Travel Bite from New Zealand informs that “naturism (the preferred term for the clothing-optional philosophy and way of life) has been documented since the time of Alexander the Great”.
Their list of the “world’s top nudist spots” created by Travel Bite includes:
- Brighton, UK (where in the winter “temperatures sink below 3°C”);
- Dubrovnik, Croatia (with “a variety of beaches that cater to both domestic and international clothing-free tourists”);
- The party island of Ibiza, Spain (with “the relaxed attitude”)
- Darwin, Australia (documented since 1943, when “men of the RAAF enjoyed a skinny dip outside of Darwin whilst on duty during World War II”);
- Aletsch Glacier, Switzerland (where “600 nudists gathered to be photographed by Spencer Tunick”);
- Kirke Hyllinge, Denmark (“This Danish nudist retreat 50km from Copenhagen celebrated its 50th anniversary last year.”);
- Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (where “you can even indulge in the naturist sport of ‘’canuding’’);
- Solbakken, Denmark (for all-aged nudists);
- The clothing-optional town Cap d’Agde, France; (where “the summer-time crowd … flocks to take off their clothes”)
- “America’s oldest clothing-optional beach” San Gregorio, California, USA (where nudism “is a family affair”);
- Fuerteventura, Canary Islands (with the “beautiful sands”);
- Kauai, Hawaii, USA (famous for “classic Americana kitch”);
