Best Nude Beaches
I visited one nude beach, once. Cape Town's secluded Sandy Bay is a wind-protected cove that our friend told us was great for letting it all hang out. After spending a few days at the gorgeous, trendy, topless-friendly (but ridiculously overcrowded) Clifton Beach, we decided to mix things up and head farther afield. Sandy Bay was, as promised, remote, quiet, and pristine. It was also filled with creepily bronzed, withered middle-aged men who were so evidently trying to ogle my junk that I couldn't relax. In short, it was fun, it was different -- but it was time to go.
If the thought of getting your daily dose of Vitamin D in the buff titillates you, you might want to check out USA Today's picks for the world's best nude beaches:

San Diego's Black Beach
We dive off Black's Beach, alot and thankfully, the naked folks keep north of the surf and diving parts of the beach.
So, I'm guessing that they didn't pick this one based on people's looks. It's not like Playboy Playmates are walking around Black's Beach, it's far far from that.

I have been to both Black Beach in San Diego and Haulover in Miami. Both are wonderful places to visit and even though both are nude, they are totally different types of beaches. Black Beach is beautiful but hard to reach. Haulover is more people friendly with a large parking lot, pedestrian tunnels under the highway and is usually quite crowded, get there early! The water is definately tropical.

Little Beach in Maui GREAT. Secluded and "good lookin' people" sorry, had to say it. Maybe cause it takes a little effort to get there and you need to be in decent shape for the wade, climb and descent....
And, there used to be a nude beach in Santa Barbara are...Ratton or something. Is that still there?

I am on the east coast of florida, no nude beaches right near me but I traveled to Ft.Lauderdale to a nudist hotel called ROOFTOP INN, the hotel was under some renovations at the time but the pool on the rooftop was wonderful and overlooking the ocean

This is in response to "Lyle" the 3rd comment. If you're looking for someplace fun, try Nassau, Bahamas.
I was there several months ago, and found it to be one of my favorites.

Post #2-Udo, If you are anywhere near NJ. We have Sandy Hook State Park which has a nude beach. It's a lovely place with or without the nude portion. Ask at the gate which area to go to.

For those concerned about people "ogling their JUNK" while nude on the beach ... sorry but it will happen. People of either gender (even in between genders :-)are voyuers ... they're gonna look ... particularly if your "JUNK" is above average!
Best take something to cover up with while going to and from the sand ... once there settle in and stay down ... even make a small depresion in the sand for added concealment if needed.
Otherwise ... don't go if being admired is bothersome! Most nudidts are cognizant of being polite about not staring or intruding in YOUR SPACE.

Best place in Georgia is Cumberland Island National Seashore. Walk about 20 minutes north of Sea Camp. You'll encounter an occasional curious civilian, but otherwise it's great.

These are nasty places. Decent people do not go to nude beaches. Exhibitionists, the sexually curious and deviants are the types of beach crowd populating such locales.

To Post #11, Abu Al Abbas:
You are wrong. I regularly go to Haulover Beach (a clothing optional beach) near my home. My wife is MORE comfortable there than at a beach where clothing is required, although she prefers to not go nude.
You should not make general comments about things you are ignorant of. You will find more deviants elsewhere in society, usually among groups people who claim not to be.

I am looking for a lady who enjoys nude sunbathing in the state of South Dakota. I don't know or have any friends that enjoy being nude either on the beach or hiking.
If there are any ladies out there that would like to get together for nude sunbathing or hiking then please contact me.
