About Costa verde

close to Arbus, has the biggest authorised nudist-beach in Europe, with roughly 800 meters of sand and dunes. It is a wild corner of Sardinia, with only one big hotel nearby

Legal context & local rules

Article 527 of the Italian Penal Code (Codice Penale) prohibits "atti osceni" (indecent acts) in public locations, though simple nudity without provocative behaviour is not explicitly criminalised. The Italian Constitutional Court's 2022 Decision No. 95 reformed penalties to emphasize administrative fines over criminal prosecution, moderately increasing legal tolerance.

Acquarilli

Acquarilli is a small, wild cove on the southern coast of Elba, in the municipality of Capoliveri, tucked into a horseshoe-shaped bay below the coast road that runs west from Capoliveri towards Lacona. It sits under steep slopes and is one of the island's better-known naturist spots; Elba has long been described as the home of naturism in Tuscany. The shoreline is a mix of dark gravel and pebbles with rocky outcrops, and patches of sand mainly towards one end. Rocks in the middle of the beach split it into two parts, and the nude section is on one side of those rocks, with clothed bathers using the other, so visitors should check which side they are on. The water is exceptionally clear, which makes it popular for snorkelling. There are no services on the beach and little natural shade, so you need to bring water, food and an umbrella. Because the descent puts many people off, it stays relatively quiet, though non-naturists do come down in peak season.
