When one thinks of nudist colonies, it is natural to also think of nudist beaches. Modern swimsuits are often so revealing that they seem like just a small step towards nudity. There are several types of nude beaches. The first time is a real nudist beach where clothes are not allowed. This type has lost popularity in recent years. Opponents of this type of compulsory nudity argued that the movement was about individual freedom and that meant that people would also have the right to keep their clothes on and take them off. The most modern type of nude beach is actually a clothing optional beach. A variation of the nude beach is the topless beach. The topless beach is pretty much a place where women show off their breasts and no other nudity is allowed.
There are a surprising number of nude beaches spread across the United States. Laws vary from state to state and town to town. It’s a good idea to know your local laws when planning a nude vacation. Some of the nudist resorts are located on or near bodies of water, including lakes or rivers. The following list is just one person’s opinion of the top five nude beaches in the United States.
* Little Beach, Hawaii. This clothing optional beach is located on the island of Maui. Nude bathing is illegal in Hawaii, but this law hasn’t been enforced in Little Beach for some time. A local artist named Dr. Leisure will paint the picture of him as a souvenir.
* Red, White and Blue Beach. This beach is located six miles north of Santa Cruz in California. Activities here include whale watching and overnight camping. The beach is privately owned from the parking lot to the shore, so you can even park your bare car here.
* Black Beach. Located in a seaside park on the San Diego coast, nestled against high cliffs, this is a popular surf spot. Some parts of the park prohibit nudity, so make sure you’re in the right spot.
* South Beach. This beach located in Miami, Florida, is a popular place among the youngest due to its constant party atmosphere.
* Gunnison Beach. This beach is located in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It is a clothing optional beach that hosts up to 10,000 people on a summer weekend.
