Brazil’s nude beaches are being defended beach by beach

Kentucky has no legal nude spaces. One group is trying to make one.

A Kentucky naturist group is attempting to establish an informal nude recreation area at Doe Run Lake Park, despite explicit warnings from county officials that nudity there could lead to arrest. The effort highlights the near-total absence of legal naturist spaces in Kentucky and raises broader questions about how clothing-optional areas emerge, gain recognition, or collide with local law and public opinion.

Brazil’s nude beaches are being defended beach by beach

Two naturist beaches in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state are moving in opposite legal directions, highlighting a broader struggle over how nonsexual nudity is treated under the law. While Praia do Pinho faces renewed enforcement following the lapse of court protections, Praia da Galheta has secured a ruling shielding naturists from arrest. Together, the cases illustrate how local advocacy and legal strategy are shaping the future of naturism along the same coastline. More at www dot planetnude dot co. This is a public episode.

Judge confirms topfreedom is legal at Denny Blaine

A judge in Seattle has clarified what the law already suggested: toplessness is permitted throughout Denny Blaine Park, even in areas marked “clothing required.” The ruling follows a motion filed in response to private security confronting parkgoers and invoking a court order that didn’t say what they claimed it did. This episode looks at what the decision settles, what it doesn’t, and how a single phrase on a sign became the center of a much larger fight over public space. More at www dot planetnude dot co.

Makena State Park changes could tighten access to Little Beach

A permit hearing on Maui could reshape access to Mākena State Park, and with it, the fragile future of Little Beach. The proposed improvements do not directly target the beach’s long-running clothing-optional culture, but parking changes, managed entry, and tighter oversight could alter the informal conditions that have allowed it to survive for decades. This episode looks at how public access fights can become naturist access fights, even when nobody says “nudity” out loud. More at www dot planetnude dot co. This is a public episode.

Ohio bill would redefine indecency by targeting the female breast

A bill that once raised abstract concerns has now taken a more concrete shape. In Ohio, House Bill 249 moves forward with language that defines indecency not through context, but through anatomy—naming specific parts of the body as legally restricted. This episode looks at how that shift changes the stakes, what it means for topless equality and naturist spaces, and why the next stage in the Senate may be the last chance to draw a clearer line.
