20 Massachusetts Beaches Dangerous and Disgusting for Swimming

Ugh, it's going to be boiling outside, and guess what? We can't even take a quick dip to cool off because bacteria decided to throw a beach party.

That's NOT refreshing at all.

Massachusetts beaches opened for the season, but bacteria levels went nuts.

It’s like they were waiting for us. One day, eight Massachusetts beaches are closed. The next day, it’s twenty.

Seriously?

ASHBY, MA

BOSTON, MA

CONCORD, MA

GREAT BARRINGTON, MA

CONCORD, MA

Can you believe the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation opened 81 beaches just before Memorial Day? What a tease! By the following weekend, the fun came to a screeching halt. Rainstorms washed all sorts of gunk into the water, sparking a bacteria fiesta.

Testing for bacteria varies from daily to monthly, depending on the beach’s track record. If a beach flunks the test, it stays closed until bacteria levels drop to safe standards. Swimming in these gross waters can give you nasty symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, sore throat, cough, skin rashes, and even eye and ear irritation. Mostly mild stuff, but kids, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems are at higher risk.

So here we are, sweating bullets and stuck on dry land, dreaming of the day we can swim without worrying about bacteria crashing the party. Massachusetts, sort this out! We just want to enjoy summer without turning into human petri dishes.

Is One of the Best Nude Beaches in the world in Massachusetts? Yes, we have one right here!

Hold on to your swimsuits! The world of sunbathing has taken a cheeky turn!

Yes, you heard it right—nude beaches are all the rage across the globe.  Yup, people are starting to embrace the philosophy of "less is more" when it comes to their beach attire.

In a surprising twist, even the most reserved nations have jumped on board the au naturel bandwagon. Who would have thought?

The continent has always had a special affinity for the au naturel lifestyle. From the classic beaches of France to the stunning coastlines of Greece, Europeans have been perfecting the art of sunbathing in their birthday suits for years.

It's as if they've mastered the art of combining haute couture and a complete lack thereof.

So, whether you're a daring trendsetter or just someone who doesn't like tan lines, it seems the world is opening up to the idea of nudist-friendly beaches.

Just remember to bring plenty of sunscreen, because nobody wants a sunburn in a sensitive area. Let's face it, the world is slowly realizing that sometimes, the best way to enjoy the beach is to let it all hang out, figuratively and literally.

Here are the top 20 Best Nude Beaches across the globe - and one is right here in Massachusetts!

According to CNN:

"Moshup is a long curving strand that wraps around a headline crowned by the historic Gay Head Lighthouse (built in 1799). Located right below the ancient light, the clothing optional portion lies beneath rust-colored sandstone cliffs that were declared a National Natural Monument in 1966. Moshup is open free of charge to anyone who wants to take their clothes off, as opposed to Lucy Vincent, the island's private nude beach. "
