Best Nude Beaches

We all come into this world naked. The mere mention of a nude beach makes some people uncomfortable.

For people associated with the naturist movement, however, the notion seems... well, natural. The clothing optional beaches first became popular in France in the 1950’s. All along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts Europeans exposed their bodies without shame or embarrassment.

Since then, multiple beaches have become nude or "free" beaches.

The concept has become so mainstream that the Travel Channel dedicated a top ten list to it.

These best nude beaches are rated by location, percentage of people bearing it all, and fun factor. All locations had to be legal nude beaches to be considered.
