Help keep our beaches bare
A prize-filled fundraiser supporting the work that keeps Florida’s nude beaches open
The B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation is running its annual Keep Our Beaches Bare Raffle—a fundraiser that supports much of the advocacy keeping public nude beaches open and protected across the U.S.
And the prizes are genuinely impressive:
Grand Prize: A 12-day Big Nude Boat cruise for two (valued around $7,800), courtesy of Bare Necessities.
Other Prizes: Free stays at Bare Oaks, Mira Vista, Cypress Cove, Arroyo del Sol, BHH Resort in the Canary Islands, and more.
Bonus: If you buy $250–$500 in tickets, Bare Necessities will double your donation value as a discount on a 2026 Big Nude Boat booking. For example, $300 in tickets earns $600 off a cruise.
The drawing happens October 25 at Haulover Beach, and you don’t have to be there to win.

Why this fundraiser matters
Florida is home to more nude beaches and clubs than any other state, and it’s where many of the country’s most active naturist advocacy groups are based. Several of them—South Florida Free Beaches, Tampa Bay Free Beaches, Palm Beach Naturists, and Treasure Coast Naturists—are supporting sponsors of this year’s raffle alongside the B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation. These are the same organizations leading many of the state’s major efforts right now, from defending Haulover Beach against legislative threats to campaigning for a new family-friendly clothing-optional designation on the Gulf Coast at Ft. De Soto’s East Beach. These groups play a major role in Florida’s ongoing free-beach advocacy, and this raffle helps raise both awareness and funds to keep that work going.
If you care about keeping public beaches open to naturists, this is a meaningful way to help—and to stand with the Florida advocates doing the hard work on the ground. 🪐
(For transparency: I serve on the Board of Governors for the B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation—and yes, I bought $100 in raffle tickets. Wish me luck.)
This sounds like a great list of prizes to be won, but I don't see anything at the linked raffle page about the prizes, it only shows the ticket prices. I'm glad that Planet Nude wrote this article, with the prizes listed, but it really needs to be somewhere on the raffle sales page, too, so people know what they could win.
I think you may have missed the boat…
