Up until this year I had never had an opportunity to go to a nude beach with my wife. She’s worn a thong but usually chooses more conservative swimwear. We were on a long weekend at staying a half block from the beach that was very thong friendly. Half way through the first day she asked me if I wanted to go to the nude beach. About a 30 min uber ride away. I declined (she was a bit surprised) as it didn’t really appeal to me. If it was a half block away or a short walk I probably would have gone and stripped down, but the over all appeal wasn’t there, at least not enough to put the effort into making the trip. Not my thing I guess. Wondering what others think about wearing a thong versus a nude beach.

I have been to a few clothing optional beaches. Over all I like the vibe most of the time with people usually being friendly and relaxed. But, given a preference I would choose beaches that are not necessarily clothing optional. I like to wear my swim thongs and get the tan lines associated with wearing a thong. I also like seeing others wearing their thong bikinis. In my eyes is is much sexier to see someone wearing a thong that going nude.

Great points. I enjoy wearing different suits and going nude removes that opportunity.

I’ve been going to nude beaches for a long time and have always enjoyed them; it’s a comfortable way to enjoy the sun and the water. That being said, it usually requires going out of the way to get to one (ha ha, except in Croatia where they are ubiquitous), so the number of times I get to such beaches per year is “a few”. One nice thing about thongs is that, in terms of comfort, getting a nice tan, having “the right tool for the job” for swimming, I’ve come to prefer thongs over fully nude, particularly when swimming, boogie boarding, and body surfing. And you don’t have to go out of the way since thongs are legal at pretty much any beach now, so the number of times I can get to those beaches is “a lot”.

It seems like most prefer a nude beach whether thong wearers or not. they are nice for a change of pace now and then but they opportunity to do do is few and far between. I definitely like the support of a thong with the feeling of basically being nude at the same time so the best of both worlds. You generally have to go out of your way to be able to sun in a thong on a beach so the convenience makes it more appealing as well. I also agree that leaving at least something to the imagination is more appealing. It’s also interesting to see what others tastes are in swimwear and what they are comfortable in around others.

Wife and I love going to nude beaches, it is just too freeing/liberating to pass up. Got her to try it about 6 years ago when we were traveling thru Miami, took her all of 3 minutes to take off swimsuit and never looked back! Just yesterday and 2 days before we took our boat out to a very regular spot of ours in the mouth of Tampa Bay, it’s a sand bar called Passage Key (aka Naked Island). We have friends staying with us who we converted several years ago and all went.
If I’m not able to be nude, then it’s a g-string or thong to stay legal. When we come back from a day on the boat I usually wear a thong or g-string back to the marina and to clean up the boat.

My preference is nude beach if it’s accessible and a good beach. Where I am the unofficial nude beach is ages away and not nearly as nice as other beaches. I like thongs because it’s less fabric but still lets you go to closer or better beaches where you can’t go nude.

I found a nude beach to be the perfect place to go for the first few times to wear my thongs in public it certainly helped me build my confidence.

Same here. We go to Playalinda and I find myself more comfortable wearing my thong.

Love nude beaches but they’re generally hard to get to. Therefore the local textile beach is a lot more accessible.

Funnily enough, I’ve never sunbathed, nor worn swimwear at one. I’ve passed through wearing jeans and a tee. All of California’s nude beaches involve walking a bit… although I’ve also seen people bathe nude at quieter non-nude beaches too

I enjoy nude beaches. For me it is very liberating to be able to shed all my clothes and take a long walk. When with my wife at Playalinda I wore a g-string since she did not want to be nude. Wearing a gstring or thong at a CO beach, unlike at a textile beach, there is zero chance of offending anyone by being naked or nearly so.

I used to be part of a nudist group and used to have a really good nude yoga group which had a healthy mix of ages/genders. Some of the events need pre-booking but there are public events, such as 12 pm meet ups at the beach etc.
I kinda like the idea of a nudist lifestyle. Meaning you can just be free while at home and take of your clothes, even if not for the entire time, just going to the shower etc. Or while at the beach or designated places. But apart from that doesn’t have a big appeal. I mean having the option yes but I much rather be in a thong.
Given that most developed and non-backward societies you can wear a thong to the beach, if it is a nude beach I would appreciate the option of stripping off or be nude if that is what is required.

Some good content here. It definitely appeals to me as an opportunity to build confidence as these types of because I assume are more care free and liberal.
one thing I have wondered if the specific beaches in Europe that are labelled ‘nude’ is it considered bad taste to wear thongs or clothing in general?
The ‘clothing optional’ would be my initial go to that way a thong would be absolutely fine. And could even go for translucent or transparent when wet to fit in if it was primarily nude users
Never been to a nude beach in Europe but I’ll assume I’m not important enough to anyone there for them to care if I was wearing a thong or fully nude.

Don’t worry about offending anyone for wearing a thong at a nude beach. There are plenty of people covering up in different ways. They are at the beach for relaxation and perhaps the same exhilaration you feel for thonging is the same they feel for being nude.

Been to Playalinda many a time - planning to go next week if I’m not in the boat. You’re correct that someone in a g string at Playalinda isn’t abnormal at all. I do it frequently, or a thong, or micro swimsuits. Pretty much anything is comfortable at lot 13 and I would venture to say that men in thongs or g strings can often be openly admired by either sex at Playalinda.

I have been to lots 11 and 12 at Playalinda. Those areas will get a mix of nude, thong, topless, bikinis etc. I assumed the nudes are due to lot 13 being full. There are all sexes and even some children. Everyone well behaved and friendly. No one cares, it’s all good.
I’ve never worn a thong at a beach, most definitely due to my land locked location in Ut. But I went to a nude beach one time, not knowing it was a nude beach until we got there. But had I been with different company, (not a highly religious friend) I definitely would have gone nude haha but I’m hoping for another chance to either go in a thong or nude in the future!
I’m a very religious person and I go to the nude beach all the time! God made us naked in a garden lol. Ditch the clothes!
