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.)

So, how does one find these elusive edens of au naturel relaxation? A quick internet search can be enlightening (just maybe not at work). There are websites and online communities dedicated to the naturist lifestyle, with maps and guides to help you find your little slice of bare beach heaven.

We've compiled a list of the best U.S. beaches for naturists. Have a look. Then walk, don't run, to plan a trip if you dare to go bare.

• Haulover Beach, Florida: A Floridian favorite for its white sands and welcoming atmosphere.

• Black's Beach, California: A hidden gem beneath the cliffs near San Diego.

• Gunnison Beach, New Jersey: The only legal nude beach in New Jersey, known for its friendly vibes.

• Little Beach, Hawaii: A Hawaiian paradise on Maui, famous for its Sunday drum circles.

• Baker Beach, San Francisco: Offers breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

• Moshup Beach, Massachusetts: Located on Martha's Vineyard, this beach offers a more secluded experience.

• Collins Beach, Oregon: Nestled along the Columbia River, known for its laid-back atmosphere.

• Blind Creek Beach, Florida: An undeveloped and serene beach on Florida's Treasure Coast.

• Red Rock Beach, California: A small, hidden cove near San Francisco, known for its peaceful setting.

• San Gregorio Private Beach, California: Located in San Mateo County, this is the oldest nude beach in the U.S.

Each of these beaches offers a unique experience, from the bustling crowds of Haulover to the tranquil shores of Red Rock. They are united by a common thread: the joy of enjoying nature as nature intended.

Remember to check local rules and regulations, as each beach has its own guidelines for nude sunbathing. And, as always, respect for others and the environment is paramount.

From the sunny coasts of Florida to the rugged shores of Oregon, the U.S. is dotted with havens for those who prefer their beach days au naturel. So grab your sunscreen (lots of it), and embark on a liberating journey. Happy sunbathing! 🌞🌴
