TripAdvisor has put together a list of the top five nude events worldwide. They are as follows:

2.World Record Skinny Dip, across North America, July: This event, hosted by the American Association for Nude Recreation, made “largest number of people skinny dipping at once” a Guinness Book category. The number? More than 12,000.

3.Nude Beach Olympics, Australia, January: The games celebrate Maslin Beach’s place as first official nude beach down under.

4.Running of the Nudes, Spain, July: PETA hosts this event in Pamplona to protest the cruelty of bullfighting—runners, though mostly naked, don bull horns.
