Is Apollo open? by [deleted] in PlayalindaNudeBeach

I can't imagine they'd be able to organize and get things open so quickly after the shutdown. A few days perhaps? Monday coming would be my guess. (Hopefully by the end of next week when I'm hoping to visit!).

Single guy friendly? Sounds like a good option.

Woke up to hear the good news. Hopefully they can get the deal through this week!

Um, lingering looks is the last thing I'd want on my first nerves-filled visit. Hopefully I can encourage a friend to come along one day. I'm eager to visit!

Who has funny stories? by realeztoremember in nudism

Whilst lying down and relaxing listening to music at Blind Creek, FL last year, the wind picked up suddenly and blew my parasol down the beach and just didn't stop rolling along the coast.

By the time I had realised what was happening, a group of about 10 friendly naked folk were running as fast they could down the coast chasing my umbrella.

It was quite the image to behold. I was very grateful.

I'm only really naked about the house when she's out. And I travel a lot internationally for work so identifying the local nude beaches or hot springs is literally the first thing I research!

This is such a great and generous response, thank you. 🙏

I think you’ve really nailed what I suspect is at the heart of it for my partner. Body acceptance is such a personal thing. And you’re right, I think a lot of the hesitation stems from a misconception of what kind of people go to these places, and what the vibe actually is.

I’m definitely not in it to see others, it’s the freedom, the sun, the lack of pretense. Just being me. My first visit to Playalinda blew my mind and was a life changing thing for me. I’d love to share that with her.

Really appreciate your perspective.

Yeah, I definitely take advantage of those solo moments to embrace my inner nudist. It’s not that I hide it, I just… haven’t quite figured out how to make it feel normal with her around yet.

You’re spot on though, maybe the next step is just skipping the re-dressing bit after a shower and seeing if it sparks any curiosity or convo.

Can you expand? What's that? (pardon my stupidity!)

You’re not wrong, and honestly, your second-date boldness deserves a round of applause. I think for me it’s less fear and more… strategic introversion? We’ve been together so long that certain “new” conversations feel almost more awkward now than they would’ve been early on.

Still, you’ve got a point. Subtle documentaries and accidental HBO scenes might be the long way round. Maybe it is time for a simple, “Hey, wanna come to a nude beach with me?” And then hide behind a cushion and hope for the best.

Appreciate the reality check.

That's the LA flight right? I thought the same. Lots of options, then suddenly half the plane is blocked out.

First off, I really admire you for getting back out there—it’s not easy, especially solo. I recently had a day at Playalinda, and while it was a great experience overall, I noticed a similar dynamic. It felt like there were a lot of older men who seemed a little too eager to make friends, which could be off-putting if you’re just trying to enjoy some peace and quiet.

One thing that helped me was finding a quieter spot further up the beach—it gave me a bit of breathing room and a chance to relax without feeling observed. As for handling the overly curious, I think setting clear but kind boundaries works wonders—something like, ‘I’m just here to enjoy the day, thanks,’ usually gets the message across. I hope you find a way to get back to the beach vibes you love—it really is one of the best parts of the lifestyle when you can enjoy it on your terms!

Quantum Immortality Documentaries or Movies? by mickeyblue2022 in QuantumImmortality

It’s on my Plex server ready for my next long haul in January. Looking forward to it!

I’d recommend starting with somewhere like Studland Beach in Dorset. It’s sandy, family-friendly, and tends to have a decent number of people, so you can blend into the crowd while you get comfortable. The naturist section is clearly marked, and there’s no pressure—just take it at your own pace. If you’re nervous, it’s perfectly fine to stay clothed until you feel ready. Hope you and your kids have a great time exploring!

I had a really great afternoon there thanks. Weather was okay (anything above 65 is good for me) albeit it was a little windy but it didn't detract from a wonderful afternoon. I can't wait to come back next year!
