Etiquette Tips for First-Time Visitors
Venturing into the world of clothing-optional resorts? Here are a few friendly reminders:
- Know Before You Go: Each resort has different rules. Some allow full nudity everywhere; others limit it to designated zones.
- Carry a Towel (Seriously): Always bring one to sit on—it’s respectful and hygienic.
- Don’t Be Creepy: No gawking, no unsolicited photos, and keep your phone put away unless it’s selfie time (solo).
- Consent is Everything: Whether it’s conversation or connection, mutual respect is key.
Whether you’re seeking peace, pleasure, or just a great tan, the Caribbean offers something for every kind of free spirit. So go ahead—ditch the swimsuit, not the standards.
