Are there cultures in which walking in the nude in public is not frowned upon?
Although some cultures are less prudent then others I have the impression that walking in the nude in public is frowned upon world wide. Is this a correct assumption?
I know that for example going to the sauna in some countries requires you to go full monty, whereas in others it is considered offensive. So answers mentioning nude beaches, saunas and other designated areas are invalid. I am simply wondering is you can walk on the street naked without getting into trouble.

Yep, a good friend of mine lives in Ghana. He says that, when out and about on particularly hot days, he meets Ghanaians who have neglected to put on clothes before leaving the house.

Answer 2
The answer to your exact question is "No"
"Street" imply an urban environment and, if you are above 10 year old, no such place would accept public nudity.
That said, you can find some remote tribes in Papua. I heard also about Mentawai Island(south west Sumatra). Once again, it would be deep in the forest. Not in the (relatively) cosmopolitan harbor.
In both case, I am pretty sure they would frown at a white guy walking naked in their village.
