Palm Springs is the perfect summer time vacation destination

If you go to http://sunnyfun.com you will see our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is from 3/4 full to sold out this week.

And if you are looking to getaway on a Friday & Saturday, the next weekend that we have available is Fri & Sat July 24 & 25.

The weather has been fantastic here in sunny Palm Springs. This is one of the reasons why we are so popular. When you look at Florida and Jamaica, which are our biggest competition for nude vacations in the summer, you will see in the month of July, Orlando has had rain for 14 of 19 days which has totaled 6.95 inches so far. Orlando usually averages July rainfall of 7.15 inches for the month. Tampa has had rain for 10 of 19 days. And of course it is so cloudy and humid and buggy in Florida.

What is the next 10 day forecast for Florida in July according to weather.com? Thunderstorms everyday. What about Jamaica? Montego Bay's 10 day forecast is rain everyday.

Why would anyone voluntarily go to some of the rainiest summertime vacation spots in North America when they can have as much sun as they want here in sunny Palm Springs?

How much rain has Palm Springs had in July? None, nada, zip!

It is perfect nude sunbathing weather here with our dry heat.

Last year we upgraded our poolside misting system, It is now the most powerful, effective system in ALL Palm Springs. And with our salt water pool and jacuzzi, the water is heavenly.

So come on out to The Terra Cotta Inn and Palm Springs and relax.

Don't forget on Monday thru Thursday in July and August, we have our special of stay 1 night, the 2nd is half priced. And if you stay a week we take an additional $100 off our already discounted weekly rates.

Key West in Florida to have a nude beach referendum

Key West may have a referendum this fall on whether they should have a legal nude beach. I jokingly am tempted to write their city council and say, "No, I am against it. Now you will get all east coast tourists who fall for you sunshine state false advertising going to Key West which is one of the rainiest cities in the US to go nude sunbathing. Instead they should coming here to Palm Springs, California, the sunniest city in the US to go nude sunbathing.

But, seriously, a nude beach in Key West is a great idea if run properly. Haulover Beach in Miami, Florida is one of the best run nude beaches in the world and the most popular of all beaches in Florida, topless, nude, or not.

Comparing our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort here in Palm Springs, we are the 2nd most popular of ALL hotels in Palm Springs, only the Indian casino hotel is more popular because they give away free room nights.

And of course if a nudist resort is poorly run, it goes bankrupt.

Well, run nude beaches are a boon to tourism. Now if we could only get oue own state parks department here in California to realize that as they want to close down the most popular nude beach in California, San Onofre. We have a lot of east coast tourists stay with us midweek and go to San Onofre on Sat & Sun when it is popular.

Here is the story in USA Today newspaper:

"Key West weighing referendum on nude bathing

Each year, during Key West's 10-day debauchery known as "Fantasy Fest," body painting more likely than not passes as clothing, even downtown...

This week, however, a city commissioner will propose setting aside a 300-yard stretch of Smathers Beach for nude bathing. One reason, perhaps, for a sense of urgency: The demolition of the Atlantic Shores Resort, with its legendary clothing-optional pool bar.

The Herald reports that The Key West Innkeeper's Association has conducted an informal survey that shows 80% of 225 tourism-based business owners supported a nude beach...

If the proposal passes, a referendum on the issue would be held in October."

European Sunbathing pools in Las Vegas are not the same as clothing optional resorts

We have had guests go to Las Vegas trying out their European style sunbathing pools thinking they will have the same experience as vacationing at our clothing optional resort, The Terra Cotta Inn in Palm Springs, California. They have nothing in common with nudist resorts.

We have been to 2 ourselves. What sets Las Vegas topless pools apart so much is the men way outnumber the women. So much so that many women are intimidated and do not go topless sunbathing. Another thing is they are very heavily drinking oriented as they make lots of money on drinks. One of the pools we were at was charging $15 for mojitos. And their beer and wine were way overpriced too.

On weekends, it is a major drunken party bash. Alcohol is flowing, girls are screaming, it is not a great place to relax. If you are looking for a frat party atmosphere, it is perfect, but not a romantic place for couples.

Finally, they have no shade unless you want to pay around $300 for cabanas. They haven't even invested in poolside misters or a salt water pool. We are a 17 room inn and we care about our guests and we invested in misters and pool umbrellas and salt water pool, but not Las Vegas topless pools. Those things don't make them money.

An Australian writer wrote for their big news organization news.au.com about his experience at the European style topless sunbathing pools in Las Vegas:

"Party like a Las Vegas rock star


...Even though sunlight burns my bleary eyes and a jackhammer pounds my brain, a broad smile covers my face.


My hangover fades as I soak in my surroundings...

...Bare it all

The hedonism continues the next day at Bare at The Mirage.

Adult pool bars that allow topless sunbathing are all the rage in Vegas...

A surprisingly small pool is the focus of the venue...

VIP cabanas are elevated above the water, perfect for starlets to lie back on the comfy sofas and see all the competing posers.

I soon realise why the pool is so small the beautiful people come to be seen beside it rather than in it.

...Elevated above the pool, feet up in the cabana, sun shining on my face and enjoying the parade of half-naked women walking by.

Have I just stumbled into my adolescent fantasy?

Surely it can't get better than this? That's when a waitress in a baby-blue bikini brings me my mojito..."

Living like a rock star the partying, the food, the booze,... man, it's exhausting."

Vegas expects the female guests to be the entertainment for the men like this Australian reporter. Some of the topless pools like the Rio have to hire topless dancers to topless sunbathe as they are so overwhelmed with men and so intimidating that no regular woman would ever feel comfortable topless sunbathing there.

So if you are a big time exhibitionist and love the attention of lots and lots and lots and lots of men, Las Vegas European style sunbathing pools are perfect for you to go around topless and shake it for all the boys.

Above is an ad for one of the topless pools in Vegas at a shopping mall.

If you are a regular woman who wants a nice romantic vacation experience and want to try topless or nude sunbathing, then come over to sunny Palm Springs, California only 280 miles from Las Vegas. Our resort is perfect.

Our resort is the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the US and is perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Nude Beach goers at San Onofre to get tickets after labor Day

So much for people thinking we live in a democracy here in California.

San Onofre nude beach has been a nude beach for almost 50 years. Then last year a dictator of "moral values" took over as the head (but obviously not brains) of the states Parks department. Obviously she has major issues with nudity and people enjoying themselves while nude sunbathing.

She declared San Onofre Nude Beach illegal to go nude sunbathing. Naturists sued. They won in the lower courts, but lost in the court of appeals. Now they are deciding whether to appeal to the California Supreme Court.

This is a very popular nude beach. It is the most popular one at the San Onofre area. In a poll that was on the San Clemente Times website (before the results were taken down) it was over 80% of people were in favor of the nude beach.

So much for us being a democracy. It's sad here in America that one nasty politician with power can undo 50 years of public use of a nude beach.

Here is the story:

"Bare beach goers at Trail 6 in San Onofre State Beach will get away with a warning through the summer.

State officials said they plan to educate the public at the traditionally clothing-optional beach about the new ban -- posting signs and verbally warning state park visitors through Labor Day weekend.

"After that time, appropriate enforcement action will be taken including citation and arrest if necessary," said Ken Kramer, district superintendent of the Orange Coast District. The citation fine is unclear because it's ultimately determined by the courts, Kramer said.

At the same time, a group of nudists who want to keep it clothing-optional at the 1,000-foot stretch of beach are considering appealing their case to the state's Supreme Court after they lost the latest legal wrangling...

"Apparently, they are happy to collect the significant revenue Trail 6 generates in day use fees," Baylis said of the citation delay...

Their decision overturned a lower court's decision in which an Orange County Superior Court judge ruled that the Cahill Policy is indeed a regulation and that state Department of Parks and Recreation violated procedure when they adopted a nudity ban without first seeking public feedback...

For the full story click here

It will be sad if it closes. We have many guests from the midwest and east coast come out here in the summer and spend Sunday nights thru Friday nights at our resort in Palm Springs and go to San Onofre on Saturday and Sunday to go nude sunbathing at the beach, so they can have a beach experience. Now they won't suffer as they will just spend the whole week at our resort, but there staying there I'm sure brought in a lot of revenue to that area as the nude beach is the post popular beach in that whole state park.

Too bad the idiots at the state Parks department don't open their eyes to see how Haulover Beach became the most popular beach in Miami because it is a nude beach. They could also look to Palm Springs where they would see that our nude resort, The Terra Cotta Inn has had the highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in Palm Springs in the summertime for over the last 10 years.

So if you are looking for a fun, relaxing vacation, give us a call at 800-786-6938.

Skin is In - Happy National Nude Day July 14th, 2009

Nude Recreation Week is coming to a close. It has been a great week as far as positive PR for nude recreation.

The American Association for Nude Recreation has done a fantastic job in positively promoting the joys of skinny dipping. Their idea for the Guinness World Record in North America for skinny dipping was brilliant.

National Nude Day reminds everyone who much fun you can have enjoying life in the nude.

If you work at home, work in the nude tomorrow. If you have to wear clothes then skinny dip in your back yard if you have a pool. If you don't have access to a pool, relax in your home in the nude when you get off of work. Go to sleep in the nude.

The human body is a wonderful thing. People need to realize that there is nothing to be ashamed of by not wearing clothes. In Europe, most beaches are topless and many are nude. Slowly the US is catching up to Europe in realizing Nude does not have to mean Lewd.

So enjoy life Au Naturel Tomorrow.
