Sometimes it's better to head to the beach in your birthday suit instead of your bathing suit.

Nude beaches are around just for that reason, whether it's a hot day or the weather is cool or crisp.

MyDatingAdvisor published a list of the best places to go skinny dipping in the world. One Washington river made it into the Top 10, beating out some locations in Brazil, France, and New Zealand.

That honor goes to...

Washougal River!

Here's what writers had to say about the location:

"If you’re in Portland and want to escape the summer heat, the Washougal River is a great place to perch and picnic on the rocks while swimming amidst fast and flowing streams. Here you can jump off the bridge, explore rocky outcrops and the river’s edge. It’s a great nature spot where you can surround yourself with epic mountain ranges. There are lots of swimming options available along this river. During the summer months, you will find a lot of cars parked alongside the scenic Washougal River Road."
