Top 5: Nude Beaches from Around the World

Nudity and public are two words that usually strike curiosity and also add a sense of danger naked in public, or have had nightmares about walking down the street undressed and unable to clothe themselves.

We all know that nudity in public has been prohibited since the time of Adam and Eve; but everyone is born naked--its natural. Some people embrace this theory and nude beaches have been developed all over the world. These beaches are a way for you to express your curiosity and live (at least for that day) --naturally! You can feel what it is like to actually be wearing only your birthday suit.

Below is a list of the top 5 nude beaches from around the world:

5) Hedonism II, Jamaica - Located in Negril, Jamaica for the young, the wet, and the wild. Nude bathing is always encouraged. In the resort there are two sections, "the nude" and "the prude". There are many activities such as volleyball, swimming, socializing, partying and just relaxing and taking in the sun.

4) Baker Beach, San Francisco, California -Only 5 minutes from the beautiful downtown of San Francisco, with a view of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, this beach is an attraction for many of the local students. More men are seen completely nude at this beach, although many women go topless while some opt go completely nude. Expect to see some gawkers, this is just part of the thrill.

3) Praia do Pinho, Brazil - Located in the city of Balneário Camboriú/SC, around 80 Km away from Florianópolis, this "au naturel" beach has one rule--"clothing is not an option". Harmony with nature is their motto. Although nature and harmony were their original intent, many tourists have grabbed onto the idea -- making it more popular, which has caused a loss of the "naturalistic effect". To avoid this rush of people, the best time to visit is from November to March.

2) Swanbourne Beach, Perth, Australia - Just 20 minutes south of Perth, Australia, you will see beautiful sandy white beaches and exotic blue-turquoise water. This nude beach is world famous and holds annual "Nude Olympics" for the whole family. Clothing is very discouraged, so if you wish to join the fun, be ready to peel it all off.

1) Playa d'Es Cavallet, Ibiza, Spain - Stretching over tens of meters wide, this is one of the very few nude beaches located on Ibiza, Es Cavallet. The beach is full of beautiful white sand dunes which adds an exotic feeling to the atmosphere. Families and prudes are also welcome, but young couples can always find a nice get-away from the crowd between the many sand dunes.
