Are you a member of a nudist colony?
If yes, you might be interested in the numerous nude beach destinations in Italy.
clipped from www.italylogue.com

Because Italy seems to be so dominated by the Catholic church, you might not automatically think that there would be a ton of nude beaches in Italy. But even though the Catholic homebase is in the country, and even though the vast majority of Italians self-identify as Catholics, they are also Europeans - and Europeans tend to have much more progressive views about sex and nudity than Americans do. So, while there may not be as many famous nude beaches in Italy as there are in other Mediterranean or European countries, there are definitely some.

Cheap Beaches you can afford~

Lol, here’s a collection of cheap beaches around the world.

Ocracoke Beach
Experienced world travelers will no doubt point out that I didn’t pick the cheapest of the cheap beach locales for this compilation of top budget beach vacations. After all, why not include Goa, India; Mombasa, Kenya; Lombok, Indonesia; Koh Phi Phi, Thailand; or Nha Trang, Vietnam? I agree, you can usually find a hut on the beach at those destinations for less than ten bucks a day; however, take into account the cost of a long flight and the luxury of time that most travelers don’t have and it turns into a much pricier endeavor. So, for practical purposes, I’ve limited my choices to the best budget beach vacations in North and Central America, with a special shout out to Brazil. Now you have no excuse not to lather on the lotion and throw down your beach towel.

Trat Coastline to Khlong Yai.
It is surprising that Trat is one of Thailand’s popular tourist destinations but its Mung District is just a small town. Normally, tourists will pass Trat Town and go straight to Koh Chang by using the by-path road to Ferry Piers.

Here’s a good collection of great beaches in Phuket Island, Thailand.
clipped from goseasia.about.com

With so many beaches to choose from, most of the best are crowded with tourists. The most popular beaches also have a very well-established tourism industry: vendors roam the beaches selling sunblock, sunshades, drinks, and ice cream, beachfront massage stands sell their services within sight of the sea, and restaurants serve patrons just off the beach.
