The top 10 nude beaches in the U.S. include these California favs
Set across a vast geographic and Red/Blue-state divide, what do Florida and California have in common? A deep appreciation for clothing-optional recreation, according to a ranking of nudist beaches in America.
Using TripAdvisor reviews, temperature data and Instagram hashtags, the poker-culture site VIP-Grinders recently selected 10 top-rated beaches where it’s fine to wear a birthday suit, which USA Today picked up for a splashy story. Included are several California beaches, as well as one in Florida that’s great for watching space-rocket launches and another on a barrier island 12 miles off of Mississippi.
It’s important to do one’s research before dropping trou in public. “On federal land, such as what’s owned by the National Park Service, there’s no law banning nudity, so it’s acknowledged that you can shed your swimsuit without being written up,” informs USA Today. “Nevertheless, sometimes it depends on local ordinances. In California, for example, some beaches allow it only in certain areas.”
