About Mira Vista Resort
Mira Vista Resort is a commercial clothing-optional resort on about 30 acres of Sonoran Desert on the northwest side of Tucson, near Marana, with views across saguaros and mature trees toward the surrounding mountains. The property has a long history: its oldest buildings are said to date from the 1850s, it later served as a dude ranch, and in the early 2000s it ran as Coyote Moon, a guest ranch for gay, lesbian and transgender visitors, before reopening as a clothing-optional resort in May 2006. Accommodation is in about 14 suites and rooms in adobe-style buildings, plus condos for rent and RV sites. Listings describe a full-service restaurant and lounge, two large pools and a conversation pool, a spa, pickleball courts, a fitness centre and massage. The resort is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation, and AANR promoted it in 2025 as one of Arizona's two standout clothing-optional resorts. Guests can be nude across the grounds but are not required to be. Like most southern Arizona resorts, it is busiest in the mild months from autumn to spring, when many winter visitors stay for weeks; summer days are very hot.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on this private resort property in Arizona.
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.

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.
