Nude beach skinny dipping

In the article, I share how fear and shame kept me from enjoying—and often joining—my peers on their skinny dipping adventures. Though I longed to be like my more free-spirited sisters, a slew issues around body acceptance and shame held me back. It was only after I entered my forties that I finally began enjoying and seeking out opportunities to get naked in public. However, those opportunities remained restricted to all-women skinny dipping events…until just a couple of weeks ago when I found myself naked at Collins Beach, a popular nude beach on Sauvie Island in Portland. Most of my friends who have gone love it and go often. For me, the idea of hanging out naked on a co-ed public beach with a bunch of naked strangers was overwhelming and mildly terrifying.

And where better to do this than in Tasmania—in fact North East Tasmania? Wild freedom with the exhilarating rush of silken pure water… While there are some designated nudist locations in Tasmania, you may be like me and prefer individual privacy. Total seclusion with no prying eyes. A beach to yourself. A waterfall just for you. In the summer of Graham and I took on a dare—to find secluded skinny dipping locations within a one-hour drive from Tin Dragon Trail Cottages.

My wife and I are vacationing in Ireland later this month. Is there anyplace we can go skinny dipping without getting in trouble. We read about Roundstone near Clifden.

While the beach tends to draw party-goers and club-hoppers from around the world, rest assured these crystal-clear waters welcome skinny dippers around the clock. A designated nude beach, Jerolim is a popular spot for swimming in the buff, but shy swimmers can find plenty of empty coves and sandy shores throughout the island. In Finland, ice-hole swimming is considered a healthy practice, said to improve circulation, boost your immune system and give you a burst of energy.
