Swimming Au Naturel

We can't deny it but the sweltering summer condition makes us all want to jump to the nearest pool or head to the beach for a good splash. And speaking of swimming, did you know that there are numerous "nudist beach"  listed in Tripadvisor? Well, I don't think I have the guts to go skinny dipping even if I have a good figure (figuratively speaking, no pun intended). I am very prudent so the nudist beach is not my cup of tea for a good summer dip. So, if you're the brazen one and doesn't mind swimming in your birthday suit, then check this list below for some famous nude beaches in the world and here they are in no particular order:

Paradise Beach, Mykonos, Greece
Cap-d'Agde France
Red Sand Beach, Matala, Crete
San Gregorio Private Beach, San Mateo County, CA
Samurai Beach, Port Stephens, Australia
Wreck Beach, Vancouver BC, Canada
Praia Do Pinho, Santa Catarina, Brazil

There are few rules to follow though, No Clothing or clothing is optional and definitely no photos!
