In response to the question just above, we enjoy the option of being able to respond to weather conditions, sunburns, cool/chilly breezes, etc. using common sense - which we card carrying, AANR MEMBER, normally nude, naturist resort members and condo owners appreciate. Plus the ladies often like to wrap a pareo or sarong around their waists at times so they don't have to carry a towel to dinner or to enjoy a drink at the resort's bar for example. That is one of many reasons we love Club Orient so much...

We live in Southern Maryland about 30 minutes from a very nice, upscale nudist club that to us has one fatal flaw: it has a mandatory full nudity at all times requirement and a group of "Nude Nazi" members who will yell at you if you are wearing any cloth on your body other than a hat! Even as you get out of your car when you drive in and walk to the office! (as actually happened to nudist friends of ours who visited...once...for three minutes...)

As a result we joined Avalon Resort, a wonderful CLOTHING OPTIONAL resort in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, about 2.5 hours west of our home and LOVE it there. Eight years ago we bought a 2 bedroom condo there and are usually up there every other weekend. There are no "Nude Nazis" there, just wonderful friendly people and a very welcoming ambience.
