At most all C/O beaches, sections where people are clothed and others where people are naked form by themselves. As one good post said, it may not be comfortable to be naked among dressed people as the reverse is also true.

Personally I am amused at the politically correct term Clothing Optional, it somehow contradicts a lot that has been said before on this post where it seems that on a C/O beach everybody MUST be naked.

Yep, Nude Beach is not to be confused with Clothing Optional. I consider the nude section of Hedonism the former and thankfully so. Keeps gawkers out for the most part. When I see clothed folks walking on Club Orient I find it amusing 1) that they are usually more embarrassed than they naked folks, and 2) on the way back the they usually have some degree less clothing than they did then they walked by the first time.

How about creating a new term, Nudity Optional?

Nudity Optional would apply to a place or society where nudity is the rule and clothes are not normally admitted.

Enough. Most people know what clothing optional is and what mandatory nude is, and that Club O is clothing optional. You would argue about whether the moon is full or not..
