Nude beaches in California

Earlier this year, the California Travel section of About.com opened a poll for readers to weigh-in on their favorite nude beaches in the state. Here are the Top 10 on their list as well as our recommendations for other things to do in those areas.

Baker Beach, San Francisco

Location: On the southwest side of San Francisco Bay, (away from this picture) ideal for picnicking, sunning, walking or fishing against the backdrop of the Golden Gate (though pollution makes your catch not necessarily worthy of eating).
