#9 Best Nude Beach per the Travel Channel — 3 years ago
9. Red, White and Blue Beach
Location: Santa Cruz, California
What’s Cool: Nudity is allowed from the parking lot to the beach
A nude beach in Santa Cruz seems fitting, given the area’s tolerant, bohemian lifestyle. Just six miles north of the city, the private Red, White and Blue Beach has been the choice of Bay area naturists for more than 30 years. And, because the area is privately owned, visitors are welcome to cook, play and even park their cars in the buff. Recreation options at Red, White and Blue Beach include volleyball, whale watching (in the spring) and overnight camping.
