**Barre Bans Public Nudity, Citing Inquiry From Nude Taxi Driver**
By Gina Tron, April 14, 2026
Barre will soon have its first-ever public nudity ordinance, which will go into effect in late April.
During a March 24 meeting, the Barre City Council introduced the first reading of a public nudity ordinance. During that discussion, Mayor Thom Lauzon noted that Barre has gone more than 200 years without a public nudity ordinance and this would mark a change in that. At an April 7 meeting, they held a second hearing of the ordinance, which the council unanimously adopted. It will be enacted by late April.
Barre City Manager Nicolas Storellicastro confirmed to The Bridge that the ordinance was prompted by an inquiry from “Tara,” who operates a taxi while naked in St. Albans. He said Tara called the clerk’s office and the police department in March asking about applications and permits.
Tara told The Bridge she has no interest or plans to operate in Barre. She said she was merely doing her due diligence in the event she would need to drive a client to Barre.
“I drive a cab nude in St. Albans and I have signs on my car telling people I’m a nudist,” she said. “I call different places to make sure there are no ordinances. For each city, you have to have a taxi license so I wanted to get registered. What is wrong with me calling the city hall or the cops? I was only being safe.”...

**Is Naturism Healthy?**
By SlavicUncovered, Apr 18, 2026
For me, the answer is yes — but probably not in the way you’re imagining right now. Forget whatever mental image just formed, and bear with me.
Naturism, at least they way we live it (my partners and friends and I), isn’t just about wandering around without clothes on and hoping the postman doesn’t call unexpectedly. It’s part of a wider, more deliberate approach to health — physical, mental, and even philosophical. That said, let’s be honest from the start: naturism doesn’t automatically equal health for everyone. Like anything, it depends entirely on how and why you practise it. Lying naked on a sofa eating crisps and watching Netflix is, technically, naturism, i suppose — you are nude; but It is not, however, a wellness plan.
This is simply my perspective — as Asha, through SlavicUncovered — and how naturism fits into a broader, consciously healthy life.
Naturism vs Nudism — Is There Actually a Difference?
Historically, yes — though the distinction has always been a little fuzzy around the edges, much like the tan lines.
In places like the United States, the term nudism has tended to mean social nudity — being unclothed in designated spaces, clubs, or communities. The focus, culturally at least, has sometimes leaned more towards the nudity itself. Fair enough, really.
In Europe, naturism has traditionally has a slightly different feel. It’s been more tied to nature, simplicity, and a kind of back-to-basics way of living — spending time outdoors, respecting the environment, and getting closer to a more natural rhythm of life — with social nudity there too of course. Less “look, no clothes,” and more “look, no clothes, and also not chemicals in my breakfast.”
In reality today, some people use the terms interchangeably, and for plenty of folk it simply means being comfortably nude at home — cooking, relaxing, going about daily life without clothing...

**Naturalists not naturists! Cumbrian nature festival clarifies it’s a clothes-on event**
By Lucy Edwards-Rae 17/04/2026
A Cumbrian festival has clarified that it’s a clothes-on event.
Cumbria Nature Festival – a new three day event set to take place at Rivendell, in Stainburn, near Workington, from May 8 to May 10 – has confirmed it’s an event for wildlife enthusiasts and not nudists.
The festival made the clarification on social media after it received a confused online enquiry.
A spokesman said: “After a recent enquiry we need to clarify – Cumbria Nature Festival is primarily aimed at NATURALISTS…not NATURISTS.
“Whilst we aim to be as inclusive as possible, and certainly do not judge anyone, we are aiming the event at wildlife enthusiasts. Please do dress appropriately.
“And if anyone else has booked in error, please contact us immediately for a full refund.”
The event is set to feature local experts and groups ready to talk about different aspects of the natural world – with no nudism involved...

**Miami Topless & Nude Beaches: What’s Allowed**
BY Remo Cremona, April 19, 2026
Where You Can Go Topless or Nude in Miami
Topless sunbathing in Miami is legal at Haulover Beach and generally tolerated in South Beach (below 15th St). In family-centric areas like Ocean Drive, traditional swimwear is required. Photography is strictly prohibited at clothing-optional areas, and always use a towel for hygiene.
Haulover Beach: fully legal, clothing-optional
South Beach (Below 15th): topless tolerated
Ocean Drive / Mid-Beach: not allowed
The Curated Edit: Where Clothing is Optional
Miami, a sun-drenched paradise, offers more than just a quintessential beach experience. It’s a city where the vibes of freedom and body positivity thrive under its radiant skies. For those looking to embrace the sun fully, sans the constraints of swimwear, Miami beckons with open arms and clear guidelines.
Topless sunbathing is legal in certain areas like the iconic Haulover Beach, while in others, such as parts of South Beach, it’s tolerated but unofficial. However, in more family-focused areas like Ocean Drive, it’s best to stay covered.
Know before you go — our guide breaks it all down below, from etiquette tips to the best hotels near nude-friendly beaches.
Ocean Drive: Swimwear is Mandatory
The vibrant stretch along Ocean Drive, showcasing Miami’s diverse and lively beach scene, is typically not conducive to sunbathing in topless. This area is a melting pot of beachgoers, including families, day tourists, and locals, making it a place where traditional beach attire remains the norm. Furthermore, in an age where smartphones are ubiquitous, some visitors have reported concerns over privacy due to unwanted photography.
We don’t suggest it—this isn’t an area for topless sunbathing.
South Beach (Below 15th St): The Unofficial Retreat
For those looking to sunbathe in topless in a more accepting environment, the area south of 15th Street on Ocean Drive offers a welcoming retreat. This segment of South Beach is known for its more relaxed approach to beach attire, inviting sun-worshippers to enjoy the sun and sea without the constraints of swimwear tops.
