  Maybe nudity is tolerated, so far, by the locals, who want the money coming from foreign surfers. But I'd be careful about promoting an island in the most conservative part of a Muslim country as a nudist vacation destination.

  This is the first time I've heard of nude beaches in Indonesia -- and in Sumatra, no less! No hassles with the authorities?

  I am managing a Group Trip to Hedonism II in Negril from June 18-26, 2011 (or any days in-between).

   

  This will be our 5th Annual Group Trip & Reunion-Rendezvous at the Caribbean's wildest all-inclusive and beachfront resort. I also have trip reports and photos from previous adventures at Hedonism III in Runaway Bay (now re-worked into a family resort leaving Hedo II the lone Jamaican adult-fun resort),

   

  My Groups are open to all those that love sun, fun, and costumed dress-up time at open-minded resorts and venues like Hedo.

   

  More details available via my sites.

  Just joined, and I see this group's been under covers. Like your mention of the naked bike ride, David. Few years ago I attended one on West Coast. Thousands of participants. Don't expect to see that in Boston.

  Good heavens, is it that time of year again? The 32nd annual Nude Recreation Week is already upon us. Was reminded of this by TripAdvisor, which compiled a peek at 5 top nude events, as reported by Reuters:
  
  1. World Naked Bike Ride, Worldwide — June and July
  Each year since 2004, bike riders have joined to celebrate cycling and protest a culture where cars are king. This year, in 20 countries around the world, participants advocated freedom from oil and fabric. Nude cyclists bared their bodies with messages painted on their backs, fronts and rears. One TripAdvisor traveler advises: "Remember the sunscreen ... and those saddles will be hot, hot, hot, so cover them up before alighting, people!"
  
  2. AANR World Record Skinny Dip, Across North America — July
  Put more than 12,000 people shoulder deep in pools across North America without a stitch of clothing in sight, and what do you get? The "largest number of people skinny dipping at once," now a category in the Guinness Book of World Records due to the American Association for Nude Recreation.
  
  3. Nude Beach Olympics, Maslin Beach, Australia — January
  Taking place on Australia's sunny Maslin Beach in South Australia, the games are a celebration of Maslin's status as first official nude beach in the country.
  
  4. Running of the Nudes, Pamplona, Spain — July
  PETA's "Running of the Nudes" protests the cruelty of bullfighting with participants choosing to show a little skin in hopes that one day Pamplona's bulls won't have to. The runners don plastic bull horns, red scarves, and little else, to run the half-mile Pamplona course.
  
  5. Black Rock Desert, Nevada — August-September
  The annual Burning Man project is a self-proclaimed haven of self-expression, creativity and community. Drawing 50,000 people to the Black Rock Desert in 2008, huge works of art are generated at the event, namely the "Man," which is burned on the final night as part of the process of restoring the area to its natural state, with no trace of the revelers. Participants often take advantage of the free-spirited attitude by getting nude.
