About the SCNA…

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, Palm Springs, Bakersfield and Santa Maria, although most live in and around Los Angeles and Ventura/Santa Barbara Counties. Membership is open to persons who are over age 18, singles, couples and families, 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.

But we do more than just have a lot of fun. We actively promote and encourage clothing-optional recreation and personal growth opportunities for all ages through our educational outreach programs. We are active sponsors of the annual World Naked Bike Ride in Los Angeles, raising awareness of environmental and 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.

Please take a look through the extensive information within this web site. We want you to know what we are all about and we encourage you to meet us soon!

Of course you will find within some photos of nudists enjoying their lives, but it is our policy not to take or display photos of minor children. We provide our children a safe and happy place to play. We also firmly believe that human sexuality is natural and wonderful, but its place is not at our events, or in our publications. Thank you for your understanding.
