nudist
Bare-bodied believer
A nudist is a person who practices social nudity, typically at designated beaches, resorts, or communities.
The philosophy holds that nonsexual nakedness is natural and healthy.
As an adjective, nudist describes these spaces and practices: a nudist colony, a nudist beach.
The movement is also called naturism.
