List of social nudity places in South America


This is a list of social nudity places in South America used for recreation.

Nude beaches

This list includes topfree beaches, clothing-optional beaches and some resorts. Topfree beaches allow women to sunbathe without a bikini top or other clothing above the waist. Clothing-optional beaches allow either sex to sunbathe with or without clothing above or below the waist. A nude beach may also be an obligatory nude area, which means that both sexes are obliged to go without clothing above as well as below the waist.
