Welcome to the best clothing-optional beach in the United States, Haulover Beach!
Haulover Beach has been mentioned in many top 10 lists of the best nude beaches in the world by numerous travel publications, such as Trip Advisor, The Travel Channel, CBS News, and more.
The weather at Haulover Beach is almost always phenomenal, and there are a ton of hotels within walking distance for you to stay at…
Haulover Beach Park contains one of south Florida’s most beautiful clothing-optional beaches–a 0.4-mile stretch of beach on the northern portion that draws people from all walks of life, from other states, Canada and a variety of other countries. Nestled between the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, it has pristine white sand shores, open ocean surf, various shaded picnic facilities, beautifully landscaped sand dunes, and concession stands. The beach is ideal for surfing as well as swimming.
Thousands of people come to Haulover Beach on a sunny day. Simply put, Haulover Beach is one of the best clothing-optional beaches in the world, as ranked by many online and print publications. As many as 7,000 people visit the beach in a single day. Because clothing is optional, some visitors remained clothed.
Although Haulover Nude Beach is only a small portion of the larger Haulover Beach Park, approximately 66% to 85% of visitors use the nude beach area. Therefore, it is quite friendly to people who want to go nude. Haulover Nude Beach is situated between the Intercostal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean and is part of Haulover Beach Park.

Our website has been proudly serving the community for several years now, and was created with one mission in mind. We wanted to educate people and give confidence to those who otherwise might be too nervous about trying something new (and a little scary!) like a clothing-optional beach.
Visiting a clothing-optional beach for the first time can seem intimidating beforehand. However, if you ask anyone who’s been to Haulover or any other clothing-optional place, they’ll tell you the same thing: You forget you’re nude after 5 minutes!
You’ll also ask yourself the same question we all asked ourselves the first time…
Why didn’t I try this sooner?
Life is short. Way too short. We’re here for a little while, and then we’re done. Why not try the things you’ve been curious about but haven’t done?
Haulover Beach is a public beach, so there’s no age restriction. You can bring your family, if you’d like. There are people from ALL walks of life who visit. All shapes, all sizes, all colors, all skin types, you name it. We joke that it’s the one place you can put a Democrat and Republican together and they’ll have more in common than ever before.
Once you strip off your clothing, you realize how much we keep covered up and how incredibly liberating it is to feel the warm sun on your body.
There’s a reason that this beach is consistently listed as one of the best nude beaches in the world. It’s in a picturesque location – South Florida. The weather is incredible pretty much year-round.
There are an endless number of possibilities when it comes to finding a place to stay. Our site has a map listed here where you can see all the hotels near Haulover Beach, their price range, and ratings.
You only need to bring a few things… We recommend bringing a towel or a chair, and a great attitude. Oh, and don’t forget the sunscreen. There are parts of your body that will see sunlight that may have never seen sunlight before, so you’ll want to protect yourself.
Why We Made this Site
We’ve worked hard to try to make our blog a great resource for people just like YOU. Several people who have experience with coming to Haulover and other clothing-optional beaches to get their input and advice. We’ve asked them to write about topics that we think are relevant to YOU, the reader. If there are questions that we haven’t answered yet, please don’t hesitate to get a hold of us via the contact form or on social media.
Not only that, but if YOU would like to contribute, we’d love to get your insight. We especially love hearing from first-time visitors, hearing what they think, seeing what they experienced, and sharing their time with others.
We’ve found that by helping to alleviate concerns ahead of time, it makes it much easier for people to just jump in with both feet.
The community at Haulover Beach is amazing.
The organization South Florida Free Beaches worked hard to get this beach established by the city of Miami as an official clothing-optional beach. Their Ambassadors work hard to make sure that they’re available as a resource for visitors to the beach. Please say hello to them when you see them, and thank them for volunteering.
This site was also created to help promote nudism, naturism, and family-friendly clothes-free recreation. Unfortunately, the Internet (and society in general) does little to distinguish nudism from sex. There’s nothing wrong with being sexual beings (we ARE human!), however just because we go to the beach to enjoy it without clothes doesn’t mean that we’re there to “hook up” or have sex.
People ask, “can I bring my kids to Haulover Beach?” The answer is unequivocally, YES! This is a public beach. There’s nothing “adult” about enjoying the beach without the restriction of clothing. We think that people ask this question because they think that this is an adults-only activity.
Absolutely not. Being nude on the beach is an activity for EVERYONE, regardless of their age.
We’re trying to educate people that nude recreation is for all people, and that it’s different from sexual activity. It’s one of the reasons we started the Haulover Beach Online Shop. Our online shop is filled with t-shirts, stickers, and other accessories to promote fun, family-friendly nude recreation.
The more people that learn about nudism, and the fact that people of all ages can enjoy the beach without clothes, the better! The more that society learns to accept nude recreation as a mainstream activity, the more chances we’ll have of being able to enjoy more clothing-optional beaches and pools in our local communities.
By promoting nude recreation, we’re making it normal. We’re removing the stigma fun activities without clothing. Did you know that when the Olympics started, competitors were nude? Today, that would be looked at so strangely… But why? Our attitudes on the human body have changed, and through this website we’re working to improve public perception.
Your Impact Through This Website
People like YOU have had a tremendous impact on this website. When we launched the online shop we didn’t know how many people would actually want to buy a shirt… Especially since they liked being nude. The concept is ironic. Selling shirts to people who like to be naked? Regardless, we’ve been able to raise money through this site that have gone on to help other organizations.
We did a fundraising drive for a couple of weeks, where we donated 20% of our revenue to help victims of a massive hurricane that devastated the Caribbean. Our website was able to donate several hundred dollars to AANR’s Hurricane Relief Fund.
Since then, we’ve donated to several organizations, including:
- American Association for Nude Recreation
- B.E.A.C.H.E.S Foundation
- Naturist Action Committee
Our newest initiative is with our Breast Cancer Awareness Collection of Haulover Beach gear. We’re donating 10% of all sales of these products to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
This is just the beginning. We look forward to continuing to help expand the nudist community, bringing in new people of all backgrounds.
