Lee Baxandall's World Guide to Nude Beaches & Resorts: ... (ISBN 0934106215)

The Best Guide to Clothing-Optional Recreation in English:
The latest edition of the "World Guide" is better than ever. I've purchased most of the other guides for clothing-optional recreation available in English, and the "World Guide" covers many more nude hot springs, free beaches, and nudist clubs than anything else in print. I've been to most of the places in the Pacific Northwest that the guide talks about, and so far the directions and descriptions have been accurate and up to date. I take xeroxed copies of relevant pages with me as my wife and I travel from state to state, and from country to country. The photography is also fantastic. The publisher is not ashamed of using complete nudity, but it is not at all "racy." I've shown this book to my friends to help explain what naturism is all about.

not very accurate:
unfortunately it is not very accurate. Of cource I havent tried every place in the book there are hundreds but it leaves out some very important facts like it is true that there is a nude area in Manuel Antonio park in costa rica but the book forgets to tell you that it is gay! Be very careful about the info on California thought it is very good at getting you there it is not accurate on what gos on there. An expensive book that just has not been very useful to me.

Just plain wrong:
Every spot that the book reccomended that I visited (Kauai, West Indies) were no longer clothing optional or not friendly. A waste of money.

Le Plus Mieux:
The best of the best of the best. Accurate, diverse, brilliant photography. A classis without peer.

For what it is worth:
It's true you have to double check the info -- but he tells you that several times -- every one know that goes double outside the US -- but it is a very good resource and starter guide for those new to this -- as long as you remember that things are always changing out there -- this is diffently a good place to start
