The 5 Things Everyone Worries About Before Their First Naturist Experience

We’re really excited to welcome Brendan Jones from Get Naked Australia as a contributor to Nude Beach Map.
For his first piece, Brendan tackles the stuff almost everyone thinks about before trying naturism for the first time - body confidence, being stared at, awkward moments and all those little fears your brain invents before you actually get naked.
Brendan’s spent the past decade helping make social nudity feel more normal, approachable and a hell of a lot less intimidating - and this is a great first read from him.

Thanks for everyone for supporting our nude cruise

We ran our first clothing-optional cruise in Vancouver this weekend, and there was definitely a bit of nervousness putting it together.
When you organize something like this, you really just have to trust that it attracts the right people (despite screening) - people who understand the vibe and want the same relaxed, respectful experience.
And somehow, it did.
We had locals from the Wreck Beach community In Vancouver, people came up from Seattle and Portland, and even a couple who flew in from the Midwest just to join us!
Cruising through Indian Arm in Vancouver - swimming, music, food and a boat full of genuinely lovely people. It ended up feeling far more like a group of friends than an event full of strangers.
For a first attempt, we couldn’t have asked for much more. Definitely looking at doing it again next year! Thanks to anyone who supported or upvoted our initiative.🙌 There is a demand for this and maybe someone should organise more in North America and beyond...
Any questions yell out!
