Ive really wanted to go to a nude beach but I dont have a car.

Most people just walk around on their feet.

OMG I can't WAIT for our Jamaica vacation! I will be nude 90% of the time. We have a clothing optional beach here where we live and dh and I have just discovered how much we love it. I started out topless then went nude. It is the most liberating thing ever! We body surfed together (I got dh nude woot!) and just had the best time. Can't wait to go again next weekend!

You will LOVE it!

I think Negril. We are still saving up! But I think he always goes to Negril.

We went to Negril last year and stayed at the RIU Negril. There were a few girls that were nude but for the most part 99% of everyone else was in swimsuits. It was mainly people vacationing from Europe that were nude and that's just their culture. It didn't bother me one bit and of course my husband was amused!

Nope. Just don't stare (obviously) lol Everyone really just minds their own business. In Jamaica the thing that will be different than our beach at home, is you may be more prone to talk to other people around you since you are all vacationing ya know? But honestly, I have a lot of nude experience (don't ask lol) and it really is like everyone is dressed. I can't explain it.

We went to Negril for our honeymoon 11 years ago and I went topless and weighed like 100 LBS at the time. However, you will find that 99% that do go without clothes on the nude beaches should really being wearing them. We stayed at Sandals resort which is right next to Hedonism. We decided to venture onto their property for a peek. Well, all I can say is we got within 50 feet turned around and ran the other direction. We saw plenty of people with things sagging to their knees. Skin, fat, boobs, body parts.....it was scary and will forever be etched in my mind. I wish you luck and alot better scenery than we had at the nude beach.

Is there any type of nude beach Etiquette we should know about?

Don't laugh when you see grandma and grandpa naked!

Don't try to push the beached whale back into the water because it is really a large naked woman or man sunbathing.

If you are nude please don't walk behind the couple getting married on the beach because they really don't want your boobs in their wedding photos.

Oh another thing.....ask yourself why you are going to a clothing optional beach. Is it so you can be naked and feel the warm sun all over your body and enjoy swimming and feeling free....or is it to gawk at people around you? My guess is the first reason.....;)

See, that's what I love about our beach here. Many of the bodies are less than "desireable". It showed me that a body is just that....a body. We all have them. Nude beaches aren't there to sexualize things. Watching people who are overweight or just don't have "attractive" bodies run around so free and confident is awesome.

My husband says Grand Lido on the clothing optional side is nice. Free atmosphere and not a lot of suffy honeymooners. (my husband's words from his experiences there!) lol

A big majority of nude beach goers will many times be older. Young people don't always have the confidence/comfort in their own skin to run around naked.

OP....have fun......I want a full report!

I don't "sexualize" it. I just believe that some things should be covered up. I think the same thing when I see people wearing clothing that looks to tight, and nasty on them. The "have they looked in the mirror" thought goes through my head. I for one take pride in my body however I don't think it should be shown to the world because it is no where near perfect. If you have it flaunt it if you don't have it for pity's sake cover it up.

ETA: I really don't want to see grandmas hoo ha and boobs and I have a grandma that would gladly show you hers. LOL!

So why did you go to "sneak a peek" at Hedonism? I for one don't go nude to flaunt myself. It just feels good. And no tan lines is a perk. FTR: I wasn't referring to you in any of my posts.

If you weren't refering to me why did you quote my post?? We went to hedonisim to look because we were curious and drunk. LOL!! As for my comment about flaunting it I believe in modesty. Unless your body is rock hard or supermodel perfect nobody who is not your spouse wants to see you naked. I weigh 124 and I am 5' 4" and I work out 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I would not be caught dead on a beach without my swimsuit on because I have strech marks and lose skin. It discusts me to look at it on my own body and I have no desire to see it on anyone elses body. I also believe in plastic surgery to fix problems with the body. If this makes me shallow so be it. I appologize if my point of view makes you sick. I also admire that you have the self confidence to walk around naked in front of people you don't know, knowing your body is not perfect.

So the boyfriend and I are leaving for Jamaica next Saturday! We will be visiting negril which is on 7 mile beach. From what we've read quite a bit of this beach is nude beach. I'm kinda nervous about it but the adventurer in me can't wait to indulge and just go with the flow. I've lost 10 lbs (back in yhr healthy weight range for my height) got a while to get to my goal but I'm feeling confident and I bought a super cute bikini that makes the girls look awesome.

1. Have you been to a nude beach? What's your experience like?
2. Any hot spots we should hit in Negril?

i don't know if that bikini is going to do you any good on the nude beach.

i'm not sure I could do a nude beach, personally. i don't have that confidence.

that's exactly what i was thinking lol

Is there any type of nude beach Etiquette we should know about?

Staring, pointing and laughing is considered rude

Seriously though... A nude beach is like any other beach... Only nude. There's old people, young people, fat people, thin people, all sorts of people. If you have hang ups about the human body - your own or other people's - don't go. If you are free of the nude = rude mindset you will probably love it.
