About Valakampiai beach
Vilnius's city nudist area is part of Valakampiai II, one of two neighbouring Blue Flag river beaches on the Neris about 7 km from the old town, in the pine forests of Antakalnis. The zone was set up a few years before 2024 at the nudist community's request, slightly apart from the main beach, and is managed by the municipal company Grinda, which looks after the city's beaches. It has its own spot with benches, bins and warning signs announcing the nudist beach, starting some way before the zone. The river shore itself is a small strip of sand shaded by trees for much of the day, so the sand stays damp in spring and autumn; regulars have traditionally sunbathed on an adjoining mown meadow and used the beach mainly for swimming. In 2026 the city cut back the designated area sharply, leaving the meadow outside it and nudists largely confined to the bushes and a very small sand strip, which drew complaints. The main Valakampiai II beach has changing cubicles, permanent toilets, picnic tables, free barbecues and lifeguards in season.
Getting there
Valakampiai is in the Antakalnis forests of north-east Vilnius on the Neris, about 7 km (15 minutes) from the centre. City buses stop at '2-asis paplūdimys' for Valakampiai II; the beaches are also on popular cycle routes with bike racks. From the main Valakampiai II beach, follow the signs to the separate nudist area. Paths run through pine forest.
What visitors say
Regulars value having an official, signed nudist area within the city and describe a friendly community that gathers on the meadow in spring and autumn. Complaints focus on the shaded, damp sand, unclear boundaries, and, since 2026, the much smaller zone that leaves mostly bushes. A few passers-by have asked for opaque fencing to shield children, while most interviewed were supportive.
