Please don’t over look Wreck Beach in Vancouver, BC – Canada. While the beach is not exclusively gay, there is parts of it where we congregate. Beautiful natural setting at the base of a cliff. Beware the climb back up! Vendors are there to provide various food and “drink” options.

It is hard to believe you didn’t include Houlover Park Beach between Miami and Ft Lauderdale, Fl. It is about 50/50 gay and straight people at this “officially approved” nude beach. and at least half of the people on a typical summer day are nude – or more.
They are even listed as holding the largest “skinny dip” in Guinness World Records. Then after a day of fun in the sun, there are dozens of bars in Miami, Ft Lauderdale, and South Beach to party. What more could you ask for? Well you could wish for a place to slip off into the bushes for a quicky, but there are clubs and bars for that.

YEAH I agree w ak_cruiser……
Herring Cove is number 1? reallly? I’m kind of surpised but I’m also glad since I live close to the area so that’s cool.
I’ve been to other beachers that I’ve enjoyed more, but that’s probably cuz I like more people (Herring can be sparsely populated at times, but then again that can be a good thing..) and I like more nudity, take it OFF dudes!! Not everyone is nude, (well, not everyone should be either)
Also it’s true that Herring is a HIKE, literally. To get to the beach U do have to do some walking thru a winding path, thru dunes & the usual beach stuff..(like lube, etc, LOL) it’s not like you drive right up & get out of the car & you’re on the beach..but that’s a nice aspect about it too..you’re not visible to the road, parking lot, nothing but beach/dunes..walking paths..no cars going by,etc..so it is nice.

Most locals or people staying in town ride bikes to the beach & there is a place at the beginning of the “hiking path” where you can park & lock yur bike..it’s great biking around the area..awesome bike trails all over the Cape. (Cape Cod has tons of great biking trails)
I never see a lot of nudity there either. cummon guys, if ya got it show it..we don’t mind -
It’s also true that going off the beaten path may lead you to some surprises which can be really nice and HOT : 0
It can make the hike well worth it! I actually love to stroll along the dunes, catch the sights, meet friendly people..if you get my drift…wink wink..that can be real fun..can’t wait for next summer already! More fun in the sun and sand!~! Yeah..gotta luv the beach….I sure do..

Cassurina Free Beach in Darwin is Well Worth a Mention also

I am surprised Il Bucc Beach (The Hole), outside Rome, Italy didn’t make the list! Lots of naked Italian men (and gay!).

Take a 30-40 minute drive off to Uscita 27 (Exit 27 from the Racordo-Circumferencial Road of Rome). This heads to Ostia. From Uscita 27, take Via Cristoforo Colombo, then head for Castel Fusano by taking Litoranea. Litoranea is actually the park that is dedicated to the Pres. of the Republic and off limits to the public. However, along that beach line are also the public beaches.

There are 8 gates, you can choose which you want to take, all lead to the public beaches. Should you wish to go further, you will head for the Brazilian beach (famous for topless women) and Il Buco, the gay nudist beach as well.

y would you say top ten gay nude beaches when clearly not all of them are nude snd some mixed? doosh

 Particlarly Boring article and pictures. Layout appears to have been made for timid straight viewers.  Haulover near Ft. Lauderdale and Miami should have been on the list.  

You put semi-nude beaches in, but leave out a great gay nude beach at Haulover Beach between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.  It is one of my favorites

 We have been to Herrings Cove many a year but be very cautious as the Rangers do crack down and give out tickets. They have become more aggressive in their vigilance for any kind of sex. You will be arrested. They also entrap gay men by posing as tourists. I witnessed it myself. Unfortunately it is illegal and its not true that they will look the other way. I despise the attitude of the Fed. Gov’t and their ridiculous campaign to  make nude sun-bathing a crime. It’s too bad because Herrings Cove is beautiful. Go to Gunnison’s Beach at Sandy Point in New Jersey. It is safe, legal and a better attitude toward nude sun-bathing. Though they their is zero tolerance for any kind of sex. Yes their are straights but who cares?

had alot of sex on gay beaches

i like

Sorry, mate. But you’ve listed so many beaches where you have to dodge the cops. A nude beach should be, er, you know, NUDE. This is not a useful list, nor helpful toward liberation. 

Your list is dreadful and should be taken down.

I live in Wisc. Where i like to meet a Gay Person around the Milewaukee Area

beautiful scenery-beautiful guy

Neigther here nor there. Where is Gran Canaria Maspalomas dunes, french L’Espiguette, Playa del Hombre Muerte near Barcelona, Es Cavaletes at Ibiza – these all will easily beat  Provincetown, Copacabana, Baker Beach and Lisbon 

If you look good enough who cares?

You shouldn’t leave out the nude beach at Brighton, UK – a pebble beach but full of guys on a hot day, and men make out in the bushes behind or in the many gay venues in town.
