Florida free beach updates

Reminder: Three Florida free beach groups plan a beach cleanup in their respective area in September in conjunction with International Coastal Cleanup Day. Community service is followed by social time. Read on for details.

Treasure Coast Naturists (TCN)'s September 16 coastal cleanup takes place on Blind Creek Beach in Fort Pierce from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Included is a fundraising raffle with great prizes centered on the theme, nudist destination vacations and gear. Raffle tickets are available at the TCN booth on the beach until 1 p.m., and must be submitted for the drawing before 2 p.m. Raffle rules, terms, and conditions are posted on the events page of TCN's website.

TCN actively welcomes new members and donors to help care for Blind Creek Beach, including the expense of maintaining port-a-potties in the parking lot, which TCN provides (not St. Lucie County). Annual dues are $20 per household, and you can find a TCN membership form via the first link in this paragraph.

To that end, TCN holds its next membership drive and naturist pool party at a private home in Jupiter, FL in Palm Beach County on Saturday evening, September 30. The party is for TCN members, but you may join on the spot. Save time at the door by filling out your membership form in advance. Dinner is potluck, so bring a dish to share. Follow instructions via the above link to RSVP and let the organizers know whether you will bring an appetizer, main dish, vegetable dish or casserole, or dessert.

Tampa Area Naturists (TAN) has its September 30 coastal cleanup on the beach at Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin, FL, 2-4 p.m. The 1st Annual TAN Tribal Council takes place at Sunnier Palms Nudist Resort in Fort Pierce, FL and Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort in Loxahatchee Groves, FL, September 22-24, including time on Blind Creek and Haulover Beaches. Get dates and details of other TAN events at facebook.com/TampaAreaNaturists/events.

As TAN continues to build support for a clothing-optional beach in the Tampa Bay Area, it is actively seeking additional signatures on its online petition. Please sign it if you haven't done so yet, and ask your friends to do the same. (Article continues at top of next column.)

(... continued from previous column)

Palm Beach Naturists (PBN) has its September 16 coastal cleanup at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park in North Palm Beach, FL, 8-10 a.m. "Like" PBN's Facebook page at facebook.com/pbnaturists and subscribe to its e-mail list to be kept informed of developments.

PBN has a new website at palmbeachnaturists.org. Some key sections, such as membership, donations, and gear (PBN-branded merchandise) are still under development, so keep checking back for updates. PBN plans to offer, for a limited time, a Founding Member lifetime membership with a package of PBN swag for a one-time donation of $250. General membership will be available for $25 per year.

SFFB Board meeting on Haulover Beach, September 9

The Board of Directors of South Florida Free Beaches usually meets on the second Saturday of every month at 2:00 p.m. under the North Chickee (thatch-roofed shade structure) near Lifeguard Tower 15 on Haulover Beach unless another date and time or location is announced. See below for the remainder of this year's schedule. Any planned exception to the second Saturday pattern is noted with an asterisk.

The meetings are open to SFFB sponsors / members, supporters, and invited guests. Prior to setting out, check the upper left-hand corner of SFFB's home page at sffb.com (under Today's Beach Reports) for any change in date, time, or location due to unavailability of Board members or in case of bad weather, when the meeting may take place indoors.

Paris opens naturist zone in city park on trial basis

We reported in the July 2017 issue that the City Council of Paris, France had postponed until 2018 implementation of a public, clothing-optional zone in Bois de Vincennes, one of the city's forest parks, which it had approved in September 2016. On August 31, however, the zone opened on a trial basis through October 15. For details, read Revealed: Paris opens first nudist park but no voyeurs allowed.
