Cove News
Blessings of the Cove
As we round the bend capping off yet another year, we are about to enter a season of gratitude and giving. It is in this spirit that Cypress Cove would like to re-introduce a Holiday countdown of sorts, affectionately dubbed “Blessings of The Cove”— a period of supporting those in our nudist family who have the greatest need in consideration of trying times.
Through the end of the year, we are inviting Cypress Cove residents and members to write to us and tell us of your need. What do you think would help you most during this difficult time? Each week, we will choose a letter and will respond with assistance and support. You can either drop off a letter to the Main Office, care of Peter Sewall or email Peter at CoveBlessings@cypresscoveresort.com.
Cypress Cove has enjoyed a long history of community support both participating in and spearheading, various events ranging in size and reach. It is the members of our naturist community that have enabled growth and success through the years. As such, we thought it was important to finish the year with full focus on this community—those of you “inside the gate.” It can be hard to ask for help, but please let us know if you have an exceptional need. It is our goal to make your holiday season a little bit brighter.
We already know that the Cypress Cove nudist community has a big heart and a philanthropic spirit, so we’d encourage those of you who are not in need to lend support to your friends and neighbors during this time. If you'd like to help us expand our efforts, you may do so at this link; simply select Blessings of The Cove Donation. We want “Blessings of The Cove” to spill over into all corners of our amazing community.
With thanks and gratitude,
Peter Sewall
General Manager
Blessing of the Cove Nomination & Recipient
During the weekend, we were fortunate to receive an email that resonated with the values of Cypress Cove. The sentiments shared, again, aligned seamlessly with our community spirit. To our community members, we extend a sincere invitation — if you know of someone within our Cypress Cove family who could use a little extra support, we encourage you warmly to nominate them for consideration. Your active involvement in this initiative is key to the compassion that defines our community at Cypress Cove.
Dear Peter Sewall,
As a concerned and caring neighbor within our Cypress Cove community, I am writing to you with a nomination for a fellow resident who could greatly benefit from the Blessings of The Cove initiative.
Our neighbor, a middle-aged individual of Cypress Cove, was diagnosed with an advanced form of brain cancer in March of 2021. This sudden and challenging diagnosis has significantly altered their lives. Despite being consistently healthy and active, this member now finds themselves facing the complexities of ongoing treatments at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.
In an effort to ensure the best possible care for their loved one, this dedicated member and their spouse have been staying in Jacksonville for one week per month for treatments. To manage the increased financial burden and unforeseen expenses associated with this situation, the spouse has taken on full-time employment.
It is clear that this family is navigating uncharted waters, and their resilience is truly admirable. However, the toll of medical treatments, travel, and adjustments to their daily lives has been considerable. Therefore, I would like to nominate this member for the Blessings of The Cove program, as I believe the additional support and assistance provided by our community would make a meaningful impact during this challenging time.
I appreciate your consideration of this nomination and the positive impact that Blessings of The Cove can have on the lives of our fellow community members.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- A Concerned Neighbor
Dear Concerned Neighbor,
After careful consideration, we have chosen this deserving member for the Blessings of The Cove initiative this week.
The strength and resilience displayed by this individual and their family in the face of a challenging diagnosis are truly commendable. To offer our support, we will be providing gasoline gift cards to ease the burden of travel to and from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for crucial treatments. Additionally, we understand the financial strain of eating out during their stays, and we will be offering gift cards to various restaurants to alleviate this burden.
Your compassionate nominations and active participation in this program contribute to the strength of our Cypress Cove family. Thank you for embodying the true spirit of community.
Warm regards,
Peter Sewall
General Manager

Embracing the Digital Sun: Virtual Nudism Unveils Online Communities and Events
In the ever-evolving landscape of social interactions, the nudist community has found a new way to bask in the freedom of self-expression: virtual nudism. As we navigate through the digital age, the concept of enjoying nudist activities online has gained popularity, providing a unique avenue for nudists to connect and commune when they can't be physically present at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort.
Online Nudist Communities: A Digital Haven
The rise of online nudist communities has created a digital haven for enthusiasts to share experiences, thoughts, and engage in discussions about nudism. Platforms like TrueNudists, Naked Wanderings, Nude Revolution, and various social media groups offer a virtual space where members can connect with like-minded individuals from the comfort of their homes. These communities serve as an extension of the Cypress Cove spirit, fostering a sense of belonging even when miles apart.
Virtual Events: Nudism in the Digital Realm
While nothing can quite replace the feeling of the warm Florida sun on your skin at Cypress Cove, virtual events bring the nudist experience into the digital realm. Online gatherings, workshops, and activities hosted by nudist organizations create an opportunity for participants to engage in shared interests. From virtual yoga sessions to online art classes, these events allow nudists to embrace their lifestyle and build connections with others who share their passion.
Navigating Online Etiquette: Respectful Nudist Engagement
In the world of virtual nudism, respecting the boundaries and comfort levels of others is paramount. Online platforms provide an excellent space for open conversations, but it's essential to maintain the same level of respect and etiquette as in-person nudist environments. Be mindful of privacy, consent, and community guidelines to ensure a positive online nudist experience.
Balancing the Digital and Physical: A Nudist Lifestyle Fusion
Virtual nudism doesn't replace the essence of Cypress Cove Nudist Resort, but it complements and enhances the nudist lifestyle. Embracing the digital sun allows nudists to stay connected, share experiences, and cultivate a sense of community when physical presence is not possible like around the holidays when we have other obligations. It's a fusion of the physical and digital realms, enriching the overall nudist experience.
In conclusion, as technology continues to redefine our lives, nudists have discovered innovative ways to maintain their lifestyle and sense of community. Virtual nudism opens doors to new opportunities for connection, self-expression, and shared experiences, providing a vibrant and accessible extension to the warmth and camaraderie found at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort. So, whether you're physically at the resort or virtually engaged, the spirit of nudism shines on, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the global nudist community.
