ALWAYS WANTED to introduce your genitals to direct sunlight? How else will you know if your junk has super powers fueled by Earth’s yellow sun?! Don’t forget your sunscreen, because here’s your summertime guide to skinny-dipping!
Breitenbush Hot Springs
A two-hour drive and a pay-in-advance day-use fee ($15-28 sliding scale) gets you into the happy hippie skinny-dip sanctuary that is Breitenbush. It’s a family-friendly facility with a focus on healing; in addition to hot springs access there’s free yoga, guided meditation, and hiking.
Creep Factor: No one is here to check out your goodies. They’re here to get centered, soak up the healing mineral waters, and sweat out their toxins.
Nudity chillness: Most folks opt to go dipping without a suit and no one gives a hoot about shrinkage.
Overall: 2 1/2 nutsacks. This place would be heaven on earth—if not for toddlers.
Pros: Delicious vegetarian/vegan meals are available at an additional cost. One pool is for silent enjoyment only (subtext: no babies). There’s absolutely NO cell reception.
Cons: There’s NO cell reception! Also, white dreadlocks are pretty much inevitable.
