With temperatures dropping in some parts of the world, many people are dreaming of warm, sunny beach days.
Fortunately, both North and South Carolina offer nude beaches where beach-goers can bask in the sun without any clothes on.
In North Carolina, nude bathing can be found in certain remote areas of the Outer Banks, specifically at the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge beach in Rodanthe. While the rules regarding nudity at this location are unclear, some visitors do choose to sunbathe in the nude at this serene beach.
For those in South Carolina looking for a nude beach experience, a trip to OBX may be necessary. However, some locals have found a more secluded option by taking their boats out to quiet lakes for a day of sunbathing in the nude away from prying eyes.
While baring it all at a nude beach can be a liberating experience, it is important to adhere to some common rules, such as no staring, no cameras, always carrying a towel, maintaining distance from others, and avoiding sexual contact. It’s also crucial to be aware of the local laws governing nudity in each specific location.
The Carolinas are not the only states in the U.S. that have clothing-optional beaches. Other states that permit nude beaches include California, Hawaii, Florida, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, and Texas.
So, whether you’re a seasoned nudist or simply curious, there are plenty of options for nude beach experiences across the country.
