BarryLaverty Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Please, please warn others of your intention to visit any of these beaches, some of you. You know who you are! https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/2-texas-nude-beaches-top-090000182.html 2 Texas nude beaches make the top 12 U.S. list. Is strutting around in the buff even legal? Ella Gonzales Tue, May 14, 2024 at 4:00 AM CDT·4 min read 173 As the summer heats up, Texans strip down– literally. Did you know there are six nude Texas beaches to choose from? Here’s what you need to know to choose wisely. If this is something that sparks your interest, you wouldn’t be breaking the law. In Texas, the indecent exposure law states that nudity is only judged as indecent if you expose your genitals to another for the purpose of sexually arousing them. Indecent exposure only covers genitalia, meaning women’s breasts are deemed decent. “If the exposure is not intended to arouse someone, then it’s not considered indecent,” according to Fulgham Hampton Criminal defense attorneys. The closest nude beach to North Texas would be Hippie Hollow Park, just under three hours away from Fort Worth. Located right next to Lake Travis in Austin, Hippie Hollow was No. 10 on Hotel.com’s list of best nude beaches in America. The only other Texas beach, that made No. 12 on the list, was UFO Beach in South Padre Island. For those who are not in Texas, there are only six other states that offer naked beach trips. Here’s the full list from Hotels.com list. Haulover Beach Park, Florida Little Beach, Hawaii Baker Beach, California Gunnison Beach, New Jersey Kehena Beach, Hawaii Collins Beach, Oregon Moshup Beach, Massachusetts Black’s Beach, California Playalinda Beach, Florida Hippie Hollow, Texas Kauapea Beach, Hawaii UFO Beach, Texas If you are against struttin’ around in your birthday suit, don’t fret.
