Praia do Abricó , Rio de Janeiro , Brazil Located some 25 miles west of Ipanema and Copacabana in the suburban Rio town of Grumari , Praia do Abricó ( or Apricot Beach ) has been pop- ular with naturists since the 1940s . This is Rio s official nude beach , but distance keeps the big crowds away , making for a wonderfully peaceful vibe .
Gunnison Beach , Sandy Hook , New Jersey Nudism is officially illegal in New Jersey , but fortunate- ly Gunnison lies on U . S . land ( part of a fort once used to protect New York harbor ), allowing it to be the only official na- turist beach in the state . Since the 1970s it s been the New York City area s favorite clothing-free beach . 55 miles separate it from downtown Manhat- tan by land , but a twice-daily ferry runs in summer , making it just a 30-minute trip to nearby Atlantic Highlands Marina .
