Last month, we brought you the news that one Michigan beach was named the No. 3 best spot to skinny-dip in America. Well, as it turns out, that beach is also one of the best places to get your nudie on in the entire world.

Of course, don't forgot that skinny-dipping is not legal, so we don't think you should do it. But, this study claims that this beach in Michigan is a great spot to get your skinny-dipping on.

My Dating Adviser has put out its 2023 list of the top 100 places to skinny dip in the world. "Our study compared 100 nude beach spots across the following categories: beach quality, safety, weather, and hotel cost (with seven data points)," they explain in the story. "We then ranked the top 25 nude beaches globally, with the best location per country."

Before you hit that beach wearing, well, nothing, you should know the consequences. Michigan law states anyone caught for indecent exposure could get slammed with a misdemeanor and up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. That's a lot of trouble just to skinny dip. Honestly, some bikinis are so tiny these days, it's almost like skinny-dipping anyway, in my opinion.

So, which Michigan beach is one of the best to skinny-dip in the world? According to My Dating Advisor, it's Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's the No. 31 best place to skinny-dip in the world and the No. 3 best spot in the U.S. If you really want to get your nudie on and hit the best beach in the world for skinny-dipping, head to Lokrum Island in Croatia, a small uninhabited island. That's been named the best skinny-dipping location in the world, according to this study. Find the full list of the best places to skinny dip in America and the world here.

If you love beaches, then Michigan is the perfect state for you. Not only do we have the Great Lakes, but Michigan also has countless inland lakes, all with pristine sandy beaches.

That's one great thing about Michigan. You don't have to travel too far to enjoy a great vacation, especially if you're a "beach bum." Lots of people from across the U.S. come to Michigan to vacation in the spring and summer, including some of my friends in Florida. With that being the case, why not take enjoy the beautiful beaches we have in Michigan and plan your spring getaway or summer vacation right here in the Mitten?

Read on for a list I’ve put together of 25 (okay, it's 26) of Michigan’s best beaches. There were far too many to include, so I picked 25, but if you have a spot that you believe should be on the list, reach out to me on social media and let me know. One of my favorite spots on this list is Saugatuck, because my uncle lives very close to there off Lake Michigan. Not only does Saugatuck have incredible beaches for as far as the eye can see, but they also have a fun tourist town with little shops that are open during the warm months. A few other very popular spots are Grand Haven and South Haven. Both are on the west side of the state and offer ample public beach space.

By the way, here's some Lake Michigan trivia for you. Lake Michigan is the third largest Great Lake by surface area. It's also the sixth largest freshwater lake in the world. The lake has a surface area of 22,404 square miles, and its average depth is 279 feet. The lake's greatest depth is 923 feet. That sounds deep, but the average depth of the ocean is 12,100 feet.
