Bone Island Bare It All Weekend VII

KEY WEST, FLORIDA

December 3-6, 2009

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. Some boosters in Key West are coordinating with local, gay-owned businesses to create another incredible weekend getaway for gay naturists, following the continued success of these semi-annual events, which started in December 2006.

Below, you will find a listing of activities for the weekend. For a general idea of what some of them are like, see photos (Albums 1 & 2 | Album 3) from previous events.

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 for the weekend. The rest of the bar will be open to the public during the day, changing to a nude event (or clothing-optional “underwear party”) on Saturday 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.
