Summer is coming, and it's going to be hot. Some people might even want to strip down and do some skinny-dipping to cool off. If you're one of those people, as it turns out, one New Jersey beach is one of the best for skinny-dipping. ie. nude bathing, in America.

My Dating Adviser, a dating advice site, has put out its 2023 list of the top 100 places to skinny dip in the world. "Our study compared 100 nude beach spots across the following categories: beach quality, safety, weather, and hotel cost (with seven data points)," they explain in the story. "We then ranked the top 25 nude beaches globally, with the best location per country."

In this article, they not only pinpoint the best places to skinny-dip in the world, they also highlight spots just in America. According to the list, Gunnison Beach in Sandy Hook, N.J., is the No. 11 best place to get your naked on at the beach in America. It's about an hour drive from Staten Island.

So, what's the top spot to skinny-dip in the U.S.? According to the study, it's Washougal River in Washington. As for the best spot to skinny-dip in the world, that's Lokrum Island in Croatia. My guess is that there aren't too many people in that area, and it's probably beautiful, so that's a win-win.

It's worth noting that Gunnison Beach is reportedly the only beach where clothing is legally just optional as part of the federal Gateway National Recreation Area. So, don't go getting your nude on anywhere else. Also, it's best to check out the laws wherever you get your beach on this summer. Also, if you do plan to go to Gunninson Beach, note that cameras are not permitted. That's a good thing, because obviously, the people who go there and get their naked on don't want to see it splashed all over the web.
