Florida Nudist Resorts Determined to Attract More Young Naked People

Have you ever been to a nudist resort? Those hoping to be amongst unclothed young things might be a little overwhelmed by the sight of wrinkled flesh. Apparently, America’s nudist community is alarmed that its membership is graying and is now desperately trying to attract younger participants into its clothes-free lifestyle.

The Wall Street Journal takes a hard hitting look at the state of nude camping unions, and finds that younger people favor making a trip or two to a nude beach once in a while rather than embracing the full nude lifestyle. Miami’s Haulover Beach is specifically name checked, though, honestly, we visited once to tick it off our “Things We Should Do To Have a Good Story to Tell” list, and were surprised that even there the age skewed older. Apparently the resorts skew even older.

“The whole lifestyle will just disappear unless we attract a younger crowd,” Nicky Hoffman, head of a large American nudist group, told the paper. “The problem is, most of these resorts aren’t geared to young people. They’ve become like retirement homes; they’ve sort of calcified.”

Even naked, old people get cranky and say they don’t care for young nudes’ crazy body piercings and late-night habits.

Though, one new nudist group right here in Florida hopes to attract younger visits.

Though things aren’t off to a great start. That Spring Break Bash, held at a resort on the edge of the Everglades, only attracted 55 people, and the group’s Facebook page keeps getting shut down because it’s tricky to run a group with both “young” and “nude” in the title.

Nude Cruising The Next Big Thing For Florida

“Mom, the people on that ship have no clothes on!” Could this be something you could hear from your four-year old on your next cruise as you dock next to another ship in port?

According to Wesh 2 News, nude cruising in Florida may be launching in the near future. Some may argue that any future would be too soon. The economy is said to have something to do with it. One would think that an all-inclusive cruise would be considered before a literal rendition of the famous Kenny Chesney song, “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem,” became a reality.

Nudists can appear at many beaches, including Haulover Beach in Miami, and campsites in the U.S. Although many cruise lines offer “top-optional” sun decks, no cruise line has gone threadbare.

Although no set plans to launch a nude cruise line exist as of today, it may be in the near future.
