Not another nude beach?! Yes! Because whilst I was looking at Skinny Dip Inn, I was introduced to this awesome place by a fellow Second Life resident. The first thing that struck me about Solana Nude Beach is that it is significantly smaller than Skinny Dip Inn but just as beautifully created, almost like a real beach with white sand. However my arrival there was quite a big boo-boo.

As I thought it was just like Skinny Dip Inn, Nude Beach would mean naked. You know, total nudity but I quickly discovered no one was naked at all. So reverted to a more modest swimwear because even as an avatar I do not feel comfortable if I am the odd one rather than the one conforming with the majority.

What is interesting about Solana Nude Beach is that the first time I was transported there, I materialised in a wooden ship right around the time the sun was still high on the sky althout not much later I realised it was slowly setting, so the place was a bit yellow, a bit dark and very atmospheric.

It was also before Christmas so you could see decorations everywhere, from Christmas tree and a Santa Clause where I could sit on his lap.

The layout of the place is almost the same as Skinny Dip Inn. There’s a dance floor right at the entrance and the beach on the left. Further up some waterfall and some private area for some privacy for couples. Yes, since it is a nude beach it is also an adult place where most of the activities are meant for couples. But unlike Skinny Dip Inn it is not that in your face although the activities can be quite public as well.

SDI : Skinny Dip Inn & Nude Beach Resort [First visit]

This is my very first article about the best places to visit in Second Life and what would be an appropriate post I thought if not one which is about a nude beach. A warning first; there are nudity in the pictures you’re about to see but lucky for you (if you hate nudity) and me (although an avatar, she does represent me), I have pasted some strategically placed black bar over certain areas of my avatar. Yes she is anatomically correct but if you really must know, you have to get into Second Life to see for yourself. That is look at your own naked self.

Why a nude beach? One of the selling points of Second Life for me is the sight and the sound. These days I could hardly sleep without the sound of waves playing on my stereo speaker and since I don’t live near a beach nor do I own a beach house, Second Life is as close as to being in one. And I must admit, nude beach does mean your avatar must be nude or at least wearing a swimsuit, this place I am going to introduce to you wrote in big red letters at the entrance to the beach that nudity is a must. So what more can a law abiding citizen such as I to do? More so when my avatar does have a killer body but modestly endowed, so with one click and she is off with all clothes except for some jewelery and a pair of golden slippers.  Second Life gives the freedom to do things normally in real life I would never dare nor dream to do, and walking around totally naked and unhibited is one of those things.

Now this is an adult content area therefore beware of those who solicits you for activities other than beach related good clean fun.

Anyway, once you get there, you will teleport and materialise in a hut where you will find free trunks and bikinis for those who are not accustomed to nudity. The qualities are quite good too. But in that hut also you will notice several notices, amongst which the rule of the beach is total nudity or swimsuit related.

However once you step out of the hut, you will notice yes most avatars are naked or skimpily dressed but there are those fully clothed. I decided to follow the rule and so I stripped my avatar of clothes and my god, it was liberating. Moreover nobody cares if you’re thin naked or fat naked. And it doesn’t hurt to show off my avatar’s toned body.

Anyway in front of the hut I found a huge dance floor for various dances, tango, slow dance, etc. It looks a bit hectic at first but it’s quite fun when you see others dancing away in their thongs. That didn’t interest me when I heard the waves.

The beach is located to the left of the hut. It’s not big but there are adequate sits for single persons relaxing or sunbathing. But I also found couple’s sits as well as floating floats where you can read, lounge as a couple or even daydream by lying lazily on the sides, your hands gently dipping into the sea. There are even fishes in the sea, although not much. The waves are calming and I just love the tranquility of the surroundings, especially the many activities for singles and couples. What I did notice first was the white sandy beaches. The texture, the effects all looked so real, like as if I have stepped onto a real beach.

What I didn’t realise was how big this place was. Read the rest of this entry »
