So, you\'re keen to hit a beach, and let it all hang out. You\'re not alone. It is reported that annually more than 40 million people globally take nude holidays. "Naturism", being the preferred term for this type of lifestyle, is not new to our society and can be actually traced back to days of Alexander the Great, if you can believe it.Not only are there now nudist beaches, but entire resorts and towns like Cap d\'Agde in France where you can laze on the beach, wander the high street, and even do your grocery shopping - all in the buff.So, should this take your fancy, we\'ve located some of the top beaches to go kitless, to let it all hang out, and get that all over tan.1. Sandy BayYes, I may be a little biased, but apparently - this beach is glorious! The open white sand, and icy blue waters privately protected by those beautiful Llandudno-esk boulders are breathtaking. The water too.2. Plakias Beach GreeceThis little gem is found in Crete and dips itself over the cliffs and mountains of the island to extend into a golden sweep of tanning and snorkelling and is a good one for families, as the ocean is said to be gentle. 3. Valalta, CroatiaThis beach is 3 kilometres of both sand and rock beaches with perfect little coves for those wanting a tad more privacy. To top it off, the beach itself is lined with vineyards and olive trees. It\'s a big favourite amongst the connoisseurs of all things naked and beachy.4. Playa es Pregons Gran, Mallorca, SpainI lived on this island for a few years, and it most definitely is a little slice of heaven. And it\'s beaches are perfectly designed and littered along its striking coastline. This little beach is a little bay with the most perfectly clear waters - the type that just beckons you to dive into on those sunkissed days. This beach is tucked away, and also requires a bit a walk but with that comes complete privacy. A gem indeed.5. Samurai Beach, Australia.Gotta love the Aussies. This beach hosts the annual Nude Olympics. Yip. Believe it. It are true. It happens every year in November, so if nude torch relay doesn\'t float your.... boat..... then make sure to visit it outside of this month.So now you\'ve got your list for a naughty little naked suntan and swim around the globe. All we say is, remember to use sunscreen.
