nudists
Bare-body enthusiasts
Nudists are people who practice social nudity, typically at designated beaches, resorts, or camps.
The term implies a lifestyle philosophy that views nonsexual nakedness as natural and healthy: The nudist colony welcomed new members.
Nudist and naturist overlap considerably, though naturist sometimes carries more emphasis on connection with nature.
