Naked and Desired

Two recent surveys placed Miami/Miami Beach among the most coveted destinations in the United States. But in only one of those rankings was lack of clothing an actual metric.

On the eve of this Saturday’s World Naked Gardening Day (May 1), LawnStarter released its 2021 list of Best Cities for naked gardening. Miami topped the survey—by a wide margin (nearly eight points more than second-place Austin, Texas). The methodology included factors like the legality of public nudity, nudist population per 100,000 residents, and forecasted weather on Naked Gardening Day.

Meanwhile, Trip Advisor released its 2021 Summer Travel Index, featuring the 10 most desired summertime travel destinations for Americans. Three Florida spots made the top 5, including Miami Beach at No. 5; Key West checked in at No. 4, and Orlando was No. 2. Topping the list was Cancun, Mexico.
