Here are some peculiar yet delightful activities people have been known to engage in while embracing the au naturel (not including whatever weird stuff people do behind closed doors).
1. World Naked Gardening Day
Every year, gardening enthusiasts across the globe strip down to celebrate their love for plants and nature. Because sometimes, a rose just looks better when you’re nude. The official website appears to be wngd.org.
2. Naked Yoga
Believe it or not, practicing yoga in the buff is a thing. Participants claim it deepens the connection between mind, body, and spirit. No pants, no problem.
3. Naked Hiking
“Nakations” have risen in popularity, with enthusiasts trekking nature trails with nothing but their backpacks and a free spirit. It’s especially popular in Switzerland – in fact, so popular that they had to enact legislation around it.
4. Bare Bungee Jumping
Yep, some brave souls take the leap without any threads on. Talk about free-falling.
5. Nude Beach Volleyball
Sun, sand, and, err, serves? Many naturist beaches host volleyball games where clothing is optional. (Don’t Google search this one.)
6. Naked Dining
Some restaurants around the world allow patrons to enjoy gourmet meals in the nude (though it seems like they’ve all pretty much closed).
Paris is a notably nude-friendly city, so that’s why it’s somewhat surprising that O’Naturel, the city’s first and only all-nude restaurant, says it can’t find enough customers to keep its doors open. https://t.co/pt3onE1rDF

7. Skinny Dipping
An oldie but a goodie. There’s something liberating about a swim without the confines of swimwear.

8. Naked Bike Rides
Several cities host an annual World Naked Bike Ride event to promote body positivity and cycling as an eco-friendly transport option.
9. Naked Festivals
In some cultures, there are festivals where participants shed their clothes as part of the tradition, symbolizing purity, unity, or just for fun. And in one culture, a naked body part is celebrated.
Man, there were a lot of naked and high people at Woodstock! ✌️❤️ #Woodstock50 pic.twitter.com/8q5RVY7GNm

The list keeps going, but we got tired of looking at these people. Feel free to research this further at your leisure.
