About Live Oak Resort
Live Oak Resort is a private, gated clothing-optional resort on more than 25 acres at 9751 Lone Star Road outside Washington, Texas, in the countryside between Navasota and Brenham, about 35 minutes south of College Station. It has operated for decades (local press covered a change of ownership in 1988, when it was known as Live Oak Ranch), and although directories still list it as a family nudist resort, it is now an adults-only venue with a strong party and social programme. Guests can pitch a tent on sites with electricity, rent an RV site or long-term lot, or stay in a cabin. Facilities include a large pool and oversized hot tub, a dry sauna, a fitness centre, a clubhouse with TVs and a fireplace, a restaurant and snack bar open at weekends, tiled bathhouses, laundry, a general store with propane, and an outdoor pavilion with fire pits. Games include volleyball, pickleball, shuffleboard, darts and table tennis. Weekends bring themed events such as dances, foam parties and midnight volleyball, and the on-site Club Larry nightclub (BYOB) runs Friday and Saturday nights. There is also a couples-only play house. Guests may be nude or clothed anywhere on the grounds, and the resort opens all year.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on this private, gated property in Texas. The resort is adults only.
Public nudity is largely prohibited in the US under indecent exposure laws which vary significantly by state. Vermont has no state-level law against public nudity, making it unique. Florida designates specific beaches as clothing-optional (Haulover Beach, Blind Creek State Park). Federal jurisprudence under the First Amendment has occasionally recognised nude expression in protests, though states regulate for public decency standards. Most states prohibit exposure of "sexual organs" in public under statutes similar to Florida Statute § 800.03.

Alice Falls is a waterfall and swimming spot on the Ausable River near Keeseville, at the northeastern edge of the Adirondacks. Flat rock ledges beside the falls are used informally for nude sunbathing, including by families. It has no facilities or official status. River currents can be strong after rain, and visitors should respect nearby residents.
Alpenglow Ranch Clothing Optional B&B
Alpenglow Ranch is a clothing-optional bed and breakfast and small resort near Bend in central Oregon, listed with AANR and the Clothing Optional Home Network. Guests stay in the house and can relax nude around the grounds with views toward the Cascades, using Bend as a base for high-desert hiking and hot springs trips. Booking ahead is required.
Alvord Hot Springs
A privately owned desert soaking spot at the foot of Steens Mountain in south-eastern Oregon. Two rustic concrete pools look out over the white playa of the Alvord Desert. The spring is on a working ranch, and a small fee covers soaking, with bunkhouse rooms and camping nearby. Soaking here is clothing-optional, and the remote setting is known for big skies and stargazing.
Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is the northern, Volusia County district of Canaveral National Seashore, a federally protected barrier island south of New Smyrna Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast. A park road runs south from the entrance station past five numbered parking areas with boardwalks over the dunes; nude sunbathing happens on the sand south of parking area 5, the last lot before the road ends. A long-standing understanding between naturist groups and rangers dating to 2000 asks people to stay covered until about 150 yards south of that boardwalk, although nude visitors are often seen closer. South of there the beach continues as Klondike Beach, roughly a dozen miles of undeveloped shore with no road access, so the farther you walk the emptier it gets. The beach is wide, soft, pale sand backed by sea oats and dunes, with no shade, no buildings and no vendors. It draws fewer people than Playalinda at the Brevard end of the seashore, mostly because parking is so limited. Volusia County has never passed a public nudity ordinance, which is why this end of the seashore has a calmer legal position than Playalinda. Wildlife sightings (shorebirds, wild hogs, armadillos) are common on the drive in.
Apollo Beach Ramp 5
Apollo Beach Ramp 5 is a nudist-friendly beach in Volusia County, Florida,, USA. Nudity is optional. On-site amenities include restrooms.
