Looking to ditch the tan lines while soaking up the South Florida sun? You’re not alone! Miami-Dade County might not be overflowing with nudist beaches, but there are a few sunny spots where going topless—or even totally nude—is perfectly legal and widely accepted.
Let’s strip it down and explore where you can sunbathe au naturel during your next vacation to Greater Miami and the Beaches!
🌞 Haulover Beach Park – The Gold Standard for Going Nude
Located in North Miami Beach, Haulover is one of the most famous clothing-optional beaches in the U.S. It’s the only legal nude beach in Miami-Dade County, with a long history of welcoming bare-bodied beachgoers.
There are lifeguards, restrooms, chair rentals, and even a designated nude section clearly marked between lifeguard towers #12 and #16. It’s clean, safe, and incredibly popular—so don’t be shy while visiting Miami!
👙 Topless-Friendly Beaches (Men & Women)
In Florida, topless sunbathing is legal—but discretion is key. While it’s not uncommon to see topless sunbathers in more liberal beach areas, there are only a few places where it’s culturally accepted:
South Beach (Lummus Park Area)
From about 5th to 15th Street, topless sunbathing is relatively common. You’ll fit right in near Ocean Drive, especially on the sand just east of the Art Deco hotels. Enjoy tanning, then grab a bite or hit the clubs on lively Ocean Drive to wind down.
North Beach & 79th Street Areas
Less crowded and more relaxed, this area sometimes sees topless sunbathers catching rays in peace. We especially like North Shore Park Beach or Sandy Beach at Oleta River State Park for tanning your complete “upper parts.”
