In fact, if you were to judge the US based solely on the number of nude beaches and naturalist-friendly experiences, like nude cruises, you’d think we were a bit more lax when it comes to donning a Birthday Suit.
Turns out, when it comes to relaxing while nude in the United States, you simply need to know where to go. There are many nude-friendly zones—but they’re spread far and wide.
One recent study from Hoppa, an airport transportation booking platform, uncovered the most popular nude beaches across the United States. Here’s what we know based on their recent data dive, which took a look at Google search data related to searches made in the last year.

What makes a nude beach more popular than others? Based on the research from Hoppa, it’s a combination of proximity to large cities and reputation. This study took a look at Google searches from the last year searching for nude beaches, along with TripAdvisor scores.
Nationwide, searches cover around 250,000 nude beach searches per month, hinting that Americans are more interested in clothing-optional beaches than you might think. The top spot in the rankings had more than one million Google searches last year alone.
