Summary
In 1932, a New York nudist collective bought an island off the South Carolina coast and founded a naturist living community and resort, named the Sea Island Sanctuary. The community faced threats and speculation from the local community, and was ultimately closed after a short period of time due to lack of financial support, with the owners being accused of being members of the Communist Party.
