Sunsport Gardens

A family nudist club west of West Palm Beach, operating for more than 50 years, where clothing is not optional. Cabins, rooms, trailers and campsites rather than a hotel.

Sunsport Gardens suits nudists and families who want a simple, sociable club with sports and camping, and who are comfortable that nudity is the norm. It does not suit travelers expecting hotel comforts or a clothing-optional halfway house.

What sets it apart

Its AANR listing is unambiguous: “Clothing is NOT optional at Sun Sport Gardens.” The club’s own site calls it a family naturist resort for clothes-free recreation, and the listing says it welcomes nudists of all ages, genders and sexual identities, and disabled visitors.

Facilities are those of a long-running club: a pool, hiking trails, tennis, pétanque, volleyball and water volleyball, and a restaurant. The calendar includes a week-long family youth camp each July, quarterly weekends for young adults, and a mid-winter naturist festival, which ran February 12–17 in 2026.

Staying and visiting

Overnight options are cabins, rooms and trailers for rent, plus campsites for RVs, trailers and tents. Day visitors are accepted 365 days a year. First-time visitors show a valid photo ID at the office. Neither the club’s site nor its AANR listing publishes fees, so call ahead at (561) 793-0423.
