The modern nudist movement began in the early 20th century in Europe, where it was seen as a way to promote a healthier and more natural lifestyle. The first nudist colony was established in Germany in 1894, and soon, similar colonies began to spring up across Europe. The movement gained popularity in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, with the establishment of the first American nudist colony in 1933.

Nudism and naturism can be liberating and fun for those who are interested. Like any social activity, there are guidelines and etiquette to follow to ensure everyone has a good experience.
