**List of national park signs under federal review moves into the absurd**
By Kylie Mohr, March 10, 2026
Between June and August, national park officials from across the country flagged signs, brochures, exhibits and more for review by the Trump administration as it seeks to edit the history of America’s public lands. Materials on the chopping block include those that display “improper partisan ideology,” “a false reconstruction of American history,” or anything that “inappropriately disparages Americans” or “emphasizes matters unrelated to the beauty, abundance, or grandeur” of parks’ natural features.
Though information about the Civil War, Black and Indigenous history and climate change were targeted extensively, those weren’t the only topics called into question.
SFGATE reviewed a database with hundreds of materials that employees sent to National Park Service leadership over the summer. An anonymous group that described themselves as “civil servants on the front lines” leaked the material, along with detailed information on how the review process is being carried out internally.
“This data belongs to the American people, who need to know what is being done in their name,” reads a website created by the group. The Washington Post first reviewed and confirmed the authenticity of the internal government database.
Among the most unusual of the flagged documents: photos of signs about nude sunbathing in Florida...

**Cape Town cancels World Naked Bike Ride following backlash**
by Cameron Kelly on March 10, 2026
The 2026 World Naked Bike Race in Cape Town, traditionally held the day before the Cape Town Cycle Tour, was cancelled amid growing pressure from local authorities, reports Cape {town} Etc.
The event, held annually for the past 18 years, was reportedly cancelled after the City of Cape Town imposed new conditions requiring participants to be fully clothed.
Event coordinator and representative Marthinus Pretorius said this year’s event faced growing pressure, uncertainty, and even hostility toward the naturist community in Cape Town. The problems reportedly began with last year’s Naked Bike Ride, with the City citing sections 9 and 22 of the Sexual Offences Act of 2007. Although the 2025 event proceeded, this year’s was cancelled.
The event is usually held in coordination with the City of Cape Town’s guidelines, with Pretorius stating in an interview with CapeTalk, ‘we [usually] just give notice to the City that we are going to do a protest, and then there is a meeting in line with the Public Gatherings Act. In that meeting, they give us the go-ahead.’
The growing tension led to unresolved questions, making it difficult to proceed with the event: ‘We have been struggling to get answers out of the City of Cape Town…they try to avoid answering me or speaking to us.’
Pretorius went on to emphasise the importance of highlighting the issues faced by the naturist community and promoting body positivity, claiming that police have recently begun telling people to cover up at Sandy Bay, which was declared an unofficial secluded nudist beach in 1996.
The event coordinators have reported the issues and filed a complaint with the Commission for Language, Religious and Cultural Rights...

**UK's hidden paradise beach loved by nudists named country's best**
A hidden gem on the UK's coast boasts sparkling waters, golden sands and a breathtaking landscape, as well as a section popular with naturists
By Milo Boyd, 10 Mar 2026
A beautiful beach with glistening waters that wouldn't look out of place on a travel brochure for the Mediterranean has been named the best in the country.
As the warmer months draw near, there's no better moment to pencil in a 'beach day' in your diary. And if you are, one magnificent location that is well worth a visit is Botany Bay.
The Kent beach consistently receives Blue Flag status, which is a recognised national mark of cleanliness and upkeep. But it's not just a tidy, sewage-free spot. Botany Bay was recently crowned the best beach in the UK by Conde Nast
"Kent's beaches make for a perfect day trip for down-from-Londoners, but many sunseekers opt for the likes of Margate's Main Sands and Broadstairs' Viking Bay as they're close to lots of family-friendly amenities. Stray off the beaten track slightly and be rewarded with Botany Bay's gorgeous sands and clear, shallow waters. Head down the main path and take a right to the buzzier side where in-the-know families set up base with cooler boxes and chunky picnic blankets, or stroll left for a more peaceful afternoon—things take a nudist turn at the far end," the travel publication wrote...

**What Japan's onsen culture taught me about body positivity**
'I found myself slowing down, taking care of myself in a way I had never done before'
Adele Miner , Sat, 07 Mar, 2026
I’m standing in a shower, scrubbing my hair with shampoo, completely starkers. It’s a normal occurrence, of course, to shower naked. Except this time, I’m surrounded by seven other women, all of whom are also naked and washing themselves.
I had been aware of Japanese onsens before booking my trip to Japan. I understood the concept; it’s a place you go to bathe and soak, like a spa. I also understood the rules; you had to do it naked. Due to the latter, I assumed that I would never experience an onsen; I simply could not get my baps out in a room full of strangers. But as it turns out, I can, and feel not only squeaky clean, but also transformed in the process.
What is an Onsen?
An onsen is a natural hot spring, geothermally-heated water that fills a natural or artificial pool in which you bathe. Many onsens across Japan use water from natural hot springs; however quality can vary depending on where you are. In places where sources are limited, some facilities may dilute, heat, filter, or use artificial jinko-onsen water to mimic natural springs.
If you wish to use an onsen, there is a set of rules you must follow...

**Steves: Soaking it up in Europe’s best spas**
By RICK STEVES, March 08, 2026
With my intense travel schedule, I savor detours where I put away the schedule and notes and simply enjoy the moment. And for me, there’s no better detour in Europe than visiting a public bath or spa for a relaxing, good soak.
Some Americans are prudish when it comes to enjoying public baths in Europe — especially when the dress code is just a towel. I understand the hesitation; my first time was awkward too. I was with friends — a young, good-looking German couple. As they got naked in the changing area, I felt like the Road Runner just beyond the cliff’s edge. Then I eased up and got naked as well. It wasn’t sexy — simply open and free.
One of my favorite bath experiences is in the German town of Baden-Baden. It’s said that the Roman Emperor Caracalla may have soaked away his rheumatism here. Today the town has two very different baths. The Roman-Irish Bath (Friedrichsbad) is traditional, stately, indoors, contemplative, and relaxing — it’s just you, the past, and your body. The Caracalla Spa (Caracalla Therme), with both indoor and outdoor areas, is more perky, modern, and social.
I prefer the Friedrichsbad. It’s a steamy world of peaceful pools, exquisitely tiled sauna rooms, and complete nudity — where, for the cost of a good dinner, you get the works. Multilingual signs lead you from room to room...

**San Diego’s ‘nude’ beach going strong nearly 50 years after it was outlawed**
Your morning catch-up: Clothing-optional beaches, a $19-million push to polish California’s national image and more big stories
By Hugo Martín, March 7, 2026
Nearly 50 years ago, the city of San Diego put an end to the nation’s first municipally recognized “clothing-optional” beach, banning nudity on a 900-foot strip of shoreline at Black’s Beach.
But today, beachgoers continue to stroll, sunbathe and frolic buck naked on that stretch of sand, in defiance of the law.
I can attest to this illegal behavior, having witnessed it myself. Let me explain.
During a recent visit to San Diego with my girlfriend, we came upon Black’s Beach at the base of 300-foot cliffs below the Torrey Pines Glider Port. No sign at the parking lot alerted us to the beach’s history. As we set down our beach chairs, we spotted two fellow beachgoers strolling by, sans bathing suits. And then a couple more lounging in their birthday suits. And then a few more.
“Didn’t you research this beach before we came?” my chagrined girlfriend asked.
Cue me, looking befuddled. Had I done my due diligence, this is what I would have learned.
The counterculture days
It was the 1970s in San Diego. Antiwar protesters marched in the streets. The Earth movement and the hippy-themed musical “Hair” were all the rage. “Nature freaks” roamed the city, said Carol Olten, a historian for the La Jolla Historical Society.
Amid the counterculture vibe, the San Diego City Council voted in 1974 to create what is believed to be the nation’s first “clothing-optional” beach...

**Why are so many statues naked? An art historian explains this tradition’s ancient roots**
By Anna Swartwood House, March 2, 2026
Why are so many statues naked? – Artie, age 12, Astoria, New York
We are all born naked, and sculptures of the human body in its natural state are as old as humankind.
In the history of art, nudity does not have just one meaning; it can express everything from innocence to sexual desire, from triumph to defeat. The 20th-century art historian Kenneth Clark made a distinction between the “naked,” meaning unclothed and ashamed, and the “nude,” meaning the body in its most beautiful form. Most people today use the two words interchangeably, though.
The most influential male nude statues come from ancient Greece, starting in the sixth century B.C.E. There were a number of reasons for this cultural focus on the nude male body – in fact, the classics scholar Larissa Bonfante encouraged thinking of Greek nudity not just as a lack of clothing but as a “costume” in and of itself. In other words, nudity was something you wore in particular situations.
Carving in stone of an idealized nude male figure with one leg ahead of the other
Artists portrayed many of the valued figures in Greek society – including gods, athletes, warriors and heroes – naked. Nudity was a feature of public life in certain settings: For example, athletes exercised and competed in the nude, and statues of the brawny nude demigod Herakles might adorn a temple. Nude, striding statues of young men called kouroi were used both as offerings to the gods and as grave markers.
Having a fine, athletic, youthful body, whether honed for athletic competition or for fighting wars, was not only a sign of being “kalos,” or beautiful, but also could prove your “arete,” or excellence.
Embodying ideals of beauty and excellence...

**Phuket nude beach row signals possible new rules for Pattaya and tourist cities nationwide**
By Pattaya MailMarch 7, 2026
PATTAYA, Thailand – Authorities in Phuket have stepped up monitoring at a secluded beach known online as “Shadow Beach” after reports of foreign tourists swimming and sunbathing nude, an issue that could also serve as a reminder for major tourist destinations such as Pattaya.
Officers from the Tourist Police Bureau joined local patrol teams from Rawai municipality on March 6 to inspect the beach in Rawai subdistrict following viral videos that drew attention to the location. Some travel bloggers have promoted the remote stretch of sand as a “nude beach,” attracting visitors looking for a clothing-optional experience.
During the inspection, authorities found several foreign tourists, both men and women, without clothing while swimming and sunbathing along the beach. Officers approached the visitors and issued warnings, explaining that public nudity violates Thai indecency laws and can carry fines of up to 5,000 baht.
Provincial officials have instructed relevant agencies to monitor the area more closely to prevent similar incidents. Local administrative units, police, and tourism authorities have been asked to coordinate efforts to ensure visitors follow the rules governing public spaces...
