Clothes are great, but sometimes you want to enjoy the outdoors in your birthday suit. Peep our favorite spots to let it all hang out.

Look, clothes can occasionally come in handy, but every once in a while we just want to log some hours in our respective birthday suits. (Is that totally weird? Yeah? Kind of? Ok.) Anyway... there are a few spots in the Bay perfect for shimmying out of your skivvies without getting slapped with an indecent exposure charge.





REMEMBER: Clothing is optional, but masks are not. Whilst you're venturing out to these nudist spots, remember to bring your mask with you and keep at least 6 ft from others!





BEACHES





1504 Pershing Dr // SF

The north end of Baker Beach is clothing optional, so the further north you go along the shore the more likely you'll run into some nude dudes (and dudettes). There's usually a wide variety of happenings going on in the area from naked frisbee to drum circles, so strip down and get a little crazy.









3325 Shoreline Hwy // Stinson Beach

Rugged and picturesque, this beach is a great place to get away from it all... including those pesky clothes. Trail access is steep, so be sure to bring quality shoes! That said, there are hot springs to be found during the lowest tides, and wet sand during the highest, so check the tide charts before you go.









Hwy 1 & Hwy 84 // San Gregorio

Just north of San Gregorio State Beach is the nudist haven, San Gregorio Private Beach, deemed the oldest clothing-optional beach in the country. All are welcome, but the silent rule is that the north end is gay territory and the south end is for the straights. Either way you swing, enjoy.









Lincoln Blvd & Langdon Ct // SF

With the reputation of being primarily a gay nude beach, this spot has some stellar views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Thanks to the steep cliffs that make for some serious seclusion, this is definitely one of the most popular and well-known clothing-optional beaches around.









Conzelman Rd // Saulsalito

One of the more unique beaches of the bunch, Black Sands beach is a beautiful expanse of coastline made up of, you guessed it, black sand. Enjoy yourself some gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge as you rid yourself of tan lines with the locals.
