Clothing-optional and nude beaches in the USA

Kenneth Hagemeyer

Nude beaches in the United States range from officially designated clothing-optional areas to remote spots where nudity is traditionally tolerated. While public nudity is not widely legal across the country, several states—particularly California, Florida, Oregon, Hawaii, and New Jersey—have well-known beaches where going au naturel is accepted or permitted.

These beaches often attract a diverse, body-positive crowd seeking sun, freedom, and a relaxed atmosphere. Rules vary by location, so visitors should always check local laws and practice respectful beach etiquette.
