With 350 days of sunshine each year, crystal blue skies and beautiful mountain vistas, the Palm Springs area is the perfect location to work on an all over suntan year round.Naturists have three distinctly different resorts to choose from.

Palm Springs is a "hip" place for all ages. During the 80's people seeking the sun drifted to other desert communities. But no community could re-create the history and mystique of Palm Springs. In the 90's people began coming back to the "Springs" because of its "main street" feel. Here, in a relatively small area, people stroll along a beautiful boulevard sprinkled with palm trees, great dining, entertainment, galleries, and shopping. You have a world class environment backed up by Mt. San Jacinto, towering almost two miles into a turquoise sky, and kissed with sensuous warm desert breezes. You can enjoy Palm Springs for a day, a weekend, a month or a lifetime. And, if you choose, you can enjoy this warm friendly resort community naturally - sans clothes at one of the naturist resorts.

Nude sunbathing in the desert isn't a new phenomenon. This incredible desert environment with abundant hot springs and rustling palm trees has always inspired people to go skinny dipping. Palm Springs has always been a place where people have dived naked into private swimming pools.Blocked from public view by vine covered block walls you are open to the desert air and in plain view of the mountain that rises from the desert floor. Most people would tell you that this climate begs you to toss your clothes aside and dive naturally into the refreshing waters of private secluded pools. Why it took so long for the natural lifestyle to become the focus of private enterprise, I can't tell you. But in the early part of the 1990's several entrepreneurs saw in Palm Springs an opportunity to provide world class accommodations for people who like to enjoy the sun naturally - without clothing.

Historically people have thought of nude recreationists as people who frequent nudist colonies or nudist camps. These facilities were typically primitive and located in isolated areas. The times have changed. A nationwide poll shows that 80% of Americans believe people should be able to enjoy, without interference from officials, nude sunbathing at a beach designated for that purpose . In addition, responses to other questions in the poll suggest more than 51 million Americans have gone skinny dipping or sunbathed nude in a mixed-gender group. We're not talking old fogies here, either. Younger membership, ages 18 to 34, has increased 50 percent since 1994. Clearly nude recreation is becoming more mainstream in the United States. To meet this demand private enterprise is providing upscale resorts that cater to people desiring the nude recreation experience.
