It's gone no nude. No comment, but it doesn't bother me
I'm really disappointed. The clothing optional beach was the one thing Firefly had going for it. There are far better choices now.
The place has changed a lot! they have expanded the bar and now offer food as well as drinks , some rooms have been refurbished, new linens etc, most of the staff that were there for years has moved on and mainly they are no longer clothing optional .Quote:

They do still offer c/o at Point village, although the beach there is not very nice compared to the beauty of the spot at Firefly...

Booger, it seems I rarely agree with you but on this I am in complete agreement. There just aren't that many people I want to see naked or be naked around. And certainly not in the middle of a public beach. If you want to hang out with your thang out you're free to do so but that doesn't trump my freedom to not have to see it.
it's a shame Ras that we rarely agree. We are more aligned than you might expect. Respect sirQuote:

I can't really imagine why it would bother anyone. People's attitudes toward nudity really just mystify me. All I can surmise is that it must have roots in Puritanism.
But I have to do a double take at the assertion that you should have the freedom not to have to see it. The freedom is which you speak is the freedom to have others comport to your desires. Which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with freedom.
Should my freedom not to read or hear opinions I don't agree with trump those with opinions to share? I think not. Avert thine eyes if a naked body part threatens you so. Lol.
I am neither threatened or offended by nudity. I have spent plenty of time naked and outdoors in Negril, in the privacy of my balcony. I've even gone skinny dipping at night. In fact I'm naked under my clothes right now;). With many other options, other than being smack dab in the middle of a public beach, it makes me wonder if it is less about the pleasures of being a naturist and more about exhibitionism.
ya mon i agree with you, soon comeQuote:

1. firefly offered secrets cabins at 60usd per night, or firefly apartments around 120 per night, other options in Negril are: PV, Couples, Sandals or Hedo or Grand Lido =mostly all AI's, and all A LOT more expensive than firefly.
2. The beach at Point village/Hedo/Sandals TOTALLY SUCKS! Firefly's bit of the beach, is as you say very central, but its damn paradise!
3. cheap beer (which never hurts hehe)
I guess no one has stayed at Firefly since they have renovated it?? I am interested in the rooms and property. :)
as I said in my first post on this thread, before the naturism bashing began, they have indeed improved things, new bar (much bigger) that also serves food now, rooms have had a facelift, new linens etcQuote:

hope this helps :)
What I dont understand is why the old fat men had to pull their loungers right up to the edge where everybody has to walk. Not a very pretty sight. Actually downright scary and very disturbing.
I know I'd need to get a whole lot more attractive before I'd have the audacity to criticize anyone else's appearance.
Thank you! :)Quote:

Glad you mentioned this Tantastic. I have been looking for a way back into this discussion as I might have come across as prude. Frankly, that could not be further from the truth. However, Firefly smack dab in the middle of Long Bay is odd to me. Take your nakedness to areas that are well accepted. Just responding from walking by with a 7 and 10 year old who has been raised quite openly.
LOL. That's the truth.... SwaggerQuote:

I used to sneak over with snorkel gear and look at the boobs.
who's smarter than a 7th grader?Quote:

Before they built the Beaches resort, that land was undeveloped.
It was a favorite spot for nudism.
We used to call it "buff in rough". :cool:
I'm no prude - if it's hot and taut, flaunt it! I don't care to see flabby and hairy people nude however, just my personal preference.
