22 Best Places to Skinny Dip ( according to CNN)

CNN might not be best known as avid supporters of the nudist lifestyle, but they've come up with a list of 22 of what they consider to be the best places to skinny dip worldwide. The post also contains a slideshow of of the dazzling locations mentioned.
Be warned! You might not need swimsuits, but you're going to need deep pockets to take advantage of some of the places on offer!
The locations really are worldwide, and include  Japan, China, Croatia, the USA, France and loads more. Dear old UK only gets one mention, ( Lady Falls, near Brecon in Wales) but I can vouch for this one as it's not a million miles from my home and I've used it several times. Unlike some of the others it's free to use, but you'll need to prepare yourself for the breathtaking coldness of the water when you take the plunge!
If you've used any of the places mentioned, why not  comment on your impressions?

Nude Beach Closures; Is Pirate's Cove next on the list?

Pirate’s Cove is one of the prettiest spots on California's San Luis Obispo County's southern coast, and one of the best nude beaches in the area. Up to now it’s always been a quiet, undeveloped spot passed over by the masses who head to Avila and Pismo.
That may all change in the next couple years as the county converts the area to a public park, complete with a paved parking lot, improved trails and restrooms.
Are we in danger of losing yet another fine beach?

Beaches at Fire Island New York no longer nude thanks to bad behaviour (and hurricanes.)

After hurricanes Sandy and Irene flattened the dunes on the Fire Island National Seashore, exposing beach views to the rest of the island, the National Park Service has decided to ban nude bathing because of the behaviour of some so-called "naturists".
Prostitution, voyeurism, exhibitionism, public sex and masturbation have all become problems at the beach surrounding the Fire Island Lighthouse.
Yet another nudist resource lost, and another stain on the character of the nudist movement, because of the actions of these perverts masquerading as naturists.
Sometimes, increasingly these days,I despair, I really do. . .
