Bone Island Bare It All Weekend III

KEY WEST, FLORIDA

November 30 – December 2, 2007

 

Key West is frequently referred to as Bone Island. There are a variety of stories explaining how that originated, but none of those are important for this weekend. A group of boosters in Key West have coordinated with local, gay-owned businesses to create another incredible weekend getaway for gay naturists, after the success of the first two in December 2006 and July 2007, respectively.

 

Below, you will find the activities for the weekend. Discounted tickets for the Saturday nude dinner were available for advance purchase, but it is sold out — waitlist requests are being accepted. (Admission will be higher at the door, subject to space opening up.)

About the host venue
Bourbon St. Pub, located at 724 Duval St., has made available its pool and garden bar area as clothing-optional and all-male, starting Friday at 11 PM and continuing until Sunday at 6 PM. The rest of the bar will be open to the public during the day, changing to nude events (clothing-optional “underwear parties”) at 10 PM until closing at 4 AM. Clothes check provided; bring only the cash you will need.

 

There is a limited amount of lodging on site at New Orleans House. For room reservations, call (888) 293-9893 or (305) 293-9800. If it fills up, referrals to other guesthouses will be offered. For further help with accommodations and local attractions, consult The Naked Concierge.

 

Key West is a very casual town, and even when you’re in an area open to the public, something as simple as a sarong or bathing suit is considered completely appropriate. Even for walking around town, to and from events, the dress code is very liberal. If you have never visited Key West, know that it is a very relaxed community with a live-and-let-live attitude.
