Back by popular demand, Tampa Bay Bears would like to welcome you to our fourth annual Bears in the Buff event. 

If you have not been to Playalinda, it's a clothing optional beach on the East Coast of Florida near the Kennedy Space Center and is always a fun time! Last year we had over 300 nude bears and admirers enjoying a day at the beach from all over the Florida area and beyond. 

This year's event is set up to be bigger and better than last year!

PLEASE NOTE: You are only selecting a T-shirt size with your run pass. 1 run shirt person. The lunch option is only for the beach run pass, and should only be selected for your run pass. 

For Bears in the Buff 2024 we bought out the hotel completely. Friday and Saturday is exclusevly for the Bears ! Attendees will enjoy entertainment, DJ's, dance parties, pool parties, and Naked Bingo and other fun things to do! Want to start the fun earlier? We will have rooms reserved at our special rate for the Thursday evening as well for those of you who want to start the fun a bit earlier!

Hotel Reservations:

Once you purchase your run package for Bears in the Buff, you will be emailed a registration link. Once you receive the link, you will call the hotel directly and book your room. Room rates are $136.00 per night plus taxes and applicable fees which includes complimentary breakfast buffet. 

There is no charge for parking.  A two-night non-refundable deposit will be required at the time of booking.  If you want to add the Thursday night to your reservation, please let them know at the time of your booking. Check out time with the hotel is 11:00 AM.

 

Reservations must be made by August 26, 2024. You can book now and cancel your hotel reservation up to September 24, 2024 for a full refund.

*Transportation to and from the beach is included in Package 1...but if you choose to drive yourself...

Playalinda parking will fill up quickly so it is best to leave early and get a spot in Lot 13 next to the clothing optional area. Playalinda charges a rate of $20 per car for entry so it is best to carpool from the hotel to the beach when possible. Plan to depart by 6:15am to secure a good parking space or you could get stuck parking far away.
