2010's Top Ten International Nude Beaches

Sustainable swimsuits and trunks are hot. Zero swimsuits and trunks on the other are even greener -- perhaps to some, even hotter -- with production energy, natural resources, and fabric out of the picture. Plus, as many would argue, what's more natural than reclaiming our birthday suit in which we arrived to this planet and getting down with Mother Nature?

If the idea of baring all makes you blush or has you thinking "hell no!", I felt the same -- especially having been raised in the States where it sometimes feels like showing one's skin is akin to committing a sin. Then I braved a day trip to Gunnison Beach, Sandy Hook, NJ -- ranked at #8 on the list -- and not only relished the carefree and colorful experience, it happened to be one of the cleanest most beautiful beaches I've enjoyed on the East Coast.

Ready to dip your toes into the world of beaching bikini or speedo-free? Hang free and get fearless! Head over to your nearest of TripAdvisor's 2010 Top Ten Nude Beaches.

Extra bonus: no tan lines! Just be extra-protective of the areas where sun hasn't shone. ;)
