32nd Anniversary of Nude Recreation Week Celebrated at Nudist and Clothing Optional Resorts

Shortly after Americans finished observing our nation's independence on July 4th, another major holiday period needs to be celebrated.

It is the 32nd Anniversary of Nude Recreation Week, held from July 9-15th, 2007. The American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) is a major sponsor of this holiday.

Nude sunbathing, swimming, and skinny dipping has had a long history in America. Presidents John Quincy Adams and Teddy Roosevelt used to go nude swimming in the Potomac river. And Benjamin Franklin greatly enjoyed his daily outdoor "air baths" while wearing just his birthday suit.

Nude Recreation Week lets everyone know that by vacationing at nudist and clothing optional resorts, you can finally find a fun way to shed all of life's daily stresses along with your clothes.

Nude recreation is the fastest growing trend in the travel and leisure industries. In a recent national survey conducted by Yesawich, Pepperdine, Brown, & Russell/Yankelovich Partners, 12% of adults responded to the survey that they consider a resort that offered a nude recreation experience extremely desirable. Compared to only 10% of adults saying the same about a golf vacation, and only 6% saying the same about a tennis vacation, it is easy to see that vacationing at nudist resorts is definitely on the rise in popularity.

As can be expected, the most desirable nude sunbathing resorts are located in the warmest parts of the U. S. Most notably Palm Springs, California and Florida.

In Palm Springs, CA, the popular place is The Terra Cotta Inn Clothing Optional Resort and spa.

Always sunny Palm Springs is a very popular destination with the clothes free set. Averaging less than 3 inches of rain a year, this lush desert oasis has the sunniest, best weather in America.

First timers feel very comfortable at Terra Cotta. So much so that CBSmarketwatch reported that they are the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly there.
