Capri is a popular getaway island in the Adriatic Sea.  Like most islands in the area it holds more rocky beaches and cliffs than white sandy beaches.  But the towns are so charismatic that walking on hot cobblestones in the summer isn’t all that bad.  Find a big boulder on the beach and lay out on it.  The local crowd is always partying and the food is to die for.  If you want to stay where Jackie Kennedy stayed try out the Grand Hotel Quisisana; built in 1845 as a sanatorium, it will be a memorable vacation.

In Brazil, the smaller the bikini, the more acceptable it is.  Ipanema is the most famous of the Brazilian beaches, but go to Copacabana instead.  You get complimentary cabana service on the beach and if you stay at the Copacabana Palace Hotel you can practically roll out of bed onto the beach.

The Sun Coast or Costa del Sol is the most popular beaches in Spain.  Because they are swarmed with English tourists and all the new money in Europe, we’ve bumped it down on the list.  But this doesn’t change the fact that Estepona beach is beautiful and a serene sight away from the main strip.  For true naturists, two miles up the coast is Costa Natura, the only official nudist colony along this part of the Mediterranean.

  1. 8. South Beach, Miami, Florida

Known for having the hottest nightlife in the United States, Miami is home to the best topless beaches in America.  South beach has white sand, clear water, celebrities, models and perfectly tanned bodies.  Go clubbing, eat good food, and embrace the cabana culture.  Don’t spend too much but look into the new Shore Club Hotel.  Here it is totally acceptable to wear heels in your bikini while you stroll through the lobby.

  1. 9. Santorini, Greece

As we’ve gone down the list, the sites have taken on a little more of a part atmosphere.  Some like to just lie on the beach all day but if you want the nightlife and club vibes of the Mediterranean, go to Greece.  The free spirit of the people and towns will rub off on you.  Most clubs stay open all night until sunrise.  From there many of the people tend to go strait to the beach to sleep off the previous nights excess.
