Lonely Planet Travel Guide picks Terra Cotta Inn as one of the top 10 clothing optional resorts of the world

Here at The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California we have been getting a lot of good press lately.

I just learned that Lonely Planet Travel Guide company, (one of the biggest in
the world) picked Terra Cotta Inn as one of the top 10 clothing optional resorts
of the world.

Lonely Planet is owned by the BBC and is based in Australia. They have "a
commitment to independent travel, trustworthy advice and editorial
independence." They also have the reputation of seeking out great vacation
values as they were started by backpackers.

Anyone can say Ritz Carltons are the best, but who these days can afford them?
As the saying goes, "Value is the new luxury."

I have always said that Terra Cotta Inn is the ONLY nudist resort in the US that is affordable luxury and it is nice to see that Lonely Planet agrees with me. Plus we don't charge daily day use fees like most nudist resorts in the US.

Lonely Planet picked only two nudist resorts in the US, Cypress Cove and us. This is consistent as Cypress Cove is a very nice place and we are the ONLY nudist resort that caters to couples on vacation in the western US.

People always ask our opinions about other nudist places. It's nice for me now to
show non biased reviews of the clothing optional industry. And the assessments are very accurate.

I agree with the assessments although I really would not have included Hedonism with nudist resorts. But then they did warn people that it can get wicked and wild.

Here's their list:

"Top 10 clothing optional resorts of the world

Grand Lido Braco, Jamaica
A nice resort for couples. There are nude and prude sides. Grand Lido And Terra Cotta are 2 best places for 1st time nude sunbathing. June to the end of November is hurricane season. Very, very expensive.

Nude Beach vacation recommended by GoGirlfriend.com

There are so many websites out there. I never heard of gogirlfriend.com before. Here is what they say about their site:

GoGirlfriend.com - Travel with confidence
GG is a travel based opinion site for women going places
GoGirlfriend is where intelligent women go for travel information that matters. We inform, connect and inspire women to live their travel dreams.

Well today they are trying to inspire women to take a vacation at a nude beach in Florida. Here is the story:

"Florida Beaches Guide - Playalinda Beach


Move over wooden bangles and dangly earrings, we're shedding it all when we visit Playalinda Beach, a barrier island on Canaveral National Seashore. Yes, we understand nudism is illegal in Florida, but this is one beach you can shed your clothes and no one will notice - or care.

The most northern parking area of the beach is so secluded that nudism laws aren't enforced. You'll find a wide variety of visitors here from heterosexual couples to gay men to true naturists. If this describes you, Playalinda Beach should be on your (nude) vacation radar. If you're not into public displays of your body, Playalinda has a more conservative section along the parking lots leading up to spot 13..."

Here is another example of the mainstreaming of nude recreation. A women's travel site recommending women to take a vacation at a nude beach.

Of course they made an error in their story. Nudism is NOT illegal in Florida, it is just illegal at most beaches. Why they did not recommend Haulover Beach, I'll never know.

Also why they didn't recommend Cypress Cove which is the best nudist resort in Florida and just minutes outside of Orlando I don't know.

Finally, why they recommended a summer vacation in Florida is beyond me. Everyone knows Florida is the rainiest state in the US in the summer. The National Weather Service says 3 of the 10 rainiest cities in the US in the summer are Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. And this summer the weather has been worse then ever in Florida.

Gogirlfriend should have recommended a nude beach in California. Or better yet, they should have recommended staying at our resort in sunny Palm Springs, CA.

So for your best vacation ever give us The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Hope to see you in sunny Palm Springs!
