South Florida Free Beaches / Florida Naturist Association (SFFB/FNA) and B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation Institute invited the public to celebrate with us on Haulover Beach in Miami the 25th anniversary of Haulover's clothing-optional section on the weekend of July 9-10, 2016.
(In case of bad weather, the backup dates were the following weekend, July 16-17, but the weather turned out to be sunny and dry on the original dates.)
The celebration included:
Activities and entertainment. Including live DJs, serving of anniversary cake and lemonade, games, and drum circle (Sat., 6-8 p.m.).

Recognition of naturist clubs and other entities. Naturist clubs and entities such as nudist resorts and other businesses from all over the United States and Canada were invited to attend as a group and fly their banners in a show of naturist unity and diversity. This was targeted for Saturday, July 9, but groups had the option of doing it on Sunday as well.
Naturist expo. Naturist clubs, resorts, and other businesses had an option to rent space for a very limited number of exhibitor booths. See below for those participants and click on their logos for more info about them. Please patronize our partners, boosters, and sponsors, and tell them you found out about them here!
Select food and merchandise vendors were lined up, and B.E.A.C.H.E.S. offered merchandise such as T-shirts, beach towels, and sarongs for set donations. Vendors were welcome to reserve space on line, but had to do so by June 30.
Coming from out of town? We arranged for special rates at area hotels. See the table at right for suggested lodgings, listed in descending order of proximity to Haulover Beach parking. We advised visitors to say they were coming for the Haulover Beach 25th anniversary event. Visitors should always cite Haulover Beach as their draw to the area.
Food trucks: Check out the fine foods that were served. Please patronize them and tell them you found out about them here!
