Since Nantucket is set to allow topless sunbathing on its beaches, we decided to list some of America’s best nude beaches. You know, in case you want to venture out and get a little exposure on vacation this year. Now keep in mind, rules and laws around nudist beaches in the U.S. can be a little confusing. Some are considered “clothing optional” while some allow ONLY topless bathing. If in doubt, double check the laws before taking ALL of your clothes off. Here is what we found.

• Haulover Beach Park, Florida

  This is considered one of if not THE most popular nude beach in the country with more than 1.3 million people visiting each year.
