A beach popular with gay men in Italy has been named the world’s second-best spot for skinny-dipping. To celebrate summer, MyDatingAdviser.com has ranked 100 of the top skinny-dipping locations across the globe, for beach quality, safety, weather, and hotel cost. Spiaggia Della Lecciona in Tuscany, Italy, a beach popular with gay men in Italy, has been named the world’s second-best spot for skinny-dipping.

Spiaggia Della Lecciona has been a popular gay beach since the ’70s and is one of the region’s last free beaches, with no admission charge and no permanent deckchairs or umbrellas allowed. Situated on the banks of the Ligurian Sea, the Spiaggia Della Lecciona beach was topped on the list only by Lokrum Island in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Third place went to Maslin Beach in Adelaide, Australia.

With an average air temperature of 84°F and an average water temperature of 77°F, Spiaggia Della Lecciona seems the perfect Italian coastal get-a-way. The average cost of a hotel per night in the area is $185.

To determine the best skinny-dipping locations, MyDatingAdviser compared 100 nude beaches to determine the best locations to enjoy a dip au naturale. They then ranked the top locations according to: (1) pollution; (2) Blue Flag status; (3) weather; (4) air temperature; (5) water temperature; (6) safety; and (7) hotel cost. Using the data points, each location was given a ‘Skinny Dipping Index Score,’ representing the quality of experience that you could expect to have at the location.

Other notable gay beaches on the list include Baker Beach in San Francisco, Blacks Beach in San Diego, Hippie Hollow in Austin, Texas, and Little Beach in Maui, Hawaii.

Here are some tips for having a fun time skinny dipping:

1. Be respectful and have discretion. We agree the human body is a beautiful thing but give people the opportunity not to look at you if they don’t want to.
2. Don’t forget sunscreen and bug spray. You don’t want to get a sunburn in that spot that usually doesn’t see the light of day.
3. Don’t skinny dip drunk. A little liquid courage could help you get naked. But if you are completely drunk, it isn’t safe to swim and could land you in a dangerous situation.
4. Keep your eyes on people’s faces. Interact as you normally would and keep physical contact to a minimum. 
5. No photos. If only celebrities and politicians could learn this too.
6. It’s not a big deal. Get over yourself and have fun. Remember that not even swimsuit models look like that in real life. So, relax and enjoy being naked.
