Best Nude Beaches

Going along with my previous post on the rising nude travel trend, the next logical question is "where are the nude beaches?" since it seems like a natural combination - beach and bare buns. (Unless, of course, the subject makes you uncomfortable as hell and you'd rather go to your happy place and pretend you aren't intrigued. Understandable.)

The Travel Channel has compiled a list of what they call the best beaches for naturalists. Have a look. Then walk, don't run, to plan a trip with friends (even family), if you dare to go bare.

  1. Centre Helio Montalivet in Bordeaux, France
    Best for purists
  2. Couples Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica
    Best for couples or groups of couples new to going nude
  3. Wreck Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia
    Best for young adults
  4. Samurai Beach in Port Stephens, Australia
    Best for anyone
  5. Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica along the famous 7-mile beach
    Best for hedonists and swinging singles (pun very much intended)
  6. Pinho Beach (Praia do Pinho) in Santa Catarina, Brazil
    Best for anyone
  7. Red Beach in Crete, Greece
    Best for rustic naturists
  8. Haulover Beach near Miami, Florida

Any other note-worthy nude beaches? How do y'all feel about nude beach-going?
