does anyone know of any nudist or clothing optional marinas along the Mississippi

[Us Two]

My wife and I have been nudists for 25 years and we are wondering if anyone knows if their are any boat accessible resorts on the Mississippi River.

I thought I read Mississauga nope but Toronto does. It’s called Hanlans Point. Pictured is Muggs Channel facing north. Straight through the trees is a clothing optional beach. I’m sure it’s shocked a few tourists

In MN/WI/IA, there are precious few boat accessible resorts on the Mississippi at all. North of the Iowa border, Treasure Island casino (textile) is the only one I can think of that has lodging and its own access to the water. There are a number of campgrounds with beaches, also textile. There are a number of remote beaches with no road access where sunbathing with discretion is possible.

A confluence of public policy has led to the Mississippi being underdeveloped as a recreational resources.


Best wishes for your search.

The mighty Mississippi river is 2,320 miles long.

Perhaps one could narrow the stretch of beaches that one is inquiring about so as to obtain local knowledge.

I’d definitely pick Magnolia Grove cause if someone says fiv dolla at the Vietnamese one I’m going to flash back which is fubar.
I wear boxers and a tux once in awhile sailing. We suffer a similar issue and need an app for folks mocking royal tradition so we can connect world wide.

Welcome to the forum to the Two of You. And what a fantastic question. Heaps of sailors are clothes free out on passages (well in the tropics at least). And I can confirm size does matter at 40 degrees South.


I'd always thought that for a significant majority of Sailing Cruisers, and certainly I've picked up over the years the sentiment of members here, that the whole 'live free in nature' is a life style we mostly choose, encourage and support.

WOW, it has been a busy week, so I (and we) have not had a chance to get back on the forum, but it looks like the subject of nudity has gotten more attention than the actual subject of the thread. Although, thanks to those who have given some suggestions and my husband, and I will check them out.
Sorry to those who were offended by the unexpected nudity, and I can see your point about the "job" environment. These days 75% of the people are offended by something and we don't want anyone losing their job because of a postage size picture of nudity.
Anyway, I am on the last night of a sales trip and my client is picking me up shortly for a business dinner and i hope to close a nice deal. Maybe I will check in later when I get back. Have a great night everyone.
PS I just sent a text to my husband back at home and told him to check out the thread comments.

I’ve not cruised the Mississippi so can’t help, except to say you may be better off to look on nudist forums that focus on waterfront. As you know, it’s not mainstream so most people don’t even know there’s a nudist resort if it’s five miles away. You might call resorts and ask what their waterfront is like.

Or come up to Lake Ontario in early August. 50/50 you’ll still be wearing fleece.

good morning, everyone.
Sorry I didn't check in last night. It got pretty late before I got back to the room.

Hi everyone and long time / no talk to.
a little update...my husband and I decided to go in a different direction, and we ended up purchasing our own nudist campground and as of a couple of weeks ago, all 50 of our seasonal campsites are full. We hope everyone is doing well and happy to show you how we get to go to work every day.

Great to hear that you’ve started a new venture and it’s already showing success. There are a lot more land-based nudists/naturists than on boats so your market is probably good for your niche business.

We are definitely naturists on our boat and ashore, but cover up when public is around and we’re not in a designated area for public nudity. As we’re now in SE Asia, I expect nowhere will welcome us if we’re not on our own.

Hi guys,
I always thought the boat itself was a nudist colony, with clothes donned when approaching an anchorage. why so many people have an issue or take offence with social (not sexual) nudity is probably a confused adam and eve thing.
it's aways interesting as 'an outsider' ie a non usa person on this forum; to watch what triggers 'your' culture. not a big [ick on, most cultures have quirks.
an aussie comedian, Jim Jeffries, put it well .... in many states in the the usa, prostitution is illegal, unless someone is filming it and promises to put it on the internet, then its protected first amendment art, so an 18 yo girl cant have sex for money with a man in a hotel room but she can be filmed having sex with 12 men and its ok BUT she is not old enough to have a drink afterwards.

Can't help with the Mississippi River, but if you ever get to Tasmania I can point you in the right direction. Kinda found it by accident.
