Patong Beach
One of Thailand’s best nude beaches is also home to one of its most infamous red-light districts. Patong Beach features all the same amenities as any other seaside town, like a long stretch of sand, water sports, and plenty to see, but with a few important differences. One is that many (but not all) locals and tourists wear very little on this island’s main street and shopping areas. You’ll find people sunbathing and swimming au naturel in many tourist hot spots such as Nai Yang Beach or Cape Aonang on Koh Lanta. There are also a few wonderful resorts for those who don’t want to show off their skin among all the textiles either.

It’s important to understand what it means to be a nudist and how to behave appropriately when you’re at one of these unique locations.

#1 – Fisherman’s Cove – Boracay Island, Philippines With white sand and swaying palm trees, Fisherman’s Cove is one of the best beaches in Boracay.

Boa Viagem Beach
No matter what time of year you go, Brazil’s Beaches are never a bad idea.

Bring sunscreen if you plan on being there for more than 2 days as well as any other beach necessities such as towels and flip-flops or shoes. You’ll also want to pack an extra bag because shopping has its perks! And don’t forget to buy some food from one of their local fruit stands before heading back home.
