Naturist can make a sport out of almost any activity. While most of the sports/activities are intended to promote health and well-being, some go a bit further in that they provide support for the local community. Naturists participate in many of the sports/activities that you might find on any beach or at any recreational club. These may include less vigorous activities such as sowing circles, cards, book clubs, pot luck dinners, yoga, or board games. Of course, the idea is to create the opportunity for social engagement and relaxation. In addition to these activities, there are opportunity to work up a sweat. These might include: volley ball (sand, hard court or water), tennis, pickle ball, bocce ball, bicycling and 5k run/walk events. These may be organized and competitive or just for fun.

Most importantly you are not expected to participate in any sport. If you want to simply lay around the pool, soak up the sun, read or simply chat with friends (new and old), we probably consider that to be a sport, as well. Just enjoy!
