Caribbean Breezes Blow Cold in Missouri

Nudist resort proposed, opposed

ST. LOUIS: The developer of a planned nudist colony near St. Louis may feel its members would barely be seen from outside but opponents don't seem keen on such exposure.

"After we're done developing, it will look the same from the road and surrounding properties as it does now," Larry Schulz, developer of the clothing-optional Caribbean Breezes resort, told county officials. The facility, if approved, would be built southwest of Lonedell, Mo., reports The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Those against the project say they oppose it on moral grounds and feel the colony will damage property values. "We don't want our kids exposed to it," said a pastor who lives nearby.

Plans for the 52-acre Caribbean Breezes call for year-round facilities with a large clubhouse, an outdoor pool and an indoor pool and a hot tub. Schulz says the resort would have its own sewer system and well. A decision by the county planning and zoning board is pending.
