Blars' Naturist Page

IMHO the difference between a naturist and a nudist is a matter of setting. Naturists prefer being without clothing in natural settings: beaches, natural hot springs, etc. Nudists go to "landed" clubs to disrobe. Many people do both. In the USA, the two main groups are "The Naturist Society" and "The American Association of Nude Recreation". (The latter changed their name from "The American Sunbathing Association".)

See my Southern California Clothing Optional page for local information.

The Naturist Society (TNS) publishes a quarterly magazine Nude and Natural. The Camping Bares of Southern California and the Canyon State Naturists are affiliated travel clubs.
