Legal context
Portugal has a progressive legal framework permitting naturism at designated beaches and resorts. The Federação Portuguesa de Naturismo (Portuguese Naturist Federation, FPN) was founded on 1 March 1974, shortly after the democratic revolution. Portugal recognises and legally permits non-sexual public nudity in designated official naturist areas. Nine official nude beaches are designated across Portugal, including locations in the Algarve, Alentejo, and Ribatejo regions. No criminal penalties apply to nudity within these official designated areas.
