Business Monday: Take a walk au Naturel at Hawaiian Naturism Park

Like everyone on earth, Joe Clingman said he was born a nudist, adding it’s not until people are taught to stay covered – in most situations – that they do.
It wasn’t until his late 30s that Clingman explored naturism – non-sexual public nudity in a social environment.
“My only regret is not trying it sooner,” he said.
Clingman now brings the naturism experience to the Big Island through Hawaiian Naturist Park, a nude bed and breakfast located in Fern Forest, just outside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. He said his resort has welcomed the naturalist community to Hawai‘i Island since 2021, including families, couples and singles from all walks of life, ethnicities and sexual orientation.

Driving up to the naturalist retreat the long, unpaved, gravel windy road leads to locked gates. There, the caretakers greet guests, show them around the grounds and escort them to their lodgings.
Comprised of three 100-square-foot bungalows – made from locally harvested bamboo that was weathered, burned and blessed by the builders – the secluded property boasts of peaceful, quiet and serene days for floating in the pool, hot tub or lounging by the fireplace...
