Bare Neck Shore
Bare Neck Shore is a stretch of natural Chesapeake Bay shoreline in Anne Arundel County where clothing-optional use has been reported over the years, though it exists in a legal gray zone typical of many undeveloped Maryland beaches. This isn't a resort, campground, or officially designated nude beach — it's a quiet, unimproved piece of coastline along the Patuxent River's confluence with the Bay. The beach itself is narrow, backed by vegetation, with the pebbly sand and shallow, calm water characteristic of Chesapeake tributaries. You won't find facilities, lifeguards, trash collection, or formal parking. Access threads through residential neighborhoods, and the area's reputation rests on word-of-mouth among local naturists rather than any organized management. The low visibility and informal nature mean it's not a reliable destination the way an AANR club or West Coast clothing-optional beach might be. Maryland's naturist scene is modest compared to states with designated public nude beaches, and places like Bare Neck Shore occupy an uncertain niche: tolerated by some, unwelcome to others, subject to shifting local sentiment. If you visit, expect a rustic shoreline with driftwood, marsh grass, and occasional litter — not a manicured beach. The appeal, such as it is, lies in solitude and the chance to be unclothed outdoors in a state where few options exist.

Maryland Health Society, Inc.
Maryland Health Society operates as a members-only naturist resort in the Davidsonville area, about 30 minutes from Annapolis and an hour from Baltimore or Washington D.C. The property sits on wooded acreage that gives you privacy from the outside world while you're enjoying clothing-optional recreation. You'll find the usual resort amenities here: a swimming pool, hot tub, volleyball court, and clubhouse for social gatherings. The grounds include trails for walking and open spaces for sunbathing. This is a family-friendly environment run by AANR guidelines, so expect a laid-back, community-oriented atmosphere rather than a commercial resort vibe. Most visitors are repeat members who know each other, which can feel welcoming once you get past the initial introductions. First-time visitors need to contact the organization in advance since it's a private club—you can't just show up at the gate. The facility hosts regular events throughout the warmer months, including potlucks, holiday celebrations, and themed weekends. Some people visit for the day, others camp overnight or stay in their RVs if space permits. Winters are quieter with limited operations. If you're looking for a no-frills spot where you can be nude outdoors without driving hours from the mid-Atlantic region, this place does the job.

Pen-Mar Club
Pen-Mar Club sits on 80 acres of wooded hills in western Maryland, near the Pennsylvania border. It's been around since 1955, making it one of the region's older naturist clubs. The property has a clubhouse, pool, hot tub, volleyball courts, and hiking trails that wind through the forest. You'll also find a small pond and open lawn areas for sunbathing. This is a member-owned, family-oriented club. You can visit as a day guest, but overnight stays require membership or sponsorship by a current member. The atmosphere is low-key and social. People come here to swim, hike, play volleyball, or just relax. Weekends see more activity, especially in summer. Weekdays can be quiet. The terrain is hilly, so expect some inclines if you're exploring the trails. The clubhouse has basic amenities including restrooms, showers, and a kitchen area. There's camping available for tents and small RVs, though hookups are limited. Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. Pen-Mar is clothing-optional throughout the property, though most people go nude at the pool and sunbathing areas. Winters are cold here, so the active season runs roughly May through September. The club hosts occasional social events and potlucks. If you're new to social nudity, this is the kind of place where people will say hello but won't pressure you to participate beyond your comfort level.
