Do you like competitive volleyball? Are you a young person looking for a great nudist club to go dancing at? Do you find the Saturday night dances a little out of your age bracket? If the answer is yes to any one of these questions, it’s time once again to head to the Cove for a great weekend of Volleyball and the official start of summer here at the Cove on Memorial Day Weekend, which this year starts on May 25th.
The weekend starts out May 25th with the return of Club Night and it will take place at 9 pm in the Lakeside Restaurant. This night will be geared more towards a younger audience and will include modern music such as club music, hip hop and modern dance music played a little louder than our usual dances. We had a lot of fun with this night last year and look forward to more of you folks coming out to experience it.
On Saturday the day starts off with the volleyball tournament for all you volleyball lovers out there. And Saturday night we have some great classic rock in store for you with The Tree Top Flyers. So, if you’re young or just young at heart, come and check out our great Memorial Day Weekend right here at Cypress Cove.

Enjoy great volleyball in a natural setting at Florida’s Most Beautiful Clothes Free Resort! The tournament features two days of Co-Ed Triples Volleyball levels B to AAA, clothing optional. We play on our 6 grass courts located on the lakefront lawn adjacent to our 50 acre private lake. There is a divisional Round Robin on Saturday, which decides seeding. On Sunday, we play a double elimination tournament for the championship!
Players and families may purchase a 4 day/3 night guest pass for just $30 per person, and children under 18 are free. The guest pass includes resort admission, tournament registration and optional tent camping on the lakefront. Tournament registration is included for guests staying in our Hotel or Campground.

The lake is as low as I have ever seen it, we are struggling to keep the grass green, and the whole state is choking on the smoke from wildfires – yes, we will be very happy to get some rain. On the other hand, these hot, dry weekends are a great time to visit Cypress Cove, enjoying a cool beverage and the company of good friends. There is more going on than ever, more music and more and different activities. Come on out and enjoy the Cove, rain or shine.
Many years ago, before we had any swimming pools, the lakefront area was the hub of daytime activity. Way back in 1980, when we completed the East Pool complex, that hub immediately shifted to the pool area. The lakefront and beach remain a natural, serene and beautiful area to relax, but the area is regularly utilized by only a small number of members and guests. With the pool decks often crowded and chairs sometimes hard to find, we would like to encourage more guests to lounge at the lakefront, where space and chairs are plentiful.
Something is obviously missing at the lakefront or there would routinely be more people there. We are trying to improve the area. New landscape timbers outline the beach so we can do a better job of preventing grass encroachment. Those of you who would like to play a little volleyball but are afraid of the hard court, take heart. Over the past few years that court has seen little play, so we have removed it. In its place is a first-class sand volleyball court. You can now dive for a ball without worrying about skinned knees or worse. We have purchased a couple of brightly colored beach umbrellas to enhance the shade near the beach. If they are well received and survive summer weather we will provide some more. What else do we need?
The lakefront and beach area is a very nice place. There is usually a cooling breeze even when it is hot and still elsewhere. You can watch ospreys daily catching fish in the lake, and bald eagles are not an uncommon sight. If you can think of anything that would encourage you to use the lakefront regularly let us know. Maybe not all ideas will be practical, but we will consider anything.
‘Til next time…
