When Helga Crane, the main character in Nella Larsen’s novel “Quicksand,” walked through the streets of Copenhagen, people were amazed. “Her dark, alien appearance was to most people an astonishment,” wrote Larsen, an acclaimed Harlem Renaissance author. “Some stared surreptitiously, some openly, and some stopped dead in front of her in order more fully to profit by their stares.”
A Starter Pack of Nude Beaches for the Clothing-Optional Crowd
06.12.2024 - 22:03 / cntraveler.com
Nude beaches, or “clothing-optional beaches” as they are fondly called, are shores where the choice to bare it all lies entirely with you—nudity is welcome but never a requirement. Naturist beaches aren’t just about getting rid of tan lines, they are about liberation. Not every sandy shore that invites naturists is “officially” designated as such. In most cases, an official nude beach is one where local governments have legalized public nudity within a specific zone such as in Spain with nudist friendly beaches on the island of Formentera, and in Germany with naturist spots like the English Garden in Munich. Unofficial nude beaches, on the other hand, are typically known through word of mouth or naturist forums. The stories of these beaches trace back to the naturist movements in the early 20th-century. A movement about health, physical fitness, and social equality. The first nudist club in the United States was established in New York City in 1929, and the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) was established in 1931. The naturist movement quickly spread to other parts of Europe, with the establishment of nudist clubs and resorts throughout the continent. Campsite Koversada, Europe’s first naturist campsite, opened in 1961. Nearly four decades earlier, Britain’s first nudist colony, Sunbeam—fondly called “The Camp”—was established in 1924 by the Moonella Group. In France, the Fédération Française de Naturisme (FFN) was established in 1950, which promoted naturism as a legitimate lifestyle choice. Today, these sand stretches tell tales as diverse as the landscapes they occupy
Travelers tend to forget that even the all-baring beaches have rules. They often come with signage indicating their status and are subject to guidelines that vary by country—some focus on respect and privacy, while others emphasize preserving a sense of community.
Located on the French side of the Caribbean island, the Orient Beach is known for being naturist-friendly, it is an officially sanctioned clothing optional space. This means visitors can enjoy the beach with or without clothing—practicing naturism is entirely optional.The beach is divided into two sections: the northern part is clothing-optional, while the southern part, sometimes known as “Club Orient,” is a designated naturist area.
Club Orient, part of the larger Orient Beach, is a full-service naturist resort offering a range of facilities such as beach bars, restaurants and water sports. Visitors can enjoy the sun and sea in their natural state, with the convenience of comfortable facilities close by. The beach’s clear waters and soft sand provide the perfect backdrop for a day of relaxation and enjoyment.
