Australian nudists bring money to Byron Bay

The Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce is happy about the increased use of their nude beach by nudists coming south from the more crowded Gold Coast nude beaches and those refugees from Queensland's restrictions on nudity and nude beaches.

Are overweight people welcome at nudist venues?

The story below highlights one of the things about nudism I like the most. Most of the nudists I've met in the past 40 years site the freedom and relaxing feelings they derive from being nude in a social situation. They also site being able to communicate freely, a doctor socializing with a trucker or minister with no sense of class distinctions. These feelings are all true. However, the most important thing I've observed over the years is that nudists are mostly non-judgemental. We accept people of all sizes, shapes, deformities, disabilities, or personal grooming in the form of tattoos, piercings, etc. I am always amazed at those textile folks who are so imbued with body shame that they make comments like, "Did you ever realize that 98% of people who are nudists are people you would never want to see nude?" This flatly demonstrates these people haven't got a clue about nudism or nudists. It is for this reason that I still embrace the nudist lifestyle and recommend it highly to those I meet.

Well Germany's official nude hiking trail in the town of Dankerode seems to be a hit after one year in operation. Maybe more more countries will become enlightened enough to establish legal nude venues such as beaches, hiking trails, etc.
