Forget tan lines! From Santorini and Rio de Janeiro to Mallorca and Florida, here are the beaches you can visit in nothing but your birthday suit

Research reported by British tabloid Daily Mail, and carried out by the UK-based lingerie brand Pour Moi, runs down the world’s best nude-friendly beaches. The research involved analysing reviews published on Google to give each destination a score out of 100.

A beach in Florida takes the lead in this ranking as the destination that most delights beachgoers looking for a nude-friendly spot. At Haulover Beach, visitors can take a dip in the gentle waves, or catch some rays on the stunning white sand swimsuit-free. It also has many options for dining.

Meanwhile, a beach in Brazil—a destination often synonymous with bikinis—takes second place in this list of top spots for combining travel with naturism.

Head for the State of Paraiba, and to the Praia de Tambaba beach to soak up the sun with no need for swimwear. But that’s not the country’s only option, as Rio de Janeiro’s Praia do Abrico beach is another popular spot for going nude.

In Europe, several of Greece’s beaches feature in this ranking. In third place on the ranking is the famous Red Beach on the island of Santorini, praised for its stunning hues and the tranquility of this seaside site.

Other Greek nude sunbathing hotspots include Banana Beach on the island of Zakynthos (ninth on the list) and Paradise Beach on Mykonos (tenth).
