My first and probably most memorable time was about 30 years ago in France. My family holidayed at a camp site on the coast in the Vendee region. Adjacent to the camp site was a naturist beach (unknown to me at the time of booking) with beautiful golden sands. As everyone was naked we just did the same so as not to be "different". Well what an enjoyable time we had on that beach - so free and liberating an experience, not to mention the all over suntan we eventually ended up with. My wife who is on the shy side also took great pleasure from the sights and was quietly thrilled when neighbouring sunbathing couples came over to chat with us which frequently happened as it gave her an opportunity to see other close to.
For me it was such a joy to be on that beach - to swim in the glorious sea and to be with others in a totally relaxed setting.
Well glad to see you kept it going...hope your wife has too.

Sadly no - she has to watch her skin a lot more nowadays, so avoids stripping off. Not too bad around the house !

i was around 16 and on vacation in the mid west, i'm from USA. the son of the family we were staying with was about my age but he could drive a car. he and i were driving around seeing some of the sites. he asked if i had ever been skinny dipping. i didn't know what that me so he told me. i told him someday i would like to try it. he took me on a back road to river, got out and undressed. he said to do the say and we were going to go skinny dipping. i join him. that was my first time nude and skinny dipping and it was very exciting
our first nude beach abroad was at sunny beach in Bulgaria we were with friends who are not naturist so went back on our own, i underestimated the strength of the sun and got a burnt bum but we really enjoyed it and went back a couple of times. Our "non-naturist " friends went to the beach to look at the nudies and the call us strange 🙂
How strange many of us started family nudism by accident abroad. We were in South of France in 1976 (when it was affordable), at a camp site near Antibe and wandered onto a nudist beach. It was the 1st time I had gone nude since my early teens and the 1st time ever for my wife, but we enjoyed it so much we went there every day. From then on, the majority of our holidays involved nudism. Alan
France seems to be a popular location for first time experiences of naturism. 😀
It was August 1970 when my girlfriend (now my wife) and I were camped at Pampelonne plage, just outside St Tropez. We discovered part of the shore nearby was occupied by folk without swimsuits. We were still in our teens (just) and thought 'When in Rome...'
And have never looked back.
