Florida, USA
Haulover Beach
The most famous clothing-optional beach in the United States, Haulover sits on a barrier island just north of Miami Beach. A roughly half-mile stretch at the north end is officially designated for nude use and is patrolled by Miami-Dade County lifeguards. Wide, fine-sand shoreline, calm Atlantic surf, and a remarkably mixed crowd — locals, retirees, snowbirds, and international travelers all share the space.
California, USA
Black's Beach
A dramatic, cliff-backed two-mile stretch of sand below the Torrey Pines bluffs in La Jolla. The northern half — accessed via the Glider Port trail — has been a de facto clothing-optional beach since the 1970s. Wild, undeveloped, and physically demanding to reach: expect a steep, eroded descent and no facilities once you're down. Reward: world-class surf, sunsets, and one of the few truly unmanicured beaches left in Southern California.
Texas, USA
Hippie Hollow Park
Texas's only legally clothing-optional public park, perched on a rocky cove of Lake Travis northwest of Austin. Operated by Travis County Parks since 1985, Hippie Hollow is 18-and-over only and has been continuously nudist for half a century. The shoreline is limestone — no sand — with a series of terraced ledges that step down to the water. Bring water shoes. On hot weekends the cove fills with boats anchoring offshore.
