The World's Most Famous Naturist Beaches and Resorts

Alright, so you’ve finally worked up the nerve to visit a naturist resort—in layman’s terms—a nude resort. This might be a little scary to think about. But once you realize that tons of other “imperfect” people are going to be romping about with you, it’s not so bad anymore. The question now is: Where do you go? There are actually several naturist beaches and resorts in the United States, and more than double that in other parts of the world. Take a peek at this list, and check out potential spots to toss your clothing out the window…

1- Haulover Beach (Miami, FL –U.S.)

This is one of the more popular clothing optional beaches in the United States. As a matter of fact, it is considered the most popular one in North America. It’s a nice stretch of sandy beach and warm water between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic. For a quick and quiet peek at this kind of lifestyle, Haulover is perfect.

2- Mazo Beach (Wisconsin River, WI – U.S.)

This public nude beach is the only legal one in the United States upper Midwest. The rumor is that students of architect genius, Frank Lloyd Wright first started the trend of sunbathing nude here. There is still some local controversy over whether people should be allowed to sunbathe naked at the beach. But thus far, no legislation has passed to indicate otherwise.

3- Black’s Beach (La Jolla, CA – U.S.)

Black’s Beach is more than likely the largest clothing optional beach in the United States. Set north of downtown La Jolla, nude sunbathing is actually illegal in the part of the beach which resides within the city of San Diego. But most sunbathers ignore this minor detail, and shed their clothing anyway. There have been no reports of people being arrested. And the beach is registered with The Naturist Society.
