Have you ever been skinny dipping? It can certainly be a freeing adventure to take a swim minus the bathing suit. No judgment here if it’s a trend you choose to participate in. And this time of year, especially in this insane heat wave we are experiencing, may be the best time to give it a try. But if you’re going to go skinny dipping in North Carolina where should you go? Unless it’s your own private pool I’d suggest skipping the chlorine-filled waters. No privacy, and a good chance there may be cameras. But there are good places to go skinny dipping here.
Our friends at MyDatingAdvisor actually analyzed over 800 swimming locations nationwide to determine the best places to go for a naked swim. They ranked each of those locations based on 4 categories. These included beach quality, weather, safety, and the availability of accommodations. And in North Carolina, they came up with a list of 13 places for adventure lovers to go skinny dipping in North Carolina and shared those spots with us.
The list includes locations across the state from beaches to lakes in both the mountains as well as the piedmont. So chances are there is a perfect skinny dipping location near you. Or at least in a place, you’d like to visit. I’d personally recommend going at night, but I also realize many places discourage you from swimming at night due to safety reasons. Speaking of safety reasons here are a few tips to have a safe and enjoyable for you (and those around you) skinny dipping experience.
- Be respectful especially if there are children around. Some people may not want to see you bare it all and that’s ok.
- Make sure to use sunscreen!
- Don’t skinny dip or swim in general drunk.
- You probably don’t want to take photos.
- Have fun!
