Retirement affords us the time to try new things, take on new adventures, and check off bucket list items. Yet one of the biggest challenges of retirement can be how to spend quality time, be “one with nature,” and among like-minded friends and neighbors, without spending a lot of money.
This is where the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), an organization 90 years young, comes into play. They recommend you don’t retire from life just because you’ve retired from work. Rather, reconnect with that free spirit you embodied back in the day.
It's a common misconception that everyone who retires to a clothing-optional resort community is a long-time nudist. Not so. For instance, Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, often sees retirees who are fairly new try out the nudist way of life by taking a “nakation vacation” on property. (Cypress Cove, as with many other nudist communities, require prior visitation before becoming a homeowner.) if you’re new to nudism, don’t let that prevent you from considering this kind of fun-in-the-sun retirement, living life au natural.
After sampling the camaraderie fostered at clothes-free and clothing-optional resort and campground communities, you may just consider retiring to a budget-friendly nudist environment, either seasonally or full time. Most such communities are tied to nudist resorts, which offer residents access to the resort’s recreational amenities such as pools, lakes, watercraft, gyms/fitness classes and more, resulting in savings that help keep your out-of-pocket entertainment costs down.
Another cost-saving pro is a large percentage of nudist community residences feature modular or manufactured homes, which may be less expensive than traditional construction. They also tend to be located in warmer climate zones resulting in lower home heating costs, as well as low electricity bills for laundry, because living as a nudist drastically cuts wardrobe expenses and clothes hamper fill ups.
Other ways to enjoy living au natural include housekeeping, gardening, or exercising in the nude. By doing so you sweat less, don’t dirty clothes, and shrink your clothes washing loads too. Did you know that in the Sunbelt (or elsewhere in the summer), by turning up your central air conditioning thermostat one degree, fuel consumption can be cut by as much as 10%. For the eco-conscious, all these clothes-free activities help in lowering one’s carbon footprint.
When moving someplace new, retirees often seek areas known for fostering a strong sense of community, which aids in preventing isolation loneliness in the golden years and promotes emotional well-being. In nudist communities being neighborly is the norm. Before retirement one was white collar or blue collar. Now, wearing no collar, class distinctions evaporate. And, if neighbors have a skill, they’ll pitch in with handyman and other help, saving you on expenses charged by tradesmen.
There are also definite health benefits to nude recreation and clothes-free living. As cited in Health Digest, “Skinny dipping allows the sun's rays to hit every part of our body. As a result, our skin is soaking in a hefty helping of vitamin D. Even just a quick 15-minute dip can boost immunity far more than any supplement can (via Volonte Science and Medical Advisory Board). Not to mention, vitamin D also does wonders for brain and bone function while enhancing quality of sleep (via Brooklinen). Additionally, sweat is completely released without the hindrance of tight clothing, allowing toxins to be fully flushed from the body. In addition to physical benefits, the wellness benefits of skinny dipping also extend into one's mental and emotional health. A 2017 review published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that engaging in nude recreational activities had a positive impact on self-confidence, body image, and quality of life.”
With all these “pros” the only significant emotional or financial “con” is that some friends and family may not visit you in your nudist community, which means you will have to incur travel expenses to go visit them in their comfort zone. Or, you may need to leave your nudist environment if you require assisted living or nursing home care down the road.

When you’re ready to investigate retiring in a nudist community, it’s important, as with any real estate purchase, to do your homework. There are wholesome family-friendly, nurturing nudist communities, such as those affiliated with AANR. There are also other types. So, scrutinize your options to avoid venues that may not be the right fit for you.
When it comes down to purchasing a home in a nudist community you should know that, as with many subdivisions, there may be a homeowner’s association with fees, monthly lot lease assessments, and rules and regulations that apply. You’ll want to be mindful of those restrictions and covenants to determine if a particular neighborhood is right for you.
Also, if you need to finance, be sure to build additional time into your mortgage acquisition process. Your first lender may be unable to accommodate a loan on the type of housing available or has additional questions prior to your securing the loan. The difference in this time lag typically averages between 35 and 45 days. But don’t be surprised if there’s no delay, either!
A good source for information about a prospective community is, of course, their website, which should provide information on property listings, general amenities, regulations governing demeanor, and more. Property listings found on the website are usually provided by the homeowner or their real estate agent, and negotiations would be between the interested party and the individual homeowner, not the resort community management. That said, a residential manager at the resort/community may be a resource for answering general questions and providing insights.
As we are currently in a hot real estate market, with mortgage rates at record lows and a lack of available inventory fueled by a rise in housing demand, properties are selling quickly. Especially in those Sunbelt regions so popular with retirees.
Cypress Cove resident manager Armando Colon notes, “As a potential homebuyer make sure you’re ahead of the game. If serious about retiring in a nudist community, you will need to get pre-approved for residency. Your first step would be to establish history with that particular club by nakationing there over multiple times to interact and foster relationships with other guests, residents, and staff. There will definitely be a vetting process so the interested buyer can determine if the community is a good fit for them and the community finds them a good fit as well. This includes a full criminal background check being taken, and then a credit check. Even if the buyer does not require a home loan, the community owns the lot on which it sits and which is leased monthly, ergo the rationale for the credit check. Once completed, an orientation then takes place on the community’s “dos and don’ts.” After these steps have been accomplished, a prospective buyer can then reach out to a seller. All in all, the entire application process typically occurs in about a two-week timeframe.”
It’s recommended that you complete the application process well in advance so when a property does come on the market, you’re poised to act. Oh, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself in a bit of a bidding war. The freedom the nudist homeowner enjoys has lasting appeal for a broad spectrum of the retiring population seeking homes in communities with like-minded people, and neighbors who share the same values and interests.

I grew up in Brevard County, Florida, back when there were plenty of deserted beaches to go skinny-dipping and I made regular use of them. But I had never been to a nudist resort. The first time I visited one was seven years ago when my then-husband and I went to an AANR affiliated nudist club, Glen Eden Sun Club in California, after deciding to try nude recreation.
Like most women, I was concerned I didn’t look good enough to take my clothes off, especially in front of strangers. I thought my thighs were too big, my stomach pooched a little and I was no longer the 20-year-old who used to rock a string bikini at the public beach.
My husband took his clothes off right away with no problem. His body was not perfect either (whose is unless you’re Gisele Bundchen or David Beckham?) but that didn’t seem to bother him. He got right into the spirit of things. I walked beside him in my t-shirt and shorts.
Then I started to notice that people were being very friendly to him but acted a little more reserved toward me. So I decided to just go for it. Pretty soon I was talking to everyone, and I met some of the nicest people I’ve ever met that weekend. And I had a great time! I haven’t looked back since.
Read more stories about first-time experiences and more written by nudists just like you on the World of Nude Recreation page.
My first experience was similar..with all the misgivings, but I’m the guy. My wife was expressing the same misgivings, but we forged ahead. It was soooo easy to make friends that before the end of our first visit to White Tail Park in Ivor, VA she was making reservations for the next weekend.

A naked bungy jump looks like a good opportunity for nudists. This is the 5th year they are doing it.
I only got into nudism full-time this last summer while working in my backyard, though I’d sunbathed nude in the past, until my wife broke down over concerns the neighbors might call the police (we have a walled-in backyard her Las Vegas). But, since I made the plunge last summer I’ve decided to never go back. Unfortunately, so far at least, my wife has not decided to join me in this great lifestyle.
I did succeed in getting our 36-year old daughter to get naked with me twice while her mom was not present and she’s been semi-nude and fully nude coming out of the shower and getting ready for work since, all while her mom’s at work. However, she’s not committed to going nude at home (she doesn’t live with us) nor nude outside yet. I pan to continue going nude in her presence every opportunity I get, since she says she’s okay with it. (Again, her mom doesn’t know, which I hate. However, I tried once walking in front of both once with my robe open. According to my daughter, her mom said if I ever did it again, she’d “kill” me.
With what I’ve read here and elsewhere about ladies quickly finding comfort with their own bodies in the presence of others at resorts and beaches, I think it’s really time to try to get my wife to join me in checking out either/or at the first opportunity.
I look forward to reading more both from you, Randall, and the lady who posted this first post here.
I hope more will join in the discussions. You can read more about my experience, if you wish, elsewhere on this site (sorry, I can’t recall the section except to say it’s a place for people to tell about their naudist/naturist experiences) under “Hi, I’m Jim of Las Vegas.
EDitor, I’d appreciate your help in identifying the site. My log in name is {removed by author request}.
For several years I have been working with the NUDE life style at home. Recently I discovered outdoor nudity. I only do it at night, as in my neighborhood (a mobile
home park) it could bring me much grief. But that doesn’t stop me from the joy of
walking outdoors nude while using extreem caution. I find that the need to feel
the cool night air on my entire body, is so strong that I have a hard time with the
slow clock. Waiting for a time when I can get that feeling. Fortunatly my girlfriend
doesn’t mind it when after the 10:00pm news I strip off and spend the rest of the evening
nude. She enjoys the view. I am working on her to get her to do the same but so far no
luck. I will not give up until I get her to try it more then once so that she gets the
fantastic feeling and relaxed feeling being nude brings out in a person. Being nude rocks.

Yes, I know that every kid is a nudist. But I really was one. Like, officially. As in, card carrying member of the ASA (American Sunbathing Association.) As in going to special places — nudist camps, or if would want to make them sound really creepy and culty, nudist colonies — which were created for no other reason than so people could walk around naked.
This was the Shameful Secret of my childhood, like having an alcoholic mother who hit or an uncle who touched you in the areas where the bathing suit covers. No one was to know. As you may recall, I grew up in the 1970s, the time of hippies, macrame owls and mushroom decor, but I grew up in 1970s Georgia , a place of macrame owls, etc..., but also a very conservative, uptight place. It was a place where every white family had a black maid named something like Mavis, vegetarians were suspect and you sure as fuck weren't supposed to be something as whack as a nudist.
Nudism, then as probably now, was considered to be something weird, at the very least, and at the worse, probably sexual. Not sexual in a particularly nameable way but just...wrong. Naked = sex, end of story.
The reality, which would become apparent to anyone who spent 2 minutes at a nudist camp, is that they are about a sexual as any average RV park. Picture the folks in line at your Target store. Now picture them naked. Now picture them naked and running for a tennis ball, their own balls flopping in the wind. Feeling sexy? Exactly.
Every nice weekend in the summer, my dad would load up the car with camping equipment and we'd be off to a campground in nearby Florida. It was run by a sweet old man named Uncle Davey who was also, incongruently, incredibly racist. And, if you must know, he had rather large testicles that were kind of a blueish hue.
Invisible liners that make you feel great. This doctor-directed treatment costs thousands less than braces, and is done entirely from the comfort of your own home. The process starts with teeth impressions, and after that, doctors formulate the best plan of action for your smile.
My two sisters and I hated going. HATED it. And it wasn't because of our unfortunate kid's eye view of Uncle Davey's literally blue balls. Being nudists was the thing that made us different. Made us weird. Made us wrong. "How was your weekend?" our neighbor Mrs. P would leeringly ask me when we got back. "Did y'all go camping ?" She knew what she meant and I knew what she meant, but both of us were loathe to acknowledge it. "Yes," I would admit, mumbling. "Oh, reeeeeeally?" she would smirk triumphantly.
It was this sort of insinuating attitude about nudism that was what was so shameful about it to us. The actual nudism was no big deal. Really.
People find this really hard to believe. Even today, if I mention it to someone — I mean, people who know I write this blog, friends who know me well — they get that Mrs. P look on their faces. It's a mixture of judgey, sort of aroused, completely intrigued, yet put off at the same time.
"It's like a KOA, but everyone's naked," I say, lamely. They never believe me and press for more details. Because surely—surely!—there's more to it th
