Over the last few years, my wife and I have visited nude spots across the country. Massachusetts is known for its history and sports but maybe it should be known for nudist fun. So what is available for Massachusetts nude beaches and Massachusetts nudist resorts? Massachusetts offers quite a few nudist options. While there are no official public nude beaches, there are several unofficial Massachusetts nude beaches. There are a few Massachusetts nudist resorts along with some nudist organizations that organize events for Massachusetts nudists. So let's take a look at what is available for Massachusetts nude beaches, Massachusetts nudist resorts, and Massachusetts nudist clubs. You will find that this state has nudist options both right here and nearby. They have come a long way in Massachusetts since the time of the Pilgrims Massachusetts Nude Beaches According to the website, findlaw.com Massachusetts indecency laws are described as “an intentional act of lewd exposure, offensive to one or more persons.” Examples of indecent exposure might include public urination, various types of nudity, and more minor public sexual acts. The acts can occur in public or private -- the location doesn't matter, merely the conduct." Of course, local jurisdictions may have enacted more restrictive ordinances, so be sure to verify that you are in the legal right before taking it all off. Basically, there are no official public Massachusetts nude beaches so you will always be taking a legal risk when bearing it all in public. However, there do seem to be a number of spots in Massachusetts where public nudity is reported to be accepted by authorities. This does not however guarantee that you will be safe from prosecution if you go nude at these places. You visit these nude beaches at your own risk. Below, you will find a list of some of the unofficial Massachusetts nude beaches. Personally, I prefer to go to Massachusetts nude resort so that I have no fear of running into legal trouble. Moshup Beach Aquinnah, Massachusetts A Martha's Vineyard nude beach that the locals seem to tolerate (go nude at your own risk). The nude section is reported to be just north of the beach entry path. Lucy Vincent Beach Chilmark, Massachusetts Another Martha's Vineyard beach that reportedly accepts nudity. You need a pass in order to access this beach so it is definitely not open to everyone. Longnook Beach Truro, Massachusetts A Cape Cod nude beach that is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Nudity here is technically illegal under federal law but is reportedly tolerated (go nude at your own risk). The nude section is reportedly about a mile north of the beach entrance. Herring Cove Provincetown, Massachusetts Located in Provincetown, Herring Cove is popular with the LGBTQ community. Nudity seems to be tolerated by local authorities but still going nude is at your own risk. The nude section is reported to be about a mile south of the beach entrance. Bare Ass Beach, Green River 799 Green River Rd. Colrain, MA This appears to be a fairly popular unofficial nude beach north of Springfield. It is reported to be popular with Massachusetts nudists of all ages. The best directions that I could find were posted by Reddit user Manthose3 who said "The swimming hole is .2 miles north of the address. Park anywhere you can where it isn't posted, usually on the right hand side of the road as your headed north." Once again, while there is usually security in numbers be careful when going nude at these Massachusetts nude beaches. Cummington Beach, Westfield River Located in the Chesterfield State Forest this unofficial nude beach is accessible from parking lots off Rt 9. Many users report that it is best to use the smaller parking lots that are a half mile and 1.3 miles west of the main parking lot. There are multiple areas on the river used by Massachusetts nudists. This area is reported to be mostly used by gay men during the week with more straight couples on the weekends. Once again this is an unofficial Massachusetts nude beach so go nude at your own risk. Naturist Nude Resorts in Massachusetts Massachusetts nudist resorts would be our favorite way to be naked in the Bay State.

Additionally, I prefer to be nude in Massachusetts without worrying about getting in trouble with the law. This makes the Massachusetts nude resort the most relaxing place to go.
