Been here since '74, and Sheriff's patrol does issue citations randomly. You just never know when. As for Cypress Cove...my wife & I visited for the 1st and last time 5 years ago. It's just a place for men to hit on your wife or girlfriend, and this loser Hadley (who runs the place) supports this type of behavior. Cypress cove sucks!!"

On Florida Beaches Guide - Playalinda Beach , Tom Mulhall said "Great article recommending nude beaches for vacations. Nude beaches are illegal in most parts of the US. Why risk going to Playalinda beach when you have the best and only legal nude beach in Florida down in Miami Beach called Haulover Beach. Also why risk going to an illegal nude beach when you have the best nudist resort in Florida called Cypress Cove just minutes outside of Orlando. Finally, everyone knows that Florida averages more rain than any other state in the US in the summer time. Why risk having your vaction rained out when you can go to one of the top 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world according to Trip Advisor called Terra Cotta Inn located in sunny Palm Springs, CA. For more information about nudist resorts and nude beaches located all ove rthe US and Canada go to http://aanr.com"

On Florida Beaches Guide - Playalinda Beach , Anonymous said "Imagine, after an exhausting week of the daily facade everyone puts on every morning before we step out our doors, the ability to go to a place where none of that defines the person you are. Where you are not judged by the car you drive, the type of job that you have, or the clothes on your back. Imagine a place where everyone's the same, and you'll imagine what it's like to visit there. Imagine all of this peace and beauty in a naturist surrounding, free of one of the strongest reminders of the world we so dearly need to retreat from: our clothes. Imagine a place like naturistmingle.com where no one is judged by appearance but is accepted only as God himself created him. Imagine an environment where even children can play in complete safety and peace."

On Florida Beaches Guide - St. Vincent Wildlife Refuge, OutdoorGeekGal said "I am a female USFWS volunteer on SVNWR. Most importantly, there is no camping permitted on the island unless you are a registered hunter during one of our three organized hunts (women do participate in these!). Also, to my knowledge, neither the Chamber of Commerce, nor anyone else, provides free boat access to the island, EXCEPT during the two Spring and Fall Open House days that you mention. Monthly tours are offered by the local Supporters group for a small fee. Advance reservations are required (850) 653-3904. Bird, butterfly, wildlife and wildflower watching and photography are TOPS here, once you do get across. A mountain bike or kayak for getting around is great, too. Interesting exhibits are on display at the refuge office in Apalachicola, FL. Blow their minds, and tell them that red wolf #982 (our island alpha female) sent you. Go to: http://st.vincentvolunteers.googlepages.com for more info; or, we have a flicker photo site on the web at: http://flickr.com/photos/stvincentvolunteers/sets/ Come and visit this unique freshwater barrier island in Florida, that is primarily overseen by female staff and volunteers!
