Legal context & local rules
Public nudity is permitted in designated naturist areas and beaches. Belgium's legal framework, governed by Articles 381-382 of the Criminal Code (indecent exposure), allows non-sexual nudity in designated spaces. However, unsolicited genital display in public areas outside designated naturist zones may constitute indecent exposure with potential fines.

't Vennebos is the naturist residence park and campsite of Natuurleven vzw, a family-oriented naturist association that belongs to the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It lies in woodland at Klein Opperstraat in Langdorp, part of Aarschot, where the Flemish Kempen meet the rolling countryside of Flemish Brabant, about 6 km from Aarschot town centre. The association's main activity is running its own grounds, which hold around 32 permanent annual plots alongside about 12 touring pitches and a few motorhome places with water, electricity and Wi-Fi. There is an outdoor swimming pool, and sanitary facilities are reported as very clean. Dogs are allowed. The association describes its aims as community without clothing barriers, body acceptance, closeness to nature and relaxation, and nude recreation is the norm across the site. It is a small, quiet site rather than a holiday resort, popular with walkers and cyclists, as it sits on the regional cycle-route network. The season runs from about 1 April to 30 September.

Athena Hélios
Athena Helios is a naturist campsite and day-recreation park in the woods at Meerbeek, part of Kortenberg between Brussels and Leuven. It is run by the non-profit Athena, a naturist association that also operates sites at Ossendrecht, Waimes and Ostend. The park covers about 5.5 hectares and takes caravans, motorhomes and tents on pitches with electricity, with a large share given over to seasonal and annual pitches; safari tents and a glamping tent are available to rent. Its main draw is a 25-metre open-air pool with a separate children's pool, which reopened in summer 2026 after repairs and attracted extra visitors during that June's heatwave. There is also a new sauna and a clubhouse with bar and terrace serving snacks and home-made spaghetti, but no full restaurant. Nudity is expected on the grounds. Many families with children come, and the manager told VRT in 2026 that anyone is welcome.
Athena Le Perron
Athena Le Perron is a naturist campsite run by Athena, a Flemish-rooted naturist association that also operates the Hélios grounds near Leuven and a park at Ossendrecht in the Netherlands. It lies at Agister, a hamlet of Waimes in the German-speaking East Cantons, on a slope at about 540 m that looks over the Warche valley, close to the Hautes Fagnes (High Fens) plateau and a few kilometres from Reinhardstein castle. The car-free grounds cover about 4.5 hectares, with pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, all with electricity, plus wooden pods and safari tents to rent. Facilities include two sanitary blocks (one under renovation in 2026), a clubhouse with bar and Wi-Fi serving snacks and pizzas, a heated outdoor pool, a children's paddling pool and playground with trampoline, and pétanque lanes; bread can be ordered in high season. Nudity is the norm on the grounds, which are family oriented, with children's activities in summer. Camping runs from April to September, and the pods can be booked all year. The altitude keeps it cool on hot days, and the area suits walking, cycling and, in winter, skiing. Dogs are not allowed.
Bredene Nudist Beach
Bredene's naturist beach is the only official nude beach on the Belgian coast. It opened on 1 July 2001 after years of campaigning by local naturist Jacques Deroo. It lies at the northeastern end of Bredene's seafront, right on the boundary with De Haan, well away from the resort beaches. Protected dunes managed by the Flemish nature agency (Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos) are behind it, and no buildings overlook it. The nude zone is a strip of wide, flat North Sea sand about 350 m long, broken by groynes, with signs marking its start and end. On hot summer days it gets very crowded, with up to about 1,000 people, many of them Dutch, German and Belgian regulars. Nudity is allowed only on the beach and in the sea, not in the dunes. In 2026, after complaints about sexual activity there, the municipality roped off the dune edge with posts and put up multilingual rule signs. A seasonal lifeguard post serves the naturist section. Sunbeds, parasols and windbreaks can be rented from a beach concession. There is no natural shade.
Brunat
Brunat is a small naturist club in the Brussels region and a member of the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It has no grounds of its own; activities centre on regular nude sauna and swimming sessions in hired facilities, plus walks, cycling trips and group weekends at naturist sites elsewhere in Belgium. New members sign the club charter, which stresses friendship and good humour. Contact is through the FBN website, as the club has no separate site.
