Nudism, for some a quaint and perhaps even unacceptable practice, to others a lifestyle, a way of cleansing your thoughts and be one with nature. Like it or not, they certainly make a statement.

A nudist Park: Englisher Garten, Munich, Germany

The Englischer Garten, German for “English Garden,” is a large public park in the centre of Munich, Bavaria, stretching from the city center to the north eastern city limits. To cater for the popular pastime of nude sunbathing, the authorities in the 1960s set aside the Schönfeldwiese (“Schönfeld meadow”).

“Whenever the sun is out, you’ll find Münchner of all ages, shapes and sizes catching some rays as nature intended,” writes the Mail Online. “It’s considered as much the perfect lunchtime escape from the stresses of a busy day for office workers as it a place for friends and families to gather at weekends, and the atmosphere is always convivial and laid-back.”

A nudist Hotel: Rose Garden, Germany

In the middle of the Black Forest in Germany is located a charming 31 roomed hotel. The hotel is located in a beautiful environment. There is a difference. When you enter the hotel, you have to hand in all your clothes for safekeeping. Full nudity is obligatory at all times.

A nudist Town: Cap d’Agde, France

Cap d’Agde is a beautiful French Mediterranean town, allowing you to frolic in the sea, have great seafood and an enjoyable nightlife. What makes it different to any other town in the area? Nudity is technically mandatory, on not only the beach, but also everywhere you go, including shopping, restaurants, even when banking.

Although only six holes on this golf course, the La Jenny Naturist course on France’s west coast was awarded the number one spot in a US market research for the “coolest golf course.” Full nudity is obligatory, with a number of very strict rules, including shyness being disallowed, showers need to be taken before playing, no photographs of anyone other than your own family. Shops, restaurants, swimming, and other activities are performed “au naturel” (in the natural).

Naked Beach: Haulover Beach Park, United States

Haulover Beach is located in Miami-Dade County in Florida, between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.

This 700-yard stretch offers a wide beach, surfing in open ocean, shaded picnic areas, sand dunes and vendor stands. On a good day, this beach attracts up to 7000 visitors. The northern area of this park is officially recognized as clothing-optional with official signs. Although it is only a part of the Haulover Beach Park, it attracts up to 85% of park visitors.
