We look forward to a summer of naturist events, including World Naked Gardening Day, our 2024 festivals guide and even naked sports.

And what’s it really like when you partner isn’t a naturist? Helen Berriman – now very much a convert to the lifestyle – tells her husband Simon’s side of the story.

Nick and Lins go naturist time travelling, while closer to home Anna and Steve of A Naturist World sing the praises of Cornwall’s beaches.

Chris Moore says the freedom of naturism in New Zealand is a breath of fresh air, Slovakian photographer Peter Juhás explains what inspires his work, and Rick Morley looks at the changes in photographic technology.

Our special destination report this month focuses on Spain – Stuart Hooper gives Gran Canaria’s famous naturist beach, Maspalomas, a second chance, while Dariusz Boron bares all in Benidorm on a ‘secret beach’ away from the swimsuit-wearing hordes.

Plus: it’s time for the annual Naturist Travel Awards – which venue, event or beach gets your vote?
