Sexy beaches in the region

By Fay Gaffigan for Yahoo! Travel

We have to admit - nudist beaches and sexy sun spots are not the easiest to find in this region. But if you're looking to flaunt your wares, or if you're looking for some sexy time in the sun, here are some places you can head to and be sure nobody will run away from you screaming with their arms flailing.

If you're looking to do some topless suntanning...

Trikora, on Bintan might just be the answer to your naughty prayers. It's not exactly legal, but there's barely anybody on the east coast of the island you're better off sunning yourself there than anywhere else. Be warned though, the shacks on the east coast of the island don't have western toilets - they don't have automatic flushes. So while you work on getting a crisp shade of brown, make sure you can brave the bathrooms.

If you want to go sans clothing...

The people of Boayan are protecting the island from illegal fishing but going nude is legal there. Visit the nude beach on Boayan Island in Palawan province of the Philippines if you want to walk around in the nude. We won't vouch for the quality of people watching but the beach is breathtaking!

If you're looking to party on your birthday in your birthday suit...

Arambol Beach, in Goa, India is where you ought to be. Birthday suit-clad sun worshippers head North of Goa, where there are actually two nude beaches here, the larger and more frequently visited being Harmal. The smaller can only be reached by foot.

If you wanna head to the outback...

Perth's only nude beach is unofficial but there's no harm in heading out there. There are a few caveats, though, according to the folks at LifeonPerth.com: "The nude section of Swanbourne is a couple of hundred metres north of the family area. Mix these two up and you could be in big trouble! There is one more small thing. There is a live rifle range behind the dunes, so you'll need more than 30+ sunscreen to protect your privates on firing days."

If you're a gay man and you've been hitting the gym hard...

Hit up Bali Au Naturel in Northern Bali. Gay, but straight-friendly nudist boutique beach resort. If you're 30 and below, you get a promo rate, but if you're above the age limit normal rates apply. There's also Laki Uma Villa, an exclusive gay-only clothing-optional villa in Kerobokan Bali.
