida Estado de Guanabara, the road that goes around the hills, at the edge of the sea. Go through Prainha, stay on the road. It will go up, but when it goes down again to Grumari beach, as you look seaward, go to your left. Abricó beach is behind the boulders. 

By car: To go to Abrico beach by car, you must go to Barra da Tijuca, taking Avenue of the Americas (Avenida das Américas). When you reach the RECREIO SHOPPING mall on your left, don't go up the bridge but take the smaller road to the right. (The road seems the same Avenue of the Americas, but that continues over the bridge. The road is called Vereador Alceu de Carvalho on the map, but no one knows the name.) Take this road until it reaches the canal. Turn left. At the end of the canal, turn right on the first intersection (Praia da Macumba, next to the MARAMAR residential condominium on the right), and continue following the road by the sea, Avenida Estado da Guanabara, which will climb the mountains. The first beach you will see is PRAINHA, but go on. After the second mountain, the asphalt becoming cobblestones, you go down to Grumari. Park the car, look to the sea and go left. Abrico beach is behind the boulders. 

When choosing a nude cruise, resort or vacation, remember that there are three types of nude experiences - nudism, naturism and hedonism. 

*Nudism is simply the enjoyment of the freedom of being nude. 
*Naturism is an embracing of a holistic/natural (and naturally nude) life. 
*Hedonism (also called Lifestyle) is a search for multiple sexual experiences in a nude environment.

Smith Point County Park - the lost nude beach on Fire Island, New York

Post by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong

For decades, nude beachgoers enjoyed Smith Point County Park on Fire Island in New York. 

Unfortunately, the state passed a puritanical anti-nudity law. At first the park's supervisor refused to enforce the law on Federal land within the Federal park. When a new supervisor took over the park, a statement was issued, “Effective immediately, state nudity laws will be enforced at Fire Island National Seashore.”

This is a good lesson for nudists and naturists everywhere. Be on guard for those who seek to take away our freedoms and fight their efforts while there is still time.

The National Park Service website says, "Smith Point County Park is located at the eastern end of Fire Island. While it lies within the boundaries of Fire Island National Seashore, this area is not managed by the National Park Service. The park is accessible by car via the William Floyd Parkway. Parking is available in the Smith Point County Park lot (fee charged) for access to the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness and Wilderness Visitor Center."

The northernmost end of Baker Beach is frequented by clothing-optional sunbathers."

Cougar Hot Springs 
Eugene, Oregon's nude hot springs

by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong

Located in the Willamette National Forest near Eugene, Oregon, these hot springs flow down a tiered grade, with pools below cooling as they become further and further from the source above.

Nudity can be expected at both the springs and the swimming hole. The hot springs are constructed, but very rustic, pools set into the hillside. The source and top pool is the hottest, with the temperature cooling as it travels from pool to pool down the hill. There are eight pools ranging from 3-12 feet across and about 2-3 feet deep. The source is 112 degrees F and cools accordingly. Mostly on bedrock, the floor does have some gravel, sand and debris at the bottom. The area is day-use only and sees an abundance of use. Please do your part to keep the site pristine.

Dragonfly Beach 
A private nude beach in Northeast Wisconsin

by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong

Dragonfly Beach is a nude beach in Northeast Wisconsin located on private property.

According to their website, "Welcome to Dragonfly Beach! A Clothes Optional (Skinny Dipping) Family-Friendly Swimming area located near Brillion in northeast Wisconsin. The pond was built in 1987 on the highest part of our small 17 acre farm. This was to prevent any field runoff or contamination from neighboring farms. I was fortunate that this location was solid clay versus the sand or gravel found in other locations on my farm. 2000 cubic yards of clay were removed and banked on the south and east sides to create a pond with approximately 750,000 gallons of water. I had many loads of sand trucked in to create a sandy beach and pond bottom except for the 10 ft deep end. The pond is filled from rain, snowmelt and water pumped from a deep well that can supply 25 gallons a minute when needed. "
