Florida naturist communities face challenges after hurricanes

Nudist clubs and beaches across Florida sustain widespread damage, but the naturist community unites for recovery

Florida’s naturist communities are reeling from the damage caused by two back-to-back hurricanes—Milton and Helene. In early October 2024, Hurricane Milton slammed into the state, causing widespread destruction to nudist clubs, clothing-optional beaches, and residential areas. Just ten days earlier, Hurricane Helene left many struggling to recover. Nudist spaces such as Lake Como, Sunnier Palms, Suwannee Valley Resort, and Playalinda and Blind Creek Beaches bore the brunt of the storms, with some clubs facing prolonged closures and severe damage to their infrastructure and homes.

Despite these setbacks, the community, supported by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and other regional and national organizations, is showing resilience as it moves forward with cleanup and recovery. 🪐
