Are you clothing-optional curious? Great news: You don’t have to flock to the South of France to (respectfully) let your freak flag fly. The California Coast, from San Diego to San Fran, is home to some of the best, obscure beaches to go au naturel. Whether you want to spend the day paddleboarding or sliding down the sand dunes (which is objectively more enjoyable while nude), we’ve got you covered so you can go uncovered. As expected, many of these spots are in hard-to-reach locations so we’ve created a guide on how to get to them and other ways to entertain yourself while there. Ready to bare it all? Tap the link in our bio for the full list with directions to each hidden locale. ✍️: daisysf 📸: 1. Alexander Davidovich/Shutterstock 2. yhelfman/Shutterstock 3.
