Paradise Lakes, Pasco County’s original superclub for nudists has always been known for pushing the limits of accepted nudist proctices.  Paradise Lakes has been through several changes in ownership and it seems that with each change, the separation from  real nudism has widened.

While the term “Family-friendly” has been a buzzword recently for traditional nudism, families don’t really have anything to do with acceptable behavior.  Adults have a responsibility to other adults as well as to children.  If a club advocates or even tolerates behavior that is not in line with traditional nudist principles, then it shoul;d no longer represent itself as a nudist endeavor and advertise iself appropriately.

If you want to watch people having sex, then there should be a place for such activity, but don’t sully the reputations of real nudist clubs by claiming these locations are nudist clubs also.

Over the Independence Day weekend, I was priviledged to spend a couple of days at Rock Haven Lodge in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  I had last visited Rock Haven in 1994, and the facilities are even nicer now than on my previous visit.

One word of warning, if you are planning on sleeping in a tent, you will need a free-standing tent and something padded to sleep on.  The topsoil at Rock Haven is only a couple of inches thick over a bed of flat rock.

Members of the Nude Beach Alliance met this past weekend at Bates Beach near Carpenteria, CA to promote the idea of returning Bates Beach to clothing optional status.  Their proposal is that nudists would provide ambassadors similar to the policy in effect at Haulover Beach in Miami, lowering crime rates and making the beach safe for all users.  Here’s the siory as it appeared in the Santa Barbara Independent.
