They’re full of creepy guys<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe #1 myth about nude beaches is that they attract men looking to sneak a peek at some naked bods. Of course men go to nude beaches, but in most cases they aren\u2019t creepy and\u2014shocker\u2014women go, too! Travel writer and LaLaScoop<\/a> founder Melissa Curtin has been to nude beaches all over the world in Europe, the Caribbean and the United States. \u201cI\u2019ve never run into creepy men at nude beaches in all of my travels,\u201d she says. \u201cBeaches near Ibiza, for example, were populated with carefree men and women of all ages. No one was batting eyes at each other. I was shocked in St. Martin when it was actually mostly women at the nude beaches. When I lived in France, I realized most people are just going to feel good in their own skin, not to ogle over naked bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/not-old-people-2.jpg\")

It\u2019s all old people<\/strong><\/h2>\nComing in a close #2 is that everyone who goes is old. Generally speaking, the older we get the less body-conscious we become so it makes sense to assume old people care less about someone seeing them naked (i.e.: gym locker rooms\u2026). The good news: Millennials are increasingly fearless and free-spirited about nude beaches. For example, 24-year-old UCSB student Noah Juliano often frequents nude beaches in the U.S. along with his fellow millennials.\u00a0 \u201cA lot of people assume nude beaches are full of a bunch of creepy old men or sex-crazed voyeurs,\u201d he says. \u201cIn all honesty, the majority of people I\u2019ve seen are younger people just trying to avoid tan lines. I personally go to practice my hatha yoga and meditation, to surrender to the setting sun and to connect to Mother Earth through a very liberating and empowering medium.\u201d Spoken like a true millennial!<\/p>\n
Everyone will stare and judge me!<\/strong><\/h2>\nOne of the biggest fears people have about going to a nude beach for the first time is that everyone will stare. We\u2019re constantly being judged in today\u2019s world of likes and comments, so it\u2019s only natural to worry we\u2019d be judged in our most natural state. No matter what you look like, it takes confidence and self-love to be naked in front of others. \u201cMy experience with nude beaches has been the exact opposite of everyone staring and judging me,\u201d says Ryan Paul, a 38-year-old entertainment executive in Venice, California. \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve experienced, everyone is almost afraid to get caught staring, so no one looks at you and most people are looking down or off into the ocean. Instead of judgment, what I\u2019ve felt has always been acceptance. It\u2019s the exact opposite of what you think. Granted, it takes courage to go full monty, but it’s also half the fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALSO<\/strong>: The naked truth is that joining Orbitz Rewards yields amazing savings!<\/a><\/p>\n Since 1931, the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) has been on a mission to advocate nudity and nude recreation by educating society of their value. As a part of that initiative, the organization encourages proper nude beach etiquette<\/a> that is centered around \u201crespect for yourself, others and the environment.\u201d This mantra of respect is vital and important among nudists and at nude beaches. \u201cFrom my experience, nude beachgoers aren’t looking to hook up at a nude beach or get handsy,\u201d says\u00a027-year-old Miami resident Alex Noel. \u201cThey’re going to enjoy feeling free in nature. Harassment is not tolerated and no<\/em> always means no<\/em>. If someone is looking for an experience with a little PDA, many clothing-optional resorts are considered sex-positive and have designated areas.\u201d<\/p>\n Michelle Facey, Chief Pleasure Officer at Hedonism II<\/a>, a clothing optional resort outside of Negril, Jamaica has seen it all. With a job title like that, Michelle frequently gets asked all kinds of questions from family, friends and guests including ones on the issue of arousal. \u201cWhile it is possible, it\u2019s unlikely,\u201d she says. \u201cThe more time you spend around nudity, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s natural and freeing and doesn\u2019t have to be sexual at all. If you do happen to get aroused, no need to be embarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n As humans, it\u2019s part of our psyche to want to be loved and respected by others, especially those closest to us. If doing something like going to a nude beach might cause others to think negatively of us, we may not risk it (or tell them). David Dwight, a 73-year-old from Washington, used to worry about reactions but now goes on to say, \u201cThe people we have told are curious about our lifestyle, but not judgmental. They are very positive about our decision. We often share our adventures with them and they ask lots of questions. Several of our good friends now enjoy it, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n The idea that only singles go to nude beaches is just not true. Just ask Tiana and Shannon Harris, a traveling couple and founders of Power Couple Life<\/a>. These world travelers go to nude beaches all the time. \u201cThere are more couples than you would think,\u201d they say. \u201cIt\u2019s a freeing and fun experience for couples to share.\u201d Los Angeles resident Deborah Wagner loves going to nude beaches with her boyfriend. \u201cAs a couple, we love being naked and free with our bodies,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to avoid feeling any judgement because everyone is naked! It\u2019s really a beautiful thing and I would tell other couples to give it a try. How many times are you able to walk around publicly naked in broad daylight and not care or worry you might get arrested?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not at all true. At the end of the day most people are going to nude beaches to enjoy being au naturale<\/em> outdoors and simply to avoid tan lines. The AANR further claims nude recreation is fun, helps your body relax faster, brings you closer to nature, makes packing for travel easier and acts as an equalizer to erase material judgements. 41-year-old Joshua Gerbaldawitz from Seal Beach, CA enjoys going to nude beaches because he says when people shed their clothes, they often let go of trying to impress others. \u201cIt\u2019s cool talking with other naked people because you have no armor, walls or clothes to hide behind,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s actually liberating and you\u2019re sharing a vulnerable moment. You just start at a deeper level and it cuts through all the BS had you been wearing clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n Public nudity laws vary across state and county lines. Some nude beaches are completely legal while others are technically illegal, but not enforced. In some cases, you might be subject to a fine.
