Tucked away on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce, Florida, Blind Creek Beach is an all-natural haven that’s kept under the radar, mostly by those who know and love it. This barrier island refuge is one of the most tranquil nude beaches in the Sunshine State, perhaps partly because it is also one of the least known. If it’s serenity and unspoiled beauty you’re after, then Blind Creek Beach is definitely worth seeking out.
On a typical day at Blind Creek Beach, the ratio between men and women seems relatively balanced, with everyone in harmony, comfortable in their skin and respect for each other’s personal space. Everyone was naturally nude, indicating how this spot truly embraces the nude beach vibes. The beach is immaculately maintained, with no trace of litter to be found during our visit, a testament to the respectful community that frequents it.

Upon arrival, you’re met by a scenic expanse of shoreline, stretching into the horizon. The beach is primarily sandy, but patches of seashell-covered areas add a unique charm. The water, warmed by the Florida sun, provides a refreshing break from the heat, without the post-swim chill often experienced at more northern beaches.
The parking lot provides space for about 20 cars and doesn’t seem to get overly crowded, even on weekends. There are no marked trails to the beach, but follow the beaten path through the coastal vegetation, and you’ll find your way to this paradise within a 10-minute walk.
The most significant difference compared to other beaches is the quietness. Unlike Haulover Beach, you can’t hear the city or traffic buzzing at all, and any occasional noise is more likely to be the rustling of palm fronds in the sea breeze or the distant call of a shorebird. The tranquility of Blind Creek Beach is one of its most endearing qualities.
The beach extends quite a ways, providing plenty of space to choose the perfect sunbathing spot. The far end of the beach to the right tends to be more secluded, offering an ideal location for those seeking a little more privacy. In contrast, the central areas are typically more social, often attracting friendly groups enjoying the sun, sea, and good conversation. There are normally lots of first timers and families here, which goes to show how safe everyone feels at this beach. Volunteer beach ambassadors also help visitors, answer questions and ensure the vibe of the nude beach is respected.
As with many nude beaches, there are no amenities or facilities at Blind Creek Beach. Make sure you pack all the essentials you’ll need for the day and perhaps a sturdy beach blanket to lay on the sandy shores comfortably. The closest facilities and vendors are a fair drive away in downtown Fort Pierce, so it’s best to come prepared. Occasionally there is a hot dog truck at the car park on weekends, but don’t rely on that being there as the schedule seems to be very random.
Visitors start trickling in as the morning sun warms the sand, and by late afternoon, the beach can become quite lively. But even when busy, it never seems crowded thanks to its considerable length. With stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty, spending sunset here is an unforgettable experience. You can watch the sun dip below the horizon while enjoying the warm, gentle sea breeze.
Blind Creek Beach is highly recommended and one of the best nude beaches in the US. It offers a relaxed, less crowded alternative that feels a world away from the city’s hustle and bustle. The beach’s serene atmosphere and unspoiled scenery make it a hidden gem among Florida’s nude beaches. However, be prepared for a lack of facilities and amenities and a slight hike to the beach itself. If you appreciate nature, tranquility, and a welcoming community, you’ll surely love Blind Creek Beach.

Absolutely my favorite nude beach! Visited crowded Hallover and difficult to reach Black’s beach in San Diego. The appeal is the remote location on Hutchinson Island and no “civilization,” meaning those awful high-rise condos. Pretty much equal ratio of men and women as well as single men and single women. Perhaps I’ll see you here!
In my view one of the best naked beach I know. It is still kept in a very natural setting and the long beaches invite for very nice long naked walks. The nudists at the beach are always friendly and help for travelers like us. So definitely a 5 star for that beach. It can get busy on weekends and the large parking lot is full by midday.
Lovely Beach! As previously stated not a lot of amenities but the beach was clean the water blue and the people were respectful 😎
That place is the best place in Florida quite relaxing never busy
