:extract_cover():upscale()/ps-image-unavailable.png)
If you're one of those people who just loathes having tan lines, then may I suggest you check out a beach where clothing is completely optional? Yes, there are a slew of beaches across the world where nudity is celebrated and no one has a care in the world. You may even be surprised to know that there are some right here in the United States. If being free to bare it all sounds like the perfect way to spend your next vacation, consider one of these nine lovely locales.
Paradise Beach, Greece
Paradise Beach in Mykonos is notorious for its parties and general fun atmosphere going on constantly. It was settled back in the 1960s by hippies as a nude paradise and it has only grown in popularity since.
Haulover Beach, Florida
You can find Haulover Beach in Miami, just like some 7,000 people a day do. This particular beach is clothing-optional, so if you're feeling a little shy, you don't have to strip down.
Hippie Hollow, Texas
Tucked into a corner of Lake Travis in Austin is Hippie Hollow. It's a laid-back clothing-optional paradise with beautiful weather and beautiful people.
Es Trenc, Spain
On the south coast of Majorca is Es Trenc, a beautifully wild beach. You can find quite a bit of tranquility here among other nudists, which makes it a very relaxing place for couples.
Praia do Pinho, Brazil
Praia do Pinho, Brazil's original naturalist beach, is an oasis with white sand and beautiful water. You'll find no clothes anywhere on this beach and nudity is wholeheartedly celebrated.
Kehena, Hawaii
Kehena may only be unofficially clothing-optional, but you can feel free to go full nude here on this black sand beach. Bonus: you can spot dolphins all over the waters at this beach.
Wreck Beach, Canada
In Vancouver, you can find Wreck Beach, North America's largest nude beach. You're welcome to leave your clothes behind here — just be aware that photos are prohibited to protect everyone's privacy.
Cap d'Agde, France
This beach is actually an entire little town where nudity is very much encouraged. Seriously, you can do everything in the nude here, like eat out, go to the bank, or walk your dog.
Black's Beach, California
Black's Beach, in the San Diego area, has a very well-defined boundary where the clothing-optional area starts, so make sure you're inside those lines before you leave your clothes behind.
