Going to a nude beach is something of an art. And while there are nude beaches all over the world, the best nude beaches anywhere are on the sands of the Caribbean. Of course, there are varying degrees of what it means to be au naturel in the Caribbean, from skinny dipping at night to Hedonism. Some of the beaches are public, some are private, but at any au naturel beach or beach resort the important thing is that it has to feel secure, safe and comfortable. And that’s what makes the Caribbean such a perfect place for it. Here are the best nude beaches for you to visit.

Grand Saline Beach, St Barth Truth be told, no one will blink an eye if you go topless on any of St. Barth’s beaches, but the best place to take it all off is at Salines. There’s no shade here, though, so slap on the sunscreen before you strip. Because there’s just something about St Barth makes you want to take your clothes off. And this isn’t just the most beautiful of nude beaches in the region — it’s one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, period.
