What is the Point of a Nude Beach Anyway?

Have you ever seen someone walking the street wearing nude colored clothing and think, "Oh my goodness! Is he or she naked?" More times than not, the person is not actually naked. (Hopefully)

However, when visiting certain beaches around the world, without research, you will be surprised at how many of these beaches belong to nudist resorts!

What is so cool about being naked and laying on the beach?

Of course, the full body tan would look AMAZING, and being naked is rather comfortable, but what if sand gets in places where it is not welcomed? (if you know what I mean) Is it worth it?

Nudists believe that the human body is beautiful. They feel no shame in their bare skin, and so they do not care about showing all loose, tight, or wrinkly parts of their body.

For that, they get a lot of respect!

Below is a list of 5 top nudists beaches/resorts across the world and in the U.S. Not a fan of being naked in public? You can always travel to these judgement free zones to try it for yourself or know you have a list of where NOT to go.

Montalivet, France

Le Centre Helio Montalivet is said to be the birthplace of the international naturist movement. It was back in the 1950s that different areas of France began to accommodate nudists with safe and legal areas to call their own.

Not only is this place great for sunbathing completely naked, you can go camping and enjoy a nice hike the way nature has always intended it! - you guessed it, NAKED!

Samurai Beach, Australia

This resort is only two and a half hours north of Sydney and is said to be the perfect escape place from all reality.

When visiting the Red Beach, visitors are allowed to walk in the nude at all times except when eating in the dining room. (DUH)

It has been said by other tourists that Crete is decorated with cliffs, charming cottages, and of course, beautiful water. Need something better? - Having the ancient ruins as the backdrop will definitely leave you in awe and your fellow travelers is awe!

There is nothing wrong with being part of nudist beach. It is practically admirable. But, is this becoming more of trend rather than a lifestyle? Most resorts or beaches are clothing optional, but who honestly can resist the option of being naked?

Is saying, "I'm a nudist" a declaration of self beliefs or just a declaration of the latest fashion? You decide!
