What Nanitch is

One honest map of places to soak, sweat, and swim in the Pacific Northwest.

Every spot tells you the things you actually need to know before you drive out there: whether it's legal, where to park, how far the walk is, what the water is like, and what a first-timer should expect. Some spots are swimsuit places. Some are clothing-optional. The map tells you which is which, and you choose.

Hot springs, saunas & beaches

Wild soaks, drop-in saunas, cold plunges, swim holes, and clothing-optional beaches — all in one place.

Two kinds of spots, always labelled

Some are written up by hand — how to get in, whether it's allowed, what to expect. Others are listed from public map data and nobody has been yet. You can always tell which is which.

Legal status & access

Whether it's allowed, the best season, live weather, where to park, and honest tips for your first visit.

No creeps

No private messages, no hookups, no nudity in the app, and active moderation. Newcomers are welcome here.

How to use it

Three steps. You don't need an account for any of them.

  1. Open the map

    Tap Open the map at the top of this page. Pins show hot springs, saunas, and beaches. Tap Near me to jump to where you are.

  2. Tap a pin

    You'll see the legal status, how to get there, where to park, the vibe, and what members have said about it.

  3. Go

    Take the directions link with you. If you've been somewhere, come back and tell us if anything has changed.

Using an Android phone or a computer?

The map is the whole app — nothing to install. If you want it as an icon on your home screen:

  1. Open the map in Chrome.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the corner.
  3. Choose Add to Home screen.

Safe by design

Clothing-optional here means ordinary, non-sexual nudity — the same as any European sauna or a quiet stretch of beach. Plenty of spots on the map are swimsuit-only, too. You go at your own pace, dressed or not.

  • Adults 18 and over only.
  • No private messaging between members. Ever.
  • No nudity in the app — every photo is reviewed before anyone sees it.
  • Report anything off, and a real person looks at it.

Know a spot we're missing?

It takes about a minute, and you don't need an account.

A moderator reads every submission before it goes on the map. If something on an existing spot is wrong, the same form is the place to tell us.

Made in the Pacific Northwest.

Free, honest, and built for people who just want to know where to go.
