Southern California Naturist Association

SCNA is a clothing-optional “travel club,” which means we are a social organization of nudists and like-minded friends with no specific park or resort to call home. We meet in the backyards of members with swimming pools or Jacuzzis, or we go sailing off the coast, or we hike on secluded mountain trails, or visit local beaches where we can enjoy the surf and sand as nature intended. We also participate in many activities at the various nudist resorts in our fair state.

We are the largest nudist travel club in Southern California with participating members from as far as San Diego to Seattle, Bakersfield to Texas; although most live in and around Los Angeles and Ventura/Santa Barbara Counties. Membership is open to families, couples and singles who are over the age of 18, including same-sex partners. All must undergo an application screening process and all agree to abide by our behavior policies at our events and activities.

In addition to local nude 5K’s, nude yoga classes and theatrical events, we are active sponsors of the World Naked Bike Ride in Los Angeles, raising awareness of environmental safety issues while demonstrating the harmlessness of the unclothed body. Through our speakers bureau, our publications, and our web site, we strive to create and provide access to clothing-optional environments where the human body is celebrated, where human sensuality is accepted, and where personal choice is respected.
