Take it all off at these clothing optional beaches

Week after week, the most popular Trip Idea on Kayak.com is “Best Nude Beaches” from the Travel Channel. We assume this is because bathing suits are expensive and you can’t beat the price of your birthday suit. In honor of all you pervs, free spirits, exhibitionists etc, here is a list of clothing optional beaches and resorts.

  • Hedonism Resort is the closest many of us will ever come to the Playboy mansion. As the name suggests, this beach front resort welcomes the wicked to a Spring Break atmosphere all year around. Choose from two locations in Jamaica: Hedonism II in Negril or Hedonism III in Runaway Bay. Both resorts are all-inclusive (which comes in handy when you don’t have pockets) and offer activities and amenities for the nude and clothed.
  • Haulover Beach in Sunny Isles, Florida is one of the few government-sanctioned clothing-optional beaches in the US. Located just north of Miami, visitors to Haulover enjoy many of the amenities associated with regular beaches including lifeguards (Kayak.com encourages safety during all naked frolicking) and organized group activities-mind out of the gutter, we mean swimming and volleyball. There are a number of resorts from the bargain Best Western to the luxurious Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort.
  • Don’t know about you, but we prefer a beach so beautiful that eyes can’t help but look elsewhere. Red Beach on Greece’s picturesque island of Crete boasts a turquoise blue sea and a sunset that creates a hue of colors not to be missed. Sick of sitting on the beach? The ancient caves of Red Beach offer more cracks and crevices than, well, a nude beach.
  • Couldn’t make it to the Olympics in Torino or Athens? How about the Nude Olympics on Samurai Beach in Port Stephens, Australia? While you won’t see the Today Show cast reporting from these Olympics, visitors come nevertheless to see athletes compete in events such as the nude torch relay, nude surfing and the nude beach men and women competition. Before you get judgmental, how much clothes do you think the first Olympians wore?
