15 Secret Spots Where You Can Get Naked in America

By Urbanmatter Chicago @UMatterChicago

Stipping down to your birthday suit is fun, relaxing, and most of all comfortable. While we can all enjoy getting naked in our own homes, some of us may want to take the peep-show on the road and get out in public — au naturel. If you’re looking to get a tan, relax in a hot tub or even get a mani-pedi in the buff, you’re in luck. Though America is known for being a little more prudish than our European friends, that doesn’t mean public nudity is completely off the table. Check out these 15 secret spots where you can get naked in America.
