Nicole Na Praia De Nudismo Peladas — July E

Walking up to the beachside snack bar au naturel is the ultimate power move. July ordered two coconut waters and a plate of fries.

The vendor didn't care. The seagulls didn't care. The only awkward moment was when Nicole realized she had no pockets to put her change in. She just handed the coin back and said, "Keep it. Tip jar."

Nicole laughed so hard she swallowed a gallon of seawater. They floated on their backs, holding hands like little kids, staring at the perfect blue sky. For ten minutes, they didn't check their phones. They didn't suck in their stomachs. They just were . Eventually, you get hungry. And thirsty.

Location: Somewhere secluded, sunny, and clothing-optional. Vibe: Zero tan lines. Maximum confidence.

There is a specific kind of friendship that survives a trip to a nudist beach. It’s not the friendship where you borrow each other’s clothes (because, well, you aren’t wearing any). It’s the friendship where you forget you aren’t wearing any.

Last weekend, my friends July and Nicole decided to cross off a major bucket list item:

Finally, July sighed. "Screw it. We didn't drive two hours to be the weirdos wearing denim shorts on the nude beach."
