We extend our gratitude to everyone for their dedication to maintaining their lots, and we hope this contest will inspire continued pride in homes and landscapes throughout the year.
Visitors are encouraged to take a leisurely stroll through the resort to admire the stunning landscapes that our residents have diligently cultivated, but please don't enter these lots.
ANRL Seeks Volunteers
As our snowbird volunteers start to head north, the American Nudist Research Library could use some summertime (or year-round) help.
How would you like to:
● Run the library for three hours, one afternoon each week?
If you want to set your own hours, we could use local volunteers to:
● Scan our Who's Who files of famous nudists.
● Organize our legal files.
● Serve as membership chairman.
Other interesting tasks could be accomplished from anywhere in the world:
● Take over as webmaster.
● Arrange for free electronic copies of foreign magazines.
● Make our catalog spreadsheets searchable online.
● Supervise quality control of our magazine scans.
Volunteering at the library can be a fulfilling experience. If any of these possibilities sound intriguing, pop into the library any Tuesday afternoon, or send your interests and qualifications to paullevalley@peoplepc.com.

Have You Seen Us Lately?
"You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been" -Maya Angelou
For many, many years every parade was led by Scotty. He was also the piper at Church Street Station and many other events in the Orlando area.
Our golf cart parades were legendary.
In the early 2000s, Cypress Cove had a square dancing club. This was their float in one of the parades.
For many years, the Poinciana Fire Department provided Santa with a magical sled for the parade.
People have arrived at the cove in some interesting ways. Seaplanes and hot air balloons have been the most unique.
We had members who were part of the Renasant Fairs, and they put on a fun day at the beachfront.
After the Cove put in the gym in 2000, we had a body-building contest.
The beginning of the pétanque club. It was just a sandy spot and a circle to stand in while throwing.
Late 90s at the original Cheeks Bar.
In 1988, the villas were started. The beginnings of Cypress Cove becoming a world-class destination resort.
In 2004, after 3 hurricanes. a new, beautiful brick wall was installed.
