<\/h3>\nTan lines? What tan lines? As the smallest and most southerly of Spain\u2019s\u00a0Balearic Islands, Formentera boasts some of the Mediterranean\u2019s finest beaches. There\u2019s no need to pussyfoot around on these\u00a0unspoiled\u00a0sands \u2013 nudity is the norm and you\u2019ll likely draw more looks if you cover up than if you let it all hang out. Playa Levante is a sandy enclave backed by trees and caressed by sheltered dunes, while Playa Es Calo has great\u00a0snorkeling\u00a0in its crystal-clear bay. As far as above-board skinny-dipping goes, it probably\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0get any better than this.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nIn a land littered with volcanic wonders, Askja is a gem. Isolated in Iceland\u2019s remote Central Highlands, in the shadow of the immense Vatnaj\u00f6kull ice cap, it\u2019s a hard place to reach. You\u2019ll need off -road driving skills and nerves of steel to ford the daunting glacial rivers, but it\u2019s worth the effort. Following a huge eruption in 1875 the volcano\u2019s caldera collapsed and filled with water. The resulting lake, \u00d6skjuvatn, is Iceland\u2019s deepest at 220m. But nearby Viti is the main attraction. Intrepid visitors scramble into the steep crater to soak in soothing geothermal waters \u2013 bathing suits are strictly optional.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nJapan\u2019s tradition of hot-spring bathing \u2013\u00a0onsen<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 is enshrined in the nation\u2019s culture. Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan bubbles with volcanic activity and there are thousands of bathing houses serving locals and tourists alike. Japan\u2019s army of salary people view\u00a0onsen<\/em>\u00a0as the perfect stress buster, a place to unwind and shake off the city\u2019s shackles. Naturally, you can only do that if you\u2019re butt naked. It\u2019s a philosophy some Westerners find hard to grasp, but if you\u2019re prudish most\u00a0onsen<\/em>\u00a0offer single-sex bathing. If you get the chance, it\u2019s an experience not to be missed.<\/p>\n In summer Finns love nothing more than hanging out at their summer houses, firing up the barbie and frolicking in one of their country\u2019s 187,888 crystal-clear lakes. But summer\u2019s for softies! Hard-core skinny-dipping combines the ubiquitous Finnish sauna with a teeth-chattering \u00a0spot of ice swimming. Public swimming holes will usually call for bathing suits, but if you know what you\u2019re doing no one\u2019s going to stop you hacking your own hole and taking the plunge. On a still wilderness evening, under a crisp star-studded sky, scampering from the steamy sauna to the inky water is a withering experience.<\/p>\n Michigan\u2019s Porcupine Mountains, known as the \u2018Porkies\u2019, are a series of ridges rising steeply from the shores of Lake Superior. This is nature on a grand scale: panoramic views, vast isolation and the world\u2019s largest freshwater lake. A great weekend hike follows a loop linking three trails \u2013 Escarpment, Big Carp River and Lake Superior \u2013 to take in the finest scenery. Fancy a dip? Seven miles west of the trailhead lies a sheltered back-country camp site, voted as the definitive skinny-dipping location in the States. Tiptoe over the carpet of pine needles and rejoice in the perfect naked swim.<\/p>\n Travellers on the 1960s hippy trail made Paradise Beach famous as a hedonistic hideaway of free love and unbridled carousing. Today it remains a party hotspot where backpackers crowd the beach bars and rock through the night. Make no mistake, this place is popular, so forget having the beach to yourself. Paradise is all about hanging out and mixing with an energetic crowd of revellers. And at the end of the night there\u2019s no better way to get to know your new friends than with a dawn swim \u2013 au naturel of course.<\/p>\n Scattered in the Bay of Bengal near\u00a0Burma\u00a0and\u00a0Indonesia, the 582 islands of Andaman and Nicobar shot to global prominence after being hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Tourism is recovering, and Radha Nagar on\u00a0Havelock Island\u00a0has been receiving serious praise \u2013 could this really be the \u2018best beach in Asia\u2019? It\u2019s a bold claim, but one that stands up to scrutiny. Pristine white sand, turquoise water and coral reefs with great\u00a0snorkeling\u00a0give it major plus points, as do the cinematic sunsets. It\u2019s a wondrous place to take a cheeky dip, but watch out for strong currents.<\/p>\n Skinny-dipping in England? Yep, some people are that bonkers. Wild camping in England is officially off limits and parading in the buff isn\u2019t really the done thing \u2013 it\u2019s just not cricket, you know? But that shouldn\u2019t stop you; you can pitch a tent discreetly in the Lake District and nobody will mind. In the cool of the early morning, drag yourself from the tent and take a dip in Blackmoss Pot, a sheltered pool with great rocks for star jumping to the clear water below. No amount of steaming tea and bacon butties can wake you quite this effectively.<\/p>\n Even by the liberal standards of continental Europeans, Germans are rampant nudists. It\u2019s a mentality rooted in the 19th-century Freik\u00f6rperkultur (free-body culture) movement, one that lives on in today\u2019s urban dwellers. In summer thousands of everyday M\u00fcnchners head to the city\u2019s largest park, the Englischer Garten, to get their nude on over lunch, sprawling on the grass or cooling off in the river. The countless piles of neatly folded business suits is an unusual scene, and a constant source of amusement for tourists.<\/p>\n This one\u2019s for the romantics. A luxury island resort accommodating just 14 couples featuring sumptuous villas, oceanfront alfresco dining and a spa menu as idyllic as the location. Better still, there are 14 private beaches. Who\u2019s to stop you taking a nude stroll along the white sands, soaking up a little sun or enjoying a moonlight splash? The island was a locale for\u00a0The Blue Lagoon<\/em>\u00a0(1980), and it\u2019s hard to imagine stripping off in a more sublime location.<\/p>\n 1. Formentera,\u00a0Spain Tan lines? What tan lines?
