There’s nothing quite like the crash of wave hitting beach, the beat of the sun on skin, the feeling of sand between the toes – and, if you’re thinking of heading to one of the world’s best nudist beaches once the self-isolation restrictions are lifted – between a few other places as well.
With all of us under lockdown dreaming of the beach as the sun starts to show its face again, what better time to peruse in preparation the best ‘nakation’ beaches the US and rest of the world has to offer? Luckily, the team at Globehunters have done much of the legwork for us, examining everything from air temperature and affordability to LGBTQ+ friendliness to find the best place to bypass your swimming costume for your birthday suit. Just think of the money you’ll save in luggage fees.
Praia das Adegas naturist beach in Portugal's Algarve. Sun and skin drenched.
Taking the top spot for best all round nudist destination is Cádiz on Spain’s south coast, with Playa de Polonia beach the place to head for – a Mecca for sun and skin worshippers the world over. Scoring a slightly arbitrary 75.79 out of 100, the score is derived from a range of sources to create a weighted ranking – relevant here as Playa de Polonia doesn’t top out in any one category but rather is the best rated across all the beaches checked.
The top ten nudist beaches and destinations in the world.
Sources include the average temperatures and number of sunshine hours from Holiday Weather from the main three summer months in each respective hemisphere and an average UV score for the equivalent months from Weather2Travel.com . Affordability was based on average Airbnb prices from AirDNA , the safety index score came from Numbeo and the so-called LGBTQ+ ‘danger index’ from Asher & Lyric ’s index of the safest and least safe countries for LGBTQ+ travelers. You can see the individual scores below – and note that for the safety and LGBTQ+ friendly scores, the higher the number the better.
Sometimes a little signage goes a long way.
Following Playa de Polonia, it’s a European clean sweep of the top five. Punta Križ beach in Monsena is the first of two entries for Croatia in second place, with Sovinje beach in Tkon also taking fourth spot. Portugal claims third with Ilha Deserta beach on the Ilha Barretta, and we’re back to Spain in fifth spot with Platja des Cavallet beach in Sant Jordi de ses Salines.
It’s not all Europe though. Indeed, in the individual categories Austin’s Hippy Hollow in the US rates first for summer temperatures alongside Ocho Rios in Jamaica with an average 29 degrees celsius (around 84 fahrenheit).
Florida and Texas may have top ranked nudism beaches but not everywhere in the US is quite so ... [+] liberal when it comes to bearing all. San Onofre, California.
And while Sweden may not be the first destination that pops into your head when thinking of places warm enough to strip off in, its Agesta Beach in Agesta is the only one to top two categories: as the best option for LGBTQ+ visitors and also the place with the lowest UV score – an important consideration for nudists! But then with an average summer temperature of just 15.5 celsius (a chilly 60 degrees fahrenheit), maybe not that important.
You can see a full interactive list for yourself here , and if you so desire dig into the methodology a little more.

The best nudist beaches in the US can be both remote and secretive, as well as convenient and busy. The nature of the shores varies wildly, from rocky to both black and white sand. The majority are quite secluded, as you’d probably expect, but even these often have good access roads and car parks nearby.
It’s worth mentioning that the rules and laws around nudist beaches in the US can be a little confusing. Some are officially “clothing-optional” while others allow only topless sunbathing. And still, there are those that are effectively “unofficial” nudist beaches, where nudity is more tolerated than legally allowed. In short, if there’s no clear signage, you might be disrobing at your own risk. If in doubt, double-check the local laws.
Every year, Haulover Beach attracts more than 1.3 million visitors, making it one of the most popular nudist beaches in the United States. This long stretch of white sand has clothing-optional sections at both ends, where naturists can rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and swim under the supervision of trained lifeguards.
If you’re not afraid to bare all in front of jostling crowds, head to Haulover Beach in July, when the National Nude Recreation Week festivities take place. Drink cocktails, dance to excellent DJs, celebrate freedom and possibly help set a Guinness World Record for skinny-dipping.
Location: Haulover Park, 10800 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33154
Little Beach in Maui offers a scenic getaway for travellers who love to drop their clothes. The beach is shaded by hillside trees and boasts pristine waters for swimming. Surrounded by a volcanic cinder cone and ancient lava flows, Little Beach is a stunning sight to visit whether you want to reveal all or not.
When you need a break from the sun, you can visit the state park marine sanctuary, which is renowned for its whales, tropical fish, dolphins, and sea turtles. Make time to visit Little Beach in time for sunset on Sunday, when fire dancers and a drum circle take centre stage.
Location: Kihei, HI 96753, Maui, Hawaii, USA
Baker Beach is a very popular urban beach in San Francisco that offers nude sunbathing and a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The 1-mile-long beach is backed by cliffs, which are home to a choice of hiking trails, 2 historical coastal artillery batteries and a small car park with restrooms.
You’ll see a very clear ‘Hazardous Surf’ sign on the beach, which not only indicates how risky it can be to take a dip in the cold water here but also marks the boundary of the clothing-optional zone. Make sure you don’t disrobe until you're north of the sign.
Location: Bowley St and Gibson Rd, San Francisco, CA 94129, USA
Gunnison Beach on Sandy Hook is the destination of choice for New Yorkers looking to unburden themselves of all their troubles, stresses and clothes. Being on Sandy Hook peninsula, just 2 hours’ drive from Brooklyn, it offers a pretty good view of the Big Apple on a clear day. The clothing-optional part of this white-sand shore is the southern bit, which is quite far from the car park and is clearly signposted.
Aside from its views and liberal policies, the beach’s assets include restrooms, showers and shops where you can buy or rent beach gear and water sports equipment. There are also several trails and interesting historical attractions, such as old coastal batteries, forts and the lighthouse.
Location: Atlantic Dr, Highlands, NJ 07732, USA
Kehena Beach is a short, narrow strip of black volcanic sand on the southeastern shore of Hawaii Big Island, a short drive from the town of Kalapana. What it lacks in size, it easily makes up for in beauty, being sandwiched between nodding palm trees and the inky blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Kehena Beach is sometimes also known as Dolphin Beach, thanks to its regular cetacean visitors. By that rationale, it could also be called Nudist Beach as its remote location makes it a great clothing-optional destination. Despite its remoteness, there's still a small car park and even a selection of villas and cottages nearby.
Location: Kalapana - Kapoho Rd, Pāhoa, HI 96778, USA
Collins Beach is an unusual addition to the list of best nudist beaches in the US as it is on the shore of the Columbia River. One of the country’s few non-coastal clothing-optional beaches, it’s located in an area of farmland in a wildlife sanctuary on Sauvie Island, about 30 minutes from Portland.
Collins Beach is as noteworthy for its beauty as it is for its dress code. It has surprisingly nice sand for a riverbank and there’s plenty of parking space behind the treeline that separates the beach from the road. It’s not that unusual to see boats dropping anchor on this stretch of the river to enjoy the beach, too.
Location: NW Reeder Rd, Portland, OR 97231, USA
Moshup Beach is a spectacular place to enjoy the sunset on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s located on the island’s east coast, at the foot of the Gay Head cliffs. The terracotta-coloured clay cliffs look especially striking in the dying rays of the end of the day.
A clothing-optional northern part of Moshup Beach is relatively easy to get to but lacks much in the way of facilities. There’s a car park, shops and even a cultural museum and the Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook, but these are a considerable walk away from the nearest beach entrance.
Location: 71 Moshup Trail, Aquinnah, MA 02535, USA
Black’s Beach is a surprisingly rugged and hard-to-reach spot that’s right in among the urban sprawl of San Diego. Just a few minutes’ drive from the University of California San Diego and right behind the Torrey Pines Golf Course, spending a day on this beach requires parking in an unpaved lot and hiking down a steep and rugged path.
It’s very likely that the challenging access is what has kept this otherwise convenient location a clothing-optional beach. The sea here can be pretty good for surfing and the sand is nice to sunbathe on, making it a very good California beach by any standard. Incidentally, despite the name, the sand is not actually black – the name comes from the family that used to own a farm overlooking the beach.

Playalinda Beach is one of the few nude beaches in Florida that also allows alcohol. Unfortunately, that’s not as useful a feature as it might sound as, being quite remote, you’ll need to drive there and back, which you can’t do after you’ve had a drink. There are absolutely no nearby facilities, either.
The beach itself is quite breezy and has quite pleasant yellow-white sand. It’s part of the Canaveral National Seashore and is within a very short distance of Kennedy Space Center. In fact, some of the space centre’s launch pads are right behind the beach, so you might find your peaceful relaxation interrupted by a rocket launch.
Location: Playalinda Beach Rd, Canaveral National Seashore, Orlando, FL 32899, USA

Hippie Hollow is a more than just a nudist beach – it’s an entire clothing-optional park just 30 minutes from downtown Austin. Access is strictly adult-only, but over-18s will be able to enjoy hiking and swimming in the 109-acre park on the shore of Lake Travis. The park has some convenient facilities, including plenty of car parking, restrooms, drinking water and various trails through the trees.
As the name suggests, the park first became popular during the Free Love era of the 1960s. Sadly, the “free” part apparently faded away over the decades and there is now a small fee to pay for entrance. It’s also worth noting that the beaches are not sandy – it’s quite a rocky shore, so it’s probably best to wear at least something on your feet, if nothing else.

Kauapea Beach is known as ‘Secret Beach’ to locals and is technically an “unofficial” nude beach on Kauai. It’s not actually listed as a formal clothing-optional area, but it’s so remote and hard to reach that the only people you really find there are those keen to get away from it all.
The beach is found on the north shore of Kauai and takes a little hiking to get to. It’s a beautiful spot, with golden sands and turquoise seas, all enclosed by jungle-covered cliffs. There’s even a waterfall a little way inland if you fancy an adventure while you’re there. Naturally, being a secret beach, don’t expect any restrooms or restaurants.
Location: Kauapea Rd, Kalihiwai, HI 96754, USA
UFO Beach on South Padre Island takes its name from a futuristic “escape pod” that washed ashore here some years ago. It actually turned out to be an ocean buoy, but it certainly has a flying saucer look to it, which you can see for yourself, along with the soft white sand.
UFO Beach is one of those nudist beaches in the US that’s not officially clothing-optional, regardless of the fact that the namesake ‘UFO’ has the words “NUDE Beach” painted on it. Being 7 to 8 miles from the nearest town and even several miles from the nearest paved road (though any regular SUV can handle the dirt track), it’s remote enough that unclothed sunbathers don’t bother anyone and rarely get bothered by others. Topless sunbathing is universally allowed here, so you might just have to cover the lower part of your body. Any more than that and you may find your sunbathing being interrupted by beach patrols.
Location: South Padre Island, TX 78597, USA
