't Vennebos (Natuurleven)
'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.
3 Bares Retreat
Adults-only clothing-optional naturist retreat in Koah on the Atherton Tablelands, about an hour's drive from Cairns. The property borders the Clohesy River and has flat, powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, an on-site caravan for hire, a camp kitchen, shower block, laundry, pool and dump point. Nudists, LGBTQI+ guests and curious first-timers are all welcome, and pets are allowed on a lead.
3VeNat naturist sauna meetings – Bobadilla Treviso
Naturist sauna afternoons held by the 3VeNat association at the Bobadilla wellness club in Treviso, alternating with sessions in the Vicenza area. Each meeting runs from mid-afternoon into the evening with Aufguss led by sauna masters, giving members and interested newcomers a regular chance to use the sauna together nude. Dates are published on the association's calendar.
3VeNat naturist sauna meetings – Gymnasium
Regular naturist sauna afternoons organised by the Veneto naturist association 3VeNat at the Gymnasium fitness and wellness centre in Montecchio Maggiore near Vicenza. Sessions run roughly every few weeks through the cold season, typically on weekend afternoons into the evening, with professional sauna masters leading Aufguss rituals. They are a social way for members and newcomers to enjoy a sauna together without swimwear.
AANUMA - Amig@s del Nudismo en Madrid
Non-profit Madrid naturist association that hires a heated indoor pool for nude swimming sessions roughly once a month through the winter, plus summer pool days, games afternoons and an annual December gathering. New attendees register with ID beforehand, and the venue address is shared only with registered participants. Activities are explicitly non-sexual.
Abessinien FKK Strand List
This is the naturist section of the west beach at List, the northernmost village on Sylt, known in guidebooks and on older signs by the nickname Abessinien. The List tourist office calls it the guarded FKK west beach and numbers it beach section 19. It sits on the open North Sea coast between the beach sauna to the south and a beach kiosk to the north, below high dunes in the protected dune landscape near the Ellenbogen peninsula. The FKK stretch is split into three parts: an unguarded nude beach, a guarded nude beach with lifeguards on duty in summer from 10:30 to 17:00, and a guarded FKK dog beach. The sand is fine and pale and the beach is wide, with surf and currents typical of Sylt's west coast, so the flag system matters. Compared with the busy Kampen and Westerland beaches it feels remote and quieter, and it is mainly used by couples and families who have come specifically for nude bathing. The beach sauna next door lets visitors cool off in the sea between sessions. A Kurabgabe (guest tax) card is required to use Sylt's beaches in season.
Acorns Naturist Retreat
A naturist campsite at Creacombe Parsonage Farm near Rackenford, roughly halfway between Tiverton and South Molton in mid Devon. Directories describe a level 13-acre site with pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes and a few mobile homes for hire. Guests can use a pool with countryside views, a sauna, a hot tub and an indoor social area with bar and games. Nudity is required in the pool, sauna and hot tub.
Acquarena Bressanone – Sauna area
Public pool and wellness complex in the centre of Brixen with a sauna area of about 1,200 m². It includes indoor and outdoor Finnish saunas (one on the roof terrace for around 40 people), bio and herbal saunas, a salt room, a steam bath, Kneipp basins and large relaxation rooms. The operator states that the sauna cabins and water areas of the sauna zone are used without swimwear, in line with the South Tyrolean custom.
ACT Nudist Club
Long-running nudist club for Canberra, with grounds and a pool just outside the city along the Kings Highway near Bungendore. Its by-laws describe it as a nudist club rather than a clothes-optional resort, and nudity is expected whenever practical, especially at the pool. The club has opened its gates for summer events such as an Australia Day pool party, and it has supported coastal naturist groups at events in Bermagui.
Ad Naturam – Spazio Naturista 3VeNat
Day-use naturist garden run by the 3VeNat association in the countryside between Venice, Padua and Treviso, set inside a lavender plantation. It has a large lawn, a swimming pool, toilets, shade and covered areas, and is aimed both at experienced naturists and at people trying social nudity for the first time. Self-sufficient motorhome parking and tent camping are possible on request. Lavender products and local honey are sold on site.
Adventurers Sun Club
A members' naturist club in eight acres of Kent woodland between Maidstone and Sittingbourne. The grounds have sunbathing lawns, a clubhouse, a swimming pool and a sauna, and the club describes its atmosphere as family-oriented. Like most British landed clubs it is run by and for its members, so visits are arranged with the club rather than offered as a commercial day-pass venue.
Ågesta Nakenbad
Ågesta naturistbad is a lakeside nude bathing place on the southern part of Lake Magelungen, just over the Stockholm city boundary in Huddinge, about 10 km south of the centre and close to the Ågesta outdoor recreation area and the Ågesta-Orlången nature reserve. It is run by volunteers from the naturist association EOS and promoted by Sveriges Naturistförbund, and is widely described as the only official nude beach in the Stockholm area. The shore is a mix of small sandy patches and a large grassy area for sunbathing, backed by forest, with a bathing pier into the lake. EOS runs a wood-fired lakeside sauna for about 14 people on several evenings a week in season, with a pier for cooling off between rounds; SNF reported 2025 sauna sessions drawing over 40 participants. Facilities are simple: tables, picnic and barbecue spots, play areas and toilets, but no changing rooms or showers. Bathing is nude, and clothed visitors are asked to undress or use another beach. The crowd ranges widely in age, and regulars know each other.
Agriturismo Re Piano
Agriturismo on 7 hectares of Romagna hillside run by an Italian-Dutch couple, with three apartments and a double room, all with separate entrances. Facilities include a pool, a spa with sauna and whirlpool, a wood-fired oven, barbecues and horse riding. The whole property can be used nude outside the peak months of June to September. Spa access without an overnight stay is possible by booking.
Ahlbeck Beach
At the eastern end of the Kaiserbäder resorts on Usedom, the Grenzstrand runs from Ahlbeck towards the Polish border at Świnoujście. About half a kilometre past the historic 1898 pier, the fine white sand becomes quieter and more natural, with informal dune paths, and part of this stretch is set aside for nude bathing alongside a section for dog owners. It is one of the best-known naturist beaches on the German Baltic, yet usually less crowded than the main resort beach.
Air et Soleil
Naturist club founded in 1931 with a fully enclosed one-hectare wooded park in the protected Buttes du Parisis at Franconville, north-west of Paris. Facilities include a pool, solarium, volleyball and pétanque, archery range, terrace, sauna, changing rooms and a clubhouse. The club prides itself on a welcoming approach for women trying naturism for the first time, and non-members can visit by appointment.
AKK Birkenheide - Vereinssportgelände Kallinchen
A family-oriented, non-profit naturist sports club of about 440 members whose roughly 12-hectare woodland and heath ground lies on Lake Motzen at Kallinchen, just south of Berlin, with a 775 m shoreline and several small bathing spots. Day guests can use the 'Sandberg' lawn and all sports facilities, and holidaymakers find a limited number of caravan and tent pitches and a guest cabin. The club celebrated its centenary recently.
Alfis Naturist Retreat
New clothing-optional caravan and camping ground in North Central Victoria, run by hosts Alan and Fiona and affiliated with the Australian Naturist Federation. The property was being developed through 2024 and was due to open in early 2025, so facilities may still be growing. It is aimed at naturists touring northern Victoria and the Murray region with caravans, motorhomes or tents. Contact the hosts for directions and current facilities.
Alpenglow Ranch Clothing Optional B&B
Alpenglow Ranch is a clothing-optional bed and breakfast and small resort near Bend in central Oregon, listed with AANR and the Clothing Optional Home Network. Guests stay in the house and can relax nude around the grounds with views toward the Cascades, using Bend as a base for high-desert hiking and hot springs trips. Booking ahead is required.
Alvord Hot Springs
A privately owned desert soaking spot at the foot of Steens Mountain in south-eastern Oregon. Two rustic concrete pools look out over the white playa of the Alvord Desert. The spring is on a working ranch, and a small fee covers soaking, with bunkhouse rooms and camping nearby. Soaking here is clothing-optional, and the remote setting is known for big skies and stargazing.
Aphrodite Village (Port Leucate)
Aphrodite is one of the self-contained naturist apartment residences that make up the Villages Naturistes of Port Leucate, on the Aude coast between Narbonne and Perpignan. Built in the mid-1970s, it is a large, car-free complex of low-rise apartments, studios and small villas grouped around courtyards, owned by individuals and let mostly by the week through owners and local agencies rather than run as a hotel. Units typically sleep two to four people and have a terrace; some upper-floor flats have a glimpse of the sea and views of Canigou and the Corbières hills. Shared facilities include secure gated access, free parking, two swimming pools (a lap pool open mid-June to mid-September and a relaxation pool open April to October, heated outside high summer), three tennis courts and a pétanque area, with shops, restaurants and the marina within the wider naturist village. The long naturist beach of Port Leucate is a short walk away. Nudity is the norm throughout the residence, pools and beach; the Leucate tourist office lists units here as part of the Aphrodite Village naturist residence.
Apollo Sun Club
Apollo sits in seven acres of Sussex countryside about eight miles from Brighton. It has a heated outdoor pool, a sauna, a large clubhouse and terrace, a barbecue and campfire area, games courts and a children's play area. Visitors can camp on tent and caravan pitches with electric hook-ups or rent the guest chalet, and the club welcomes first-time naturists as well as experienced ones.
Appartement Naturist
Detached design holiday home at Honthem near Margraten in South Limburg with views over open countryside, where guests can relax nude in private. It has a 12-metre swimming pool, a wood-fired private sauna, two showers and a terrace. A comfortable base for exploring the hills of the Heuvelland and nearby Maastricht.
Aquarius Naturist Retreat
Privately owned naturist grounds in Berrinba, about 30 km south of central Brisbane, for families and couples: 10 acres of mown lawns inside privacy fencing, with bushland and a creek. There are powered and unpowered caravan and tent sites, a shower and toilet block, a clubhouse kitchen, and occasional on-site rooms. More than twenty activities are on offer, including a swimming pool, pickleball, tennis, miniten, frisbee golf and a clay pizza oven, and monthly themed social nights are held.
Arbutus Park Club
A non-landed, family-oriented naturist club in the Victoria area, affiliated with AANR's Western Canadian Region. It normally holds monthly nude swims at a rented pool plus other social events, and runs clothed pre-socials where newcomers can meet members first. The club states a firm non-sexual policy. Its swim season has recently been reduced for organiser reasons, so check before planning.
Arcadia Romantic Getaway
Arcadia Romantic Getaway is a small, couples-oriented naturist retreat in the rural community of Arcadia, near Shelton in Mason County. The fenced six-acre property has gardens, a pool and a hot tub, and the owner screens visitors, so guests must call ahead. Day passes are available during a summer season that runs roughly from Memorial Day through September. Coordinates mark the Arcadia community, not the exact gate.
Arcadians of Greenglades
A family membership club in 4.5 acres of woodland near Billericay in Essex. Facilities include a heated swimming pool, a sauna, a pavilion and clubhouse with kitchens, a children's play area, and courts for miniten and boules. Social events run year-round in the pavilion. The club does not take casual visitors: British Naturism members may visit by prior arrangement and must show their BN card.
Archimedes Banya
A large multi-cultural bathhouse on the Hunters Point hillside in San Francisco, combining a Russian banya, a Turkish hammam and Finnish-style saunas, with a rooftop deck overlooking the bay. The owners actively encourage clothing-optional bathing. A designated part of the ground-floor bathing area is always clothing-optional, the whole banya floor becomes clothing-optional every evening after 6 pm, and some sessions are men-only or women-only. Guests must be 18 or older, except on family days.
Arizona Sunburst Inn
Arizona Sunburst Inn is a small guesthouse in Uptown Phoenix, close to the Melrose District, that welcomes men only. The shared areas, including a heated pool set among palms, shaded patios cooled by misters, a cabana and a hot tub, are clothing optional, so guests can sunbathe and swim nude. A handful of individually decorated rooms are offered and a continental breakfast is served each morning. Listings report it opens all year; confirm rates, room count and availability directly with the inn before booking.
Armands Beach
Armands Beach is a small clothing-optional beach in Armands Bay, on the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, about 9.5 km south of Bermagui near the hamlet of Barragga Bay in Bega Valley Shire. It is a short stretch of sand framed by rocky headlands and coastal bush, with a creek reaching the sea, and a travel guide puts the nude-designated sand at about 250 m. Bega Valley Shire Council declared it a legal clothes-optional beach in November 1993, and the NSW Government's visitor listing describes it as the only clothes-optional beach on the Sapphire Coast. It takes its name from Armand Lemmeric, a Frenchman who farmed the land behind the bay and swam there nude; nude cricket matches were reportedly played on the beach in the 1930s. The beach is unpatrolled and has no toilets or other facilities, and there is very little shade. A local nudist club, the Armands Bay Leisure Group, holds social events here in summer, and the crowd is generally small and relaxed.
Arroyo del Sol Clothing Optional Bed and Breakfast
Arroyo del Sol is a small clothing-optional bed and breakfast in a 1940s-style home on the Altadena-Pasadena border at the edge of Arroyo Seco Canyon. It sits next to a trailhead into the Angeles National Forest, and guests can relax nude at the house. It has been part of the Clothing Optional Home Network. Confirm current availability with the owners.
Artika Natura Suites & Spa Resort
Adults-only (16+) naturist suites resort in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, where swimwear is not permitted anywhere on the property. Around a dozen suites with kitchens surround a heated saltwater pool, jacuzzi and sauna, with a café-bistro and breakfast buffet. A free shuttle runs to the Maspalomas nudist beach, and the resort states clearly that it is not a swingers venue.
Ashdene Naturist Club
A member-run naturist club in the Calder Valley near Halifax that attracts singles, couples and families from across the UK. The grounds include a clubhouse, a swimming pool and a sauna, and there are pitches for caravans, campervans and tents as well as recently added camping pods. A regular programme of social evenings, from quizzes to live entertainment, keeps the club busy through the season.
Association naturiste de la Capitale-Nationale (ANCN)
A naturist association for the Quebec City region and a section of the Quebec naturist federation, promoting healthy, inclusive naturism. Its season runs from September to June with indoor nude swims at a rented pool, about eight outdoor Nordic spa evenings under the stars, board-game nights, brunches and nude yoga. In summer members join rallies at Quebec naturist centres. Members get activity discounts, and the free Coup d'oeil newsletter lists upcoming dates.
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.
Au Paradis Bleu
Naturist guest room for two in the wine village of Pouzols-Minervois in the Aude, with an independent entrance, private bathroom and large bed. Guests can use a pool, spa and outdoor jacuzzi, and book massages. Breakfast is served in the garden or on the terrace, and bikes can be hired to explore Minerve, the Corbières and the Narbonne beaches.
Auckland Outdoor Naturist Club
The Auckland Outdoor Naturist Club is a members' naturist club in West Auckland, tucked away in the suburb of Swanson. A 2021 television feature described its grounds as an oasis spread across about 26 acres, where members come most weekends and shed their clothes and inhibitions. Members include families with young children, and the club offers a relaxed, outdoor setting. Older histories of New Zealand naturism list the club among the larger clubs that have offered monthly entertainments, spa and sauna facilities and powered campsites, but those accounts are dated and the current facilities could not be confirmed in the sources we could open. The club's own website did not appear in the results. The New Zealand Naturist Federation lists naturist clubs by region, and the Auckland listing is the place to confirm the club's current status.
Aurore Plage Nature
Quiet family naturist ground at Le Rocher Saint-Martin in Ceaulmont, a few kilometres from the Brenne regional park, giving access to a clear lake with its own small beach. Visitors can pitch a tent, park a motorhome or rent a caravan. Games and beach tables are provided, and the atmosphere is friendly and informal.
Autrement, lieux de pause
Four holiday houses in the hamlet of Quelvezin at Carnac that can be booked individually or together, between countryside and sea. Listed by the FFN as a partner offering a discount to licence holders, the gîtes are 3 km from Sainte-Barbe beach and close to the Carnac megalith alignments. They suit couples, families or groups of friends who want proximity while keeping some privacy.
Autumn Farm
Autumn Farm is a privately run, clothing-optional retreat on Central Takaka Road on the edge of Tākaka, the main town of Golden Bay at the top of New Zealand's South Island. It has operated since 1984 and is best known as a queer venue: most guests are gay and bisexual men, though the farm says naturists, pansexual and queer-friendly visitors are welcome too. Accommodation is spread through a garden of about 1.2 hectares (3 acres) and ranges from a lodge and rustic cabins to a dormitory and a campground. All bathrooms are shared, with composting toilets, solar-heated water and well water on tap; there is a swimming pool and an outdoor bush bath that is a social focus in the evenings. Guests can self-cater or book a shared dinner. Clothing is optional across the property, and in practice nudity is most common in the warm months from December to March. The busiest periods are its themed weeks, such as the long-running New Year Summer Camp and a Naked Week in late January, which in 2025-26 ran from 27 December to 3 January and 24 January to 1 February. The venue is open all year and can also be hired for private events. Pets are not allowed.
Aux Dômes Auverg'Nats
Naturist bed and breakfast in Buron, a hill village south-east of Clermont-Ferrand, offering two 50 m² rooms for up to four people, each with a private terrace and a view of the Chaîne des Puys. A common room with fireplace and billiards encourages guests to mix, and in summer there is an outdoor shower and pool. Californian massage is available, and Lac Chambon is nearby.
Aux Portes de la Garrigue
Naturist bed and breakfast in the Vaunage area of the Gard run by Olivier and Antoine. Two elegantly decorated double rooms share a bathroom and toilet. Guests can relax nude in the lounge, on a large unoverlooked terrace and in the jacuzzi. A home-cooked table d'hôte dinner made with fresh produce is available, and the surrounding vineyards are well known.
Avalon Resort
Avalon is a privately owned clothing-optional resort near Paw Paw in Hampshire County, in the mountains of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, about two hours west of Washington, D.C. It was founded around 1995 by Phyllis and Patrick Gaffney, who still run it, and celebrated its 30th anniversary with a gala in 2025. A 2025 newspaper feature reprinted by AANR gives it about 250 rolling acres; listings elsewhere give smaller figures. Accommodation ranges from open tent camping and RV sites to bunkhouses, cabins, lodge rooms and rental condos, and some members live on site year-round; an adjoining development, Somerset, is a separate clothing-optional community. Facilities include an indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, hot tubs, saunas, a fitness room, a restaurant and bars, pickleball courts, hiking and jogging trails, a library with a naturism section, a community garden and a memorial orchard. Nudity is the norm but clothing is optional; public sexual activity and photography in common areas are banned. The crowd is mostly older couples, many retired from military or government jobs, with some families. It also hosts Avalonfest, a music and crafts festival in August.
Avatan Family Nudist Campground
Avatan is a member-run family nudist club and campground in East Bethel, about 30 minutes north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and calls itself Minnesota's largest and oldest nudist club, operating since 1961. It occupies about 40 acres of rolling woodland and is a state-licensed campground affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation. Facilities include a large pool, a kids' pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a clubhouse, a playground, volleyball, pétanque and horseshoe courts, an RC car raceway, walking trails and an off-leash pet area. Visitors can come for the day or stay in cabins, on RV sites with hookups or on tent sites. The season runs from May through September. Clothing is optional across most of the grounds, but nudity is required in the pool area. Every guest and member must pass a background check before admission, first-time visitors take a guided tour of the grounds in the nude, and photography and video are banned, with removal for anyone who breaks the rule. The club stresses a non-sexual, family atmosphere.
Avonvale Sun Club
A members' club in 4.5 acres of semi-natural ancient woodland inside the New Forest National Park, near Ringwood. Facilities include a clubhouse with conservatory and wood-burning stove, a wood-fired sauna, a heated outdoor pool, petanque terrains and two miniten courts. Founded in the early 1960s, it is family friendly and open all year to members, with winter sauna evenings.
AZULIK Tulum
AZULIK is an adults-only eco-luxury hotel on the beach road south of Tulum town on the Riviera Maya, known for villas built in organic shapes from local wood and vines. Electricity and artificial light are deliberately limited, and Wi-Fi is restricted. It is not a naturist resort: it is a mainstream boutique hotel that has a reputation for tolerating nudity. A 2026 Mexican travel guide says nudity is allowed on its private beach and in designated spa areas, and booking listings describe the property as clothing optional, while the guide advises guests to wear light clothing in the restaurants. The hotel's own website does not mention nudity at all, so the policy is informal and may change. The group also runs AZULIK Uh May, a jungle arts centre inland. Tulum's coastal ruins and the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve are nearby.
B&B Agriverde Club
Countryside B&B and farm club in the Salento plain about 3 km from the Adriatic, with rooms and chalets for two to four people in a 20,000 m² park. It has a children's playground, a wellness area and a pool, where full nudity is permitted. Motorhomes can stay with electric hook-up. It is a mixed facility rather than a purely naturist one.
B&B and Wellness Il Pomario di Montepiglio Resort Naturista
Country house B&B in the Mediterranean scrub of south-western Umbria near Amelia, with three bedrooms, a patio with sun terrace, a wellness area and a pool. The solarium terrace, wellness zone, massages and treatments can all be enjoyed nude. It is a small, quiet property suited to couples and small groups.
B&B Borgo Corniola
Naturist bed and breakfast and spa in a restored stone hamlet in the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines between Florence and Faenza. Guests can relax by the fireplace, use the Finnish sauna and cool off afterwards in the stream that runs past the property. It is a quiet, adults-oriented retreat surrounded by wooded hills, best suited to people looking for a slow, nature-centred naturist break rather than a busy resort.
B&B Etneo
Bed and breakfast on the slopes of Mount Etna in Belpasso, the 'town of 100 sculptures', that welcomes both textile and naturist guests. Naturist lunches and dinners can be arranged from an à la carte menu. It sits in a quiet residential building with parking and laundry, and the sea, the volcano and nearby towns are all a short drive away.
B&B Mondo Selvaggio – SPA – Restaurant
Naturist-run B&B in the hills above Bagni di Lucca, with rooms for up to about ten guests looking over woods and mountains. Much of the property can be enjoyed nude, including a Finnish sauna, a wood-fired hot tub, a jacuzzi and a solarium, and themed Aufguss days are held. Guests may also pitch their own tent on the grounds, and communal dinners are offered. Lucca is around 20 minutes away and the sea about 45.
B&B Physis Naturist Accommodation
Naturist bed and breakfast in western Sicily near Mazara del Vallo, part of the Sicilia Naturista network. It is run by the same hosts who organise naturist sailing cruises, and guests who combine a stay with a cruise receive extra discounts. The location gives access to the beaches and nature reserves of the Trapani coast, and discounts apply for INF-FNI members, longer stays and groups.
Badesee Rodgau
The Rodgau-See is a former gravel pit on the edge of Nieder-Roden, a district of Rodgau in the Landkreis Offenbach south-east of Frankfurt. It is fed mainly by groundwater, reaches about 35 m depth and is known for clear water. Bathing is only allowed inside the fenced Strandbad on the east shore, which the city of Rodgau has run as a public facility since 1976 and which can draw up to 300,000 visitors a season. The city's bathing bylaw divides the Strandbad into a textile beach and a nude beach that are physically separated, and it forbids staying clothed in the FKK grounds. Visitors describe the nude section as the larger of the two, with more sand and lawn, its own showers and toilets, a snack stand and a volleyball court. Swimmers use floating platforms out in the lake; the textile side has the main kiosk terrace and a small playground. Lifeguard cover is provided by the DLRG. It is an established mainstream lido, so expect a mixed local crowd of families, couples and older regulars rather than a remote naturist spot, and busy weekends in hot weather.
Badi Tiefenbrunnen
Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen is one of the City of Zurich's summer lake baths, set in parkland on the right (eastern) shore of Lake Zurich at Bellerivestrasse 200, a few minutes from the city centre near the Zürichhorn. It is a classic Swiss 'Badi': lawns, a lake section for non-swimmers, a children's paddling pool, diving boards at 1, 3 and 5 metres, a 62-metre lake slide, a restaurant and a tea pavilion with a terrace. Nudity is limited to a separate area: above the changing rooms are FKK sun terraces divided by sex, one for men and one for women. These are for sunbathing only. Swimming in the lake happens from the mixed area, where swimwear is required, and one reviewer has criticised the men's terrace for being basic and having no direct lake access. It suits visitors who want a nude sun deck within a full-service city lido rather than a natural nude beach. Entry is paid, with day tickets, multi-entry cards and season passes. The bath is open in summer only and, according to the 2026 listing, is closing for renovation after the 2026 season, with reopening provisionally set for May 2027.
Bagby Hot Springs
Bagby Hot Springs lies in old-growth forest beside Hot Springs Fork, a tributary of the Clackamas River, in Mount Hood National Forest about 40 miles southeast of Estacada. Three main springs and several seeps rise here, the largest flowing at about 138F, and the water is carried by wooden flumes into hand-hewn cedar log tubs. The lower bathhouse has three log tubs and a six-foot round tub in a shared setting, and an upper deck holds another round tub; soakers fill a tub with hot water and cool it with cold water, then empty it for the next person. After years of closures following wildfire, road damage and problems under a previous concessionaire, the site is now run by Bagby Preservation, a small local operator that collects a modest soaking fee and is restoring the bathhouse, with new cedar tubs on order. Nude soaking has a long tradition here and many guides still list Bagby as clothing optional, but the Forest Service page states that public nudity is not allowed, so bring a swimsuit. The trail is an easy walk through big cedars and firs, crossing two bridges. Expect long waits for tubs at weekends.
Bagni di Petriolo free thermal pools
Bagni di Petriolo sits on the Farma torrent between Siena and Grosseto, where sulphurous hot water from the old spa spills into a string of free open-air pools on the riverbank. One set of pools takes fresh river water and stays textile, while the thermal pools fed from the spa above are used almost only by nude bathers. There is no entry fee and no services at the pools themselves, so bring water and shoes for the rocks, and keep clear of the road bridge and the hotel grounds.
Baiersdorf: Ausee & Angersee
Two flooded gravel pits at the Baiersdorfer Mühle, just south of Baiersdorf and a few kilometres north of Erlangen, lying in the flat Regnitz valley between the river and the Main-Danube Canal. The town of Baiersdorf runs the area as a public recreation ground. The northern lake, the Ausee, is the bathing lake; the southern Angersee belongs to the local angling club and its water surface is excluded from the recreation area, so swimming there is not permitted. The nude area is a marked lawn on the far western shore of the Ausee, reached by walking around the lake from the entrance. Elsewhere a sandy, man-made beach on the southern shore draws families with small children. The ground is mostly open grass with some trees, and the lakes are fairly small, so on hot weekends the whole site gets busy. Water quality is generally good, but the Ausee has had recurring blue-green algae episodes (a bathing ban in 2004 and a city warning in 2020), so check notices before swimming. Dogs, tents, open fires and loud music are banned under the town bylaw.
Baker Beach
Baker Beach is a roughly half-mile sweep of sand in the Presidio on San Francisco's western shore, running south from Golden Gate Point, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area run by the National Park Service. The far northern end, closest to the Golden Gate Bridge and below the serpentine bluffs, is where clothing-optional sunbathers traditionally gather; the National Park Service itself notes this. The rest of the beach is a mixed public beach used by families, dog walkers, photographers and picnic groups, so the dividing line matters: nude visitors keep to the north end and cover up before walking back toward the parking lot and picnic area. The beach has coarse sand, cold water and a big Pacific swell, with strong undertow and rip currents that make swimming unsafe. The view of the bridge from the nude end is one of the best in the city. Historic Battery Chamberlin, a 1904 coastal gun battery, sits behind the beach, and the north end was the original site of Burning Man from 1986 to 1990. Fog is common in summer; the warmest, clearest days tend to come in September and October.
Baker Hot Springs
A primitive rock-and-sand pool in the forest of Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest north of Concrete. It is reached by a short, gentle trail from the end of Forest Road 1130. The warm, slightly sulphurous water bubbles up through the gravel bottom. Guides describe it as clothing-optional in practice: nudity is common, though it depends on who is there. The access road is rough and may be gated or snowbound in winter.
Balatonberény Naturist Beach
Balatonberény's naturist beach lies at the western end of Lake Balaton's south shore, at Hétvezér utca 2 on the west side of the village, about 700 m from the centre and railway station. It is a fenced, ticketed lido run by Balatontourist next to the Berény naturist campsite, and is now Hungary's leading organised naturist site on the lake since Balatonakali closed. Instead of sand, it is a landscaped lawn screened by reed beds, with a large circular sunbathing pier that the municipality calls the biggest built on Balaton. The water is shallow, typical of the south shore, and is entered by an accessible path and wide, low steps. Facilities are extensive for a beach: free sunbeds, benches and sun sails, a playground, beach volleyball, minigolf, table tennis and an outdoor gym, plus a restaurant and bar, sauna and massage. It holds a five-star Blue Flag rating. Families are explicitly catered for, with family tickets, a baby-changing room and children's animation in high season. Most guests are from abroad.
Bali au Naturel
Bali au Naturel is a small, gay-run, clothing-optional beachfront resort on the remote north coast of Bali, near Tejakula in Buleleng regency. It is a quiet, secluded property set in a landscaped garden, with pool cabins rather than a large hotel block. The main facilities are two swimming pools, a whirlpool, a gym and a restaurant, which reviewers say only recently opened. Nudity is allowed across the grounds, while clothing is required on the beach. The sea here is good for snorkelling and diving directly off the beach, and the resort can arrange massage and fishing-boat trips to see dolphins. Guests come mainly from the gay community, though women and straight men also visit. The resort is far from the tourist centres of Ubud and Denpasar, and visitors need their own transport to explore further. Reviews are mixed: long-stay guests praise the staff and the calm beach, while a 2023 reviewer found the rooms in need of upkeep. Pets are not allowed, and guests must be 21 or over.
Baños de Elvira (nudist sessions)
Arab-style bathhouse (hammam) at the foot of the Albaicín in central Granada, with warm, hot and cold pools and a steam room. On the first and third Tuesday of each month its sessions are reserved for nude bathing, making it one of the few regular nude spa options in Andalusia.
Bar-S-Ranch
Bar S Ranch is a privately run clothing-free resort on a former cattle ranch in the hills outside Reidsville, in Rockingham County, north of Greensboro. Its 2026 season was its 37th, so it dates from about 1990. The property covers about 300 acres of woods and meadows with a seven-acre stocked lake for fishing and miles of trails for hiking, biking and golf carts. Many members own cabins along the road and in an area called The Meadow, and a press feature reported 26 cabins rented year-round; visitors can use an RV park in The Woods with water and electric hookups or pitch a tent. There is a pool near the clubhouses, a large clubhouse used for parties, potlucks, ping pong and pool, and a smaller clubhouse with a member-maintained kitchen, air-conditioned TV area and Wi-Fi. The ranch's members come mostly from the Triad and Triangle cities. It is a rustic, social place rather than a polished resort, and the office keeps seasonal hours, closing for the winter.
Bare Acres Retreat
Bare Acres Retreat is a small, private clothing-optional campground near Livonia in Putnam County, in the quiet farm country of northern Missouri close to the Iowa line. It offers grassy tent sites and a few RV spots, and the emphasis is on low-key community meals and evenings around the campfire rather than resort facilities. Space is limited, so reservations are required. Confirm the house rules and who is welcome, whether couples, singles or families, before visiting.
Bare Creek Bed & Breakfast
A small clothing-optional bed and breakfast in a quiet rural corner of Surrey, within easy reach of Vancouver's sights and shopping. Nudity is welcome throughout the indoor spaces and in privacy-screened outdoor areas, and there is a lounge for reading or conversation. It describes itself as the only clothing-optional accommodation in Surrey and currently lets a single guest room.
Bare Fun in the Sun
A small boutique clothing-optional retreat on the Galveston Bay side of Bacliff, between Houston and Galveston. It caters to adults aged 25 and over, with a heated and chilled pool, hot tub, water volleyball and outdoor lounging areas, plus a handful of overnight rooms. Day passes are sold for daytime hours, and the resort runs themed weekend events through the year. It is an intimate alternative to the larger Texas nudist parks.
Bare House Cottage
Bare House Cottage is a clothing-optional guesthouse at Poleo Creek near Coyote, bordering the Santa Fe National Forest about half an hour from Abiquiu Lake. It shares a deck with a sister rental, the Tree House Coyote Cottage, which has its own sauna, and guests should expect others to be nude. The area is remote, with the nearest store and restaurant around 40 miles away. Coordinates mark Coyote village.
Bare Mountain Retreat
Bare Mountain Retreat is a family-oriented nudist club on 130 private acres of hillside in the foothills north-east of Boise, reached by Rocky Canyon Road about half an hour from the city. It has operated continuously since 1981 and is affiliated with AANR and its Northwest region. The setting is open sagebrush mountain country, about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Boise in summer, with daytime highs typically between 75 and 95°F and cool nights. A network of hiking trails crosses the property, including a climb to the top of Bare Mountain with views over the surrounding ranges. Facilities are simple: a clubhouse, a pool opened in July 2021 that doubles as a water-volleyball court, a hot tub, a fire pit for evening gatherings, and themed dinners and potlucks. Visitors can camp in tents, stay in a dry RV site, or rent one of two small cabins. There is no drinking water on site, so bring your own; bottled water is sold. Nudity is required in the pool and hot tub, and clothing is optional elsewhere. The club stresses that it is not a singles venue and does not tolerate sexual behaviour or unwanted advances. Children are welcome under their parents' supervision.
Bare Necessities Naturist Retreat
Bare Necessities is a small, privately run naturist farm stay in the Overberg countryside near the village of Suurbraak, east of Swellendam in the Western Cape, roughly halfway between Cape Town and George. It sits on a working smallholding (older listings mention a small dairy making its own cheese) with mountain views towards the Langeberg and the Tradouw Pass. Accommodation is limited: two en-suite rooms, each with a kitchenette, plus a converted bus known as 'Da Bus' about 100 m away with its own kitchen and bathroom, and a handful of campsites. Every unit has a private patio and braai facilities. Shared facilities include a solar-heated pool, a sauna and hot tub, an outdoor fireplace, a pool table and darts, and walking trails across the property; there is no restaurant, so guests self-cater. The retreat accepts naturists only and expects guests to be clothes-free in shared areas when the weather allows, following the codes of conduct of the Western Cape Naturist Association and the South African National Naturist Association. Its own website sums up the policy as 'where clothing free rules'. All ages are welcome and pets can be brought by arrangement.
Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park
Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is a year-round naturist park in East Gwillimbury, about an hour north of Toronto, set on 50 acres of the Oak Ridges Moraine within Ontario's Greenbelt. Roughly 19 acres are conservation land and 13 acres untouched forest, with two ponds, a small spring-fed lake, streams and a river. It is a member of the Federation of Canadian Naturists and AANR. The park is explicit that it is not clothing-optional: clothing is worn only for protection, and never when swimming or using the sauna, whirlpool or showers, though first-timers may stay covered while they adjust. Facilities include a solar-heated outdoor salt-water pool, dry and steam saunas, an indoor whirlpool and the Bare Bistro restaurant. The clubhouse holds the office, a store, lounge, sun deck, exercise room, library, laundromat and the New Forest event hall, plus five guest rooms. There are five cabins and more than 100 campsites, most with water and 30-amp power and some with sewer. Activities include volleyball, petanque, mini-golf, table tennis, billiards, canoeing, yoga, walking and cycling, and a children's playground. Families are a central part of its identity.
Bare RV Resort
A clothing-optional RV resort and campground on Caliente Boulevard in Land O' Lakes, the town north of Tampa that is home to several nudist communities. Formerly known as the Riverboat Club, it offers RV and tent sites, a pool and hot tub, a clubhouse with games and entertainment, and an active weekend events calendar. The resort promotes itself as welcoming to first-time nudists and sells memberships as well as nightly stays.
Barefeet Heaven Hill Naturist Resort
Naturist resort in Trang province in southern Thailand, opened in December 2019 as part of the small group of commercial naturist resorts that have appeared in Thailand since the 2010s. As a naturist resort it offers a private setting where guests can be nude on the grounds, which matters in a country where public nudity is not culturally accepted and is prohibited by law. Current operating status could not be confirmed, so check directly with the resort before planning a stay.
Barefeet Naturist Resort
Barefeet Naturist Resort is a commercial naturist resort in the Bangkok area, described in Thai and Scandinavian press as the first naturist resort of its kind in the city, opened on 1 February 2015. It is a private, enclosed property where guests can be nude within the grounds, and it is one of a small group of naturist resorts that have opened in Thailand since the 2010s. The resort is aimed at couples and adult naturists rather than day visitors. Details of its layout, room types and facilities were not available in the sources we could open, and the operator's own site did not appear in the results, so this page is limited to what the press confirms.
Barehide Ranch
Barehide Ranch is a clothing-optional campground on about 50 wooded acres on Perkins Road near Poolville, north of Weatherford in the Dallas-Fort Worth outskirts. It is open to adults 18 and over. Membership is not required, but visitors pay a day fee and must arrange their visit in advance, as unannounced guests are not admitted.
Barton Swim Club
A small, friendly naturist swim club in the Barton on Sea and New Milton area that meets once a month at a leisure centre with a kidney-shaped pool, a steam room, a sauna and a jacuzzi. Besides the swims it runs social events through the year, such as a skittles evening and a Christmas dinner. Visitors pay a little more than members per session.
Bärwalder See - FKK Strand Boxberg
The Bärwalder See is a flooded lignite pit of about 1,300 hectares between Boxberg and Uhyst in Upper Lusatia, the largest lake in Saxony and the eastern gateway to the Lusatian Lake District. The main beach is on the Boxberg shore below the promenade: more than a kilometre of fine, man-made sand divided into a textile beach, a separate FKK beach and a dog beach. The nude section adjoins the textile beach and is separated from it by a low earth bank; one walking guide places it at the southern end of the beach strip. The water is very clear, with visibility reported up to 10 m, and the swimming areas are marked with buoys. Behind the beach are a tourist information point with toilets and showers, a beach bar renting loungers, a snack stand and the Sternencamp campsite. The lake also has a separate kite and surf beach and a marina. A 2014 report also mentions a nude section at the back of the beach near Uhyst on the opposite shore.
Bay of Plenty Sun Camp
The Bay of Plenty Sun Camp is a clothing-optional naturist campground at 430 Manawahe Road, Awakaponga, in the eastern Bay of Plenty about 5 km from Matatā and 20 minutes from Whakatāne. It began in 1966 as the Tauranga Sun Club, moved to this rural site near Matatā in the early 1970s and for decades was a family members' club in the New Zealand Naturist Federation. As membership aged, it was taken over by private owners and now runs more like a naturist campground, where visitors do not need full club membership. The grounds have about 0.8 hectares of open lawn within some 5 hectares of native bush, with a clear stream running alongside and bush walking tracks; native birds are plentiful and blackberries grow along the tracks in summer. The camp has 17 powered sites with room for tents and motorhomes, plus unpowered sites, a cabin and an on-site caravan to rent. Facilities include a camphouse with lounge, full kitchen, wood fire, TV, games and library, flush toilets and hot showers, a fenced, filtered solar-heated pool, a covered spa pool, a barbecue area and fire pit, a mini-tennis court, trampoline, pétanque piste and golf practice area. It remains affiliated with the NZNF and welcomes members of other clubs and travellers.
Beach Alteirinhos
Praia dos Alteirinhos is the first beach south of Zambujeira do Mar on the Alentejo coast, within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park in the municipality of Odemira. It is a wide sandy beach closed in by a tall dark schist cliff, with rock outcrops that appear and disappear with the tide, so the usable sand varies a lot between low and high water. The Odemira municipal assembly approved it as a naturist beach in April 2008, and it remains one of only two official naturist beaches in the Alentejo (with Malhão). The beach is undeveloped, and its wild setting attracts both nude bathers and clothed families who come for the quiet. The Atlantic here is cold and can be rough, with strong currents. Being so close to Zambujeira, it gets busy in August, especially around the village's summer festival.
Bed and Breakfast BellaRose
Luxury, fully equipped guest house in the Brabant village of Maren-Kessel on the Maas, near its floodplains and woods, where naturist guests are welcome. Facilities include a sauna, hot tub and massages, and lively 's-Hertogenbosch is close by. A good fit for nature lovers looking for a quiet, private nude stay.
Bed and Breakfast Boshuis Epe
Naturist-friendly B&B in the woods at Epe, on the north-east edge of the Veluwe. A single guest suite with two bedrooms gives plenty of privacy, helped by the woodland setting and a large, sheltered back garden with an outdoor pool, sauna and hot tub. Ideal for walking and cycling on the Veluwe.
Bed en Wellness de Paauw
Adults-only B&B with luxury private wellness on a farm in the countryside of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen near IJzendijke, close to the Belgian border. A sun terrace with hot tub and barrel sauna lets guests relax nude in complete privacy. Open all year, with an EV charging point and private parking.
Beechwood Lodge
Beechwood Lodge is a family-style nudist camp on about 34 acres of mostly hilly, wooded countryside at Ashfield, near Lehighton in Carbon County, on the southern edge of the Pocono Mountains roughly 25 miles north of Allentown. It welcomes families, couples and singles, and presents itself as a place for body acceptance and wholesome outdoor recreation without clothes, with clothing optional across the grounds. Sports are a big part of the camp: tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball, cornhole on the lawn, and nude yoga on some weekends, plus hiking trails through the woods and meadows. There is an outdoor swimming pool, closed in winter, and indoor hot tubs and a sauna that stay open all year. A covered, screened patio by the brook, sundecks and open meadows give space to relax. Visitors can come for the day or camp, with tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups, a dump station, showers and restrooms, and some cabins, though water may be shut off on some sites in cold months. A calendar of member events runs through the year, including themed buffet dinners, holiday dinners and dances such as a Halloween party.
Bell Acres Resort
Bell Acres, off US 441 near Maysville in Banks County, Georgia, is no longer a naturist resort. Its website now presents Bell Acres RV Resort, a gated RV park and campground on 114 wooded acres at 158 Bell Acres Road. The park is under new ownership and has an on-site management team. It offers RV sites with full hookups, a few cottages, free Wi-Fi and nature trails, and caters to weekend campers, seasonal visitors and full-time RV travellers. The website says the property was first set up in the 1980s as a naturist resort and has since been transformed under its new owners. It does not mention nudity or a clothing-optional policy. A 2014 Red & Black article describes the earlier resort. Bell Acres was founded in 1987 and was a member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). It had about 300 members at its peak in the 1990s, and nudity was expected rather than optional. Facilities then included a pool, hot tub, volleyball court, cabins, tent sites and about 52 RV hookups. A married couple ran it, and the article said new owners were about to buy the business. The sources we read do not say when the naturist resort ended, who the current owners are or why it was converted.
Berény Naturista Kemping
Berény Naturista Kemping is the naturist campsite run by Balatontourist beside the lake at Balatonberény, at the western end of Lake Balaton's south shore. The campsite is part of a larger lakeside complex that also includes the fenced naturist beach, a large circular sunbathing jetty and a restaurant and snack bar. Listings describe about 148 touring pitches and 40 year-round pitches, along with motel rooms, apartments and mobile homes. The site is about 700 metres from the village centre and railway station. The site is open through the main summer season, roughly May to September, with lifeguards on the beach from July to early September. Sports and games are available on site, along with massage and beauty treatments. Reviews are mixed: visitors praise the cleanliness and staff, while older reviews criticise water quality and washroom facilities. The campsite is naturist, and the beach is billed as the only naturist beach on Lake Balaton.
Bergwitzsee
The Bergwitzsee is a 183-hectare lake south of Lutherstadt Wittenberg on the edge of the Dübener Heide nature park, created by flooding the former lignite mine Roberts Hoffnung. It reaches about 35 m deep and has an 8.2 km shoreline, mostly natural and wooded, with exceptionally clear water that has hosted diving championships. The lake has two FKK areas: one on the south-eastern shore and one on the peninsula at the southern end, opposite the village of Bergwitz. The main textile beach on the north shore has a wide sandy strip, beach volleyball, a nature playground, an open-air stage, paid toilets and a snack bar in a former lifeguard tower; another textile beach lies on the east shore, and there is a dog beach on the north-east shore and a horse access point in the south-east. The Bergwitzsee resort rents boats, canoes and bikes and offers camping, bungalows and floating holiday homes. Motorboats are not allowed. The water drops off quickly in places, so the lake is less suited to non-swimmers.
Bešeňová Water Park (nudist beach area)
Bešeňová is a large year-round thermal water park in the Liptov region of northern Slovakia, in the village of the same name between Ružomberok and Liptovský Mikuláš, with views of the Low and Western Tatras. It is a mainstream family textile resort (also listed as Gino Paradise Bešeňová), with three indoor and thirteen outdoor pools filled from a geothermal borehole first drilled in 1987, nine outdoor water slides, children's slides, whirlpools, a hotel and a wellness area with saunas, a steam room, massages and evening sauna-ritual events. The Slovak national tourism portal says the resort added a pebble beach that includes a nudist area. No other details were found: the operator's own site does not mention it, and there is no information on where the area is, when it opens or whether it is still in use. Treat this as a textile water park with a small, unconfirmed nude zone and ask at the desk on arrival.
BffL Isarland
A naturist club on Munich's western edge at Eschenried, close to the Langwieder See, Lußsee and Birkensee lakes. Its private park has a swimming pool, sports areas and space for sunbathing, and the club is known for its parties and social events as well as swimming and recreational sport. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
BffL Kaiserslautern - Längstlerhof
A small naturist family sports club whose 3.5-hectare grounds at the Längstlerhof lie in the heart of the Palatinate Forest near Kaiserslautern. Around 60 pitches with electricity take tents and caravans, and the site has a swimming pool, two volleyball courts, boules pitches, a shared kitchen, a lounge and a sauna heated on Saturdays. The club hosts open days and regional tournaments.
BffL Kassel
The Kassel branch of the 'Bund für freie Lebensgestaltung', a naturist club with its own grounds on Fischhausweg in the east of Kassel near the Fulda. Members use the site for nude sunbathing, games and club life in the summer, and it is listed among the member clubs of the DFK's central regional federation.
BffL Lichtenfels
A naturist family sports club with a quiet three-hectare ground among woods and fields at Klosterlangheim near the basket-making town of Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia. There are sunny and shady pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents with power, a swimming pool, a large lawn, a playground, a barbecue pavilion and a clubhouse. Boules, volleyball, aqua gymnastics and mini golf are popular.
BffL München-Hebertshausen
A naturist family club with a 33,000 m² enclosed ground at Deutenhofen in the municipality of Hebertshausen, about 15 km north of Munich. There are many sunny year-round caravan pitches and room for day visitors, plus a football meadow, indiaca and volleyball courts, a playground, boules lanes, a pool and a bathing pond. It describes itself as a club, not a commercial campsite.
BffL Schwarzwald (Naturheilverein Schwenningen)
A naturist club linked to the Schwenningen natural-health association, with its own grounds in Schwenningen on the eastern edge of the Black Forest. Members use the private site for sunbathing, sport and social nudity in the summer season. It is one of the member clubs of the DFK's south-west regional federation.
BffL Stuttgart - Gelände Degerloch
The city ground of the Bund für freie Lebensgestaltung Stuttgart, a naturist family sports club founded in 1926. It lies in the Ramsbachtal/Weidachtal landscape reserve in southern Stuttgart between Degerloch-Hoffeld, Asemwald, Birkach and Schönberg, and is used for nude sunbathing, family sport and competition sport. Overnight stays are not possible here, and pets are not allowed.
BHH Naturist Resort Fuerteventura
Boutique adults-only naturist resort in Costa Calma in the south of Fuerteventura, with four apartments and two private eco-pods arranged around a pool, bar and barbecue area.

Bielefelder Verein für Familiensport & Gymnastik (BVfG)
A naturist recreational sports club whose grounds are terraced into a six-hectare former quarry on a south-facing slope of the Teutoburg Forest at Bielefeld-Hillegossen. The site has year-round pitches for caravans and motorhomes, a pool, a sauna area open to guests, and an annual open day. Dogs are allowed on leads.
Birdie Beach
Birdie Beach is a long surf beach in Munmorah State Conservation Area on the Central Coast of New South Wales, near Lake Munmorah and Budgewoi, about 100 km north of Sydney. The beach runs for several kilometres below coastal heath and dunes, with Freemans campground and picnic areas behind it. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service states that the northern end of Birdie Beach is a designated nude bathing area; signs on the approach mark the 'unclad bathing' section, and the rest of the beach is for swimwear. It is the Central Coast's only nude beach and draws a mix of locals, campers and day visitors, with the nude section usually uncrowded. The beach is open to the Tasman Sea and unpatrolled, with rips common, so swimming needs care. Some reviews mention unwanted attention from lone men in the dunes on quiet days, which has prompted complaints from couples and women. The park has gated access with set opening hours.
Black Rock Hot Springs
Black Rock Hot Springs is a pair of small, rock-lined soaking pools on the west bank of the Rio Grande, inside the Rio Grande Gorge a few minutes downstream of the historic John Dunn Bridge, about 30 minutes' drive north-west of Taos. The land along the gorge here is managed by the Bureau of Land Management as part of Río Grande del Norte National Monument. Geothermal water seeps up through the riverbed and collects in a larger main pool and a smaller, hotter one; the main pool usually runs in the high 90s Fahrenheit (about 36-38°C), and its depth and temperature change with the river level. In spring snowmelt the Rio Grande can cover or wash out the pools entirely, and a winter flood in 2019 damaged them. The setting is dark basalt boulders and canyon walls, with the river running right beside the pools. Soaking is free, there are no facilities, and clothing is optional: many soakers go nude, but clothed visitors are common too. Because it is close to the road and well known, expect company on weekends and in good weather; the pools hold only a handful of people. Nearby Manby Hot Springs, upstream on the east side, is a separate site.
Blackpool & Fylde Sun Club
A naturist swim and sauna club using the YMCA pool at The Eagles, off Breck Road in Poulton-le-Fylde, about four miles from Blackpool. Sessions are usually on the first Saturday of the month from 7pm to 9pm and are open to members and genuine naturist visitors. The pool is ten minutes from M55 junction 3 or a short walk from Poulton railway station.
Blackthorns Sun Club
Blackthorns has occupied Pippin Wood near Sharnbrook, north of Bedford, since 1969. The 6.5-hectare semi-ancient woodland site has sun lawns and clearings, a swimming pool, courts for miniten, petanque, badminton and volleyball, a crazy-golf course and a pavilion used for quizzes, dances and barbecues. A static caravan can be hired, and visitors may bring tents or touring caravans. Holiday Week in early August is its busiest time.
Blind Creek Beach
Blind Creek Beach is on South Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, on Florida's Atlantic coast, about eight miles south of Fort Pierce along A1A and immediately north of the St. Lucie nuclear power plant. It is part of the county's Blind Creek park, and on June 2, 2020 the St. Lucie County Commission officially designated a section of it, about 36 acres, as clothing-optional, the county's first. Naturists had used it for decades before that. The designated nude stretch runs for more than a mile between two parking areas, and visitors can continue south along the shore below the high-water line past the power plant property for a much longer walk. The beach is natural and undeveloped: soft sand, sea oats and dunes with no buildings, no shade, no lifeguards and no vendors. It draws a relaxed mix of local naturist regulars, couples and visitors, and the Treasure Coast Naturists group supports the beach.
Blue Lake Resort
Blue Lake Resort is a family-run nudist park in the Rock River Valley of north-western Illinois, about three miles south-east of the village of Erie and roughly 30 miles north-east of the Quad Cities. Founded in 1972, it has long been described as the only landed nudist park in Illinois. The developed grounds take up about 20 acres of sun and shade inside a 98-acre farm property. Instead of a pool, swimming is in a chlorinated pond with a sandy beach, and the clubhouse has a screened porch, a large sun deck, a weekend snack bar and a whirlpool room. Outdoor games include two fenced sand volleyball courts, horseshoes, shuffleboard, petanque and disc golf, and there is a children's playground. Overnight options are about 20 RV spaces with water and electric, tent camping, three motel rooms and one cabin, plus hot showers and a dump station. The park is strict about its nudist character: a 2013 newspaper profile reported that nudity is required for everyone in a party rather than optional, photography is banned, and the site itself says swinging and recruiting are not welcome. The season runs from the first weekend in May to the first weekend in October.
Bluebonnet Nudist Park
Bluebonnet Nudist Park is a family-oriented nudist park on 66.5 acres of grassland beside the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands near Alvord in Wise County, north Texas, roughly an hour or more north-west of Dallas-Fort Worth. It has been family-run for decades; the current operators' family bought it in the 1980s after seeing it advertised. The park says it is affiliated with AANR, AANR Southwest and The Naturist Society, and it welcomes both seasoned and first-time nudists. Facilities include a clothing-optional pool, a clubhouse, a bathhouse, a sauna, nature trails and volleyball. For overnight stays there are ten RV sites (six with full hookups, four with water and electric), a dump station, a large tent and car camping area close to the clubhouse and pool, and a single one-bedroom bungalow with kitchenette and bathroom that books up quickly over holiday weekends. The calendar is busy in summer, with membership appreciation dinners, ice cream socials and holiday cookouts listed for 2026, and the park has hosted the Bare as You Dare 5K nude fun run, which follows its 'bare as you dare' approach to easing newcomers in.
Bluff Creek Falls Campground
Bluff Creek Falls is a private, membership-based clothing-optional campground for men on Chandler Mountain near Steele in northeast Alabama. It has a pool, marked trails, a clubhouse and regular bonfires and potluck suppers. Its current rules and operating status are not well documented online, so confirm membership terms and opening dates before visiting.
BNatural Naturism & Glamping
Naturist farm campsite (agricampeggio) on the Etruscan Coast in Mediterranean scrub, offering furnished lodge tents plus pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. It is about 3 km from the authorised naturist beach at Rimigliano (Nido dell'Aquila) and close to the Gulf of Baratti, the Populonia archaeological park and the medieval villages of Suvereto and Campiglia Marittima. The owners emphasise respectful, nature-focused naturism.
boBRENE on Tamborine
Naturist retreat at Tamborine in the Scenic Rim hinterland behind the Gold Coast, run by hosts Bob and Rene, whose names make up the retreat's name. Guests stay in cosy chalets and luxury cottages, with a spa, an open log fire for cooler nights and outdoor dining. It is a small, quiet place for nudist couples rather than a large resort, about an hour from Brisbane.
Bois de la Pardière (Club du Soleil de Poitiers)
Naturist ground in the Bois de la Pardière at Château-Larcher, south of Poitiers, home of the Club du Soleil de Poitiers since the 1970s. Members and FFN licence holders can rent a pitch with electricity, a chalet or a caravan. There is a communal house with equipped kitchen, a bar with ice creams and cold drinks, sports grounds and a pool, with bread delivered in summer.
Bois de la Paveillais (Association Naturiste d'Ille-et-Vilaine)
Five-hectare wooded naturist ground about 20 km from Rennes and 2 km from Gévezé, run for more than 60 years by the Association Naturiste d'Ille-et-Vilaine. Members relax by the pool, in the woods, or at pétanque and archery. There are toilets and showers, swings, an outdoor barbecue and a communal house with fireplace. Day visits and camping are possible with an FFN licence, and first-timers can try a free naturist day.
Bois des 40 Acres (Club du Soleil de la Porte Océane)
Naturist ground on top of the Côte d'Albâtre cliffs at Yport, between Fécamp and Étretat, with open meadows and wild flowers. Campers bring a tent, caravan or motorhome or rent a chalet or two-person caravan, and share a kitchen and dining room in the clubhouse. A panoramic terrace, sunbathing areas, pétanque and a sauna complete the site. An FFN or INF-FNI licence is required.
Bois des Forges (Club du Soleil de Touraine)
Eight-hectare wooded naturist campsite at the Bois des Forges in Cléré-les-Pins, about 30 km north-west of Tours, run by the Club du Soleil de Touraine. It offers marked pitches and three full sanitary blocks, one adapted for reduced mobility. There is a pool, paddling pool, playground, mini-golf, pétanque, volleyball, table tennis, library and communal barbecue, with many summer activities and the Loire châteaux close by.
Bonita Vista
Tiny Dutch-run naturist camper and caravan site at about 400 m altitude in the Hondón valley, inland from Alicante. A handful of pitches with electricity share a pool, sauna, bar, sun loungers and a pétanque court, with views across the valley. It operates as a naturist site from April to November (closed in July); in winter the pitches are let to non-naturist guests.
Borkum FKK Beach
Borkum's naturist beach sits on the quieter north-east side of the island, around four kilometres from the town, near the small airfield and backed by high dunes. It is a broad North Sea sand beach run by the island's spa company, free to enter and open at all times, with nude bathing the norm in the marked section. DLRG lifeguards patrol it in season, and beach chairs and small dune cabins (FKK-Budjes) can be rented. Expect wind, open views and strong currents, so swim only between the flags.
Bos Redon (Club du Soleil de Limoges)
Six-hectare naturist ground called Bos Redon at Bussière-Galant, south of Limoges, owned by the Club du Soleil de Limoges for more than 60 years. A third of it is for camping, open year-round to members and in summer to FFN licence holders. There are volleyball and boules areas, table tennis, a spring-fed pond, a dormitory, a stone farmhouse room with fireplace and bread oven, and a wooden clubhouse. Members also swim nude at Limoges.
Bouhébent Naturisme
Two naturist self-catering studios in a seven-hectare wooded park in the Armagnac countryside between Agen and Mont-de-Marsan. Each 20 m² studio sleeps a family, with bunk beds, a sofa bed, microwave, fridge-freezer and a shower room. A flower-edged pond next to the studios is used for swimming, and the spa town of Barbotan-les-Thermes is eight kilometres away. The setting is quiet and family-oriented.
Boutique Beach Villa by Lanzarote Retreats
This is a whole-house holiday villa in Charco del Palo, the long-established naturist village on the north-east coast of Lanzarote in the municipality of Haría, run by the local rental company Lanzarote Retreats. It is not a resort. It appears to be the villa Lanzarote Retreats also markets as 'Eco Beach': five apartment-style bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette and most with a terrace, around an eight-metre solar-heated pool, with a roof terrace looking over the Atlantic. There is also a large industrial kitchen, a communal bar and living area, and a yoga and Pilates studio with a wooden floor. It sleeps up to 10 adults and is let on an exclusive basis, which suits groups and retreats. Solar panels supply electricity and hot water, and the house collects rainwater. Nudity is optional, in keeping with Charco del Palo, where naturism is accepted throughout the village and on its rocky shore and swimming pools cut into the rock.
Bredenbeker Teich
The Bredenbeker Teich, known locally as the Bredsche, is a natural lake of about 35 hectares and up to 3 m deep between Ammersbek and Ahrensburg, just north of Hamburg's Volksdorf district. Its shoreline of around 6 km is reed-fringed and wooded; the Ahrensburg author Waldemar Bonsels spent much of his childhood here, and the lake is linked with his Maya the Bee stories. A small lido on the north shore operates from mid-May to mid-August with a snack van, a parent-and-child area and a designated FKK beach, as described by Hamburg's tourism board; a club-run campsite sits beside it. Older nacktbaden.de reports describe the front of the lake with its small sandy beach as often crowded, and a path past it leading to a reed-lined section with small sunbathing nests and a little island where almost everyone was nude. Important: Hamburg Tourism notes that swimming was not permitted in 2022 under Schleswig-Holstein's bathing safety rules, with the operator hoping for a change; check the current status before you go.
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.
Breitenbush Hot Springs
Breitenbush Hot Springs is an off-grid retreat and conference centre in old-growth forest in the Willamette National Forest east of Detroit, Oregon, run as a worker-owned cooperative. Natural hot springs feed many soaking pools and tubs between about 100 and 110 F, including stone-lined meadow pools, spiral tubs and a sauna, which are open around the clock apart from cleaning times. The soaking areas are clothing optional and mixed, and many guests soak nude; clothing is required in the parking lot, the lodge and around the guest cabins, and the centre has a zero-tolerance rule on sexual activity in public spaces. Children are welcome under supervision, though a few events are adults only. The 2020 Labor Day wildfires burned much of the site and surrounding trails; the retreat has since reopened and published a new trail map. Guests stay overnight in cabins or on camp pads and eat vegetarian, mostly organic meals in the lodge. There is no cell signal or Wi-Fi, pets are not allowed, and alcohol and drugs are kept out of the springs. Programmes include yoga and wellness activities as well as themed weekends such as women-only events.
Breviksbadet Naturistbad
Breviksbadet is Österåker municipality's largest sea bathing place. It is on the Trälhavet bay in Brevik, just outside Åkersberga in the Stockholm archipelago, and is a monitored EU bathing water. The main bathing area has generous lawns, rocks and a sandy beach, with a small café, a mini-golf course, a playground and an outdoor gym that opened in 2020. Österåker municipality's own listing states that a separate beach in the area is set aside for naturist bathing. The naturist beach shares the access, parking and toilets of the main bathing place. Two toilets are available, one of them accessible, and a handrail leads into the water at the main beach for visitors with limited mobility. We found no published description of the naturist beach's exact position, size or surface. Ask locally or look for signs on arrival.
Brighton Naturist Beach
Brighton's naturist beach was the first public nude beach in a major British resort. The council approved a 200-yard trial stretch in August 1979, and it opened on 1 April 1980 as the Cliff Bathing Beach. It is at the eastern end of the city's seafront at Black Rock, below Madeira Drive and just west of Brighton Marina, about a mile east of Brighton Palace Pier. Signs mark where the naturist section starts, and banks of shingle have been heaped up to screen it from the promenade. Like the rest of Brighton's seafront, it is steeply shelving shingle and small pebbles, with a little sand at the water's edge at low tide. There is no shade. Because it sits in the middle of a busy city, it is probably the easiest naturist beach in the UK to reach, but also one of the most public. Tourists walk past, and people sometimes watch from the promenade, so naturist guides suggest it may not suit a first-timer. The sea is generally clean, though water quality can drop after heavy rain when storm drains overflow.
Bristol Naked Swim
A weekly naturist swim every Tuesday from 8pm to 9pm at Jubilee Pool in Knowle, a community-run pool managed by the Friends of Jubilee Pool. Sessions cost about GBP 10, paid in cash, with a cheaper rate for members. Membership runs from February to January and is open to anyone who has attended three swims. Lockers take a returnable coin.
Broadland Sun Association
A naturist club in about 10 hectares of woodland 8 km south of Norwich, within reach of the Norfolk Broads and coast. There is a heated indoor pool with sun lounge and sauna, shower blocks with accessible facilities, laundry, a dining area, a clubhouse with TV lounge, games courts, a children's playground and seasonal lake fishing. Serviced caravans can be hired and there are hook-up pitches for tourers and tents.
Brujul Nudist Retreat
Small nudist retreat in Darwin's rural area, roughly 50 km south-east of the city, run by hosts Bruce and Julie. The ANF lists it as a naturist resort in Litchfield Municipality. The hosts have also run nudist breakfast cruises on the Mary River. It is a low-key private property rather than a large resort, so contact the hosts for current facilities and availability.
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.
Brushwood Folklore Center
Brushwood Folklore Center is a rustic, community-run campground in Chautauqua County in the far west of New York State, describing itself as a sanctuary for the open-minded. It spreads over about 180 mostly wooded acres with grassy fields, forest trails and a labyrinth, and it is best known as the home of pagan, music and drumming gatherings such as Sirius Rising, Sankofa, the Beltane Maypole, a women's weekend and Heartsong HarvestFest. Most weekends end with drumming around community fires at the Roundhouse. The whole site is clothing optional, governed by written guidelines. There are about 212 campsites for tents, small trailers and RVs, with shared water and a dump station but no full hookups, plus eight rustic cabins with electricity. Facilities include showers, flush toilets, a swimming pool and a hot tub. General camping runs from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, with event weekends in early May and late September either side.
Brygga Ribersborgsbadet Naturistbad
Ribersborgsstranden is Malmö's city beach, a man-made strip of pale sand running south-west from the Ribersborgs Kallbadhus towards Limhamn, with a broad grassy park between the sand and the city. Sand was first brought in from the Öresund in the 1920s and topped up again in the 1990s. Numbered wooden jetties (bryggor) run out into the shallow sound, and the naturist area sits towards the far south-western end, around jetty 10. Malmö city's own heritage page for the beach notes that a naturist bath lies along this south-western part. Travel guides say the nude zone has been in use since the late 1990s and was moved further along the beach for more privacy. One listing says white-painted stones mark its edges and that the jetty gives straight access to deeper water, while the sand in front stays shallow for a long way. Expect a mix of locals from the city, from regulars sunbathing on the jetty to swimmers who come down after work. The open, unshaded setting faces west across the Öresund towards Copenhagen and the bridge, so evenings bring long sunsets but also wind.
Budleigh Salterton (West End)
Budleigh Salterton is a small, quiet town on the East Devon stretch of the Jurassic Coast, between Exmouth and Sidmouth. Its main beach is a long, steep bank of large rounded pebbles backed by red sandstone cliffs, and the far western end, away from the town, has long been used for nude bathing. East Devon District Council's own beach page says there is a naturist area at the far western end, marked by signs, and a council sign reading in effect 'nude bathing beyond this point' stands roughly 300 metres west of the beach café. Naturists often settle a little before the sign, but British Naturism advises waiting until you reach it. British Naturism calls it probably the most public naturist beach in Devon; walking further west gives more space. The pebbles are big and uncomfortable, so bring sturdy footwear and something thick to lie on; small patches of sand can show at low tide. The beach shelves steeply, so swimmers are quickly out of their depth, and the red cliffs make the water less clear than further west. The cliffs give some shelter from northerly winds. On weekends couples, families and solo visitors of all ages come; on weekdays and out of season the crowd is mostly older.
Bunculuka
Bunculuka is a four-star naturist campground run by the Valamar hotel group, set on the southern shore of the island of Krk just outside the town of Baska. It sits in a bay with a pebbly beach of roughly 300 metres, which the operator describes as the naturist beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. The campsite offers grassed pitches arranged in terraces and a range of camping homes (mobile homes) for couples and families. One directory lists about 400 pitches, although the operator does not publish a total. The resort has a waterfront bistro and lounge, a small shop and market, an outdoor spa, tennis and sports courts, and kayak and paddleboard hire. Pools are available at the nearby Sunny Baska hotel by Valamar rather than on the campsite itself. Pets are welcome in selected areas, and there is a separate dog beach. It is a practical base for exploring Krk, with hiking and cycling routes nearby. Naturism is the principle of the resort, but the operator's pages do not spell out in detail which areas are clothing-optional.
Bund der Natur- und Sonnenfreunde Gießen (BdNuS)
A naturist club whose fenced grounds lie in green surroundings directly on the River Lahn at Gießen, with the club's own bathing spot for nude swimming in the river. The family-friendly site has a playground, boules court and table tennis, and pitches for caravans under 8 m and mid-sized motorhomes, making it a base for exploring the Lahn valley.
Bund für Familiensport und Naturismus Oldenburg (BfF)
A naturist club with its ground at Munderloh in the municipality of Hatten, south-east of Oldenburg, offering a 'little holiday in between' with many sports, a large sunbathing lawn, a swimming pool, a sauna heated on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and individual pitches. Guests can join via day or holiday memberships.
Bund für Familiensport und naturnahe Lebensgestaltung Bremen (BfFnL)
A naturist club founded in April 1947 whose lakeside ground lies a few kilometres beyond the Bremen city limits at Schwanewede. It describes the site as one of the largest naturist sports grounds in Germany, with its own lake, sauna, barbecue hut and canteen, and holiday guests are welcome. The club starts each year with an icy New Year plunge into the lake.
Bussloo Naturist Beach
Bussloo is a large recreation lake in Voorst municipality, in the triangle between Apeldoorn, Deventer and Zutphen, run by the operator Leisurelands. Its naturist beach, on the south-west shore at entrance 5 next to the De Kuiter beach pavilion, is signposted and is the largest inland naturist beach in the Netherlands. It covers about 6 hectares, down from about 8 before a 2020 reorganisation. Most of it is lawn for sunbathing, with three small sandy beaches at the water's edge. When the site was reduced, the operator agreed with the Dutch naturist federation (NFN) to enlarge the two remaining beaches and add a new one north of the kiosk. The swimming area is marked by a floating line at 1.4 m depth, and the lake bed slopes gently, which suits children. Near the kiosk there are a playground, toilets and showers, so the beach draws many naturist families as well as couples. Leisurelands describes it as a prize-winning naturist beach. Bussloo also has a large thermal spa on the lake (Thermen Bussloo), but that is a separate venue.
Cà Le Scope Camping Naturista
Family-managed naturist campsite on shaded hillside terraces within the Monte Sole Historical Park in the Bologna Apennines. It is a calm, informal place with a restaurant, bar, small shop, volleyball and table tennis, and walking trails start right from the grounds. Bologna is under an hour away, which makes it a practical stop for naturists travelling between northern and central Italy.
Cactus Canyon Campground
Cactus Canyon Campground is a male-only, clothing-optional campground in the Ozark hills near Ava, set on a large wooded property along Bryant Creek. Facilities have included primitive cabins, a dormitory, a pavilion, bathhouses, RV storage and a solar-heated pool. The property has been advertised for sale, so its current operating status is uncertain; confirm directly before planning a visit.
Cala Bella Dona
Cala Bella Dona is a small, sheltered cove on the south-west coast of Mallorca in Calvià, below the Sol de Mallorca housing estate near Cala Falcó. Locally it goes by several older names, including Caló de sa Nostra Dama, Caló de la Dona Morta, Caló de ses Paparres and Caló des Suro. The Balearic tourism board states that Calvià town council has declared it a naturist beach, so nude bathing applies to the whole cove rather than to a marked section. It is a quiet spot reached by a staircase from the estate, with no beach facilities, and the water is notably clear, which draws snorkellers and divers. Offshore lies the islet of Illot del Sec, known for the wreck of an ancient Greek ship. Calvià's better-known official nude beach, El Mago at Portals Vells, is also in the municipality, and guides often mention the two together. Expect a small bay rather than a long beach.
Cala Cantalar
The Cabo de la Huerta (Cap de l'Horta) is the low rocky headland that separates Alicante's Albufereta and Postiguet side from the long Playa de San Juan, a few kilometres north-east of the city centre. Its shore is broken into a string of small coves (Cala de los Judíos, Cala Cantalar and Cala de la Palmera, the last within sight of the lighthouse) with patches of golden sand between flat limestone shelves. The city's tourism office lists a naturist area among the services of these coves, and Spain's national tourism portal notes that some of them are naturist. Press and travel guides consistently name Cala Cantalar (Cantalares) and Cala de la Palmera as the coves where nude bathing happens, usually on the flat rocks rather than the sand. The setting is semi-urban: villas and apartment blocks sit right behind the coves, and footpaths run along the cape through protected native scrub. The water is generally calm and clear, and the rocky bottom makes it a popular snorkelling and diving spot. The coves are small, so space on the rocks is limited on summer weekends, and nude and clothed bathers share the area.
Cala d'en Carlos
Cala d'en Carlos is a small cove on the eastern side of the Llorell bay, about 3 km south-west of Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. It is about 50 m long and 20 m deep, with golden sand, and it sits below wooded slopes. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it among Girona's beaches of traditional naturist use. FEN also notes that nudism is reportedly more common at neighbouring Cala Figueres, which has a small parking area in front of it. Unlike many nude coves on this coast, Cala d'en Carlos has a beach bar. FEN reports a chiringuito, Mar Azul, and showers, but no lifeguard. Occupancy is rated high. Expect a mix of nude and clothed bathers, especially in peak season, when campers from the Llorell area use the bay. Sea conditions are usually moderate.
Cala de La Grúa
Playa (or Cala) de la Grúa is a small official nudist beach on the protected coast west of Bolnuevo in Mazarrón, Murcia, along the wild stretch through the Sierra de las Moreras towards Puntas de Calnegre. Murcia's regional tourism office lists it as a nudist beach in a natural setting, and it is described as the third of the official naturist beaches on the 12 km coastal track from Bolnuevo. The beach is short, about 85 metres long and 12-18 metres wide, made of gravel and coarse sand with pebbles, and banks of posidonia seagrass often cover the shore; the beaches here are not machine-cleaned. Remains of cut stone blocks on the Punta de la Grúa are traces of an 18th-century loading port that gave the cove its name. The sea is usually calm, there are large seagrass meadows offshore, and visitor numbers are low. There are no services of any kind. A coastal track links it with neighbouring Playa Amarilla and the other naturist coves of the area.
Cala del Senyor Ramon
Cala del Senyor Ramon, also called Cala de la Corcollada, is an isolated cove on the cliff-lined stretch of the Costa Brava between Tossa de Mar and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. It belongs to Santa Cristina d'Aro, though it lies about 11 km from that town's centre. The cove is roughly 150 m long and about 15 m deep, with a mix of sand and large boulders. The small Canyet islets lie to the left, and the tiny Concagats cove sits to the right beyond the rocks. Pine-covered cliffs rise straight behind it, and boats often anchor offshore in summer. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach with a long naturist tradition, and nudity is the norm across the whole cove. FEN's listing mentions a beach bar, toilets and litter bins but no lifeguard, and rates occupancy as medium. Waves are usually moderate. Do not sit right under the cliffs, because rockfall is a risk. It is one of the best-known nude coves on the southern Costa Brava.
Cala del Volante
Cala del Volante is a tiny cove on the rugged coast south of Peñíscola in Castellón, below the hills of the Serra d'Irta. It is only about 30 m long and 20 m deep. The shore is mostly large boulders and pebbles, with some patches of fine golden sand, and it is backed by low cliffs. The Valencian regional tourism board groups it with Cala Ordí, Cala Badum and Cala Argilaga as the coves of Peñíscola's southern coast. Many of these coves sit against the backdrop of the Serra d'Irta Natural Park. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists Volante as a beach of traditional naturist use, describes it as semi-urban with low occupancy, and says it has no lifeguard or showers. Because it is so small and stony, it suits a few people who come to swim and snorkel off the rocks rather than spend a full beach day. Water conditions are usually moderate. Bring sturdy footwear and something soft to lie on.
Cala Mica
Cala Mica is a small, undeveloped beach on Menorca's wild north coast in the municipality of Es Mercadal, between the larger beaches of Binimel·là to the west and Cavalleria to the east. It lies within the North Menorca Marine Reserve, and no buildings are visible from the sand. The beach is about 170 m long and 32 m wide, of medium-grained sand (one guide calls it orange-tinted) with rocks on both flanks and pebbles at the waterline; the entry into the sea runs over a rocky shelf, so water shoes are useful. The water is clear, but this coast is exposed to the tramuntana north wind, which can make it rough. The Balearic tourism board describes it as a nudist beach, and the whole beach is used nude rather than a separate section. It is noticeably quieter than Cavalleria, with few people even in midsummer, and attracts walkers on the Camí de Cavalls coastal path as well as people coming from the nearby car park. Cap de Cavalleria, with cliffs around 80 m high, is a short walk away for views.
Cala Moltó
Cala Moltó is a small rocky cove on the north-east tip of Mallorca, in the municipality of Capdepera, about 3 km north of the resort of Cala Ratjada. It sits just beyond the far (northern) end of the much larger Cala Agulla, tucked behind the Punta des Gulló headland and backed by pine woods. The cove is roughly 100 m long and only about 10 m deep. Despite being catalogued as a sand beach, it is mostly flat rock platforms and ledges with small pockets of sand and gravel between them, so most people lie on the stone. Getting into the water means stepping off rocks that can be slippery, and the cove is open to north-west winds, which can raise a swell quickly. The water is clear and is part of the Llevant de Mallorca marine reserve, which makes it popular for snorkelling. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists Moltó as a beach of traditional nudist use, and guide sites describe nude bathing as normal here, with clothed and nude visitors sharing the rocks. There is no designated nude section: the whole cove is used, and the scattered rock shelves give groups some privacy. The land behind it has been protected as an Area of Special Natural Interest since 1991, along with Cala Agulla and Cala Mesquida.
Cala Morisca
Cala Morisca is a cove on the Garraf coast within Sitges municipality, between the village of Garraf and the cement works at Vallcarca, less than 15 km south-west of Barcelona. It sits at the mouth of a valley in the Garraf massif, hemmed in by steep, scrub-covered limestone slopes, and is about 140 m long and 50 m deep. The shore is a mix of golden sand and rounded stones, and the water is usually calm. Unlike most nude coves near Barcelona, it is not a wild beach: a large beach club with a terrace and pool overlooks the sand, and there are rental sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets and showers. Spain's national tourism portal notes that nudism is practised here, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it among the traditionally naturist beaches of Barcelona province, while openly criticising the commercial services and the expensive parking. Nudity is accepted across the beach rather than in a marked zone, though the mix of nude and clothed visitors shifts with the crowd at the beach club. Occupancy is rated high in summer, and the cove draws a mixed crowd of Barcelona day-trippers and naturist regulars.
Cala Mundina
Cala Mundina is a tiny cove on the Serra d'Irta coast at Alcossebre, in the municipality of Alcalà de Xivert (Castellón). It lies directly below the Alcossebre lighthouse (the Irta cape light), at the mouth of the Melentivet ravine, inside the Serra d'Irta Natural Park. The cove is U-shaped and only about 25 m long and 15 m deep, with a shore of rounded boulders, gravel and coarse sand rather than fine sand, and rocks either side that are good for snorkelling. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of traditional nudist use and rates it isolated with low occupancy; the regional tourist board describes it simply as a wild, unserviced cove where mountain meets sea. Because it is so small, the whole cove functions as the nude area when naturists are present. FEN notes that the neighbouring beaches, Ribamar to the north and Cala Blanca to the south, are also used by nudists, so it fits into a chain of naturist spots along this protected coast. Sea conditions can be choppy, so it suits strong swimmers on calm days.
Cala Naiara
Cala Naiara is a narrow strip of sand on the Maresme coast at Montgat, just north-east of Barcelona, squeezed between the coastal railway and the sea about 100 m south of Montgat station. It was formerly known as Cala Taps; the current name honours a local naturist who looked after and cleaned it. The Spanish Naturist Federation describes it as roughly 210 m long but only about 7 m wide, with golden sand and calm water, and as a quiet spot used by committed naturists. The Diputació de Barcelona's tourism portal lists it among the Maresme's nudist areas, alongside Platja de Ponent in El Masnou and La Musclera in Arenys de Mar, noting that local naturists share them with visitors arriving from Barcelona by train. There is no separate nude section; the small beach as a whole is used nude. Its main problem is erosion. In 2020 FEN reported that the sand had almost disappeared and that a sign prohibited access, although people still went. Expect very little beach at high tide or after winter storms, no facilities and the noise of passing trains.
Cala Nans
Cala Nans is a small, remote cove at the southern end of the Cadaqués bay on the Cap de Creus peninsula, below the Cala Nans lighthouse, first lit in 1874. It is the last of a string of coves reached by the coastal path south of town and has no road access or buildings near the shore. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it among Girona's beaches of traditional nudist use, rating it isolated and lightly used, about 125 m long and 11 m deep. The shore is rounded stones over a rock base rather than sand, and the clear, usually calm water is good for snorkelling among the rocks. Because few people make the walk, the cove is usually quiet and the whole beach can be used nude. The surroundings are the bare, wind-carved slate and scrub typical of Cap de Creus, with almost no natural shade.
Cala nudista de la Vinyeta
La Vinyeta is one of a string of small coves known collectively as Les Roques, on the rocky stretch of the Maresme coast just south of Calella lighthouse, about 50 km north-east of Barcelona. The group includes Rocapins, La Vinyeta, Cala d'en Pere and Roca Grossa, separated by granite boulders and backed by pines, low cliffs and the N-II road and railway. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists the Les Roques coves as a traditionally nudist beach, about 740 m of mixed golden sand and big rocks in total, with calm water and high summer occupancy. Nudity is not confined to one marked cove: La Vinyeta itself is widely labelled a nudist cove on maps, while some local guides say nude bathing is most common at neighbouring Cala d'en Pere. With no signs marking a nude area, clothed and nude bathers mix. The water is clear and the rocks make it a good snorkelling spot, but waves and submerged rocks call for care. Accommodation in Calella is within walking distance.
Cala Porter
Cala'n Porter is a deep, narrow inlet on Menorca's south coast, in the municipality of Alaior, at the foot of the resort village of the same name. Two tall limestone cliffs enclose a beach of fine white sand about 120 m long and 40 m deep; the enclosure shelters the water so well that it behaves like a natural swimming pool. The cliffs on the eastern side hold the well-known Cova d'en Xoroi cave bar. The Spanish Naturist Federation includes Cala'n Porter in its list of Menorcan beaches with naturist tradition, but this is a semi-urban Blue Flag beach with sunbed rental, restaurants and water sports, heavily used by families. A 2024 article in Menorca's daily paper notes that FEN itself flags the beach as one of doubtful nudist history. In practice, nude bathing here is occasional and low-key, and visitors wanting a genuinely naturist atmosphere generally walk to Cales Coves, the next inlet west, which has a stronger tradition. There is no marked nude section.
Cala Presili
Cala Presili, also called Cala Capifort, is an undeveloped beach on Menorca's north-east coast in the municipality of Maó, just south of the Cap de Favàritx lighthouse. It lies at the edge of the s'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, a wetland on bird migration routes, and the dark slate headland of Favàritx shelters it from the worst of the tramuntana wind. The beach is a stretch of light sand backed by low dunes and slopes, with clear, shallow water and rocky edges that suit snorkelling. The Balearic tourism board describes it as a nudist beach, and Menorca's daily paper includes it among the Spanish Naturist Federation's Menorcan beaches with nudist tradition. It is the first beach reached from the Favàritx car park along the Camí de Cavalls, with Cala Tortuga about 1 km further on. There are no buildings and no services, and nudity is generally accepted across the beach, though it is shared with walkers and clothed bathers.
Cala San Pedro
Cala de San Pedro is a remote bay in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park in Almería, north-east of the village of Las Negras, with no road access. A crescent of golden sand about 225 m long sits below volcanic hills, with the ruins of an old coastal castle above it and a freshwater spring. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of traditional nudist use and describes it as one of the last hippie enclaves in Spain. A small community lives in caves and makeshift houses in the valley behind the beach, some for years, which gives the place a distinctive alternative atmosphere. Nudity is normal across the whole beach, among residents and visitors alike. FEN mentions informal bars, one on the beach and one in the castle area. Despite its fame, occupancy is generally low outside August because of the walk, and the water is usually calm and very clear. Overnight camping is officially prohibited in the park, though tents appear in summer.
Cala Saona
Cala Saona is the main beach on Formentera's west coast, in the Sant Francesc Xavier area, facing Ibiza and the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. It is a deep bay of fine white and golden sand, about 140 m wide, enclosed by reddish sandstone cliffs on both sides, with turquoise, shallow water that is usually calm. Because it faces west it is one of Formentera's best sunset spots. A large hotel and a couple of restaurants stand above the beach, sunbeds are rented, and lifeguards work in season, so it is a busy, semi-urban family beach in July and August. The Spanish Naturist Federation still lists it among Formentera's beaches of traditional nudist use, reflecting the island's long-standing tolerance of nude bathing, but it does not specify a section. In practice nudity is less common here than at Ses Illetes or Migjorn; naturists tend to settle away from the hotel, towards the rocky edges of the bay, and on quieter days.
Cala Tamariua
Cala Tamariua is a cove about 2-3 km north-east of El Port de la Selva on the Alt Empordà coast of the Costa Brava, on the edge of the Cap de Creus area. It is roughly 100 m long and 20-60 m deep, made up of coarse dark sand, gravel and stones, and sheltered between two hills, with very clear water that is popular for snorkelling. The Costa Brava tourist board lists it as a cove where nudism is allowed, and Spain's national tourism site notes that, depending on the part of the beach, it can be full of nudists. In practice it is mixed: visitors describe a partly nude crowd, with nude bathers spread along the cove rather than in a fenced-off section. Occupancy is usually medium; it is busy in July and August and much quieter in spring and autumn. It is unspoilt, with only bins and cleaning, and can be windy when the north wind blows. The coastal path continues from here to further small coves, including Cala Tavallera.
Caliente Resort
Caliente Club & Resort is a private, gated, adults-only community in Land O' Lakes, about 30 minutes north of Tampa, in Pasco County, Florida. The grounds are clothing-optional, but the pool areas are nude-only, which is the main rule to know before going. A Florida Trend report from a few years ago put the permanent population at around 600 residents, so the site works as a residential club with resort facilities rather than a day-visit resort. Listings describe several pools, a hot tub, a fitness centre, a spa, tennis and pickleball courts, restaurants and bars, and a regular calendar of social events. Lodging is in condo-style units. A local news feature dates the opening to 2004. Nearby, The Woods RV Resort is another clothing-optional community on the same lake. Most of the sources are older news pieces or listing pages, so the amenities and pool rules may have changed. Check the resort's current rules directly before a visit.
Cambridge Outdoor Club
A quiet, family-oriented naturist club between Ely and Huntingdon, with well-kept grounds maintained by its members, a clubhouse, a sauna and an outdoor pool. The atmosphere is described as friendly and reasonably active without being too competitive. Shops are in a village about 3 km away. Couples and families interested in naturism are invited to apply for membership.
Camp Full Monte
Camp Full Monte is a small, clothing-optional eco campsite in the hills at Prijevor, in Herceg Novi municipality at the western tip of Montenegro, close to the Croatian border. It covers about eight hectares of terraced meadows and oak woods with a natural spring and a stream, and is run as an off-grid eco-project. There are only about twenty pitches and the site takes tents only, with cars kept off the camping area to keep it quiet; fully equipped tents can be hired. The sanitary block uses composting toilets and solar-heated water, and guests share a communal kitchen and barbecue, with hammocks around the site, breakfast and a dish of the day on offer. Clothing is optional: guests can go nude or stay dressed as they prefer. The camp has run themed weekends and working holidays around gardening, yoga and art. The Bay of Kotor towns of Herceg Novi, Perast and Kotor and the city of Dubrovnik are within an hour's drive.
Camp NCN North
Camp NCN North is a privately run, adults-only clothing-optional campground on US Highway 12 just outside Black River Falls, in the wooded Jackson County countryside of west-central Wisconsin. It bills itself as the ultimate clothing-optional adults-only campground and has been 21+ only since its new management took over. Although some listings call it a naturist destination, its programme is aimed at the swinger and adult lifestyle crowd rather than traditional family nudism, and some events are limited to heterosexual couples and single women. It is large for a clothing-optional venue: Campspot lists about 26 cabins (from simple queen-bed cabins with a porch over the lake to deluxe units with private bathrooms), around 100 RV sites with 30/50-amp hookups, including waterfront and pull-through pitches, and a large open area of primitive tent sites, with newly developed full-hookup sections and others reserved for seasonal campers. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a hot tub and sauna, a sand volleyball court, a beach and waterfront for canoeing, kayaking and fishing, a clubhouse, a pavilion, showers and a dump station. The calendar is built around themed party weekends with live music, such as the Black River Rumble, a 4th of July party and costume weekends. The camp opens in summer only.
Camp Nudist Vrboska (Glavica Beach)
Camp Nudist is a naturist campsite on the north coast of Hvar, about a kilometre outside the village of Vrboska, run by the Jelsa company Jelkom, which also manages the textile Camp Mina in Jelsa. The camp lies among pine trees directly on the shore and looks across the channel to the island of Brač. Opposite the camp is the islet of Zečevo, often cited as the place where naturism on Hvar began. The Croatian Camping Union lists it as a site of about 2.5 hectares with room for roughly 420 to 450 guests, and its own stony beach of about 800 m reserved for naturists. Facilities include three sanitary blocks with hot water, a washing machine and dryer, a dog-washing area, fridge rental, a camper service point, a children's playground and an inflatable water park, plus a small shop, bar and a grill restaurant. Pets are accepted. Tennis courts, a diving school, bike and boat hire and windsurfing are within about a kilometre.
Camping Bleesbruck
Camping Bleesbruck is a family-run campsite in the Sûre valley at Bleesbrück, between Diekirch and Bettendorf in the Luxembourg Ardennes, run by the Hamen family in its third generation. Most of the site is an ordinary textile campsite with about 159 pitches, seven motorhome places and twelve rental units. In 1999 the family fenced off a small textile-free section of 25 pitches, and the campsite describes itself as one of only two naturist campsites in Luxembourg. The naturist area is self-contained, with its own closed-off space, and guest reviews describe it as quiet and clean with good sanitary facilities; it had its recycling corner updated in 2024. There is no pool on site, but there are public pools in Diekirch and other nearby towns, and the Sûre valley has riverside cycle paths and walks. The season runs from April to October.
Camping Cala del Aceite (naturist section)
Campsite above the cliffs north of Conil on the Costa de la Luz with a separate, fenced naturist section alongside its textile area. Visitors describe the naturist part as quieter, with its own pool hours; the nearby coves of Melchor, Pitones and El Sudario are used for nude sunbathing, while the main Cala del Aceite beach is mostly textile in summer.
Camping Classe FKK
Large seaside campsite inside the Pineta di Dante pine forest south of Ravenna, with a dedicated naturist (FKK) section that has its own private solarium and whirlpool, alongside a separate textile area. Guests share the bar, self-service restaurant, minimarket, pool, tennis and minigolf, and the official naturist beach at Lido di Dante is close by. Ravenna, Rimini and San Marino are within easy day-trip range.
Camping Cuevas Mar (naturist zone)
Campsite near the Almería coast at Palomares, a few kilometres north of Vera Playa, with a separate nudist zone that has its own toilet block and electric hook-ups. The wider site has a pool, jacuzzi and bar, and is close to sandy beaches. It accepts ACSI camping cards out of high season and is popular with winter stayers.
Camping De Reenert
De Reenert is a naturist campsite at Heiderscheid in the Luxembourg Ardennes, inside the Upper Sûre (Haute-Sûre) nature park and a short drive from the Upper Sûre lake. It is the naturist sister site of the large family campsite Fuussekaul, which sits on the other side of the road and handles reception; naturist guests may also use Fuussekaul's facilities, where clothing is worn. De Reenert itself has about 85 large, level touring pitches, all with electricity, including shaded pitches and motorhome pitches, plus around eight mobile homes and lodges to rent with kitchen, bathroom and terrace. Its own facilities include a newly built heated indoor pool with lounge and sauna, modern sanitary blocks with accessible and family showers, a clubhouse and meeting room, a children's play area with large trampolines and a boules pitch. Across the road at Fuussekaul are a restaurant, bar, shop, bakery, tennis court and bike hire. Free aqua-gym sessions and an activities programme run in high season (May to September). Nudity is the norm on the De Reenert side. The site is open all year, which makes it one of the few naturist campsites in the Benelux usable in winter. It is a good base for walking, kayaking, fishing and sailing on the lake.
Camping du Lac de Lislebonne
Naturist campsite in Lot-et-Garonne built around a 2.5-hectare swimmable lake with a fine sand beach, surrounded by 16 hectares of greenery near Réaup-Lisse.

Combined textile and naturist campsite on the Melin peninsula just outside Cres town. A clothes-free part of the grounds and a dedicated stretch of the Blue Flag pebble beach are set aside for naturists, while the rest of the site is textile.

A good pick for mixed groups where not everyone wants to go nude.

Green, quiet naturist campsite beside the Colme canal at Cappelle-Brouck near Dunkirk, open from April to October.

Camping Naturiste Arnaoutchot
Camping Naturiste Arnaoutchot, also called Domaine Naturiste Arnaoutchot, is a naturist campsite in a pine forest of about 45 hectares near Vielle-Saint-Girons in the Landes, south-west France. The site has direct access to a private naturist beach. Facilities reported in reviews include a heated indoor pool, a spa and a sauna, a supermarket, restaurants and a cinema. Capacity figures differ: one listing mentions more than 500 pitches, and a regional listing gives a total capacity of 1,500. The season runs from 1 April to 27 September, according to the listing sites. One listing notes that new visitors may be asked to be introduced by a family who has stayed for at least three years, so it is worth phoning ahead. One listing leaves the naturist box unchecked, which conflicts with the site's naturist status. A French naturist guide describes it as a naturist campsite, but I did not confirm its federation membership. Confirm current rules and prices directly with the campsite.
Camping Naturiste Castillon de Provence
Naturist campsite on 50 hectares near the medieval village of Castellane in the sunny Verdon, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

The estate is mostly wild oak woodland and limestone causse, crossed by marked naturist walking trails, and it even has a cave that guests can visit; the park's dark skies make it good for stargazing. The campsite has about 50 shaded pitches with electric hook-ups, plus a few chalets and a caravan to rent. Facilities listed by the regional tourism board include a heated pool, a second pool and a children's pool, a sauna and spa, a tennis court, pétanque, volleyball, table tennis, billiards, a games room and library, a playground, a bar, barbecue and picnic areas, free Wi-Fi and bread delivery.

Pitches, bungalows and mobile homes are complemented by an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool with jacuzzi, sauna, gym, beachfront restaurant and supermarket. It is especially popular with northern European naturists over the winter months, when long-stay offers apply and pitches can fill up.
Camping Škrila (naturist area)
Terraced campsite above the clear water at Stara Baška on Krk's southern coast, with sea views from most pitches. Alongside its textile areas it has its own naturist zone and a nude beach section, as well as a dog beach. It suits campers who want the dramatic, rocky scenery of southern Krk with the option of going nude, without booking a fully naturist site. Mobile homes are available to rent.
Camping Smlednik (naturist section)
Camp Smlednik is a riverside campsite at Dragočajna, near the village of Smlednik, about 20 km north-west of Ljubljana on the road towards Kranj. It sits directly on the Sava and is mainly a textile site with pitches, bungalows, an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a supermarket and a children's playground. Part of the grounds is set aside for naturists: an enclosure beside the river with its own small beach, its own toilet and shower block, and electric hook-ups. One guide puts this area at roughly 30 by 100 metres with room for about fifteen units, so it is small and fills up in summer. It is one of the few naturist camping options in inland Slovenia and makes a quiet base for Ljubljana, Škofja Loka, Kamnik and Kranj. The season runs from May to mid-October.
Camping Straško (FKK section)
Straško is one of the largest campsites on the Adriatic, spread over about 57 hectares of oak, pine and olive trees on the edge of Novalja on the island of Pag, with around 1,900 pitches, mobile homes and glamping tents and room for up to 6,000 people. Most of it is a busy family textile resort with a Blue Flag beach of about 1.6-2 km, pools and an aquapark, restaurants, bars, a supermarket, a sports centre, a kids' club, an open-air cinema and a small farm. A separate naturist (FKK) area, described by Alan Rogers as about 250 pitches in a private area behind a high rock wall with its own beach, has long been part of the site; inside it clothing is not normally worn. The FKK section was reduced in size and moved within the camp in 2011, and the campsite does not promote it on its own website, so ask for an FKK pitch when booking. The resort gets very busy in July and August; Novalja's nightlife at Zrće beach is nearby.
Camping Village Vacances Naturiste Bagheera
Bagheera is a four-star commercial naturist campsite and holiday village at Bravone, in the commune of Linguizzetta on Corsica's flat east coast, roughly midway between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio. It has been run by the same family for several decades; a naturist podcast credits Angi Filippi with founding it in the 1970s, and Marie Filippi now speaks for it. The estate covers around 100 hectares of eucalyptus and pine forest between a lagoon and the sea, with an organic almond grove grazed by a neighbour's sheep. Accommodation mixes shaded pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes (directory figures range from about 150 to 176) with villas, chalets, mini villas, lodges and mobile homes, most air-conditioned from 2026. Facilities include a sea-view restaurant, a beach snack bar, bars, a grocery, a wellness area with sauna, yoga and massage, a children's club in July and August, tennis, volleyball, pétanque and bike hire; there is no swimming pool. The site opens directly onto a long sand beach used nude. Nudity is the norm across the grounds, with light clothing asked for at reception and indoor restaurants and bars. The site holds the Clef Verte and EU Ecolabel and leaves seagrass on the beach rather than machine-cleaning it.
Campingplatz am Useriner See - FKK area
A forest campsite directly on the Useriner See within Müritz National Park, run by Haveltourist as a textile site with a separate naturist section and its own beach access. Nearby forest lakes suit swimming, canoeing and boating, and one of the national park's popular routes starts north of the lake.
Campingplatz Rutar Lido
FKK Seecamping Rutar Lido is an all-naturist campsite at Eberndorf in the Carinthian hills of southern Austria, about 477 metres above sea level. The 15-hectare site is built around a small lake landscape: one lake for swimming and dinghies and two for anglers. Six swimming pools are on the grounds, two of them indoors. About 218 pitches are sold to touring guests, 97 are for permanent campers, and there are 49 rental units. The naturist rules apply to the campsite, the beach and the pools, and male visitors are asked to hold a nudist pass before admission. One area is set aside for dog owners. Listings describe it as quiet and natural rather than party-oriented. Listings say it is open all year.

Candy Farm Naturist Site
A small naturist certified site at Candy Farm on Wroot Road, Finningley, near Doncaster, listed by British Naturism as the Doncaster Camping and Caravanning Club. It takes five caravans plus tents on a flat field and has flushing toilets, showers, a sauna and an above-ground pool. It is a peaceful spot with farm animals nearby, and it runs themed weekends through the season.
Cap d'Agde Naturist Village
Self-contained naturist quarter of Cap d'Agde on the Hérault coast, often called the naturist capital, with about 2 km of fine sand beach, a marina, residences such as Port Nature, Héliopolis and Port Soleil, hotels, a large campsite, restaurants, shops, a bank and medical services. Access is controlled from late March to mid-October: visitors register at the reception office at the Rond-point du Bagnas and receive a pass for their stay. Filming and photography are banned.
Carbeil Naturist Holiday Park
Carbeil Naturist Holiday Park is a small, family-run naturist campsite on the edge of Downderry, a village on the south-east Cornwall coast between Looe and Torpoint. It sits in a sheltered valley about half a mile from the village and roughly ten minutes' walk from the sea. The site is deliberately modest, with about 25 pitches for tents, caravans, motorhomes and small campervans, many with electric hook-ups, so it feels more like a quiet club field than a holiday resort. Its outdoor swimming pool is the main facility, and guests can be nude around the pitches and pool throughout their stay. A big draw is the proximity of Downderry's naturist beach: the undeveloped coves east of the village are traditionally used for nude bathing, and Carbeil is one of the few places in Cornwall where you can walk from a naturist campsite to a naturist beach. The park opens for the summer season only, from 1 May to 30 September in 2026, and is popular with returning British naturists, so book early for peak weeks.
Carolina Foothills Resort
Carolina Foothills Resort is a family-oriented nudist resort near Chesnee in the upstate of South Carolina, close to the North Carolina line. Members and visitors use its pool, hot tub, sports courts and wooded camping and RV sites, and many own homes on the grounds. It is affiliated with AANR, and first-time visitors should call ahead.
Casa Gioiosa
Hillside holiday rental surrounded by greenery with sea views on Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast, run by long-time naturist owners. Three independent units (a studio, a two-room flat and a self-catering double) sleep up to ten, and each has its own private outdoor space, so guests can be nude with a little discretion. The sea is 15 minutes away by car. Both naturist and textile guests are accepted.
Casa Vacanze La Sorgente
Naturist holiday rental in a restored early-1900s brick farmhouse in the Abruzzo hills, about 20 km from Pescara with views of the Majella. Two independent apartments for up to four people each share a pool and sun terrace, and some 5 hectares of woodland with a stream, benches and hammocks. Wi-Fi is available and pets are welcome. The owners live nearby and the setting is very quiet and rural.
Casale del Valla – B&B Naturista
Naturist agriturismo-style B&B with a spa in the Monferrato hills near Acqui Terme, run by hosts Barbara and Mario. Its panoramic Finnish sauna, described as the largest in Piedmont, hosts daily Aufguss sessions, and there is a hot tub, wood-fired tubs, a solarium and around 11 hectares of meadow and woodland. Capacity is capped at about 25 people, so it stays intimate. Day spa visits are offered as well as overnight stays.
Casuarina Beach
Casuarina Beach is the long beach of Casuarina Coastal Reserve in Darwin's northern suburbs, stretching along Beagle Gulf between Rapid Creek and Lee Point, with Darwin's main free (nude) beach on its northern part. The Northern Territory's Nudity Regulations designate part of Casuarina Beach as an area where nudity is permitted, and NT Parks says the nudist zone is on the beach north of Darriba Road, and that nudity outside this zone is illegal. The reserve covers several kilometres of white sand backed by casuarina trees, monsoon vine forest and low cliffs, with the Dripstone Cliffs at the southern end. Near the nude area is a rock formation that is a sacred site for the Larrakia people, which visitors are asked not to disturb. The southern part near Dripstone and the Darwin Surf Life Saving Club is a busy family beach. Swimming in Darwin's waters carries the usual Top End risks: box jellyfish and other stingers, mainly from October to May, and the possibility of saltwater crocodiles, so many visitors come to sunbathe and walk rather than swim.
Cedar Creek Resort
Cedar Creek Resort is an adults-only, private clothing-optional resort on about 45 acres near Leesville, between Columbia and Augusta, founded in 1989. Guests bring an RV or tent or rent a hut, cabin or RV unit, and use indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, a clubhouse with dance floor and frontage on Black Creek. Reservations are required before any visit.
Cedar Trails Nudist Retreat
Cedar Trails Nudist Retreat is a seasonal nudist campground on about 60 acres of wooded hills near Peebles in Adams County, southern Ohio, a few minutes from the Serpent Mound earthwork and under two hours from both Cincinnati and Columbus. It is a nudist venue rather than a clothing-optional one: guests are expected to undress on the grounds, swimsuits are not allowed in the pool, and newcomers are given a little time to settle in. Trails for walkers of all abilities wind through the property, and other activities include a swimming pool, a hot tub, volleyball, disc golf, petanque, cornhole and catch-and-release fishing. Overnight guests choose between RV sites with electric hookups, tent sites with fire pits and five cabins of different sizes with kitchens or kitchenettes; there are campground bathrooms and outdoor showers. The on-site Bare Bottoms Cafe serves mainly breakfast and lunch, and the summer calendar includes potlucks, dinners, pool parties and live music. Rules ban public sexual activity, discourage phone and camera use for privacy, and are backed by security cameras. The retreat describes itself as family and child friendly.
Cedar Waters Village
Cedar Waters Village is a private nudist park and campground on Todd Street in Nottingham, in southeastern New Hampshire. Members and approved guests camp and relax nude in a wooded setting.

Centre Gymnique d'Alsace
Members' naturist club with a five-hectare meadow and orchard about 20 km west of Strasbourg, on the road towards Saverne.

The naturist beach is about 100 m away, with beach restaurants nearby.
Cezar Naturyzm Bielsko-Biała
Cezar (Sauna Cezar, also styled Cezar Naturyzm Bielsko-Biała) is a small privately run naturist centre on ul. Ciesielska on the edge of Bielsko-Biała, at the foot of the Beskid mountains in southern Poland. Its hosts, Gosia and Peter, have been involved in naturism since 2002, and the centre links to the Polish Naturist Federation. The core is a wellness area with a heated, year-round indoor pool with underwater massage jets, sauna and jacuzzi, set in a large garden with an outdoor fire pit. Nudity is mandatory in the pool and sauna area and optional in the grounds. Accommodation is varied: a camping area plus around nine room types, from standard rooms and a studio to a forest cottage, a Beskid-style cabin, an apartment and a room with its own sauna. Rooms can be booked without using the naturist facilities, which are charged separately. There is a restaurant in a winter garden and a bar, and the surrounding hills offer hiking and mountain-bike routes. Children are accepted (those over six are charged as adults) but pets are not.

Countryside naturist guest room at Miniac-Morvan, between Saint-Malo and Dinan, where guests may be nude throughout the property. The private room has its own bathroom, and there is secure parking, a terrace with a garden view, Wi-Fi and a massage table. The FFN guide lists it as a partner giving licence holders a discount.
Chambre d'hôtes Nuage
FFN-approved bed and breakfast at La Vraie-Croix in the Morbihan reserved exclusively for naturists.

Adults-only naturist bed and breakfast in a restored 15th-century sheepfold above Les Vans in the southern Ardèche, opened in 2023. Three rooms and secluded outdoor spaces form an 'eagle's nest' hidden from view, with a pool and a striking panorama. Guests enjoy pétanque, hiking, cycling and canoeing nearby, and the town of Les Vans is 4 km away.
Chan Resort Pattaya
Chan Resort is a small naturist resort in the Thappraya area of south Pattaya, opened in 2009 by a Danish owner who also helped found the Naturist Association Thailand. It is promoted as the first resort in Thailand to cater specifically for naturists, and it serves both Thai and foreign guests, most of them couples. Life centres on the pool and gardens, where guests are encouraged to be nude throughout their stay; first-timers can ask for towels. The resort is clear that it is not a swingers' venue: sexual activity and intimate touching in shared areas are banned and lead to eviction, photos need permission each time, and short-time sex workers are not allowed. Only one male guest may stay per room, unless same-sex couples or relatives can show proof of their relationship. Smoking is allowed outside rooms only. Recent reviews describe the owner running the place with a reduced staff.
Charco del Palo
Charco del Palo is a small naturist village on the north-east coast of Lanzarote, about 3 km from Mala and Guatiza, surrounded by fields of prickly-pear cactus and old volcanic cones. It was founded around 1970 by the German developer Gregor Kaiser and is regarded as the first naturist resort in the Canary Islands. Most of it lies in the municipality of Haría, though the boundary with Teguise cuts through its southern edge. The village is made up of low white holiday apartments, bungalows and villas, many owned by northern Europeans, with a permanent population of only around 140-160. There is no sandy beach: the shore is dark volcanic rock, with concrete sunbathing terraces, ladders into the sea and three bathing spots, two of them natural pools that fill and empty with the tide and one giving access to open water. The clear water makes it popular for snorkelling and diving. A small supermarket and a few restaurants and terraces serve the village. Nudity is accepted throughout the streets, terraces and coast, and Spain's national tourism site describes the cove as facing a nudist development.
Charente Soleil
Family naturist bed and breakfast with four stone gîtes in the heart of the Charente at Saint-Angeau, open from May to September. Guests enjoy a heated pool, flowering gardens for all-over tanning and pétanque, and French and English TV. Breakfast is prepared each morning and a table d'hôte dinner can be booked. Oak forests, vineyards and Cognac houses are nearby.
Château Guiton
Naturist wine estate among the Bordeaux vineyards about 20 km from Saint-Émilion, with an 18th-century wine store and dovecote. Accommodation ranges from a 50 m² gîte in the old pigeon tower to a mobile home, a wooden cube cabin and furnished tents, plus about 30 camping pitches under walnut, acacia and oak trees. Guests can use the pool and sauna, sports areas, library and wine bar, and join shared meals and bread baking.
Cherry Lane Nudist Resort
Cherry Lane Nudist Resort is a privately owned, adults-only clothing-optional resort in rural Hillsdale County in southern Michigan, on North Adams Road outside the village of North Adams. It dates from the late 1960s, when the Bevis family turned a small farm into a nudist camp after trying nudism themselves, and the founders' son, Dennis Bevis, has been named as owner in press coverage. The site has grown to about 80 acres and now looks much like a large RV campground: most guests are seasonal campers with well-equipped trailers, and there is a clubhouse, a performance stage, a swimming pool and the usual hookups and security. It brands itself as Michigan's adult playground and states plainly that it is not a family naturist venue, so no one under 21 is admitted. The atmosphere is social and event-driven, with activities on most days in season, and press coverage notes a large swinger contingent and a crowd that leans older. Clothing is optional around most of the grounds, but the pool is the one place where clothing is not allowed. Members pay an annual fee that has been reported at up to $1,800.
Chez Marc et Cathy
Three-room bed and breakfast for couples at Lédenon in the Gard, at the foot of a 12th-century castle and close to many sights. The hosts welcome mainly naturist guests and beginners, both heterosexual and LGBT couples, and offer table d'hôte meals. The setting is calm and private.
CHM Montalivet (Centre Hélio-Marin)
CHM Montalivet, the Centre Hélio-Marin at Vendays-Montalivet on the Médoc coast north of Bordeaux, is widely described as the world's first naturist holiday centre. Albert and Christiane Lecocq founded it on 23 July 1950 as the Centre Naturiste Hélio-Marin de Guyenne on burnt forest land leased from the commune, and the International Naturist Federation was formally founded at its first congress here in 1953. Today it is one of the largest naturist resorts in Europe: about 175 to 220 hectares of pine forest behind the Atlantic dunes, split into some 20 villages with over 3,000 pitches, privately owned bungalows and caravans, and rentals ranging from mobile homes, chalets and studios to tents and tiny homes. Facilities include an outdoor naturist water park with slides, hot tubs and a paddling pool, an indoor lane pool, a central village of about 27 shops, restaurants and bars, tennis, archery, minigolf, a surf school, an outdoor cinema, a cultural centre with a library and kids' clubs for ages 3 to 17. The resort fronts about 2 km of naturist beach with two supervised bathing areas, one lively and one quiet. It is strongly family-oriented, and single guests are admitted only when introduced by an existing guest.
Claircité (Club du Soleil de Loir-et-Cher)
Five-hectare naturist ground called Claircité at Saint-Bohaire in the Cisse valley near Blois. Members bring tents or caravans or rent a bungalow with kitchenette, and enjoy a pool, volleyball, pétanque, table football and table tennis. A modern clubhouse with billiards and board games is used in bad weather. FFN licence holders can visit for the day.
Clover Spa and Hotel
A small naturist hotel and spa on Chester Road in Erdington, north Birmingham, opened in 2010-11 as the city's first naturist hotel. It has around seven bedrooms, a garden hot tub, a bar and spa treatments such as massage, and guests can stay nude throughout. It won a drinks licence in 2013. Most press coverage is older, so check current opening and prices before booking.
Club der Biehainer Sonnenfreunde
A naturist club campsite at Biehain in the municipality of Horka in Upper Lusatia, near Görlitz and the Polish border. It is listed in German naturist camping guides as one of Saxony's club sites for nude camping and recreation.

Club members can come all year, and FFN or other federation licence holders are welcome for the day or longer stays, pets included. Options include pitches of at least 100 m², a caravan or a small chalet, with free hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi, pool, fitness machines and children's play area.
Club du Soleil de Dijon – Diénay
Three-hectare naturist club ground at the edge of a forest in Diénay, about 25 minutes from Dijon, open year-round to families, couples and single people who are members.

Non-members can discover the site on open days held several times a year.
Club du Soleil de Dole
Shaded naturist club ground at Belmont in the Jura, 500 m from the River Loue, which is popular for fishing and canoeing.

The club stresses naturist ethics and a relaxed pace, and Dole and the salt works at Arc-et-Senans are close by.
Club du Soleil de Mulhouse
Volunteer-run naturist campsite (Camping Illfeld) at Réguisheim, north of Mulhouse, run by the Club du Soleil de Mulhouse. The grounds mix sunny and shaded areas among abundant planting, and guests pitch tents or caravans where they like.

Summer evenings often feature shared meals such as tarte flambée or paella.
Club du Soleil de Troyes
Family naturist campsite of 4.5 hectares beside the Seine and a pond at Verrières, just outside Troyes.

Through the Interclub Naturiste du Léman, members can swim nude in a Geneva pool on Wednesday evenings.
Club du Soleil Mont-Blanc
Mountain naturist club with a large chalet on a four-hectare plot at Mercury, near Albertville in Savoie, used by members since 1966.

Club Gymnique de France
Pioneering naturist club with a 13-hectare estate at Villecresnes in the Val-de-Marne, offering a mix of sun and shade.

The Bue Marino caves, Cala Gonone and Cala Luna are a short drive away.
Club Leuchtenburg (ANAA-SFKK)
Members-only naturist grounds of the South Tyrol naturist association ANAA-SFKK, set among orchards just south of Lake Caldaro below the ruined Leuchtenburg castle.

It opens for daytime use only and makes a peaceful sunbathing spot in a famous wine area.
Club Naturel
A non-landed naturist swimming and social club for Norfolk and Suffolk.

The club also organises beach trips, visits to landed clubs and dining events.
Club Naturiste de Besançon
Wooded naturist club ground about 20 km from Besançon, welcoming members and visiting campers who hold an FFN licence. There are pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes plus simple chalets, a communal house with hot water and fridge, a volleyball court, children's play equipment and a library. The atmosphere is family-centred, and the Saline Royale at Arc-et-Senans and the Osselle caves are nearby.
Club Naturiste du Bois Mareuil
Naturist club ground in the beech forest of Lyons, Normandy, at Lorleau, where members have practised authentic naturism since 1976. Members can pitch a tent or leave a caravan all year. There is a pool and boules area, and activities through the year include walks, ground clean-ups followed by crêpes, reading workshops and a Christmas meal. Curious non-naturists, particularly women, are encouraged to try a discovery day hosted by a female team.
Club Saint-Paul (naturist Mondays)
Mixed wellness club in the Marais in central Paris with a sauna, hammam, pool, massages and tea room. Every Monday from 2 pm to 10 pm the space operates as a naturist session, and the club is listed by the FFN as a partner. It is one of very few places in the capital for a nude sauna and swim.
Clube Naturista do Centro
Clube Naturista do Centro, usually called CNC, is a Portuguese naturist association based in Lisbon and a member of the Portuguese Naturist Federation (FPN). It has no clubhouse or grounds of its own that we could find; its headquarters shares an address with the federation. The club runs a calendar of meetings across Portugal, held at partner sites: naturist beaches such as Praia da Adica and Praia do Meco near Sesimbra, the Monte Naturista O Barao near Santiago do Cacem, the Quinta do Maral near Marvao, and occasional events at Palmela, Setubal and Piodao. Its activities include indoor naturist pool sessions in Lisbon and at Alvito, naturist camping meetings, an annual naturist grape harvest with a picnic, and textile walks and kayak trips, which the club marks as clothed. Pool sessions and other activities require online registration through the club's own booking pages. The club states its founding year as 1988 in one place and 1998 in another; it is the older of the Portuguese federated clubs.
Coady's Cabana
Coady's Cabana is an adults-only, clothing-optional retreat in the hills above Okanagan Lake, minutes from downtown Penticton in British Columbia. Nudity is optional around the pool and gardens, and guests share the pool, hot tub and garden with other adults and the hosts' friends. Accommodation is a cabana with its own hot tub, a lakeview studio with a full kitchen, and a safari-style glamping tent. The stay is self-catering, with no breakfast or daily cleaning. Robes and sarongs are provided, and pets are not allowed. The only description I found is the directory listing, which does not state a naturist federation affiliation. Penticton's public beaches have been the subject of nudity disputes in local news, but this is a private property. Current pricing and an official website were not found, so check booking details directly before visiting.
Cobblers Beach
Cobblers Beach is a small harbour beach on the northern side of Middle Head, near Mosman, in Sydney Harbour National Park. It faces north across the entrance to Middle Harbour toward Dobroyd Head and the Grotto Point lighthouse, backed by bushland and a grassy area. It is one of the two Sydney beaches named as designated nude bathing beaches in the NSW Local Government Amendment (Nude Bathing) Act 1996, and the national parks service describes it as a designated nude bathing area. Nudity is allowed on the sand and in the water only; clothing is required in the surrounding bushland and on the grassed area directly behind the beach. The water is usually calm and good for snorkelling and paddling, though the beach is unpatrolled and can have rip currents, and stingrays live in the shallows. It is popular with Sydney's naturists and gay community on summer weekends.
Colina do Sol
Colina do Sol is one of Brazil's best-known naturist grounds, set on hilly countryside at Morro da Pedra outside Taquara in Rio Grande do Sul. It began in 1995 as a private project of naturists Celso Rossi and Paula Andreazza and in 2001 became a non-profit civil association, the Clube Naturista Colina do Sol (CNCS), whose property belongs to its members. An academic study of the site describes about 45 hectares, a dozen families living there permanently, roughly a hundred cabins for rent or seasonal use, a hostel and a camping area, plus a lake with a man-made beach and a stone-built pool. Accommodation is not run by the club itself: cabins, the Hotel Ubuntu and other lodgings are offered by independent providers and booked directly with them, but every guest must follow the club's ethics code and internal rules. The club also lists a small shop and a restaurant. Separate written rules apply to unaccompanied visitors, so single guests should read them before travelling. As a members' association it hosts residents as well as weekend and holiday visitors, which gives it more of a village feel than a hotel.
Collins Beach
Collins Beach is a mile-long sandy beach on the Columbia River shore of Sauvie Island, about 20 miles northwest of downtown Portland, inside the 12,000-acre Sauvie Island Wildlife Area run by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. It sits at milepost 11 on Reeder Road, a quarter mile past where the pavement ends, and is one of Oregon's two official clothing-optional beaches (the other is Rooster Rock). The clothing-optional area runs for about 1,400 feet south of the private-property signs at the north boundary; ODFW asks nude users to stay inside the posted limits, and straying onto the clothed North Unit Beach next door has caused complaints from landowners. The beach is fine river sand backed by cottonwoods, with views of passing cargo ships and across to Washington. River levels change the beach width through the year, and in early summer snowmelt can leave it narrow. Ship wakes can be strong. It draws a relaxed, local mix of regulars, couples and groups of friends, and has been used by nudists since at least the 1970s.
Conundrum Hot Springs
Conundrum Hot Springs is one of Colorado's best-known wild hot springs, set in an alpine basin at about 11,200 feet in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness south of Aspen. Reaching it takes a full-day hike of about 8.5 miles each way up the Conundrum Creek valley, with around 2,500 feet of climbing. The springs form a main pool, the hottest at up to about 103°F (39°C), plus a few smaller, cooler pools, all with a natural rock and gravel bottom and views of the surrounding 13,000-foot peaks. Clothing is unofficially optional, and guides note that nude soakers often outnumber those in swimsuits; the expected etiquette is simply not to stare. There are no facilities of any kind. The springs were so heavily used that the Forest Service described them as being loved to death, with problems from human waste and overcrowded campsites, and in 2018 it introduced a reservation permit system for overnight camping. Day hikers can still visit without a reservation if they head back before dark. Snow usually covers the trail from October to June.
Corio Valley Nudist Club (She Oaks Nudist Club)
The members-run Corio Valley Nudist Club has its grounds at She Oaks, next to Brisbane Ranges National Park and a few kilometres from Steiglitz Historic Park, inland from Geelong. The 56 acres of bushland have walking trails, a solar-heated saltwater pool, on-site accommodation, and room for caravans and tents. Through the warmer months the club holds regular social events, and both day visitors and overnight guests can come.
Cortijo Naturista con Vistas
Cortijo Naturista con Vistas is an adults-only naturist rural property at Oria, in the mountains of Almería province between the Rambla de Oria and the town of Albox. It sits on about two hectares and is laid out with terraces and views over the countryside. Nudity is optional outdoors and in the pool area, which is the main naturist space. The heated pool measures about 10 by 5 metres and is open for most of the year. There is a jacuzzi and a bar for guests. Sources disagree on the number of rental units: one describes three apartments and a cave house, another says only two flats were ready and the rest were still under construction, and a rental listing shows a single unit. Capacity is quoted at eight guests. Prices from about 47 euros per person per night were quoted, with no year given. Pets are not allowed. Because the layout and unit count vary between sources, confirm the current set-up with the owners before booking.
Costa Natura
Costa Natura is a naturist apartment resort on the western edge of Estepona on the Costa del Sol, opened in 1979 and widely described as Spain's first naturist resort. It is run as a community by the Asociacion Naturista Costa Natura. The complex is built in the style of a white Andalusian village, with more than 190 apartments and studios from about 18 to 56 square metres, each with a private terrace, some owned privately and many let to holidaymakers. The centre of resort life is a 22-metre heated pool kept at around 30C all year, with a smaller children's pool, set among gardens of palms and Mediterranean plants. There is also a sauna and jacuzzi, a gym, and The Brasserie restaurant beside the pool serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Classes such as aqua aerobics and Pilates run in season. The resort fronts directly onto the sea; the strip of beach in front of the complex is naturist, and is narrow and pebbly. Nudity is the norm inside the resort, which welcomes couples and families. It is open year-round.
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
Coswig: Baggersee
The Badesee Coswig-Kötitz is a former gravel pit on the right bank of the Elbe in Coswig, between Radebeul and Meißen, run by the town-owned Technische Werke Coswig as a combined lake bath and outdoor pool. The 21-hectare grounds include a natural lake of about 7 hectares with a swimming island, a 25 m pool, a fun pool with a 47 m slide, a paddling pool, large lawns, sports courts, a restaurant and snack bar, and a campsite. The operator lists a generously laid-out FKK beach as part of the facilities. Visitor reports put the FKK area at the far side of the grounds, roughly a ten-minute walk from the entrance, which keeps it separate from the busy family areas near the pools. The lake has sand entries and gently shelving sections. It is a paid, staffed facility rather than a wild beach, which makes it a straightforward choice for a day of nude swimming with services close by, and it sits directly on the Elbe cycle route.
Côte Sauvage
The Côte Sauvage is the long, straight Atlantic shore of the Arvert peninsula, running north-west from La Palmyre toward the Pointe Espagnole and the Maumusson channel opposite Oléron, backed by high dunes and the pine forest of La Coubre. On the La Tremblade section, the Royan Atlantique tourist office says naturism is authorised between beach access post no. 10 at Pointe Espagnole and post no. 30 at La Bouverie (older listings gave post 32), so nude bathers spread along several kilometres of fine sand. The beach is open ocean, exposed to big swells and strong currents: it is popular for surfing, bodyboarding and surf-casting, and the tourist office stresses great caution when swimming; stay near the lifeguarded zone in summer. There is little shade beyond the dunes, and the crowd thins quickly the farther you walk from the car parks. The southern part of the coast (Les Mathes/La Lède) has its own separate naturist area.
CottonTail Corner indoor nude swims
Monthly indoor nude swims in Edmonton organised by the CottonTail Corner naturist group, which also looks after a clothing-optional river beach near Devon. Two-hour evening sessions are held at rented city pools, mainly Hardisty Fitness and Leisure Centre and, for the 2026-27 winter, Grand Trunk pool. Children swim free with a parent, and the group has been running city nude swims for decades.
Counties Sun Club
Counties Sun Club is a small members' naturist club in rural Ramarama, south of Auckland, listed in the New Zealand Naturist Federation's club directory. Its grounds cover about 3.5 acres of landscaped, well-fenced and tree-shaded land at 112 Ramarama Road. The clubhouse has a kitchen, laundry with washing machine, hot showers and toilets, and there is a covered barbecue area. For recreation the club has a swimming pool with a separate children's pool and courts for the classic New Zealand club games of miniten, volleyball and tennikoits. Visitors can stay in a small chalet with a queen bed or camp on powered sites on the upper level or unpowered sites, all on firm ground that does not flood. The club welcomes new members and says it is happy to host overseas visitors and campers holding an INF card. It is the closest naturist club to Auckland International Airport, about 30 km away.

Couples Tower Isle
Couples Tower Isle is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort for couples on Jamaica's north coast at Tower Isle in St Mary parish, about 20 minutes east of Ocho Rios. It is the original property of the family-run Couples chain and is often cited as Jamaica's first all-inclusive hotel. The 19-acre beachfront site has four pools, three hot tubs, six restaurants, five bars and a spa, with watersports such as kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing, snorkelling and paddleboarding included in the rate. It is a textile resort with one exception: a small offshore cay reached by the resort's boat shuttle, a few minutes from the main beach, which is set aside as a clothing-optional area. Nudity is not allowed anywhere on the main resort grounds. A fort and vegetation screen the island from view of the mainland. The resort is open year-round and is known for a high share of repeat guests.
Crakaig Beach
Crakaig Beach is on the east coast of Sutherland at Loth, a few miles north of Brora, on the stretch of the A9 between Brora and Helmsdale. It is a remote sandy beach with dunes behind it, near a small river mouth. In 2006 the landowner set aside part of the beach for naturists. Several guides describe the naturist section as running from the river mouth to Lothbeg Point, and call it the only officially designated naturist beach on mainland Scotland. A walking-club guide warns that those claims may just repeat one another. A small campsite next to the beach takes caravans and tents. It is normally a clothed site but opens to naturists for one week around World Naturist Day in early June. It has basic toilets and showers. A 2006 visitor found midges no problem and the sea warm enough to swim. One guide recommends swimming near the river mouth, while a review calls the beach less good for swimming. Brora has shops for supplies. Information is sparse and much of it dates from 2006, so check the current arrangements, for example with the campsite, before you travel.
Croft Country Club
A family-oriented naturist club across three meadows at Three Holes in the Fens, on the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire border. It has a heated indoor pool with sauna and shower suite, a hot tub, an outdoor pool, an 18-hole putting green, miniten and petanque, plus a clubhouse with games room. About 60 hook-up pitches, seasonal pitches, two hire cabins and a shepherd's hut are available. There is no bar.
Cron4 Brunico – Sauna landscape
Leisure pool and wellness centre in the Reischach/Riscone sports zone of Bruneck, with a sauna landscape of around 3,000 m², much of it outdoors with views of the Kronplatz. Saunas built from natural materials, Kneipp facilities, relaxation rooms and a vitality bar complement five pools. The operator describes the sauna zone as a nudist area, with bathing slippers and two sauna towels required. It also hosts Aufguss championships.
Cufra Cliffs Cottage
Cufra Cliffs Cottage is a self-contained cottage-style guest wing attached to a house on Thetis Island in British Columbia. It sits on a cliff about 300 feet above Cufra Inlet and looks west toward the mountains of Vancouver Island. The suite has a queen bedroom, a wood stove and a kitchenette, plus a cliff-edge hot tub and a pool that is available in warmer months. According to a naturist directory, nudity is permitted throughout the property and the site suits all ages, though the cliffs may make it unsuitable for small children. Pets are not allowed. A bed and breakfast listing on HelloBC describes the same property but does not mention nudity, so the naturist policy rests on the directory alone. Confirm the policy with the owners before booking.
Cypress Cove Nudist Resort
Cypress Cove is a family-owned nudist resort on the southern edge of Kissimmee, south of Orlando, operating since 1964 and one of the best-known landed nudist resorts in the United States. The property covers nearly 300 acres: a 50-acre lake, about 130 acres of protected wetland, 20 acres of recreation grounds, and a residential community of privately owned homes. Visitors can stay in one of 84 villa hotel rooms and apartments, or in the campground and RV park. On-site there are two places to eat, the Lakeside Restaurant and Cheeks Bar & Grill, heated pools and a hot tub, a white-sand lakeside beach and sun deck, canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boats, fishing, a 9-hole chip-and-putt course, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness centre, a salon and massage. Activity clubs and themed weekends run through the year, including an Open House in July and Nude-A-Palooza in October. The resort describes itself as family-friendly; children are welcome. Nudity is welcomed everywhere and expected around the pools, and guests carry a towel to sit on. Members of AANR, The Naturist Society and INF-affiliated groups can get discounts.
D'Ève es-tu
Naturist bed and breakfast in an independent longère in the Berry at Lignières (Cher), about three hours from Paris, Lyon and Nantes. It has five comfortable rooms, a breakfast room and two small lounges. Guests can relax in a fully enclosed 4,000 m² garden with a swimming pool and sunloungers. FFN licence holders receive a discount from the first night.
Dakota Hot Springs
Dakota Hot Springs is a small, privately run mineral pool on a 160-acre property in the high desert near Penrose, Colorado, between Cañon City and Pueblo and about 40 miles south-west of Colorado Springs, at roughly 5,200 feet with views towards the mountains. An artesian well drilled during oil exploration in 1924 delivers odorless water at about 108°F (42°C); the main free-form concrete pool settles at around 95-98°F (35-37°C), hottest near the wellhead. The site was known in the 1990s as The Well, and later owners rebranded it and worked to shed its rough reputation. Today it is clothing-optional every open day except Tuesday, when swimsuits are required and families are welcome. Rules are strict: no sexual or intimate behaviour, phones and cameras stay in the car, no glass and no smoking. Facilities are simple, with a bathhouse and showers, sun chairs, and tent and RV sites and camper rentals on the property. Many regulars come from Colorado Springs, and the atmosphere is low-key rather than resort-like.
Dayton Warm Breezes Naturist Club
Dayton Warm Breezes Naturist Club is a social naturist club for the Dayton area of southwest Ohio, affiliated with AANR. Rather than running its own grounds, the club organises nude swims, gatherings and trips for members at rented venues and other naturist parks in the region. Coordinates mark Dayton; contact the club for event locations.
De Vier Elementen (Zon en Leven)
A small water-sports island of naturist association Zon en Leven on the fourth Loosdrecht lake near Breukeleveen. Members swim, sunbathe, sail, surf, canoe and camp in a handful of tent spots; there is a small harbour for your own boat, or you can row across from the mainland. Part grassland, part marsh, with a sauna and shared clubhouse.
Deep Creek Hot Springs
Deep Creek Hot Springs is a cluster of natural rock and sand pools where geothermal water seeps into Deep Creek in a desert canyon on the north side of the San Bernardino National Forest, between Hesperia/Apple Valley and Lake Arrowhead. Hot water collects in several small soaking pools of varying temperatures right beside the cool, clear creek, so visitors alternate between the two. The Pacific Crest Trail follows the creek for 16 miles here, and the drainage is a State Wild Trout Stream with the richest wildlife habitat in the forest, including endangered arroyo toads. There are no facilities at all: no restrooms, drinking water or trash service, and camping and campfires are prohibited. The springs are informally clothing optional, and nude soaking is common and widely reported; the Forest Service page itself is silent on clothing. The water is known to harbour the amoeba that causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, so never put your head under or swallow water, and coliform counts are highest around the busy pools. Summer temperatures can top 100 F, and the climb back out is steep and exposed.
Denny Blaine Beach
Denny Blaine Park is a small, roughly two-acre park on the western shore of Lake Washington in Seattle's Denny-Blaine neighbourhood, surrounded by some of the city's most expensive homes. It is Seattle's best-known nude beach and has been a gathering place for nonsexual nudity for decades. The 'beach' is a grassy lawn rather than sand, sloping down to an old stone wall that marked the lakeshore before the Lake Washington Ship Canal lowered the lake by about nine feet in 1917; people sunbathe on the grass and swim off the wall into fresh water. There is no lifeguard. Since 2025 the park has been formally split: a fenced lower area by the water is signed clothing-optional, while the area west of the fence, by the entrance, is clothing-required. The park is also an important space for Seattle's queer, transgender and gender-diverse community, which the City Council recognised by resolution. A volunteer group, Friends of Denny Blaine, publishes behaviour guidelines and asks visitors to keep it 'nude, not lewd'. Expect a busy, social crowd on warm summer afternoons and a quieter scene early in the day.
Desert Reef Hot Spring
Desert Reef Hot Springs is a small, privately run soaking resort on a 77.5-acre parcel of high-desert scrub outside Florence in Fremont County, Colorado, roughly 40 miles southwest of Colorado Springs, with mountain views to the west. Water comes from an artesian geothermal well and fills five pools: a main pool about 36 by 50 feet (around 40,000 gallons) plus four smaller tubs, and there is a cold plunge big enough for two. The operators list average temperatures of about 100-104°F in winter and 96-108°F in summer. The whole facility is adults only (18+), and swimsuits are optional on most days; the exception is Friday, when suits are required until 6:30 pm. Wednesday daytime is reserved for members and Splash Pass holders, and Tuesday is closed to day visitors. Single men or groups of men must be accompanied by a partner or a woman. Phones are not allowed in the pool area, there are no lockers, and guests may bring at most two alcoholic drinks (no glass). It is deliberately low-key rather than spa-like: restrooms with a shower, changing rooms, and rentable vintage Airstreams, tiny homes and van camping spots for overnight stays.
Desert Shadows Inn
Palm Springs clothing-optional resort hotel with pools and mountain views, popular in the desert naturist scene.
Desford Swim
An established naturist swim group seven miles west of Leicester that uses the pool, showers and sports hall at Bosworth Academy in Desford every Sunday from 3:30pm to 5pm during term time. Badminton and table tennis are available as well as swimming.

Didcot Wave Naturist Swim (Oxnat)
Oxford Naturist Club hires the Didcot Wave leisure pool on Newlands Avenue for naturist swims at 7:30pm on most Saturdays, about twenty a year. The pool has a wave machine. Members of British Naturism and BN-affiliated clubs can join, but must contact the club before each visit. Entry is about GBP 10 for an hour in the pool.
Diogenes Sun Club
A family-friendly naturist site in six acres of countryside on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border, convenient for London and the M25. It has gardens and a country house, an outdoor pool in summer, a heated indoor pool all year, a sauna, a plunge pool, tennis, pickleball, boules and miniten, plus a children's play area. Women-only swim evenings and wellness weekends feature in its events.
Dolcoed Naturist Campsite
A naturist campsite near the hamlet of Maesycrugiau on the Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion border in west Wales. Its name means 'meadow in the wood', and the sheltered site has a small lake and views toward the western Brecon Beacons and the Cambrian Mountains. Red kites and buzzards are common overhead, and the Teifi valley and the Cardigan Bay coast are within reach.
Domaine de Bélézy
Domaine de Bélézy is a naturist campsite on about 25 hectares of pine forest at the foot of Mont Ventoux, in Bédoin in the Vaucluse department of Provence. The estate grew up around an 18th-century Provençal farmhouse. The grounds hold camping pitches, lodges, safari tents, bungalows and mobile homes, and the regional tourism board lists naturists as the site's clientele. Facilities include two swimming pools, one heated, a restaurant, a bar, a shop, a wellness and balneotherapy centre, tennis courts, a football pitch, an outdoor fitness area and archery, plus a children's farm, which makes it a family site as well. Nudity is encouraged across the grounds, and one directory says it is required in the pool area; I did not confirm that rule on the official site. Pets are not allowed. The 2026 season runs from 7 May to 27 September, and the mountain's trails make the setting popular with walkers in spring and autumn.
Domaine de Calypso
Charming naturist guest house in a restored 18th-century former monastery at the foot of the Garlaban hills, between Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Aubagne and Cassis. It offers five rooms and suites for two with bathtubs, plus a gîte. Guests relax in a landscaped garden with centenarian trees and a heated 12 m pool. Walks on Pagnol's trails and in the calanques are nearby.
Domaine de l'Églantière
Family naturist campsite at Ariès-Espénan near Castelnau-Magnoac, on the banks of the Gers river, where privacy is respected as much as the freedom to be nude. Accommodation ranges from pitches to mobile homes, chalets and a gîte. Guests enjoy a heated pool, sauna, hammocks, a restaurant using local produce, music and dance evenings and paid naturist massages, plus naturist hiking, river swimming, pétanque and canoeing.

Domaine de la Gagère
Domaine de la Gagère is a naturist campsite and holiday centre in the Nièvre department near Luzy, on the southern edge of the Morvan regional natural park in Burgundy. The site sits in wooded hills on about 5 hectares with views over the valley, reached by a winding road of roughly 3 km.

Facilities include two heated swimming pools (one open all season), a sauna and wellness area, a restaurant and bar, a snack bar, a shop and a children's paddling pool. Sports include boules, volleyball and table tennis. Nudity is encouraged throughout the property, and one directory says all ages are welcome. The Morvan park's listing says the site has held the Qualité Tourisme label since 2023. The season is April to September according to one listing, and the operator's details have changed over time, so check current information directly.
Domaine de la Sablière
Domaine naturiste de La Sablière is a 62-hectare naturist holiday park in the Cèze gorge at Saint-Privat-de-Champclos in the Gard, between the Cévennes, Provence and the Ardèche. It is a family-oriented resort devoted to naturism. Accommodation is a mix of chalets, mobile homes, furnished tents and camping pitches, all rated 4-star with several quality labels. The grounds have river-edge beaches, a covered and heated pool with views over the valley, an outdoor pool, a paddling pool with slides, a sauna, a restaurant, bar and small supermarket, and a tennis court. A kids' club and evening entertainment run in July and August. Nudity is expected in most areas and mandatory by the pool, according to the naturist listings. The park is open for the summer season, with the 2026 dates given as 7 May to 20 September. Visitor ratings are good, and the site is particularly popular with families.

The Domaine des Monts de Bussy is a small naturist campsite on a ten-hectare hillside estate at Bussy-Varache near Eymoutiers, in the Millevaches regional nature park of the Limousin. It has around 20 camping pitches and ten mobile homes, a heated pool, play areas and a bar, and a footpath leads down to the Vienne river through the gorges. Some listings now show the site under the name Domaine de Junora, so confirm the current operator and naturist rules before travelling. Open roughly mid-April to mid-October.
Domaine Naturiste La Genèse
Family naturist holiday centre in the Gard on the banks of the Cèze, with a white sand and pebble river beach. Tents, mobile homes and chalets are spread over several neighbourhoods, including a hilltop 'Colline' area with views of the ruined Château de Fereyrolles. It welcomes newcomers to naturism.

Domaine Naturiste Laulurie en Périgord
Laulurie is a small naturist holiday site in the wooded hills of the Périgord, south-east of Périgueux in the Dordogne. Visitor reviews describe a friendly, host-run site with a pool, a small shop and bar, a library and regular communal meals such as barbecues. It is a quiet place for relaxing and walking rather than for entertainment. Recent information is scarce and booking platforms show no availability, so contact the site directly to confirm it is still operating before you go.
Domaine Naturiste Le Fayard
Forest naturist campsite in Corrèze at Veix, among streams, lakes and the Monédières hills, open from mid-May to early October. It has 27 pitches plus rental caravans and small houses, a heated pool, a sauna free once a week, clean hot showers and free Wi-Fi.

A bar-snack, aqua-gym, massages, welcome drinks and a children's club are offered, and the lake water is exceptionally clear.
Donauinsel
The Donauinsel is the 21 km artificial island between the Danube and the Neue Donau flood channel in Vienna, and the city's biggest free bathing area. Naturists have used these floodplains since before the island was built. Today about eight kilometres of its banks are set aside for nude bathing, in two separate zones. The larger and better-equipped zone is in the south, on the Neue Donau side between river kilometres 2.1 and 5.1, plus the left-bank flood dam opposite. It has wide lawns, trees for shade, small gravel beaches, steps into the water, snack stands and toilets. The northern zone, between kilometres 17.7 and 19.5, is wilder and has no facilities. Markings on the path show where each zone begins and ends. Nudity is allowed inside them but not required. The Neue Donau is a calm channel, and swimmers enter from steps or small beaches. The southern zone draws a wide mix of Viennese, including many older regulars. In 2024 a district councillor complained that the slippery water steps and reduced mown lawns showed the FKK area was being neglected compared with the rest of the island.
Dover Naturist Swim Club
A friendly mixed group of adult naturists who swim at Dover Leisure Centre at Whitfield on Sunday evenings from autumn to spring, 8:30pm to 9:30pm. The club has exclusive use of the pool and the adjacent sauna and steam rooms. Strong swimming is not required: many members come for the social side, while others swim lengths.
Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat
Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat is a small, family-oriented nudist campground in the wooded hills of Switzerland County in south-eastern Indiana, near Bennington and not far from the Ohio River. Listings date it to 1964 and say it is affiliated with AANR. As the name suggests, it is rustic: water is hauled in to the site, there are a handful of taps around the grounds, and showers are in the bathhouse. Accommodation is a mix of tent pitches, RV sites with 20 or 30 amp hookups and a few rustic cabins for rent; the state campground roster records about ten sites. Recreation centres on a swimming pool where nudity is required, a hot tub, a small lake used for fishing (and skating in winter), sunning lawns and hiking trails. A clubhouse with a kitchen, games, ping-pong and a performance stage is the social hub, and outdoor games include volleyball, cornhole, horseshoes, tetherball, basketball, ladder ball and axe throwing, plus a children's play area. Rules are typical of traditional clubs: sit on a towel, no photography in common areas without permission, quiet hours from 11pm to 8am, and dogs allowed under pet rules. It opens in spring, summer and autumn.
Dreiländereck Ferienpark der Naturisten
A naturist holiday park near Steinenstadt in Neuenburg am Rhein, close to where Germany, France and Switzerland meet. It is a pure nude campsite, listed in national guides among Germany's top naturist camping sites, and serves as a base for exploring the Markgräflerland wine region, the Rhine and nearby Basel.
Dyer Woods Nudist Campground
Dyer Woods is a private, family-oriented nudist campground on about 200 acres of woods and meadows in Foster, western Rhode Island, within which a 25-acre campground is developed. The land was farmed until founder Ken Walker turned it into a nudist camp in the 1960s; his family still owns it, and around 65 members lease sites, some with their own cabins. It is a nudist camp rather than a clothing-optional resort: nudity is expected in the common areas, though not enforced on trails or at private sites, and new visitors can take time to undress. Highlights include a swimming pond with a waterslide near the entrance, a quarry with smooth ledges for sunbathing deeper in the woods, a hot tub and a wood-fired sauna, and walking trails through a nature preserve that hides an orchard, a cranberry bog, a stone storage chamber and two small historic cemeteries with graves from the early 1800s. Tent and camper sites can be booked for a night, a weekend or longer. The membership skews over forty, and the club has courted younger visitors with student discounts and World Skinny Dip Day events.
Eagles Embrace Naturist Nest
A members-run parkland exclusively for naturists in the Lanark County hills west of Ottawa. Guests can tent, park a trailer for off-grid boondocking or rent one of the small cabins, and enjoy a saltwater pool, a sauna, a hot shower and shared community areas. The site also hosts private events, festivals and retreats during its May to October season.
East Haven Sun Club
A naturist RV resort and campground in eastern Ontario between Ottawa and Montreal, spread over about 70 acres of forest. It has fully serviced camping spaces, furnished cabins and equipped RVs for rent, plus recreation facilities and a social programme.

Couples and solo visitors are welcome, and it is affiliated with both the Canadian and Quebec naturist federations.
East Midlands Sun Folk
A long-established club on an eight-acre site between Lincoln and Gainsborough, with over 100 touring and static caravans and around 250 members. Facilities include a modern clubhouse with TV lounge, a games and bowls room, a kitchen, showers and toilets, an outdoor heated swimming pool and a children's play area placed where it can easily be supervised.
Ecocampeggio Naturista Sasso Corbo
Ecological naturist campsite at about 600 m altitude in the southern Tuscan hills, overlooking the WWF Rocconi nature reserve and, on clear days, the Tyrrhenian Sea. Pitches are spacious and the atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, with shared meals and local wine. The free thermal pools of Saturnia are a short drive away. The access road is steep, so check directions before arriving with a large van.
Eden Aquadétente
Naturist association ground created in 1997 at Boulogne-sur-Helpe in the Avesnois regional nature park. It offers spacious pitches with or without electricity for tents, mobile homes and caravans, a heated pool, communal barbecue, children's games, boules court and fishing pond. Naturist facilities also include a sauna, fitness room and relaxation area, and shared meals are organised.

Guests can relax by the pool or in the spa, sauna and hammam, and a massage table is available. The area suits cycling and walking, adventure parks and museums. FFN licence holders get a free one-hour spa, hammam and sauna session.
Eden RV Resort
Eden RV Resort is a clothing-optional RV resort on 11 acres in Hudson, on Florida's Gulf Coast in Pasco County about an hour north of Tampa. It says it has been part of Pasco County's nudist scene since 1968, and it sits next to City Retreats, a privately owned 30-acre nudist residential community whose three miles of roads guests may use for walking and jogging. Eden is an AANR club and has been featured in AANR's club spotlights. The focus is a pool and jacuzzi area beside a tiki hut that serves food and drinks, busiest during the weekend entertainment and dances. Other activities listed by AANR and guests include pickleball and tennis, petanque, volleyball, water volleyball and bags, plus walking trails. Most guests come in their own RV, using hookup sites by the night or longer, and there are some rental units. Nudism here is clothing optional rather than required, and the resort describes it as a lifestyle balanced with nature. Every guest passes a background check, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Discounted midweek day passes and free Saturday day passes for women are offered as promotions.
Eilat
by road) close to Princess Hotel is frequently visited by nude bathers. It is a great location for snorkelling above the tropical coral reefs.
El Dorado Hot Springs
El Dorado Hot Spring sits on the flat Sonoran Desert edge of Tonopah, about 45 miles west of Phoenix, off Interstate 10. It is a rustic, homemade-feeling mineral spring rather than a resort: hot, continuously flowing well water feeds a scatter of soaking tubs around the property, some of them private and screened by wooden fencing, plus a larger communal pool where most guests soak nude. Clothing is optional throughout the soaking areas, and reviewers note that nudity is also encouraged to keep soap and swimwear chemicals out of the water. The grounds are home to roaming peacocks, ducks, quail and pigs, and there are campsites and RV spots with some electric hookups, so many visitors stay overnight, especially snowbirds in winter. Facilities are basic and showing wear in places. Water temperature is described as warm to moderately hot rather than scalding. Prices reported in 2026 guides were about $15 per hour for a private tub and $10 per hour or $30 per day for the communal pool, but the official website is no longer active, so rates should be confirmed by phone.
El Fonoll
El Fonoll is a small medieval hamlet in the Conca de Barberà, inland Catalonia, rebuilt as a naturist village. First recorded in 1305, it was abandoned and in ruins by the late 20th century until the Barcelona businessman Emili Vives bought it, with more than 150 hectares of surrounding land, in the mid-1990s and restored almost every building in the original limestone, despite resistance from local authorities. It sits at about 650 m in a quiet wooded valley about 5 km from Passanant. Around 200 people can stay, between long-term residents and holiday guests, in apartments in the restored houses, scattered stone cabins and a camping and caravan area; the Catalan Naturism Club has its own building there. There is a shop, a vegetarian café, a library, a pool, sports grounds and picnic and barbecue areas, with power from wind and solar and vegetables from organic plots. Community life includes Sunday paellas and seasonal calçotades and chestnut feasts. Passers-by are not barred, but signs ask visitors to undress where possible and not to smoke or use cameras.
El Playazo de Vera
El Playazo, on the Vera Playa coast in Almería, is the heart of one of Europe's largest naturist resort areas. It is a long, broad sandy beach backed by naturist apartment complexes such as Vera Natura and Natsun, and nudity is normal on the sand, at the beach bars and in parts of the resort itself. The northern section is the naturist one. The southern end has a more textile tradition. Expect a sociable, mixed crowd of couples and families, with steady wind and moderate waves on some days. It hosted a Guinness-recognised mass nude swim in 2013.
El Portús (now TAIGA Costa Cálida)
This campsite at El Portús, about 10 km south-west of Cartagena, no longer runs as a naturist venue. It now trades as TAIGA Costa Cálida, a camping resort in the Taiga Resorts group, and its own website does not mention naturism. For decades it was Camping Naturista El Portús, a large terraced campsite in a south-facing bay facing the small Cala Morena cove. It was one of the best-known naturist campsites on Spain's Mediterranean coast and had touring pitches, rented mobile homes and chalets, pools and its own beach. It was a campsite, never a hotel. According to Murcia Today, the investment firm Newtown Capital S.L. took over the site in 2023 and rebranded it under Taiga. In May 2025 the company said the naturist side had been discontinued and that it would reopen in August 2025 with refurbished mobile homes, apartments, pools and restaurants, aimed at year-round tourism. The takeover was contested. Long-term residents said they were being forced out of their homes, and some filed complaints. Campaigners from the Cala Morena association protested about restricted access to the beach. The company denied forced evictions and said its works were legal. The sources we read do not say why naturism was dropped beyond the new owners' change of business model. Today the resort offers pitches, bungalows, safari tents and apartments, a summer outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a restaurant and a supermarket.
Elephant Rock Naturally
Naturist retreat on a 43-acre property in the Scenic Rim of south-east Queensland, where the verandah looks out over Moogerah Dam and the surrounding ranges. It sits off Lake Moogerah Road, about ninety minutes south-west of Brisbane, among the national parks of the Scenic Rim. The listings are older, so check its current status and booking arrangements before travelling.
Els arenals
Es Arenals is one of the seven sections of Platja de Migjorn, the 3.5 km beach along Formentera's south coast, lying towards its eastern half next to Es Copinar. Together with Es Ca Marí and Es Copinar it is one of the most visited parts of Migjorn, because a road reaches the beach and hotels sit behind the dunes, so it has more services than the quieter central stretches: beach bars and sunbeds for rent in places. The sand is fine and pale, with dunes and juniper and pine woods behind and clear water over sand and posidonia, though the south-facing shore picks up waves and seaweed on southerly winds. The whole of Migjorn is described by the Balearic tourism board as a nudist beach, and nudity is customary here as along the rest of the strip, but because of the hotels Es Arenals has a larger share of clothed families than the central sections; naturists looking for more space usually walk west along the shore. The beach is part of the protected Platja de Migjorn-Costa de Tramuntana natural area.
Elsendorp Naturistencamping
Naturistisch Recreatiepark Elsendorp is a commercial naturist holiday park just outside the village of Elsendorp in the east of Noord-Brabant, set in more than 20 hectares of woodland and heath. It is built around a natural swimming pond with a large sandy beach, a play island and a sunbathing lawn with a water slide, and also has an indoor pool and a sauna (with sauna evenings on set days). The NFN's BlootKompas listing counts about 192 camping pitches and around 150 chalets, many of them privately owned and used year-round, plus rental chalets, safari tents and lodges. Pitches have electricity, and there is a laundry, an electric-car charger and a motorhome waste point. Restaurant De Oase, a snack bar and a small supermarket cover food, and there are tennis and boules courts, a sports field, table tennis, a youth room and a playground, with an animation team for all ages in high season. The park holds the Dutch naturist federation's Prettig Bloot label for respectful, safe naturism. Day visitors are welcome to use the beach and pool. Winter camping is possible, though most facilities run from April to October.
Emerald Lake Resort
Emerald Lake Resort, also known as Emerald Lake Naturist Resort, is a long-established nudist resort on Loop 494 in Porter, Montgomery County, just north of Kingwood and about 30 miles north-east of downtown Houston. It has long been described as the Houston area's only landed nudist resort and is listed by AANR. The grounds centre on a calm 12-acre lake ringed by tall pines and campsites, used for swimming, fishing and birdwatching. AANR lists a pool, trails, volleyball, petanque and a bar and restaurant, and a 2010 profile described a lakeside cabana serving burgers, golf carts for getting around and a residents' area of permanent RV homes alongside the visitor campsites. Traditionally nudity was required rather than optional, with towels on seats and security staff enforcing a ban on sexual behaviour. However, the resort's website currently shows a temporary revised dress code that requires guests to stay covered in common areas, with a light wrap, robe or towel acceptable, while facility improvements and fee changes are under way. Until that notice is lifted, do not expect a nudist experience; check with the front desk before travelling.
Empire Haven
Empire Haven is a family-oriented nudist park in Moravia, in the Finger Lakes region of New York. It was founded in 1959 and sits on about 97 acres of forested land in the town of Moravia. Accommodation ranges from rental trailers and cabins to RV and tent sites with electric and water hook-ups. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and nudity is required there. Other facilities include two hot tubs, a cedar sauna, a snack bar, a fishing pond, pickleball and petanque courts, and nature trails. Day visitors are welcome Thursday to Sunday, and may stay until dusk. Monday to Wednesday day visits are limited to members and are by appointment. First-time visitors do not have to undress to ask about the park or to take a free tour. Pets are allowed if well behaved. The park's website shows a 'closed until 2026' banner and gives a season start of 15 May, so check with the park before travelling.
Emu Nest
Naturist couple's home on 36 private, secluded acres at Leets Vale on the Hawkesbury River, north-west of Sydney, where they take campers by booking. Two lookouts give views, one over the river and one west for sunsets, and private walking tracks run through the bush so guests can explore the whole property nude. The hosts are ANF affiliates and list occasional events on the federation calendar.
ENCOR – Domaine des Hemmes d'Oye
Seaside naturist ground of the Élan Naturiste de la Côte d'Opale at Les Hemmes d'Oye, Oye-Plage, set on white sand among sea buckthorn, shrubs and trees. Members and invited guests use beach-volley, basketball, pétanque and skittles areas, read, paint and explore the local flora and fauna on 8 km of surrounding paths. The nearby public beach is not naturist. Members share meals and maintain the grounds together.
Epplesee
The Epplesee is a large, deep gravel lake at Rheinstetten-Forchheim, just south of Karlsruhe near the Silberstreifen district and the Karlsruhe trade fair. Gravel is still extracted from a depth of about 60 m, the water level lies well below the surrounding ground and high embankments rise behind the beach. Good winds make it popular for sailing, surfing and kiting as well as swimming. A long, narrow sand beach runs from the big lawn on the east shore round to the west shore. The west bank is the FKK area: it was used for nude bathing for decades, and since 2008 the city has designated it by ordinance and marked it with signs. It is not fenced off, but clothing is not welcome there, and reports put the share of nude visitors at around 90%. Families and couples make up much of the crowd. There is little natural shade, so bring an umbrella. Dogs are banned from the FKK area and the family lawn during the season. The lake gets very busy on hot days and quiet in the evening.
Erbania Heritage
Adults-only, naturist-friendly rural loft in the village of Tetir in central Fuerteventura, rented to one booking at a time. The independent loft has a double bed, full kitchen, private terrace with a meditation corner and a covered pool for the exclusive use of guests, built with natural materials in a quiet countryside setting.
Erholungsgebiet Kiebitz
The Erholungsgebiet Kiebitz is a 110-hectare holiday and bathing complex just north-east of Falkenberg/Elster in the Elbe-Elster district of southern Brandenburg. Its centre is the Kiebitzer See, a lake left behind by gravel extraction and surrounded by mixed woodland, with water the state tourism board describes as excellent. Along the shore runs a sand beach of about 1.3 to 1.35 km with guarded and unguarded stretches, a swimming enclosure and a large water slide. The nude area is a separate FKK section with its own big sunbathing lawn, placed at the far end of the beach promenade away from the main family beach; a fenced dog beach is also kept apart. Because the site is a full resort, the nude area sits beside a camping ground with around 150 pitches, holiday bungalows, tiny houses and tipis, a snack bar, beer garden and ice-cream café, and rentals for pedal boats, rowing boats, bikes and SUP boards. Other attractions include beach volleyball, mini golf and a hedge maze, so expect families and campers in summer. Anglers use the west shore.
Erholungspark Pirkau "Mondsee
The Mondsee lies in the Erholungspark Mondsee (also called Freizeitpark Hohenpirkau) at Sonnenweg 1 near Hohenmölsen, in the south of Saxony-Anhalt about 30 km south-west of Leipzig. It is a flooded former opencast lignite pit, named for its crescent shape, now surrounded by a recultivated landscape with an 8-hectare sunbathing lawn, a campground and a lido run by a municipal association. Sources give the water area as between 25 and 36 hectares, the shoreline as 2.5 km and the depth as up to 11 m. Swimmers praise the very clear water. The front of the lake by the entrance is the textile beach with the water rescue station and shallow margins suited to small children. The nude area begins beyond the log-cabin restaurant and runs along the south shore: a large FKK section of natural sand and grass with sheltered bays between reeds, trees and bushes, entered through narrow gaps in the reed belt. A large dog beach is kept separate. Visitors describe a mixed crowd of families, couples and singles of all ages. Table tennis, volleyball and badminton are offered on site.
Es Migjorn
Platja de Migjorn is the long beach that fills most of Formentera's south coast, a crescent of about 3.5 km between the island's two halves, averaging around 40 m deep. Rocky points divide it into a string of named sections: from west to east Es Mal Pas, Es Ca Marí, Racó Fondo, Còdol Foradat, Es Valencians, Es Arenals and Es Copinar. The sand is fine and pale, broken by low wind-carved rocks, small caves and stretches of cliff, with pine and juniper woods and dunes behind; the whole strip is protected as the Platja de Migjorn-Costa de Tramuntana natural area. The water is very clear over sand and posidonia meadows and good for snorkelling, though the beach faces south and can get waves with southerly winds. The Balearic tourism board describes Migjorn, like most Formentera beaches, as a nudist beach: nudity is customary along almost the entire length, and there is no single fenced-off section. Es Ca Marí, Es Arenals and Es Copinar are the busiest because cars can reach them and hotels and beach bars sit behind; the central sections around Còdol Foradat and Es Valencians are reached by sandy tracks and stay quieter, with more space to spread out. Some sections have beach bars and sunbed rental; others have nothing at all.
Esalen Institute
Esalen Institute is a retreat centre on the Big Sur coast of California, known for its cliffside hot springs baths above the Pacific. The institute is a learning and retreat centre, and most of the campus is for students and guests. The hot springs are the best-known part of the site, and sources describe them as clothing-optional. Public access to the baths has been limited to reservations, and one source describes a public night from about 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sources differ on whether that public night still runs, and on how many people are allowed each night, with figures around 20. Reservations are taken by phone and fill quickly, especially in summer, when they open several weeks ahead. Fees quoted range from about 20 to 35 dollars per person, and overnight guests get access as part of their stay. The institute's own website was not found, so the current rules need confirming with it before any visit.
Espace Naturiste de Paris
The Espace naturiste of the Bois de Vincennes is an official, seasonal naturist zone set up by the City of Paris in a public park on the city's eastern edge, in the 12th arrondissement. It was first opened in 2017, with the site chosen together with the Association des naturistes de Paris and the Fédération française de naturisme. Since then it has reopened each spring. It is a grassy meadow in the middle of the woods, just below the bird reserve, between the Allée Royale and the Route Dauphine. Wooden signs on the four paths leading in mark its edges. There is no water and it is not a beach. People come to sunbathe, picnic and read nude in the open air within reach of central Paris. A charter of good conduct is posted at the entrance, and the city states that voyeurism and exhibitionism are not tolerated. Naturists and clothed walkers can pass through, so the space is mixed. The Collectif Naturiste Urbain runs welcome sessions and group activities there.
Eurathal Naturiste
Naturist campsite and beach access near Leucate on the Aude coast, popular with French and northern European naturists.
Euronat
Euronat is a large commercial naturist holiday village at Dépée in Grayan-et-l'Hôpital, on the Atlantic side of the Médoc peninsula north of Montalivet and south of Soulac-sur-Mer.

Accommodation ranges from tent, caravan and camper pitches to furnished tents, cabins and mobile homes on the camping side, and studios, apartments, chalets and villas in the village and beach areas. The aquatic centre has three heated pools, including a 25-metre indoor pool, plus a paddling pool and a relaxation lagoon. A 1,500 m² thalassotherapy centre, fully naturist and using fresh seawater, has saunas, a hammam, a jacuzzi and solariums, and is open to non-residents. The village centre has more than 20 shops and restaurants, along with sports, cultural activities and children's clubs. It is a family resort. The season runs from 1 April to 31 October.
Fairmont free hot springs (Fairmont Creek)
Small, undeveloped stone-walled soaking tubs along Fairmont Creek above the commercial Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in the East Kootenay, fed by water of around 50 °C. The Federation of Canadian Naturists lists them as an unofficial nude soaking spot, separate from the resort's textile pools. The tubs sit on Indian Reserve land, so access depends on local permission and may change.

Feldmochinger See FKK area, Munich
Feldmochinger See is a 16-hectare former gravel-pit lake on the north-western edge of Munich, up to about 6 metres deep and fed by groundwater springs. It is one of the city's most popular bathing lakes, with long lawns, shaded trees along the shore, a large playground on the east side, volleyball courts and a fitness trail in the west, and a step-free bathing jetty on the north shore. According to the City of Munich it is the only municipal lake in Munich with an officially designated nude beach. The city's FKK page places the nude area on the south-west shore and says it covers only a marked part of the shoreline and lawn, so the on-site signs define where nudity is allowed; the city's lake page describes the area as being in the south of the lake next to a nature biotope. The health department tests the water monthly from mid-May to mid-September and rates it very good. On hot weekends the lake is crowded and the large car park fills early; the nude section is a smaller, quieter part of the shore.
Feringasee (Feringa Lake)
The Feringasee in Unterföhring, on the north-eastern edge of Munich, is a groundwater lake created in the 1970s by gravel extraction for motorway building and since developed into one of the region's big public recreation areas. The district office gives it about 32 ha of water, roughly 3 km of shoreline, depths to about 7 m and some 21 ha of lawns, with sandy entries in several places. The nude area is official: the peninsula that juts into the lake from the south is designated as an FKK site, with its own kiosk and toilets, shady trees and sunny lawns, and a volleyball court. On hot weekends several hundred nude bathers gather there, and nudity has also spread clockwise along the west shore beyond the peninsula, while the big lawns by the eastern and southern car parks stay textile. Bathing is not allowed on the north shore, which is reserved for windsurfing. Elsewhere there is a restaurant with beer garden, more kiosks, grill zones and a weekend Wasserwacht station. Water quality samples in 2026 were all rated unobjectionable.

Fern Hills Club
Fern Hills Club is a member-owned nudist club near Bloomington in south-central Indiana, set in a valley surrounded by about 75 acres of hardwood forest. It has operated for more than five decades and is a 100% AANR club, meaning every member must also belong to the American Association for Nude Recreation. Members and guests explore the woods on forest trails on foot or by golf cart. The club's signature feature is an unusual 52-foot circular swimming pool beside a sunbathing lawn, and other recreation includes volleyball, water volleyball, petanque, miniten and shuffleboard. A clubhouse hosts seasonal events and weekend entertainment, and a restaurant opens at weekends and on holidays. For overnight stays there is a recently remodelled motel, RV parking and tent camping with water and electric, three restroom and shower buildings in the campground, and picnic tables and grills in the tent area. The club welcomes couples and families who are curious about nudism and asks singles to call before visiting.
Filzteich
The Filzteich is a reservoir on the edge of Schneeberg in the western Erzgebirge, built in 1483-1485 and often called the oldest dam in Saxony. At about 542 m above sea level, it covers around 17 ha and is no more than about 3.8 m deep, so it warms up faster than most mountain lakes. Today it is run as the Naturbad Strandbad Filzteich, a paid lakeside lido with lawns, a fenced swimming area watched by the Wasserwacht, an 85 m water slide, a diving tower, pedal and rowing boats for hire, a playground, kiosks and a beer garden. Within the lido there is a separate FKK area, listed in Saxony's official bathing-water profile and by the operator, so nude sunbathing is part of the normal offer rather than a fringe practice. The FKK section is a lawn area set apart from the main textile meadows; the sources do not mark its exact position, so ask at the entrance. The water is a monitored EU bathing water. Dogs are not allowed.
fin for fun - naturist swimming at Stadtbad Wilmersdorf I
A non-profit, queer-friendly swimming club for adults that swims nude, with or without fins, at Stadtbad Wilmersdorf I. Training suits every level, from competition to relaxed lengths, and textiles must be removed during the session; goggles and fins are fine. The pool is shared only with other naturist swimming clubs during these times.
Finca Fabulosa Nudist Resort
Finca Fabulosa is an adults-only nudist guesthouse in the mountains of the Guadalhorce valley near Álora, in Málaga province, Spain. It has three studios, each with a private terrace and mountain views. Shared facilities include a swimming pool with a swimstream, a hot tub, a sauna and a bar run on an honesty system. Swimwear is not allowed in the communal areas around the pool, sauna and jacuzzi. The minimum age is 18. Listings differ on pets: Nude Beach Map says pets are not allowed, while a booking listing says they are welcome. The booking platform lists check-in from 14:00, check-out by 11:00, free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival, and breakfast for an extra charge. Massages are available for an extra fee. I did not find current prices or recent reviews, so check the booking listings before booking.
Finca Pura Guestrooms
Finca Pura Guestrooms is a clothing-optional, adults-only guesthouse in Elche, in the Alicante province of the Valencian Community in eastern Spain. It has guestrooms with private terraces overlooking the outdoor pool, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and free parking. Rooms have rain showers and Nespresso machines, and a continental breakfast is served daily. The grounds have BBQ facilities, an outdoor dining area and bicycles to hire. The property does not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties or similar celebrations. A booking listing gives a rating of 9.3 from 18 reviews and rates from about 145 euros a night, with a similar name on another platform rated 9.1. The sources do not confirm whether nudity is required across the whole property. Check with the owners before booking.
Finca Robusto
Small, adults-only naturist finca at the foot of the Montgó natural park near Jávea on the Costa Blanca, run by Dutch hosts. Guests can be nude around the heated pool, garden and private terraces, dressing only for meals. Breakfast and three-course dinners are offered, and the Jávea, Dénia and Moraira coastline is a few kilometres away.
Finca Soñada Nudist Resort
Finca Soñada is a small naturist resort in Gaianes, in Alicante province on the Costa Blanca between Alicante and Valencia. It is an adults-only site for guests aged 18 and over, and pets are not allowed. Accommodation is modest, with double rooms and a larger apartment. Shared facilities include a swimming pool, a tennis court, an honesty bar and barbecue facilities. Nudity is encouraged poolside, while the garden lets guests choose. The resort has no direct beach access, so it suits guests who want a countryside stay rather than a beach day. The stored record also lists a spa, a sauna at extra cost and cycling routes; I did not confirm those on the listing I read. The only detailed description I found is a third-party directory that repeats the operator's own marketing, so the picture here is limited.
Fiveacres Country Club
Fiveacres Country Club is a long-established naturist club in the village of Bricket Wood near St Albans, Hertfordshire, on Woodside Road just south of the M25. It is one of two historic naturist grounds in Bricket Wood, alongside the separate Spielplatz community. It is a private members' club rather than a public site, offering a screened, green setting for nude sunbathing and outdoor recreation within easy reach of London. As with most British naturist clubs, contact the club before arriving to arrange a visit or ask about membership.
Fjällnora Naturistbad
Fjällnora is a municipal outdoor recreation area and nature reserve about 15 km east of Uppsala. Its old-growth forest lies between two rift-valley lakes, Trehörningen and Ramsen. The main family beach sits below the friluftsgård (lodge), which has a café and reception and is open all year. It has jetties, a diving tower, barbecue areas and a ramp with handrails into the water. The naturist bath is a separate, much smaller spot. Uppsala kommun's visitor leaflet places it on Ramsen, the quieter and less built-up of the two lakes. Naturkartan describes it as on a small point reached by following signs from the main beach. Expect a small grassy and sandy lakeshore rather than a beach, in a forest setting. The lake water is fresh and warms up in July. The area also has a dog beach, a camping site, canoe and rowing-boat hire, a high-ropes adventure course and marked walking trails, so the reserve is busy on summer weekends even though the naturist spot itself stays small.
FKK Ada Bojana Nudist Resort
FKK Ada Bojana is a naturist holiday village on Ada, a triangular island at the mouth of the Bojana River on Montenegro's border with Albania, about 15 km south-east of Ulcinj. The river borders it on two sides and a roughly 3 km sandy Adriatic beach on the third. The settlement has operated since 1973 as part of the Ulcinjska Rivijera tourist complex and is described by Montenegro's tourist board as a nudist settlement; it is the country's largest. Accommodation is in single-storey villas and bungalows with double and triple rooms, wooden houses near the beach, and a campsite with tent and caravan pitches (some with electricity and water) under the pines. Air-conditioned units have a balcony or terrace. On site are several restaurants and bars, including beach bars, tennis courts and horse riding; the river mouth is a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot, and wooden fish restaurants on stilts line the riverbank. Families and couples make up much of the clientele. Nudity is the norm on the beach and in the village but not expected in the restaurant or reception.
FKK Beach Ciganka
Ciganka, also called Gipsy Beach, is one of three naturist beaches around Lopar, the low, sandy north-eastern corner of the island of Rab. It sits on the north-facing shore of the wooded San Marino peninsula and looks out across the Kvarner channel toward the islands of Krk and Grgur. The Rab and Lopar tourist boards both list it as a naturist beach. Nudity is allowed rather than required, so swimsuits are also acceptable; of Lopar's three FKK beaches only neighbouring Stolac is nude-only, while Sahara, like Ciganka, is mixed. The beach is best known for its sculpted sand: wind and sea have carved the soft sandstone and sand into dunes and pyramid-like shapes, and you can lie on sand or on flat rock shelves. The water is clear and green-blue. Because it faces north-east, it catches the bura wind, which brings windsurfers on breezy days but can also make it cool and choppy. There is no beach infrastructure: no bar, toilets or showers, although pine forest comes down close behind it. Dogs are not allowed to swim here; the nearby Zad Vele Stene beach is set aside for them.
FKK Bereich Strandbad Süd
Strandbad Süd is one of the two lidos on the Unterbacher See, a lake on Düsseldorf's south-eastern edge run by the public Zweckverband Erholungsgebiet Unterbacher See. Since its early years the bath has been divided into a textile section and a separate FKK beach, which is broken up into hedged bays that give each group some privacy. The naturist part has its own sand beach and lawn of about 18,500 m² in total and roughly 147 m of shoreline, including a shallow children's zone, with the swimmer and non-swimmer areas separated by a floating boom. Changing rooms and toilets were rebuilt in 2008, and the water is supervised by lifeguards during opening hours. Shared facilities of the bath include beach volleyball and table tennis, while the beach café with its floating lake terrace and kiosks serve food. It is a paid, managed lido with set opening hours from May, not a wild beach; on fine summer days the FKK section is in heavy demand and the best spots are taken by late morning.
FKK Camp Mali Raj
FKK Camp Mali Raj (Kamp Mali raj, 'little paradise') is a small naturist camp at Dolenje Polje, between Straža and Soteska near the spa town of Dolenjske Toplice in Lower Carniola, south-east Slovenia. It sits on the left bank of the Krka river and was set up as the first motorhome stop in Slovenia reserved exclusively for naturists. It is run by the naturist society Društvo naturistov Mali raj, founded in 2010, which belongs to the Slovenian naturist federation and the International Naturist Federation. The secured, lit site takes up to about 20 vehicles on grass and paved pitches, mostly motorhomes, with water, waste disposal, free toilets and showers, paid electricity, Wi-Fi, a washing machine and bread service. A sauna runs in winter. Guests can swim in the river, and a riverside footpath is reserved for naturists; fishing, boating, hiking and cycling are all close by, and the thermal spas of Dolenjske Toplice and Straža are a few kilometres away. Nudity is expected on site. Visitors consistently describe it as quiet, shady and very clean, with welcoming hosts. Dogs are allowed. The association also organises walks, meetings and work days for members.
FKK Camping Hilsbachtal
A commercial naturist campsite in the Kraichgau countryside near Sinsheim-Hilsbach that requires no club membership. It is regularly named among Germany's best nude campsites and has a heated pool with a separate children's pool and water slide, set in a quiet valley. It is a good base for visiting Heidelberg, Sinsheim's museums and thermal baths.
FKK Camping Ostsee
FKK Camping Ostsee is a large commercial naturist campsite at Rosenfelder Strand on the Baltic coast of Ostholstein, run by FKK-Camping Ostsee GmbH, which describes itself as an official member of the German naturist federation (DFK). It sits directly behind a beach of about 1.5 km, between the resorts of Dahme and Heiligenhafen and just south of the island of Fehmarn. The ground covers around 30 hectares; a camping directory lists about 400 touring pitches, some 600 seasonal pitches for long-stay campers and 61 rental units, ranging from mobile homes and rental caravans to holiday houses. Facilities include a sauna, the Oase restaurant, a kiosk, a children's playground, beach volleyball, a multisport field, outdoor fitness equipment, a small book shop and bike hire. There is no swimming pool on site; the sea is the main attraction. Dogs are accepted and have their own dog beach and dog shower. Naturism is the rule on the grounds and the campsite's own beach. The season runs from late March to mid October (27 March to 18 October in the current listing).
FKK Erholungszentrum Tigringer See
The FKK Erholungszentrum Tigringer See is a naturist campground on a small private lake in the hills at Tigring, part of Moosburg, a few kilometres north-west of Klagenfurt in Carinthia. It is a commercial campsite rather than a club, taking both holiday campers and long-stay seasonal campers on its pitches, with the lake and the lawns around it used for nude swimming and sunbathing. Directory listings describe clean sanitary blocks with showers and toilets; there is no mention of a pool, restaurant or rental accommodation, and shops and inns are in nearby villages. Dogs are welcome and the site has its own large, separate dog meadow, which is less common at naturist campsites. The season runs from 1 May to 30 September. The surrounding area suits walking and cycling, and Klagenfurt and the Wörthersee are a short drive away. Few independent reviews were found, so check the details with the operator.
FKK Familien Sport Bund Salzgitter
A naturist family sports club founded in 1968 with its own ground in Salzgitter. Nudity is optional for sport and expected where people feel comfortable without clothes. There are pitches with electricity for caravans and tents, including areas for dog owners, a pétanque team and an exercise pool, and in winter the club swims on Sundays at the Salzgitter-Thiede indoor pool.
FKK Familien Sport Bund Salzgitter - Sunday swim, Hallenbad Thiede
The Salzgitter naturist family sports club holds its swimming training on Sundays at the indoor pool in Salzgitter-Thiede, continuing club sport through the colder months when its outdoor ground is quieter. Sessions follow the club's naturist approach. Sessions are organised by volunteers and dates can change, so check the club website before going.
FKK Kandarola Beach
Kandarola is a bay on the Frkanj peninsula, the wooded headland that closes off the harbour of Rab town on its western side, near the suburb of Palit. It is the beach most associated with the island's naturist history: the Rab tourist board recounts that in August 1936 King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson were permitted to swim nude here, and locals still call it the 'English beach'. Rab presents itself as a pioneer of Adriatic naturism and describes Kandarola as one of the oldest naturist beaches in the world. Today it is a developed naturist beach run under concession, with a restaurant, sunbed and parasol rental, showers and toilets, and there is also a dog area. The shore is the typical Rab mix of flat rock and small coves backed by woodland, with clear, fairly deep water. Reports in recent years mention uncertainty over the beach's future because of planned development on Frkanj, so check the current situation before you go.
FKK Solaris Camping Resort by Valamar
FKK Solaris is a large naturist camping resort at Tar-Vabriga on the Istrian coast of Croatia, run within the Valamar group. It has a naturist beach, camping homes, pitches, suites and apartments; booking listings cite around 284 accommodation units. On-site facilities include an outdoor pool, tennis courts, several restaurants and a bar, and sports and entertainment through the season. Naturism at the site is optional rather than required, and nude use is most common on the naturist beach and near the water. One review seen in search results praised the facilities and atmosphere but suggested that clothed guests needed clearer reminders that this is a naturist site. Booking-platform ratings sit around 8 out of 10 from over a thousand reviews each. The site suits couples and groups who want a large, self-contained naturist camp with a beach. Star rating and facilities vary by source, so check the operator before booking.
FKK Stolac beach
Stolac is one of the naturist beaches of Lopar, the sandy north-eastern corner of the island of Rab. It lies on the wild, wooded coast of the San Marino peninsula, about ten minutes from the San Marino hotel village. The Rab tourist board describes it as exclusively FKK, with no swimsuits allowed, and as a hidden spot in untouched nature where you can pick your own piece of rock or patch of sand. Neighbouring coves along the same stretch, including Sahara and Ciganka, are also known naturist beaches, so the whole shoreline here has a strong FKK character. Unlike Lopar's famous shallow family sands at Rajska plaža, Stolac is undeveloped: expect rocks interspersed with small sandy patches, clear water, and no services on the beach itself, with pine and macchia giving some shade behind. It suits visitors who want a quiet nude-only beach and are happy to bring their own supplies.
FKK Strand Absberg
The Brombachsee lakes are reservoirs in the Fränkisches Seenland, the Franconian Lake District south-west of Nuremberg. The nude beach is at the Absberg-Seespitz recreation area, at the point where the dam separates the Kleiner Brombachsee from the much larger Großer Brombachsee, just outside Absberg. The regional tourism body describes it as a discreetly screened FKK bathing area that is officially designated for naturists. The lake guide seen.de places the nude sand beach and lawn on the northern shore of the Kleiner Brombachsee and says textile-free bathing has been officially allowed there since 2005. Like the lakes' other seven recreation centres, Seespitz has car parking, toilets and changing rooms. Close to the nude beach is the self-service Seeklause restaurant, which is open all year. It has a large beer garden facing both lakes, a playground and car parking. The Kleiner Brombachsee is smaller and calmer than its neighbour. The main family beach and a fenced dog beach are on the Badehalbinsel peninsula at Absberg, away from the nude area.
FKK Strand Altmühlsee
The Altmühlsee is a shallow reservoir next to Gunzenhausen, the northernmost of the lakes in the Fränkisches Seenland in Middle Franconia. Its nude beach belongs to the Seezentrum Muhr am See, the recreation centre on the north shore near the village of Muhr am See. The regional tourism association lists it as one of two beaches in the district that are officially designated for naturists and screened from view. The other is at Absberg on the Kleiner Brombachsee. The Seezentrum is open and free to enter at all times. Next to the nude area is the main beach, with sand, lawns and open-air showers. Facilities include the Strandhaus restaurant serving regional Franconian food, a kiosk, a beach-volleyball court, a playground, and rental of bikes, rickshaws, kayaks, SUPs and pedal boats. There is also a marina, and the Altmühlsee passenger boat calls here, although its service was suspended at last check. Much of the lake is a bird sanctuary, and the Vogelinsel nature area is a few minutes away on the lakeside path. A family campsite, open April to October, and a motorhome site sit beside the centre.
FKK Strandbad Müggelsee
The Strandbad Mueggelsee is a historic lakeside bath on the north shore of the Grosser Mueggelsee, Berlin's largest lake, in Rahnsdorf in the district of Treptow-Koepenick. Berlin's official city portal notes a nude (FKK) area west of the bath, below the steep bank, and long-time visitors describe the western part of the grounds as the FKK section, about 200 m from the textile beach and with its own access from the small car park. The FKK area combines a strip of real sand with a wide lawn dotted with trees that gives some shade. The lake is very shallow here: the non-swimmer zone is large, around 1.2 m at most, which suits small children, and swimmers have to wade a long way out. Water has been clear since quality improved after reunification. The bath currently has no operator and entry is free, but its future is uncertain: the listed building needs extensive renovation, and the district has sought an investor, which press reports say could end free bathing. Earlier visitor reports describe toilets, cold open-air showers and a snack stand in the FKK area, but services depend on the season and current management, so check before you go. The crowd is mixed in age and generally calm.
Fkk-Badestelle Kiessee Schildow
The Kiessee lies on the southern edge of Schildow, in the municipality of Mühlenbecker Land, just beyond Berlin's northern city limit near Glienicke/Nordbahn and Reinickendorf. It is a former gravel pit run as a fenced Strandbad (Lessingstraße 48), so access is through the entrance and a small day fee is charged in season. The lake has several bathing areas with very shallow, gently sloping lake beds, which is why it is popular with families with small children. Alongside the textile areas there is a large FKK section; Berlin's tourism board mentions it, and seen.de describes it as a large FKK area. The sources do not say exactly which shore it occupies, so follow the signs or ask at the gate. Other facilities include a ball field, table tennis and a beer garden. As a small, enclosed lido it feels local rather than touristy. Some visitors dislike that the lake is fenced and commercial.
FKK-Camping Ofenberg
A family-run naturist campsite on a sunny hilltop in the Swabian Forest near Oberrot, open to guests without club membership. It has pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, a swimming pool, a sauna and an adjoining restaurant, all surrounded by woods and meadows. Day guests are welcome, and dogs are accepted after prior agreement.
FKK-Campingplatz am Rätzsee
A naturist campsite on the Rätzsee near Drosedow in the Mecklenburg Lake District, close to Mirow, frequently named among Germany's best nude campsites. Since September 2025 a three-kilometre official nude walking loop starts near its entrance, created with the municipality and forestry office. The surrounding lakes and forests are ideal for swimming, canoeing and cycling.
FKK-Familiensportbund Heilbronn (FFS)
The family naturist sports club of the Heilbronn area, with grounds on the edge of Langenbeutingen in the municipality of Langenbrettach. The site has a swimming pool, sports areas and pitches for members' caravans, and the club runs a programme of swimming and recreational sport for naturist families from Heilbronn and the Hohenlohe region.
FKK-Familiensportpark Simonsberg (BffL Stuttgart)
The country ground of the Stuttgart naturist club BffL, set in a landscape reserve near Pfedelbach-Untersteinbach in the Hohenlohe region between Öhringen and Schwäbisch Hall. Unlike the club's city site, Simonsberg allows overnight stays, so members and guests can camp here for weekends and holidays amid rolling countryside. Dogs and cats are not permitted.
FKK-Neptuncamp am Halbendorfer See
The naturist part of a two-in-one campsite at the Halbendorfer See in Lusatia, with a separate FKK section alongside a textile area. The small lake in the forest is a quiet spot for nude swimming and camping in eastern Saxony. Club-run sites like this often have no staffed reception, so contact the operator before arriving.
FKK-Sportgemeinschaft Hamburg (FSH)
A family and recreational sports club with a naturist ground by the Duvenstedter Brook nature reserve just outside Hamburg, far from city and traffic noise. It has 33 permanent pitches with electricity, electrified pitches for holidaymakers, a pool and a sauna included in the guest fee. Day guests and holidaymakers are catered for from early May to late September.
FKK-Strand
Stausee Oberwald is a reservoir in the Reichenbach part of Callenberg, in western Saxony. It lies about 4 km from Sankt Egidien and about 12 km from Chemnitz, close to the A4 motorway. Its shore is run as a paid lido (Strandbad) with a bathing beach of roughly 360 m and a lawn for sunbathing behind it. The lido includes a separate nude area. Saxony's official bathing-water profile lists that FKK area and rates the water quality as very good. Beyond the beach, the site is a busy family leisure complex. It has playgrounds, minigolf, boat and pedal-boat hire, a water slide of about 64 m, a summer toboggan run of more than 500 m, a self-service restaurant with a terrace, and a snack bar. A four-star campsite on the shore also keeps its own separate FKK section for guests. Dogs are not allowed in the bathing area. Campers mention steady noise from the nearby motorway. Published sources do not say exactly where along the shore the nude area is, so ask at the entrance.
FKK-Strand am Inselsee
The Inselsee is a roughly 40-hectare bathing lake beside the Elbe Lateral Canal (Elbe-Seitenkanal) at Scharnebeck, north-east of Lüneburg in Lower Saxony. It began as a quarry pit dug while the canal was being built and is named for the island in its middle, which strong swimmers like to head for. The regional tourism board, Flusslandschaft Elbe, lists a nudist area among the lake's facilities, alongside a sandy beach in a bathing bay, a shaded lawn, barbecue places, toilets and a kiosk; from the beach you look across to the wooded Geest ridge and the Scharnebeck boat lift. A visitor report describes the nude area as a separate grassy spot set back from the main bathing beach, but no source gives its exact position, so look for it away from the main sand beach or ask at the kiosk. Water quality has been rated good. The DLRG keeps a lifeguard station here and supervises swimming at weekends. There is a volleyball net, and visitors have reported seeing otters in the evening.
FKK-Strand Hard
The FKK-Strandbad in Hard is a dedicated nudist lido on the Austrian shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee), set in the Rhine delta nature reserve on the edge of Hard, near Bregenz in Vorarlberg. It is run by the municipal sports and leisure company and covers more than 40,000 m², about half of it lawns for sunbathing beside the lake. Unlike the free nude beaches common in Germany, this is a fenced, staffed bathing area with paid admission and set opening hours, and it closes in winter. Facilities include a restaurant, barbecue areas, a playground, beach volleyball, table tennis and boccia, which makes it popular with families as well as couples. The lake water is fresh and warms up best in July and August. Hard has had this official FKK bathing area for many years, while neighbouring Bregenz has debated formalising its own informal nude-bathing spot at Mehrerau.
FKK-Strand Oase (Norderney)
Norderney's nude beach is the Oase beach in the quiet east of the island, about 7 km from the town centre, where the dunes open onto a broad, remote stretch of North Sea sand. The spa operator, Staatsbad Norderney, runs it as one of the island's four managed beaches, and its beach and bathing ordinance (2023) names it FKK-Strand Oase, running from about 200 m west to about 800 m east of the lifeguard container, so roughly a kilometre of shore. Within it there are rentable beach chairs, a kiosk and the Oase beach sauna, two saunas with sea views where bathers cool off in the sea. A marked dog section lies at the western end, and riders may cross only with a permit and outside the closed hours. Bathing is supervised in season. In 2026 the beach changed: the grid operator Amprion is laying offshore-wind cables under the island, and the FKK sections X and Z were closed from June to August, while family sections W and Y stayed open with around 160 beach chairs. A sign reading 'Textil & Familienstrand OASE (Kein FKK)' appeared on site in summer 2026, and the Staatsbad has not said whether FKK will return.
FKK-Strand Priwall
Priwall is the peninsula on the far side of the Trave estuary from Travemünde, Lübeck's Baltic resort. Its north-facing beach is a natural sand beach about 1.4 km long. It runs from the Trave mouth and the south pier east to the low Rosenhagen cliff at the Mecklenburg border. The Travemünde tourism office lists one of the resort's two designated FKK areas on the eastern part of this beach. Small dunes there are popular as sheltered spots to lie in. The beach shelves gently into shallow water. With dunes and a small wood behind it, it is calmer than the main Travemünde promenade beach and popular with families. The state bathing-water profile lists the Priwall beach as an EU bathing water operated by the Kurbetrieb Travemünde. It records a lifeguard service for part of the time, toilets, showers, a kiosk, an FKK beach and a dog beach. Dogs are allowed only in the first 100 m from the passenger ferry pier at the western end, well away from the nude area. In season a per-person beach fee is charged on Priwall.
FKK-Strand Travemünde
Travemünde is Lübeck's seaside resort on the Bay of Lübeck. North of its main promenade beach (Kurstrand) the coast rises into the Brodtener Steilufer, an eroding clay cliff that is largely protected as a nature and bird reserve. The Travemünde tourism office lists one of the resort's two designated FKK areas here, behind the yacht club at the northern end of the Kurstrand where the cliff coast begins. The other FKK area is on Priwall, across the river. The beach below the cliff is narrower and more natural than the wide, sand-replenished Kurstrand, and stones and clay from the cliff reach the shore. Unlike the Kurstrand and Priwall, the Brodtener Ufer beach is generally free of charge. A year-round dog beach and a dog bathing jetty are also on this stretch, at the Söhrmanndamm just behind the northern Kurstrand. The cliff edge is unstable, so keep to marked paths and observe the barriers above the beach.
FKK-Zeltplatz Amrum
A naturist tent campsite in the protected Amrum dune landscape below the island's lighthouse, run on a non-profit basis since 2016 by the Amrumer Sport- und Naturistenverein, whose 1,400 members are mostly long-time guests. Nesting gulls, oystercatchers and rabbits share the site, and there are sport, nature-conservation and cultural activities. Transitional sleeping options help on arrival days.
Flaucher FKK Strand
The Flaucher is a stretch of the Isar in Munich's Sendling and Thalkirchen area, between the Thalkirchner Bruecke and the Brudermuehlbruecke, about 3 km south of the city centre. Roughly 700 m north of the Thalkirchen bridge the river splits into several arms, leaving islands and wide gravel banks that were reshaped when this part of the Isar was renaturalised in the 2000s. The name comes from the 'Zum Flaucher' inn opened by Johann Flaucher around 1870 on the west bank, now a beer garden. The city's bathing-clothing ordinance designates the large gravel bank east of the Flauchersteg footbridge as one of Munich's six official nude bathing areas; only the area marked on the city's map counts, and signs on site show the limits. Expect coarse gravel rather than sand, so bring a thick mat, and cold, fast-flowing water with changing currents. In summer the gravel banks are among the busiest spots on the river: nude and clothed visitors mix, crowds are young, and evening barbecues and bonfire parties are common, which can leave litter behind. A second official zone lies a little north, between the Braunauer railway bridge and the Brudermuehlbruecke.
Flevo-Natuur
Flevo-Natuur is a large naturist campsite in Zeewolde, Flevoland. It covers about 36 hectares and is described in the Netherlands as its largest naturist campsite. It offers 246 tourist pitches and 40 rental units per the ANWB listing. The site has a broad set of wellness facilities, including sauna landscapes, infusion ceremonies and massages, along with an outdoor pool, a playground and a sports ground. Dogs are welcome. The ANWB notes it is close to a sandy beach. The ANWB guide lists it with Green Key eco certification. Some listings classify it as a naturist campsite with a textile section, so check the current policy before arriving. Guest reviews are positive, though the sample is small.
Flovt Strand
Flovt Strand is on the Little Belt coast east of Haderslev in South Jutland, between Årøsund and Hejsager. The nude section runs south from the outlet of Bankel Nor, a lagoon-like lake behind the beach, towards the headland of Halk Hoved. It is a fine sand beach with almost no stones on the shore or in the water, backed by flat meadows and the lake rather than dunes, so there is little shelter from wind or sun. The sandy shallows attract boat owners, who anchor just offshore, and some sit nude on their boats. Depending on the season the lake outlet can be an easy sandy crossing or too deep to wade, in which case naturists settle just north of it. The area is a nature park without holiday homes, so it stays quiet; regulars describe few people on weekdays, almost no clothed bathers in the nude stretch, and a relaxed feel. Insects from the lake can be a nuisance with an offshore wind.
Forest Hills Club
Forest Hills Club is a cooperatively owned, clothing-optional family campground in Saranac, in central Michigan, on about 45 wooded acres. The club calls itself Michigan's oldest clothing-optional resort and says it was chartered by the American Sunbathing Association in 1957; that date comes only from the club's own material. It runs as a state-licensed campground with hookup sites for RVs, travel trailers and tents, more than 65 campsites, and cabin rentals. Its site and directory listings mention a clubhouse, a heated salt-water pool, a hot tub, a nature trail, sports courts and free Wi-Fi. The club's constitution refers to social nude recreation, so nudity is part of the club's purpose rather than an optional extra. The grounds are wooded and quiet, which suits people who want a weekend away from town. Visitors should expect a members-focused community rather than a public nude beach, and should contact the club before arriving, because the pages I opened do not spell out a full day-visit policy.
Fort Resort Beemster
Eco-chic wellness resort inside a former military fort of the Stelling van Amsterdam, a UNESCO World Heritage defence line, at Zuidoostbeemster. Saunas, Aufguss, a hammam, yoga, treatments and good food come together in the fort's distinctive setting, and overnight stays are possible. Textile-free apart from set swimwear and ladies' days.
Forth Naturists
An Edinburgh-based naturist club that meets on the first and third Sundays of each month, 4:30pm to 7pm, at the Aubigny Sports Centre in Haddington. Members have naturist use of the main and children's pools, a sauna, a steam room and the sports hall for volleyball and badminton, with tea, coffee and snacks. Anyone with a genuine interest in naturism is welcome.
Forty Acre Club
The Forty Acre Club is a member-owned, clothes-free family nudist club on a flat hilltop in Franklin County, Missouri, near the hamlet of Lonedell and roughly an hour's drive south-west of St. Louis. A small group of St. Louis couples founded it in the early 1950s, making it one of the older nudist clubs in the Midwest, and it now has more than 200 members and receives hundreds of visitors each season. The 40 acres hold campsites and a common area on the hilltop, with a swimming pool, hot tub, clubhouse and walking trails. Members and visitors camp in tents or RVs, and the club runs a calendar of social events through the season, and it has held open house days aimed at newcomers. The club displays AANR branding on its website. Unlike clothing-optional resorts, it describes itself as clothes-free, and its first-visit page explains its rules and what to expect for newcomers. It is open to visitors from 1 March to 31 October.
Freedom RV Resort
Freedom RV Resort is a small, veteran-owned clothing-optional RV park in a quiet country setting on State Highway 97 east of Pleasanton in Atascosa County, about 30 minutes south of San Antonio and an hour and a half from Corpus Christi. Hosts Rick and Dee Williams live on site. It describes itself as a membership-only, clothing-optional RV park, and admission is restricted to adults aged 21 and over. The resort is set up for RVs rather than cabins or tents, with hookup sites for overnight campers, seasonal and local RVers, winter Texans and snowbirds, and work campers. It is listed and featured by AANR. The park is open year-round, and its mild South Texas winters make it a popular choice for winter stays. Nearby there is golf, fishing and hunting, with museums, restaurants and shops in Pleasanton and San Antonio.
Freibad Langsee
Freibad Langsee is an outdoor bathing site in the Pegnitz valley in Nuremberg-Mögeldorf, run by the sports club TSV 1846 Nürnberg. It is the only outdoor pool in Nuremberg with a natural swimming lake, fed by groundwater, alongside a solar-heated non-swimmer pool, a swimmer pool and a baby paddling pool. The grounds are spacious and green, with some lawns in full sun and others under trees. The City of Nuremberg confirms that a separate area of the grounds is reserved for FKK. Clothed and nude visitors therefore share one ticketed site but use different lawns, and the lake is open to everyone. The rest of the site is aimed at families, with a playground with spring rockers and a sandpit, table tennis and a beach volleyball court. Note that the city listed the pool as temporarily closed from 3 July 2026, so check that it has reopened before you plan a visit.
Freie Sportgemeinschaft Amperland
A naturist sports club west of Munich whose grounds are near Emmering in the Amper valley close to Fürstenfeldbruck. It is a member of the Bavarian naturist federation and offers members a private place for nude sunbathing, sport and recreation in the summer season. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Freier Lichtbund Mannheim
A non-profit naturist family sports club with grounds in Mannheim-Rheinau. Members can keep caravans and motorhomes on site, and the club describes itself as pet-friendly. Naturist day members are welcome with or without a caravan or motorhome, and pitches for day members are available on request. The club has no reception, so visits must be announced in advance.
Freizeitgemeinschaft Natura
A naturist leisure club with its ground in Dinslaken on the Lower Rhine, listed by the NRW naturist federation. Members use the private site for nude sunbathing, games and social activities in the summer months. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Friedrichsbad Baden-Baden
Friedrichsbad is a historic Roman-Irish bath in Baden-Baden, Germany, opened in December 1877 in a neo-Renaissance building designed by Karl Dernfeld. The bath is run as a day spa by Carasana, the company that operates Baden-Baden's thermal baths. Its traditional ritual moves through heat, steam and cooling stations, and bathing has been textile-free (nude) as a rule. Since July 2024, the official tourism pages say, Wednesdays and Saturdays are textile days, when guests may enter in swimwear, while nude bathing continues on the other days. Accounts differ on how the sexes are separated: some describe fixed gender days, others a mixed bathing house on certain days, so check the current schedule before going. Visitors who want the full programme should book a timed slot in advance, as capacity is limited.
FSB Erftland-Ville - Zieselsmaarsee
The Zieselsmaar lake in the Rhineland nature park, run by the FamilienSportBund Erftland-Ville for over 50 years as a place for textile-free sun, sport and community.

Children call it 'Bergi'.

The half-timbered old town of Alsfeld is a short walk away.
FSG Siegen
The naturist club of the Siegen area, with grounds at Burbach-Lützeln in the hills of southern Siegerland.

The site also has a sauna and a club restaurant.
FSG Solingen
A naturist family sports club from Solingen whose ground is in Langenfeld in the Rhineland, between Cologne and Düsseldorf. It is listed by the NRW naturist federation and offers members a private site for nude recreation and sport during the summer months.

In summer members head out for nude hikes, camps and sports weekends.
Full Tan Sun Club

Members and visitors use its pool, camping areas and recreation grounds through the summer. The club is affiliated with AANR, and first-time visitors should contact it in advance.
Fuschlsee FKK-Badestrand
Fuschlsee is a 4 km long, deep and very clear lake in the Salzkammergut, about 20 km east of Salzburg, between Hof bei Salzburg at its western end and Fuschl am See at its eastern end. Much of its shore is protected nature reserve with wooded, steep banks, so bathing is concentrated at a handful of places. The Salzburg state government's map of bathing sites lists five on this lake besides the two lidos at Hof and Fuschl: Badeplatz Stöllinger, Badestrand Schlick, Badestrand Wesenauer and a dedicated FKK Badestrand, numbered 58, on the north shore. Unlike the paid lidos, the FKK beach is free to use. It is a natural lakeside spot rather than a developed lido, with no ticket office or kiosk reported, and the lake water is very clear and reaches about 22 °C in a warm summer. Because the shore is steep and protected, finding a place can take some effort, and space is limited on hot weekends. The two EU-monitored lidos have rated the water good to excellent.
Gaea Retreat Center
Gaea Retreat Center, often called Camp Gaea, is a large private retreat centre and campground near McLouth in northeast Kansas. It hosts pagan and men's festivals and other gatherings, and nudity is allowed in certain areas of the property. Rules depend on the event, so check with organisers before attending.
Gardacqua
Public swimming and wellness centre on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The pools require swimwear, but the spa and sauna area follows the textile-free rule, with swimsuits not allowed. It is one of the best-known textile-free sauna areas on the lake, and naturist cardholders receive discounted daily Spa & Pools tickets and 10% off treatments.
GardaThermae
Wellness centre near Arco at the northern tip of Lake Garda offering pools, saunas and wellness circuits. In the sauna area swimwear is not allowed, so all sauna attractions are used nude, with a cotton towel to sit on and to move around communal spaces. Its location near Riva del Garda makes it a popular stop for climbers, cyclists and lake visitors.
Gautviken Naturist Area
Gautviken naturist area is a small shoreline recreation area in Vefsn municipality, Helgeland, in Nordland county in northern Norway. The record's map point lies north-west of Mosjøen, but its exact position is unconfirmed. The Norwegian Naturist Federation lists it among its official naturist beaches and describes it as a naturist beach and recreation area where the whole site is a textile-free zone. It calls it a lovely place in the sun. Parking is free and camping is possible, but there are no toilets or rubbish bins, so visitors must take all their waste home. Little else is published about the shoreline. At this latitude the swimming season is short and the sea is cold, but long summer days mean evening sun well into the night in June and July.
Gemeinschaft Licht und Sonne Pforzheim (GLS)
A small club for recreational sport and naturism founded in Pforzheim in 1954, whose grounds have occupied a disused quarry at Knittlingen-Freudenstein since 1971. Spread over four hectares and several levels below the rock face are sports courts, a swimming pool, a large lawn with playground, a sauna, an archery range and around 40 caravan pitches.
Gemeinschaft Sonnenfreunde Braunschweig
A naturist club from Braunschweig whose ground lies at Schwülper, north of the city near the Oker. It is listed by the Lower Saxony-Bremen naturist federation and offers members a quiet place for nude recreation in the summer. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Gemeinschaft Sport und Natur Aachen (GSN)
A naturist sport and nature club with its ground on Lütticher Straße on the south-western edge of Aachen, close to the Belgian border. It is one of two naturist clubs in Aachen listed by the NRW federation and offers members a private place for sport and nude sunbathing. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
GG's Childers Naturist Retreat
GG's Childers Naturist Retreat is a solar-powered, off-grid nudist retreat on about 420 acres of private bushland just outside the historic town of Childers in Queensland. Guests are expected to be nude when the weather allows, though children under 16 are exempt, and pets are allowed on a lead. Accommodation ranges from lakeside camping and unpowered bush sites to glamping tents, on-site vans and a cabin. Shared facilities include a kitchen, outdoor showers and 'The Kastle' clubhouse. A lakeside outdoor naturist pool with lake views is among the facilities. Activities include kayaking, fishing and about 20 kilometres of walking trails on the property. The retreat is well away from the town, so guests should plan supplies in advance. Current pricing and booking details were not found in the sources, so check the retreat's own booking channels before travelling.
Gîte des bateaux dans le ciel
Two-bedroom holiday house above Saint-Denis on Réunion island, in the La Montagne district, with sea views, a terrace, Wi-Fi and private parking.

Glen Eden Sun Club
Glen Eden Sun Club is a long-running nudist resort at the base of the Cleveland National Forest, near Corona in Riverside County, California. It was founded in 1963 and is run as a member-owned club, which its own marketing calls the largest member-owned nudist resort in Southern California. The site includes three heated swimming pools, two hot tubs, a dry spa, tennis and pickleball courts, and a 24-hour gym. Lodging covers camping, RV hookup sites and rental park models, and the resort runs a regular schedule of shows and dances. An AANR release lists it among AANR-affiliated Western resorts. A 2025 Substack piece says it is the only AANR-affiliated resort still open in Southern California, while a neighbouring resort closed. Sources disagree on the number of RV sites, so check the official site for current figures.
Glomstadbukta naturiststrand
Glomstadbukta is a naturist beach and camp area on the western shore of Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake, about 3 km north of Gjøvik town centre. It is one of the official beaches listed by the Norwegian Naturist Federation. The local naturist club, Mjøsområdets Naturistforening, leases and runs it, and has put a lot of work into the site over the years. There is no sand resort here. The site has a bathing area by the lake and the mouth of a river, a lawn where visitors can camp in a tent for up to three days, and a small marina for people arriving by boat. Facilities include a well-equipped barbecue area (the club calls it Norway's finest), a petanque court, and the Glomstadbu hut, which sleeps four and can be rented by members of naturist federations affiliated with the INF. Visit Norway's bathing guide for the Gjøvik region lists it as a naturist beach.
Goldbug Hot Springs
Goldbug Hot Springs, also known as Elk Bend Hot Springs, is an undeveloped chain of geothermal pools on a side creek in a steep canyon east of the Salmon River, on Bureau of Land Management land about 23 miles south of Salmon, Idaho. Nobody runs it as a business: there is no fee, no staff and nothing at the springs themselves. Hot water spills down the creek through a series of rock-lined pools, at least five and by some counts six, linked by small cascades. Temperatures vary from pool to pool, with the hottest generally nearest the trail and cooler water where the creek mixes in. The largest is a heart-shaped pool just past the upper footbridge, and a quieter waterfall pool lies below it. There is no written clothing rule, but nude soaking is common and widely accepted here, and guides warn first-timers that they are likely to meet nude bathers. Swimsuits turn up more on busy summer and autumn weekends. The springs are reachable all year, and winter visits reward hikers with snowy scenery and fewer people. Primitive campsites with fire rings sit along the lower trail, but camping is not allowed within 500 feet of the springs.
Goldmyer Hot Springs
A non-profit-run hot spring in old-growth forest in the upper Middle Fork Snoqualmie valley, east of North Bend. Hot water flows out of a horizontal mine shaft into a cave pool and then into a series of rock-dammed pools beneath the trees. Visits are capped at about 20 people a day and are booked through a monthly lottery or by phone. Clothing is optional and mixed groups soak together, although many visitors wear swimwear.
Græm strand
Græm Strand is a stretch of North Sea beach on Jutland's west coast in Holstebro Municipality, in the southern part of the Husby Klitplantage dune forest near Husby. The beach got an official FKK sign in 2017, and Danske Naturister lists it among its naturist beaches; one regular calls it among the best in the country. It is a sandy surf beach reached through the dunes, where the eroding dune face exposes a moraine layer from the last ice age containing petrified wood. Several old bunkers used to stand on the beach, though many have since been removed. You can swim in the waves, but this is the open North Sea, so watch the currents and swim near others. People bathe here for much of the year, and it is also a good walking beach. Inland, a short walk leads to a 'troll forest' of early-1800s oaks stunted into twisted bushes by the sandy, salty soil. Expect space and few people rather than facilities.
Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel Resort
Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel is an adults-only, clothing-optional resort in Orange Bay, Hanover Parish, on Jamaica's western coast near Negril. It is part of the Autograph Collection and has 26 ocean-facing suites in a secluded area, six of them swim-out. Guests get butler service and a complimentary minibar. The resort reopened in late August 2026 after an extended closure, alongside its neighbours, Royalton Negril and Hideaway at Royalton Negril. Guests can use the facilities of both neighbouring resorts, which are clothing-required. Sources differ on the beach: one says the resort has its own clothing-optional beach, while a more detailed account says there is no real beach at the property and guests walk next door in swimwear. One reviewer reported that the pool is clothing-optional rather than nude-only. Age rules are sources of confusion too: the operator's site says 21 and over, and another listing says 21 and over. Check the resort for current rules before booking.
Great Lakes SunSeekers
Great Lakes SunSeekers is a non-landed naturist club based in the Toledo area of northwest Ohio, affiliated with AANR. Members gather for nude swims, social events and trips at rented venues and naturist parks around the region, rather than on their own grounds. Coordinates mark Toledo; contact the club about upcoming events.
Green Haven Sun Club
Green Haven Sun Club is a landed nudist club near Balgonie, north-east of Regina in Saskatchewan. It describes itself as the only landed nudist club in the province, meaning its members share a fenced, owned property rather than renting pitches. The club is gated and sits among trees just off a highway. Its rules, as posted for members, cover moderation of alcohol, a family-oriented atmosphere, no cameras, bringing your own towel to sit on, and no clothing at the pool. The club is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation, according to an AANR notice. A 2025 CTV news feature marked its 50th anniversary, while an AANR notice from the same year says 52 years, so the exact founding date is uncertain. The club accepts new members and holds an annual charity walk, Bare as You Dare, which supports Diabetes Canada. Membership is by application, and details on fees were not found in the sources.
Green Valley Family Naturist Park
Green Valley is a member-run co-operative nudist campground at 250 Ledge Road, Richfield, in the wooded country between Cleveland and Akron; the grounds themselves sit in Granger Township, Medina County, beside Interstate 271. It traces its history to 1936, when it began as the Green Goose Club, and lost part of its land when the interstate was built in the early 1970s. Today it covers about 47 acres with roughly 97 lots, and a 2016 newspaper visit counted around 160 members, some of whom live on site through the summer. Members share the upkeep rather than paying a management company. Visitors can rent one of four cabins, use back-in RV lots with water, electric and sewer, or pitch a tent on primitive sites. Facilities include a heated L-shaped pool, a screened hot tub, a clubhouse with kitchen and stage, a children's clubhouse, pickleball, volleyball, basketball and shuffleboard, hiking trails and a stocked pond with pedal boats. It describes itself as family oriented and welcomes children. The grounds are clothing optional, but nudity is expected in the pool and hot tub, and photography is strictly banned. The season runs from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend.
Greenacres Club
Greenacres was founded in 1953 on the site of an old almshouse and now occupies five acres of countryside about seven miles from Durham. It has a pool enclosure and a refurbished sauna with a decked sun terrace. The club suggests itself as a stop-off for travellers using the North Shields ferry and as a base for exploring the north of England and the Borders.
Grenzland West - Naturistencamping Varbrooker Heidegarten
A large naturist ground of 80,000 m² of woodland and open space in the Schwalm-Nette nature park near the Dutch border.

Sports range from badminton and boules to volleyball and swimming. Open all year.
GTA Skinnydippers
Toronto's family skinny-dipping club, which has held indoor winter naturist events for more than 30 years.

It is a non-landed member club of the Federation of Canadian Naturists.
Guðrúnarlaug Hot Pool
Small, free geothermal pool at Laugar in Sælingsdalur, about 20 km from Búðardalur in West Iceland, a two-minute walk from the Laugar campsite and hotel. Named after Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir of Laxdæla saga, who is said to have bathed here, the pool was lost to a landslide and rebuilt in 2009. It holds six to eight people and has a turf-roofed changing hut. It is open all year with no booking; nude bathing is possible when the pool is quiet, but follow local custom.
Gunnison Beach
Gunnison Beach is the ocean beach at Area G on Sandy Hook, the New Jersey unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, near the historic Fort Hancock at the northern tip of the peninsula. It is the largest and best-known nude beach in the northeastern US, used by naturists since the late 1970s, and on hot summer weekends it can draw several thousand people. The National Park Service describes it as clothing-optional; its wider guidance says the traditional nude-use area is part of Area G (South Gunnison) and that nudity outside that zone may be treated as disorderly conduct. The beach is broad, soft sand facing the Atlantic, with views north to the Verrazzano Bridge and Manhattan's skyline across Lower New York Bay. The crowd is diverse in age, ethnicity and orientation. Since about 2021 the park has banned alcohol on all Sandy Hook beaches and limited tents and screens, after complaints about loud music and partying; regulars report a calmer atmosphere since. There are no lifeguards at Gunnison.
Guysers Gaystay
Guysers Gaystay, also listed as Guysers B&B for Men, is a small gay-owned and gay-hosted bed and breakfast for men at 28A Sophia Street in central Rotorua, within walking distance of the city centre and lakefront and a short drive from the Whakarewarewa and Te Puia geothermal parks. It has two guest rooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a shared lounge and dining room. Facilities include a spa pool for about five people, a steam sauna and a private outdoor courtyard and garden with sun loungers. The garden, courtyard and spa pool are clothing optional, and the hosts' listings say clothing is optional indoors too but never compulsory; sarongs are provided for guests who want to cover up in shared spaces, and guests who are not naturists are equally welcome. It is an adults-only, men-only guesthouse rather than a naturist resort, and does not take children or pets.
Gymno Club Rhodanien
Enclosed three-hectare naturist club ground in the Grand Parc Miribel-Jonage, ten minutes from Lyon and reachable by public transport, bike or car. It has courts for tennis, volleyball, badminton, pétanque and mölkky, an archery range, play areas and a trampoline, and a popular pond with a half-shaded beach. A small house with fireplace, barbecues and wood ovens, toilets and showers are available year-round.
Gymno-Vita Park
Gymno-Vita Park is a privately owned nudist campground (Gymno-Vita Park, LLC) set in about 100 acres of forest off Seven Bark Road, on the St. Clair and Shelby county line between Pell City and Vandiver, roughly 40 miles east of Birmingham. Local history sources say it was founded around 1979 by Bob Truett, then director of the Birmingham Zoo. The facilities are grouped in the middle of the woods rather than behind a perimeter fence. Accommodation is simple: a few rooms to rent, shaded RV and tent sites with water, electricity and picnic tables. The centrepiece is a lodge of more than 5,000 square feet with wide porches, a game room with pool and ping-pong tables and a small museum, and the Pink Champagne Ballroom with a stage for dances and dinners. Outside there is a swimming pool, bath house, volleyball, horseshoes, a children's play area and a nature trail about a mile long. The park bills itself as a family nude recreation destination and admits only couples and families; there are no single rates. It opens from April 1 to the third weekend in October and is closed through the winter.
Halcyon Naturist Swimming Club
A members' swim club of mixed ages and genders founded about 50 years ago at Eastney pool near Portsmouth's naturist beach. That pool did not reopen after Covid, so the club now uses an interim venue with a warm 25 m pool near Portsmouth city centre while a new facility is planned. It meets every Friday evening in school term time.
Halfway River Hot Springs
Free, lightly developed hot springs beside the Halfway River in the Arrow Lakes area north of Nakusp, with rock-and-timber soaking pools, a changing shelter and a forest recreation campsite above. The remote setting has a long informal clothing-optional tradition, with a sign once reading 'Nude or Prude', though nudity is not officially sanctioned and textile visitors also come.
Hamburger Bund für Freikörperkultur (HFK) - Sommerbad Volksdorf
A lively naturist sport and family club with a spacious natural ground in Hamburg-Volksdorf, centred on a natural swimming lake. In summer the club opens its grounds to visitors as the 'Sommerbad Volksdorf', with lifeguards, lawns and trees instead of concrete. The 'Haus am See' houses a sports room, sauna, toilets, outdoor showers and a rest room.
Hamburger Sport und Naturismus (HSN)
An eight-hectare naturist ground in north Hamburg with two bathing lakes, sports pitches, lawns, woodland, about 80 caravan pitches, a clubhouse, three sanitary blocks (one nearly barrier-free) and a sauna. Children can swim, build sandcastles and dams and explore. A guest meadow near the swimming lane has 4-5 pitches with WiFi, and a free trial day voucher is offered.
Hanlan's Point Beach
Hanlan's Point Beach sits on the western shore of the Toronto Islands, facing open Lake Ontario, just south of the runways of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. A legally designated clothing-optional zone occupies part of the shoreline; according to the City's 2002 review, that zone ran about 1,000 metres along the westerly edge of Hanlan's Point and was 50 to 60 metres wide. Signs and fencing mark its limits, and the rest of the beach is clothing-required, so check the markers before undressing. Guides say to walk south from the ferry dock, past the airport fence, to reach it. The sand is soft and the view runs out over the lake rather than toward the downtown skyline. The zone began as a one-year pilot voted through by City Council in May 1999, was extended through 2001, and was made permanent in April 2002; staff and the police Marine Unit may resize it, but not below its 2001 extent. During the pilot the City counted 650 to 700 users on hot summer weekends and reported no more incidents than at other city beaches. Local naturist groups, including the Federation of Canadian Naturists, helped set it up. The point is less developed than Centre Island, so bring food and water.
Happy Naturist' Family – La Garnache
Eco-minded 1.7-hectare naturist ground at La Garnache in Vendée, 50 km south of Nantes and 20 minutes from naturist beaches, run since 2018 by Happy Naturist' Family. Open to all naturists, it has a pond, small wood for hammocks, table tennis, darts, a rowing boat, board games and a library. The association passes naturist values to younger generations through events like the All Happy games and body painting.
Harbin Hot Springs
A long-established, spiritually oriented hot springs retreat centre in the hills above Middletown in Lake County. Its pool areas are clothing-optional in the tradition of Japanese onsen and European spas: a hot pool, a warm silent meditation pool, a cold plunge and sunbathing decks. Guests can also book spa and in-water bodywork, eat at the café and join workshops or community gatherings. Large parts were rebuilt after the 2015 Valley Fire.
Harmony Nature Farm
Harmony Nature Farm is a family-oriented naturist retreat set on the cliffs of the Magaliesberg mountains west of Pretoria and Johannesburg. It offers simple self-catering chalets and naturist weekend stays in the bush, with mountain views and walking. The farm has traditionally welcomed families and couples; singles and some groups are admitted only by arrangement with management. Check current rules and booking details with the farm before travelling.
Harmony Wood
A small naturist campsite in six acres of grass and woodland in the hills just outside Exeter, with views toward Dartmoor and east Devon. It runs as a Certificated Site under a British Naturism exemption, taking up to five campervans or small caravans and ten tents, for stays of up to 28 days. Facilities are basic: drinking water, a compost toilet and chemical disposal. Day visitors are welcome.
Hart Mountain Hot Springs
A rock-walled natural pool next to the free campground in the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, high on the sagebrush plateau above the Warner Valley in south-central Oregon. A low stone wall gives the pool some privacy, and visitors report that clothing has never been an issue. It is a remote spot used by campers, hunters and stargazers. A second, more primitive pool lies a short walk away.
Harzer Naturistenstieg
Germany's first officially signposted nude hiking trail, opened in 2010 by a local innkeeper and campsite operator in the eastern Harz between Wippra and Dankerode. Signed loops of roughly 6 and 13 km (some sources say up to 18 km) lead from Dankerode over the Leuschner bridge through the Wipper valley to the Wipper reservoir and back, with warning signs at key points so clothed walkers know what to expect.
Haslemere Sun Club (Sunnyacres)
Sunnyacres is the member-owned grounds of Haslemere Sun Club at Headley Down, on the edge of the South Downs National Park. It has a large heated pool with a slide, a clubhouse used for dances and quiz nights, a boules pitch, a badminton court, indoor and outdoor eating areas, a big barbecue area and sunbathing lawns among members' chalets. It is family oriented.
Haulover Beach
Haulover Beach is the oceanfront of Haulover Park, a Miami-Dade County park on the barrier island between Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach, just north of Baker's Haulover Inlet. The northern 0.4 mile of its 1.5-mile shoreline, between lifeguard towers 12 and 16, is an officially recognised clothing-optional beach, marked by snow fencing and permanent signs at each end. A local naturist group started using the area in 1991 and the county put up official signs in 1993. It is often described as the busiest nude beach in the US. The sand is golden and wide, the water warm and usually calm, and the beach has year-round lifeguards, which is rare for a nude beach. The county markets it as family-oriented, and the crowd is very mixed: local naturist families, couples, tourists from Europe and South America, and a strong gay presence toward the north end. Volunteer beach ambassadors in green safari hats explain etiquette. Condo towers rise immediately north, so it is anything but secluded.
Hawaiian Naturist Park
A family-friendly, body-positive naturist retreat in the rainforest of the Fern Forest subdivision on Hawai'i Island, about seven miles from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Guests stay in bungalows among the 'ohi'a trees and spend their days clothes-free, with an emphasis on sustainable living, relaxation and body confidence. The park also runs free monthly day events, and it appears in AANR's business listings.
Hawke's Bay Naturist Club
Hawke's Bay Naturist Club is a members' club whose grounds, known as Rapere, sit at the south end of Glengarry Road near Rissington, about 22 km inland from Napier and 32 km from Hastings. The club grew out of a group formed in 1962 and took over the grounds in December 1965. The 4.5-hectare property has landscaped lawns, shade trees, hills to walk and a small dam or pond for canoeing. Facilities centre on a clubhouse with a large lounge, dance floor, dining area and kitchen, warmed by a wood stove in winter, with showers, toilets, a laundry and an indoor spa pool below. Outside there is a 20-metre filtered swimming pool, a toddlers' pool and play area, an outdoor spa, mini-tennis, pétanque, volleyball and tennikoit courts and a putting course. Visitors can stay in Norm's Lodge, which sleeps up to 12, a cottage and cabin, or on powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans and campervans, while members keep cabins and caravans on the hillside. The club is family friendly and affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Swimsuits are not worn in the pool, spa or sauna, and nudity is expected once newcomers feel comfortable.
Heden
Heden is Halmstad's designated nude bathing area, at the far southern end of Östra stranden, the six-kilometre sandy beach that runs south from the city along Laholm Bay. The nude section lies where the small river Fylleån reaches the sea, beside Hagön campsite and inside the Hagön nature reserve, roughly 6 km south of the town centre. The setting is open and low: a long, pale sand beach backed by dunes up to about 10 m high, with heathland and wet meadows behind that are kept open by grazing and heather burning; only a small pine and birch wood in the north of the reserve gives any shade. The water is very shallow for a long way out, which means it warms up faster than at Halmstad's deeper beaches and suits waders and children, though on windy days the bay can still produce currents. The tourist board notes that Heden has appeared several times on lists of Sweden's best naturist beaches. Paths through the reserve are informal trampled tracks rather than marked trails, and there are no services on the nude stretch itself; the campsite is the nearest place for supplies.
Hedonism II
Hedonism II is an adults-only, clothing-optional resort on Negril Beach in Westmoreland, Jamaica. It sits in about 22 acres of landscaped gardens and is one of the best-known clothing-optional resorts in the Caribbean. The property is split into a nude section and a 'prude' section. The nude side requires nudity at the beach, pool and hot tub, while the prude-category rooms, which are Garden View and Ocean View, sit on the quieter, clothing-optional beach and gardens. Guests of either category may use both sides, but nudity is not allowed in the main public areas. The resort has multiple pools, restaurants, bars, a spa and water sports. Its nude beach is part of the resort grounds and is not a separate public beach. Sources describe a lively party atmosphere, and they note that guests need not be nudists or swingers, but that it is a poor fit for anyone uncomfortable with nudity. Current policies, rates and any access rules for non-guests need to be checked with the resort.
Heidesee
The Heidesee lies in Nietleben on the western edge of Halle (Saale), about 5 km from the city centre, with the pine, beech and oak woods of the Dölauer Heide along its southern side. It is a flooded lignite pit: mining began in the early 19th century, and after the Neuglück mine closed in 1931 rising groundwater filled the hole, creating a lake roughly 800 m long, up to 300 m wide and about 12.5 ha in area. The city opened a public bath on the north shore in the 1950s, and since 2007 it has been run privately as the Heidebad. The bathing area is split into two sandy beaches of about 150 m each: one textile, one FKK. Around them the operator has added a climbing forest, wakeboarding and stand-up paddling, plus catering and toilets, so the lido is busy and family-oriented on summer days. The lake is also a hub for runners and cyclists on the sandy forest tracks, and the Heidelauf running event starts here several times a year. Water colour is sometimes described as greenish but fine for swimming.
Heiligenhafen: Ostseestrand
Heiligenhafen is a Baltic port town in Ostholstein, facing the island of Fehmarn across the water. Its main beach runs for about four kilometres of sand and dunes along the Steinwarder, a spit in front of the town, from the DLRG lifeguard main station across the eastern Steinwarder to the western end of the Graswarder. The town divides this shore into marked sections: a family bathing beach around the DLRG station, a dog beach east of it, and the FKK beach. The nude section lies between the main bathing beach and the Graswarder nature reserve, a roughly 230-hectare bird sanctuary of dunes, salt marsh and lagoons lined on its seaward side by historic villas. Here nude bathing is in the dunes, in a quieter natural setting with an open view to Fehmarn. The sand is fine and the water shallow near shore. The town's beach-chair rental runs over 900 Strandkörbe across the beach in summer, and the tourism service holds regular events on the main beach. A separate, little-used natural beach with some pebbles and seaweed lies further west between Ortmühle and Strandhusen.
Héliomonde
Héliomonde at Saint-Chéron in the Essonne was long known as the only naturist campsite in the Île-de-France region. It no longer appears to operate as one. The site, about 45 km south of Paris, is a 47-hectare wooded estate on the Route de la Petite Beauce. It now trades as La Forêt d'Azalée, a family campsite in the ClicoChic group, and the old heliomonde.fr address redirects to the new website. That site promotes mobile homes, chalets, a covered heated pool with slides, an outdoor pool, a sandy beach, a play area, a gym and a restaurant-bar. It does not mention naturism. The booking link still carries the code 'heliomonde91', and chalet sale listings on the estate describe it as the former Héliomonde campsite. As a naturist site, Héliomonde had tent, caravan and van pitches, rented chalets and mobile homes, and a spa with sauna, hammam and hot tubs beside an artificial beach. It was usually open from April to September. Older directory pages still list it under the naturist name. The sources we read do not give the date of the change, who bought or now runs the estate beyond the ClicoChic branding, or why naturism ended. The reason for the change has not been published.
Helios Berlin - Verein für Gesundheit und Sport
A family-friendly sports club for naturists in the middle of the Grunewald forest, offering city dwellers a green oasis with spacious grounds for play and exercise. The 19,000 m² site has a heated 25 m pool and a sauna; sauna use is textile-free for everyone, and swimming is nude except that children under 18 may wear swimwear. The club also has a kitchen serving members at events.
Helios FSG Köln
A non-profit club for family, community, naturism and sport founded over 75 years ago, with a seven-hectare ground on a wooded hill between Immekeppel and Lindlar in the Bergisches Land, 30 minutes from Cologne. It offers natural pitches for caravans, tiny houses, construction trailers and even yurts for members and guests, plus a pool and sauna.
Helios Naturist Club
Member-owned naturist club founded in 1958 in the Dandenong Ranges, a little over an hour from central Melbourne. Its grounds have broad lawns used for sunbathing, bowls and cricket, an 18 by 7 metre solar-heated pool with shade sail, a heated spa for about a dozen people, and a clubroom with an outdoor deck and kitchen. A campground across the road takes powered and unpowered sites. The club welcomes families and keeps a balance of men and women among its members.
Helios Nudist Association
Helios Nudist Association is a clothing-optional nudist club in rural Alberta, about an hour east of Edmonton, between the city and the town of Tofield. A Wikipedia list of North American nudist places describes it as North America's northernmost nudist camp, which is a claim rather than a verified ranking. The American Association for Nude Recreation lists the club as open from May 1, with camping and rental cabins in Beaver County. The club is a landed club: a former member sold the property to it in the 1990s,. A news article, reproduced on a low-quality site, dates the club to 1964 and says membership peaked at around 200 before falling to about 115. That article is older and the figures may be out of date. I did not find current membership rules, contact details or fees in the sources, so check the club's own website before planning a visit.
Helios Sportgruppe Dinkelsbühl
A naturist family sports club whose 3.4-hectare grounds are hidden in pine forest on the shore of a natural bathing lake in western Middle Franconia. Facilities include two sports courts for tennis, volleyball, table tennis and pétanque, a playground, simple pitches for caravans and tents without hook-ups, a sanitary building with kitchen and lounge, and a barrel sauna.
Helios Taunus Oberursel
The first and only naturist sports club in the Hochtaunus district, founded in 1973. Singles, couples and families with children are welcome. Nudity is compulsory in the pool and expected elsewhere when the weather allows, there are sauna days, cold drinks, guest loungers and WiFi, and a quiet period from 13:00 to 15:00. Photos of unclothed people need written consent.
Helios Wien
Vienna-area naturist club tradition reflecting Austria’s strong FKK culture; confirm current grounds location and guest policy.
Heliosport Basel - Gelände Rhyblick
The grounds of the Basel naturist association Heliosport, located just over the Swiss border in Grenzach-Wyhlen at the foot of the Grenzacher Horn, surrounded by protected woodland and vineyards. The site, called Rhyblick, has a large renovated swimming pool, lawns and a clubhouse, and the club emphasises a family atmosphere, tolerance and respect for nature.
Hellulaug Hot Spring
Small natural geothermal pool set in rock right by the sea at Vatnsfjörður in the Westfjords, next to Route 60 and close to Hotel Flókalundur. The water is pleasantly warm and the pool looks straight out over the fjord. There are no changing facilities or fees, and it fits only a handful of bathers at a time. Wikipedia lists it among Iceland's hot pools where nude bathing is practised; be discreet when others are present.
Heritage Australia Club
Nudist club founded in 1949 that calls itself the oldest in Australia. It sits on 25 acres of bushland beside the Georges River near Campbelltown in Sydney's south-west, about 45 minutes from the city centre, and is reached by a sealed road. The grounds offer secluded spots for relaxing outdoors, with social gatherings for members. The club pitches itself at couples who are genuinely interested in the nudist lifestyle.
Heritage Family Naturist Club
A member-owned family naturist club founded over 80 years ago, set in about four hectares of woodland bordering National Trust land near Crowthorne. It has a large heated pool, a children's mini-pool, a hot tub, tennis, miniten, volleyball and boules courts, and a pavilion with sauna and steam suite. Caravan and tent pitches have hook-ups, and a large chalet can be rented by non-members.
HESPA Heliosport Aargau
HESPA Heliosport Aargau is a members' naturist association with its own grounds, known as the Chläb, on the hillside above Auenstein in the canton of Aargau, between Aarau and Brugg. The club has about 270 members across several generations and, according to Swiss press, has run a campsite there since 1951. The site describes itself as a small self-run village with its own spring water supply. Accommodation includes camping pitches looking out over the Swiss Mittelland, double rooms opening onto a sun terrace above the pool and lawn, and a group dormitory with 32 places under the clubhouse roof. Facilities include modern washrooms, cooking and barbecue areas, sports grounds and a solar-heated outdoor pool. The grounds are closed to visitors from 1 October to 30 April, but members hold social events in the colder months, such as an Advent gathering and New Year's Eve at the Chläb. The club stresses mutual respect and tolerance.
Het Reterink
Former farmstead between Deventer and the Holterberg in Salland, converted into a naturist complex. A mini campsite with 16 large pitches sits around an open field on a former maize field at the edge of the woods, and five comfortable apartments for two to four people now fill the old cow barn. Guests share an indoor pool, sauna, yoga and communal meals.
Hidden Beach Resort
Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel is an adults-only, all-inclusive clothing-optional hotel run by Karisma Hotels on the Riviera Maya, at kilometre 95 of the Cancún-Tulum highway in Kantenah, between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal. It shares its gated grounds and entrance with Karisma's textile El Dorado Seaside Suites, and high walls and mangroves screen it from outside. All accommodation is in suites, each with a two-person hot tub and stocked minibar; ground-floor suites open onto the main pool and some have private swim-up pools. Facilities include a large pool with swim-up bar and volleyball net, a lounge with a small hot tub, a tennis court, a small gym, 24-hour room service and nightly entertainment. Dining is centred on one on-site restaurant, La Vista, and guests can use spa services at the neighbouring El Dorado property. Nudity is permitted in public areas and reviewers say most guests go nude for their whole stay; clothing is required in the gym and in El Dorado's facilities, guests must sit on towels, and photography rules are strict. The private beach is rocky and poor for swimming. Most guests are couples over 50, though singles are accepted.
Hidden Lake Resort
A rural nudist campground near Jay in the far north-west of the Florida Panhandle, close to the Alabama line. It has lakefront RV sites with water and electric hookups, a studio cabin and a rental camper, and a relaxed community atmosphere built around weekend campfires, a Saturday-night DJ and karaoke, monthly potlucks and themed 5K runs. It is listed by both AANR and The Naturist Society.
Hidden River Resort
Hidden River Resort is a privately run clothing-optional campground on 88 acres beside the St. Marys River in Charlton County, in the far southeast corner of Georgia, about 30 miles west of Jacksonville, Florida. Despite the name it is essentially an RV and tent park: there are no rooms or restaurant, and guests bring their own food and supplies. Campers choose between sites with 30- or 50-amp power, water and sewer, tent sites with or without electricity, and open wooded camping, and there is a dump station. Shared facilities include a swimming pool and hot tub, a bathhouse with indoor and outdoor hot showers, and a large covered pavilion with an outdoor kitchen. The land runs down to a white-sand river beach used for sunning and, when the water level allows, canoe and kayak trips. Nature trails are open to walkers, cyclists and riders, as horses are welcome, and there are petanque, horseshoe and volleyball courts plus fenced space for dogs. Clothing is optional across the grounds, but full nudity is required in the pool and hot tub, with a soap shower first. The resort's long-running spring event, Nudie Blues, reaches its 25th edition in April 2026.
Highgate Men's Bathing Pond
The Highgate Men's Bathing Pond (Highgate No. 2) is one of three open-air swimming ponds on Hampstead Heath in north London, run by the City of London Corporation. It is a men-only, lifeguarded pond fed by natural springs, open every day of the year, with a fenced compound containing changing areas, showers, toilets and a small sunbathing lawn, plus ladder and hoist access into the water. For generations the compound has had a nude sunbathing tradition said to go back over a century; from the early 1990s a screen split it into a nude area and a changing area. During the Covid period the City removed that screen, complaints followed, and in 2023 it put up signs saying nude sunbathing was not permitted. The Highgate Men's Pond Association and many regulars objected, some staged protests, and Heath police initially said they had no instructions to enforce the rule. The City said it would consult on future arrangements, but no source we read shows the ban being lifted, and its current pond page requires suitable swimwear. The pond is therefore a swimming venue with a naturist history rather than a place where nudity is currently allowed.
Hillside Haven
Hillside Haven is a small nudist campground near Otway in Scioto County, in the wooded Appalachian hills of southern Ohio. It offers rustic camping and a quiet setting for nude recreation and is listed in The Naturist Society's directory. Facilities are simple, and information online is limited, so contact the campground about its season, fees and rules before visiting.
Hilltop Hot Spring
A single concrete soaking tub, also called Pulky's Pool, on a small rise in the Long Valley Caldera south-east of Mammoth Lakes. It looks out across open sagebrush to the snowy eastern Sierra crest. It is reached by a short boardwalk across a marshy meadow from Benton Crossing Road. The tub is signed as clothing-optional and nudity is the local custom. It is popular and can be crowded on weekends, and camping is not allowed.
Hippie Hollow Park
Hippie Hollow Park is a 109-acre Travis County park on the eastern shore of Lake Travis, about 20 miles northwest of downtown Austin, and the only public clothing-optional park in Texas. The county states plainly that nudity is acceptable but lewd behaviour is not, and entry is restricted to adults 18 and over, so it is not a place for families with children. There is no sand beach: the shoreline is steep, terraced limestone ledges and boulders dropping into clear green lake water, and people sunbathe on the flat rock shelves or on towels among the cedar and oak scrub above. A designated swimming area and a hiking trail run along the shore, and boaters anchor off the coves on summer weekends. Lake levels vary a lot with drought and flood, which changes how far you scramble to reach the water. Zebra mussels are now present on the rocks, so water shoes are wise. Around 85,000 people a year visit, a mix of committed naturists, Austin locals, students and curious first-timers, and it gets busy on hot weekends.
Hjertøya
Hjertøya is the westernmost island of the Molde archipelago in Moldefjorden, a protected nature and recreation area that Molde residents have used for outings since the 1930s and that also houses the open-air Fisheries Museum. Its naturist beach is on the island's south side and is listed by Norsk Naturistforbund, the national naturist federation, as an official naturist beach. The shore is somewhat stony, but there is a small sandy pool that suits children. A toilet and rubbish bin are provided, but there is no drinking water, so bring your own. Elsewhere on the island are a textile sandy beach, barbecue spots, an outhouse, a bathing raft and diving tower, boat and kayak rental, walking trails through meadow and woodland, and several floating piers where private boats tie up.
Hoffell Hot Tubs
Five small man-made hot tubs fed by natural geothermal water on the Hoffell farm, about 15 minutes from Höfn in south-east Iceland. They sit beneath the Arnarbæli cliff with views towards the Hoffellsjökull outlet of Vatnajökull, and range from lukewarm to very hot. The family-run site has changing rooms, toilets and an outdoor shower; pay the small fee or honesty-box contribution. Open daily from morning to evening all year. Nude bathing is possible at quiet times; be considerate of others.
Hökafältet
Hökafältet is the official nude beach at the northern end of Mellbystrand, the long sandy shore of Laholm Bay about 7 km west of Laholm. The beach is split: the main Mellbystrand stretch is for clothed bathers and the northern part, close to Mellbystrands Camping, is set aside for nude bathing. Behind it lies the Hökafältet nature reserve, 417 hectares of dunes and pine forest between Mellbystrand and the mouth of the river Lagan; the pines were planted in the 1800s to stop drifting sand and now cover much of the old open dunes. The beach is fine sand and the bay is shallow, which makes it well suited to children, but the county board warns that strong currents and sudden changes in the seabed can occur on windy days, and the soft sand at the shifting river mouth can behave like quicksand. There are bins and a toilet but no drinking water. The local club Naturistföreningen Gränsbygden uses the beach as a meeting point. The area has a history of complaints about public sex in the dunes, which led Laholm municipality to review the beach in 2015-16.
Holkham Hall Beach
Holkham Bay on the north Norfolk coast, just west of Wells-next-the-Sea, is a huge, flat sweep of fine pale sand backed by pine woods and dunes within the Holkham National Nature Reserve on the Holkham Estate. Naturists use the western end of the beach. The current arrangement allows nudity on the beach only, below the high-tide line, and not in the dunes; British Naturism advises staying at least 100 m from the dune edge. The beach slopes so gently that the sea goes out a very long way at low tide, so BN suggests visiting when low tide falls in the early afternoon. It is open to the cold north wind, so a windbreak is almost essential. Winter storm surges in 2013 and 2014 washed away the front row of dunes, and the recovering marram is fragile, which is one reason the dunes are off limits. Wardens and police patrol from time to time. Regulars include couples and families, and the beach is clean and uncrowded once you walk west.
HollandMenCamp
Clothing-optional, men-only campsite on the Loosdrecht lakes between Amsterdam and Utrecht. It runs as a full-service site where electricity, hot water and wifi are included in the price, and it also suits people with little camping experience. Activities are aimed at adults, and lakes and a nude beach are within 10 km.
Homestead Nych
A 52-acre, off-grid ('100% green') clothing-optional campground in central Wisconsin, near Pittsville on the Wood and Jackson county line. Run by its owner-hosts, it has about 25 campsites, a rental cottage, a lodge, ponds and walking trails, with Jackson County's ATV trails close by. The Naturist Society lists it in its Naturist Network and has held member rendezvous gatherings there.
Hooksiel
Hooksiel is a small harbour resort in the Wangerland municipality on the western shore of the Jade Bight, the wide North Sea inlet across from Wilhelmshaven. Its Strandbad is a free-entry beach complex, run by Wangerland Touristik, that sits on the dike in front of the village. It is divided into separate sections: an ordinary sand beach, a dog beach, a nude (FKK) beach, and an FKK beach where dogs are also allowed. The tourism office says nude visitors have been welcome here for many years. Beach chairs (Strandkörbe) can be booked for the FKK section in the same way as for the textile beach. The beach is sand with some dunes, backed by lawn and the dike. Because it is on the Wadden Sea, the water goes out a long way at low tide, so swimming depends on the tides, which the tourism site publishes. Facilities in the Strandbad include toilets (one accessible), a baby-changing room, showers, a kiosk and snack bar, a playground and a beach sauna, and a DLRG lifeguard station is listed beside the bathing beach. Outside the Strandbad, behind the dunes, there is also a wider natural beach. A kite school and the outer harbour with fish sellers and restaurants are a few minutes away.
Hooting Owl Guest House
Hooting Owl is a bed and breakfast guest house a little south of Margate on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, about a kilometre inland from the Indian Ocean. It is a normal guest house most of the time, but the whole property can be booked as a clothing-optional retreat for naturist groups on request. The nude-friendly Mpenjati naturist beach is a short drive to the south. Contact the owners in advance to arrange a naturist booking.
Hoøya
Hoøya is a small tidal island in the Beitstadfjord at Beitstad, about 10 km west of Steinkjer in Trøndelag. The whole island is a public outdoor recreation area (friluftsområde), bought by the state in 1971 and run by Steinkjer kommune, with forest trails, grill spots, a kiosk, floating piers, a diving tower and prehistoric burial mounds. The signposted naturist beach lies on the north side of the island path, about 150 m out from the shore, and is described as the municipality's only official naturist beach. It is not a sand beach: bathers lie on smooth rock shelves (svaberg) and swim off the rocks, which is why Norsk Naturistforbund calls it not especially good for small children. There are also rock shelves on the south side where some people bathe nude informally, but that area is not signed. The island is reached on foot over a causeway that floods at high tide, and many foreign tourists visit in summer. Tents may be pitched on the grass meadow near the beach.
Hostivař Dam
Hostivař reservoir (Hostivařská přehrada) is a dammed lake on the Botič stream in Prague 10, surrounded by the Hostivař forest park. It is the city's best-known lake bathing complex. The paid summer resort on the shore has a main beach of lawns and a long sandy strip that enters the water gradually. There is also a pier, water slides, sports courts, rental pedalos and paddleboards, food stalls, showers and toilets. The complex also includes a nudist beach. The City of Prague's tourism office describes it as completely separate, and local guides place it as the smaller rear beach on the south shore. Woodland screens it from the main beach, and it is reached most directly from the Jižní Město and Petrovice side. It is part of the same ticketed resort, with the same opening season and hours. Being in the city, it fills up on hot summer weekends, while weekday mornings are calmer. Water quality is monitored by Prague's public health authority during the season. Dogs are not allowed anywhere in the resort.
Hotel & Wellness Zuiver
Hotel and spa on the edge of the Amsterdamse Bos in Amsterdam, built around rest, exercise and food. Its 13,000-square-metre spa includes infrared, colour, music, panorama, wood-fired and Finnish saunas, steam rooms, a hammam and Aufguss, alongside a gym, squash and tennis courts, restaurants and hotel rooms. Nude except on swimwear days.
Hotel Coronado Thalasso & Spa (naturist spa)
Hotel above the Cala Fornells bay near Peguera in south-west Mallorca whose thalasso spa and rooftop pool are reported to be naturist, making it the only nude spa known on the island. Clothing is required in the rest of the hotel. Non-guests can reportedly use the spa on a day pass.
Hotel Nude
Hotel Nude is a commercial, adults-only beachfront hotel on the bay at Zipolite, the Oaxaca beach town whose sands became Mexico's first legally recognised nude beach in 2016. It is widely described as the first hotel in town to run a clothing-optional policy, and it remains one of the best-known places to stay for nude travellers there. Rooms range from cheaper poolside rooms, which lack the sea breeze, to beachfront rooms and suites with balconies facing the ocean. The hotel has an outdoor pool with sun terrace, a restaurant serving Mexican and international dishes, a bar with service at the pool and on the sand, massage on request and free Wi-Fi. Its beach club has a DJ in the afternoons and evenings, which makes weekends lively, especially when Mexican visitors arrive. Guests may be nude around the pools and on the beach in front, where clothed and nude people mix, but clothing is expected inside the restaurant and bar. Guests must be over 18. The hotel is open all year, and the dry season from November to April is the most popular time to visit Zipolite.
Hottarakashi Onsen
Hottarakashi Onsen is a day-use hot spring on a hillside at Yatsubo in Yamanashi City, looking out over the Kofu basin towards Mount Fuji. It is a commercial bathhouse, famous for open-air baths that open about an hour before sunrise so bathers can watch dawn over the mountains. There are two separate bathhouses: Kocchi no Yu, the original and quieter one, and Acchi no Yu, a larger and more open newer bath. Each is divided into men's and women's sides; there is no mixed bathing. As at any Japanese onsen, bathing is nude and swimsuits are not allowed (the only exception the operator mentions is a bath cover for breast-cancer patients). Unusually for Japan, guests with tattoos may bathe. Towels are sold, not rented. Two food stalls serve simple meals, one known for raw-egg rice bowls and curry from sunrise, the other for udon and ramen, and a shop sells local fruit and wine. The baths are open every day of the year, from roughly an hour before sunrise until 22:00.
Houstrup Strand
Houstrup Strand, also spelled Hovstrup, is a North Sea beach in Varde Municipality, just north of Henne Strand on the west coast of Jutland. Danske Naturister lists it as an official nude beach, a status that rests on a recommendation from the Blaabjerg tourist office. From the car park, a sign points south to the 'fribadestrand', and nude bathing starts about 200 m along. The beach is wide sand backed by high dunes, which give good shelter from the prevailing west wind. Regulars describe an informal layout. The first stretch is used mainly by families. It is followed by a quieter area for couples and then by an area used by single visitors. There are no facilities on the nude section. Guests from the naturist campsite Lyngboparken in Henne use Houstrup or Børsmose Strand, further north, as their local beach. The beach is not well signposted from the main road, so it is easy to miss.
Huk Naturist Beach
Huk sits at the southern tip of the Bygdøy peninsula, a short bus ride west of central Oslo, and is one of the city's busiest summer bathing spots. The park is split in two: the main family beach at Hukodden with lawns, sand, bathing piers and a café, and a separate naturist beach on the point to the north-west, in what was once the garden of the Jordan brush-making family. A narrow bay divides the two, and an information sign marks the entrance to the nude area. The naturist side is a mix of a small sandy strip, smooth rock outcrops sloping into the Oslofjord and large grassy areas behind, so most people spread out on the rocks or the lawn. The fjord water stays cool even in midsummer. Norsk Naturistforbund lists Huk as an official naturist beach and calls it child-friendly, and the local naturist club says nude bathers have been increasing here. On a fine weekend both halves of the park are crowded. A floating platform just offshore is popular for sunbathing and swimming.
IJmuiden Beach
IJmuiden's nude beach is on the very wide North Sea beach of IJmuiden aan Zee in the municipality of Velsen, North Holland, just south of the long piers at the mouth of the North Sea Canal. It lies inside Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, which runs south from here to Zandvoort. The naturist section is in beach zone 4 (recreation beach), between beach pole 58 and the municipal boundary with Bloemendaal, where it carries straight on into Bloemendaal's beach. NFN BlootKompas lists it as an official nude beach. The beach is huge: visitors lie against the foot of the dunes, and the walk from there to the waterline alone takes 10 to 15 minutes. From the steep dune edge the view takes in the ships queueing for the canal and the piers. Recreation in the dunes is allowed up to the fence. There are no facilities on the nude beach itself; beach pavilion Beach Inn is about 500 m away. Dogs are reportedly banned but the rule is not enforced, and in high season dogs from the clothed beach sometimes stray onto the nude section.
Il Costalunga Campeggio Naturista
Small family-run naturist campsite in the wooded hills of the Ligurian hinterland at Palo, on the edge of the Beigua Natural Park (a UNESCO Global Geopark). Around forty pitches sit on terraced, shady ground, with tent and mobile-home rental for those without their own gear. It is one of the few certified naturist campsites in north-west Italy and makes a quiet base for walking in the Beigua hills, roughly an hour's drive from Genoa and the coast.
In the Woods
In The Woods is a privately run, members-only clothing-optional campground on 30 wooded acres in the rolling hills of Georgia's upper Piedmont near Canon, in Franklin County, a short drive from Lake Hartwell. It presents itself as a gay clothing-optional campground, and older press coverage describes a membership that is mostly men, but the campground states that it does not discriminate and that everyone is welcome. The whole property is clothing optional for members aged 21 and over. Accommodation spans wooded tent sites, RV sites and a range of rental units listed as sleepers, a bunkhouse, dens, cabins and a loft chalet, along with annual and seasonal sites for regulars. Shared facilities include a swimming pool, hot tub, a small gym, a clubhouse, campfire areas and landscaped walking trails through the woods. The setting is quiet and rural, and the campground points guests to nearby day trips such as Tallulah Falls and the Blue Ridge foothills, as well as to shops and restaurants in the surrounding towns. A 2017 regional LGBT newspaper ranking listed it among the top ten gay campgrounds in North America.
Inčupe nudist beach
The Inčupe nudist beach is a roughly 1 km stretch of Gulf of Riga shoreline in Saulkrasti municipality, about 40 km north-east of Riga. It runs south from Baltā kāpa (the White Dune) towards Lilaste. Nudists have used this coast since Soviet times, and its closeness to Riga makes it one of the best-known nude beaches in Latvia. The beach is fine sand backed by forested dunes. Reaching it involves a walk of about 20 minutes through pine woods, which keeps casual traffic down. Saulkrasti municipality regulates the zone in its binding beach regulations. Signs mark where the nudist section begins and ends; after vandals repeatedly broke or removed them, the municipality set the posts in concrete in 2024. In 2025 it amended the regulations to give the zone's location in GPS coordinates so visitors and police can find the boundaries. Some local parents have complained that the boundary is not always clearly visible from the family beaches.
Indian Hills Nudist Park
Indian Hills Nudist Park is a privately owned, adults-only (18+) nudist park on about 55 wooded acres just outside Slidell in St Tammany Parish, around 40-45 minutes from New Orleans. It was opened in 1971 by Gottlieb 'the Professor' Kogel, a New Orleans magician and lifelong nudist, and after his death in 2010 passed to the Kraemer family, who still run it; it bills itself as Louisiana's only nudist park, with the motto 'Keeping Louisiana Nude Since 1971'. Around 40 people live on site year-round on 45 residential lots, and there are about 107 rental sites for RVs and tents plus a handful of themed rentals: a large barn for four, a travel trailer, a poolside studio, an accessible cabin and small suites. The heart of the park is a heated pool, a hot tub and a clubhouse remodelled in 2015-16, with a small gym, a social area, nature trails, bathhouses and a coin laundry. Nudity is required at the pool and hot tub (only a hat allowed) and in the clubhouse, where towels, wraps or shirts are tolerated. Photography is banned and sexual activity in public areas is prohibited. Thursday game nights and weekend karaoke keep the social calendar busy.
Intima Resort Tulum
Intima Resort Tulum is an adults-only, clothing-optional hotel about a kilometre from the centre of Tulum on the Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo. Its main draw is a naturist atmosphere in the grounds, which hold an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a hot tub, a garden and a terrace. Guides differ on the house rules: one says guests may be nude anywhere on the premises, while a more recent one says nudity is allowed in many outdoor areas and that shared indoor spaces may require swimwear or attire. Guests must be 18 or older to check in. Pets are not allowed, and there is free off-site parking but no parking on the property. Listings give the room count as 30 or 44, and star ratings as 2.5 or 3, so the details are not settled. A guest should confirm the current rules and room type with the resort before arriving.
Invicta Sun Club
A members' club in four acres of open woodland at Sutton, about four miles from Dover, in a sheltered spot surrounded by farmland. It has an outdoor swimming pool, games courts, table tennis and a large pavilion with a fitted kitchen and fireplace. There are flush toilets and hot showers but no mains electricity. Members of other reputable clubs from the UK and abroad are welcome to visit.
Is Benas Beach
Is Benas is a long, wild sandy beach on the Sinis coast of western Sardinia, in San Vero Milis municipality (province of Oristano), between the resort of Putzu Idu to the north and the Is Arenas coast of Narbolia to the south. Behind the sand rise large dunes and the Is Arenas pine forest, described by the Italian Naturist Federation (FENAIT) as the largest planted coastal pine wood in Sardinia. The beach is known locally as the 'beach of shells' because of the huge number of bivalve shells washed up along the tideline. In April 2022 San Vero Milis's municipal executive (Giunta) unanimously approved a resolution (no. 51/2022), proposed by the naturist association ANITA Sardegna, opening a stretch of Is Benas to naturism; the designated section is the southern part bordering Is Arenas, and press reports say it was later enlarged in the municipality's revised coastal plan. It is one of Sardinia's few officially authorised naturist beaches. The setting is undeveloped: open sand, dunes, low scrub and pines, on Sardinia's open west coast. Naturist volunteers have organised clean-ups here; one in July 2024 removed around 2.5 tonnes of washed-up rubbish, mostly plastic.
Isar - Brudermühlbrücke
This is one of six areas where the City of Munich allows nude bathing on the Isar and in the Englischer Garten. It lies in Sendling/Untergiesing, on the east side of the southern Isar flood bed, between two crossings: the zone starts 50 m south of the Braunauer railway bridge and runs south to a point 100 m north of the Brudermühlbrücke road bridge. The ground is the river's broad flood bed, with gravel banks along the water, part of the renaturalised Isar that also includes the busier Flaucher area a little further south. Only the area shown on the city's map and marked by signs on site counts as a nude zone; outside it, swimwear is required. Compared with the Flaucher gravel bank, this stretch is less well known. The Isar here is cold and fast-flowing, its level changes with the weather, and the city's bathing bans and safety rules still apply inside nude zones. The stony ground makes a thick mat and water shoes useful.
Isar - Maria Einsiedel
Maria Einsiedel is one of six nude-bathing areas that the City of Munich designates under its bathing-clothing ordinance (Badekleidungsverordnung), and the southernmost of the city's Isar zones. It lies in the Isar floodplain on the west side of the river in the Thalkirchen/Hinterbrühl area of southern Munich. According to the city, the zone begins roughly 200 metres south of the Marienklause and runs south to the southern end of the Hinterbrühler See; only the area inside those limits, as shown on the city's map and the signs on site, is covered. The ground is typical Isar floodplain: open gravel banks along the water with meadow and riverside woodland behind. It should not be confused with the Naturbad Maria Einsiedel, a paid municipal open-air pool next door that has its own separate FKK lawns. The Isar here is a fast, cold alpine river; the city warns of shifting currents, eddies, weirs, stones and roots, and stresses that the nude zone does not make the adjacent water safe or override bathing bans. Further downstream the city's other Isar zones are at Brudermühlbrücke and the Flaucher gravel bank.
Jardin d'O
Jardin d'O is a clothing-optional, couples-only resort on the French side of Saint Martin, minutes from the official naturist beach at Orient Bay. It is a small aparthotel with five accommodations, including two suites with private jacuzzis and a newer villa. Shared spaces are naturist: the pool and gardens are used nude, and clothing is optional elsewhere. Guests can book massages and join clothing-optional day cruises. Meals are delivered from partner restaurants, and a nearby caterer supplies bread and croissants. Booking listings describe a seasonal outdoor pool, free parking and free Wi-Fi in public areas, and one listing calls it an adults-only property. Nudity is optional, which matches the stored record. Pricing and availability were not found and need checking directly with the resort.
Järve Nude Beach (Saaremaa)
Unofficial nude beach at Järve, on the sandy southern coast of Saaremaa island west of Kuressaare. Nudists use the stretch of shore near the 'Järve turismitalu' road sign, in a pine-fringed area popular with summer cottages and campers. The sea here is shallow and warms quickly in summer. There are no dedicated facilities at the nude section; Kuressaare offers shops and services. Nudity is tolerated rather than official, so keep to the quieter part of the beach.
Jeju Sauna
A large Korean-style jjimjilbang in Duluth, in metro Atlanta's Koreatown, and one of the biggest bathhouse complexes in the south-east. Guests are sent by gender to separate bath areas with hot and cold pools, showers and saunas, where full nudity is required in line with Korean bathing custom. A clothed co-ed floor has themed heated rooms, lounges and sleeping areas, and there is an Olympic-size pool where swimsuits are worn.
Jerry Johnson Hot Springs
Jerry Johnson Hot Springs is a set of undeveloped soaking pools along Warm Springs Creek, a tributary of the Lochsa Wild and Scenic River, in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest of north-central Idaho. The site sits at roughly 3,200 feet in an old cedar and fir forest about an hour west of Lolo Pass. Three groups of rock-walled pools are fed by separate hot sources. The lowest, beside the creek below a small waterfall, is the hottest (up to about 115°F near the source) and is under water during spring runoff, emerging later in summer. A middle group by a large boulder runs around 95-100°F, is easiest to reach and is the busiest. A third group further up the trail has meadow and mountain views and tends to be quieter. Pool bottoms are sand and gravel with sharp rocks around the edges. Clothing is optional by long custom: nude soaking is common, though many visitors wear swimsuits, especially on busy summer days. The Forest Service converted the site to day use only after years of overuse, and there are no facilities at the pools.
Jordan Hot Springs
A warm (about 90-100 °F) backcountry spring pool in a side canyon off the Middle Fork of the Gila River, in the Gila Wilderness of south-western New Mexico. It is about seven miles each way from the TJ Corral trailhead near the Gila Cliff Dwellings, and the route involves many river crossings. Most visitors make it an overnight backpacking trip. Guides list the pool as clothing-optional.
Kabuki Springs & Spa
A Japanese-style communal bathhouse in San Francisco's Japantown, modelled on the onsen tradition. It has a hot pool, a cold plunge, a dry sauna, a steam room and seated washing stations. The communal baths run on gender-specific days, when bathing suits are optional and most bathers go nude. Two all-gender days a week require swimsuits. Massage and other spa treatments are offered alongside the baths.
Källtorp Nude Beach
Källtorp Nude Beach is an unofficial nude bathing spot at the south-eastern end of Källtorpssjön, a small forest lake in the Nacka nature reserve about 6 km south-east of central Stockholm. Sunbathers use the flat rocks along the shore, and the lake water warms up well in summer. It is rocky, so there is no sand, and there are no public toilets. Another nude spot, PGs Udde, lies at the northern end of the same lake.
Kalvøya naturist beach
Kalvøya is a wooded island in the inner Oslofjord just south of Sandvika in Bærum, owned by the municipality and linked to the mainland by a footbridge from Kadettangen. It is one of Bærum's most popular bathing spots, drawing up to 20,000 people on a sunny summer weekend, and combines child-friendly sandy bays, smooth rock outcrops, pine forest and meadows. The naturist beach is on the east side of the island, away from the main bays, Store and Lille badebukt, on the west and south. It is quieter than the family beaches. The north of the island is a nature reserve, the centre has Bronze and Iron Age burial mounds, and rare plants are protected, so flower-picking is banned and dogs must be on a lead.
Kambah Pool Reserve
Kambah Pool is a popular swimming hole on the Murrumbidgee River in the Murrumbidgee River Corridor on Canberra's south-western edge, below the suburb of Kambah in Tuggeranong. The main pool, with its sandy and rocky banks, picnic areas and car park, is a family swimming spot; the nude bathing area lies immediately downstream, in a more heavily vegetated stretch of river past the end of the main pool. It is the only legally designated nude bathing area in the ACT: the Nudity (Prescribed Area Kambah) Declaration 1979, made under the Nudity Act 1976 and still in force, prescribes the area, replacing an original 1976 declaration. Signs mark the start of the nude area. Here bathers use small sandy beaches, granite rocks and river pools among the casuarinas and river oaks. There are no lifeguards, river levels and currents change after rain, and blue-green algae alerts sometimes close the river to swimming in summer. Reports over the years mention vandalism of the toilets and some antisocial behaviour in the nude area, and the reserve gates are closed at night.
Kamp Kažela
Kažela is one of the biggest campsites in Istria, on the coast just east of Medulin about 10 km from Pula, and is now run as Arena Grand Kažela by the Arena Hospitality group. It is a large mixed campsite rather than a naturist resort: the Istrian tourist board lists about 1,000 marked pitches and room for over 4,000 guests along roughly 2 km of shoreline facing the small islands of Medulin Bay. Besides touring pitches there are mobile homes, rental caravans and tents. Part of the site has long been set aside for naturists, and Alan Rogers and the Slovenian camping guide avtokampi.si describe it as the only campsite around Pula and Medulin that is partly naturist; Alan Rogers adds that one of the site's two pool areas is reserved for nude bathing. The shoreline here is mostly sharp rock with only a few easier entry points, and the site is fairly open, with young trees giving limited shade. On-site services include a supermarket, several restaurants and bars, sailing and diving schools, water-skiing, tennis, minigolf and an evening entertainment programme. The tourist board says the campsite has opened year-round since 2020, though the naturist area and pools are a summer offer. Ask when booking for a pitch in the naturist section.
Kaniksu Ranch
Kaniksu Ranch, also called Kaniksu Family Nudist Resort, is a long-running family nudist resort in the forested hills near Loon Lake and Deer Lake in Stevens County, northeast Washington, about an hour north of Spokane. It has welcomed nudists of all ages since 1939. It is affiliated with AANR. The ranch describes itself as an inclusive, family-friendly nudist retreat rather than a clothing-optional one: nudity is the norm, and first-time visitors are encouraged to undress once they settle in. Cameras and photography are banned to protect guests' privacy. Guests can stay overnight, and the summer programme includes sports, activities and social gatherings. Access is through a locked gate, and mobile phone coverage near the ranch is unreliable. The ranch is open to the public from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and members can use it all year.
Kasjuni Beach
Kašjuni is the westernmost of the beaches on the southern side of Marjan, the forested hill-park that fills the peninsula west of Split's old town. The main beach sits in a deep, sheltered bay of small pebbles and is a favourite with local families; it has a café and changing cabins, and a separate dog beach lies just beside it, divided off by rocks. The Split Tourist Board states that one section of Kašjuni is designated for naturists and marked with a sign. Locally the nude area is associated with the rocky shore running west from the family beach, a stretch known as Pećine, where people spread out on flat rocks below the Marjan pines rather than on pebbles. Expect deeper water off the rocks, little or no facilities in the nude part, and natural shade only from the trees behind. Because the dog beach and the naturist area adjoin each other, there has been friction between the two groups in the past. It is the only marked naturist spot within walking or short bus distance of central Split.
Katikati Naturist Park
Katikati Naturist Park is a privately run naturist holiday park at 149 Wharawhara Road, about 3 km from Katikati in the Western Bay of Plenty, roughly 25 minutes north-west of Tauranga and two hours south of Auckland. It describes itself as a resort rather than a club: there is no joining procedure, committee or working bee, and guests simply book and stay. The park has a quiet, private riverside setting and is open all year. Accommodation covers tent sites and about 40 powered sites for caravans and campervans, on-site hire caravans with cooking gear, kitchen cabins, deluxe cabins, self-contained chalets and a small park motel, with bedding for hire. Shared facilities include an ablution block with plenty of hot water, a laundry, a communal kitchen with barbecue, a swimming pool, a spa pool and sauna, a recreation room with pool table and TV, and outdoor games including pétanque, frisbee golf, volleyball and mini golf. It suits couples and families looking for a relaxed nude holiday base near the Kaimai Range walking tracks, Bay of Plenty beaches about 15 minutes away, and Katikati's shops and wineries.
Katzensee Lake
The Katzensee is a pair of small lakes, joined by an artificial canal, on the northern edge of Zurich between Affoltern and Regensdorf, set in a nature reserve with protected moorland of national importance. The City of Zurich's sports office runs a free lake bath, Seebad Katzensee, on the lower lake, with about 80 metres of sandy natural shoreline, big lawns, a children's water-play area and playground, a kiosk, changing rooms and barbecue fireplaces at the forest edge. The site was renovated in winter 2023/24. Within the bath is a small FKK meadow and nude bathing beach with its own lake access, separated from the rest of the bath by a privacy screen; nude bathing is allowed only there. The shallow lake warms early in the season and suits longer swims, though some visitors find the water murky and the entry over small stones awkward. The nude area is the main sore point: regulars say it is too small for the numbers on sunny days, often damp and muddy along the access path, and partly shaded. Couples, families and solo visitors of all ages use it. Inflatables and SUPs are not allowed, and dogs and bikes are banned from the grounds.
Kazanu
Kazanu is a small adults-only guesthouse at 59 Rue des Arawaks in Oyster Pond, on the French side of Saint-Martin in the Caribbean. Clothing is optional throughout the property. It has six rooms with private bathrooms, a pool, a shared kitchen and free Wi-Fi, and the hosts speak English and French. It suits couples looking for a quiet nude-friendly stay close to the east-coast beaches. Book directly with the owners.
Keough Hot Ditch
Keough Hot Ditch is a string of free, informal soaking pools in the channel that carries hot water away from Keough's Hot Springs, a historic commercial pool resort about eight miles south of Bishop in California's Owens Valley, at roughly 4,100 feet. Nobody runs the ditch: locals have built low rock dams along it to create a series of fairly large, clear pools, and there are no facilities of any kind. Water leaves the resort at around 130°F and usually passes an aerator first, so the pools are typically in the high 90s to around 100°F, warmest upstream and cooler the farther you go. When the aerator is off, the upper pools can get much hotter, so test before you get in. The open desert setting gives views of the Eastern Sierra, though high-voltage power lines run overhead and hum near the lower pools. Clothing customs are mixed. Daytime soakers mostly wear swimsuits, while nude soaking is reported as common, especially in the evening and after dark among regulars; one guide nonetheless lists swimwear as required, so be discreet. The paid resort pools upstream always require suits. In 2018 a child died of Naegleria fowleri infection after bathing here, and Inyo County has posted warning signs.
Keutschacher See
Keutschacher See is a warm, lowland lake in the wooded hills south-west of Klagenfurt in Carinthia, part of the Fünf-Seen-Land around Keutschach. Its south shore is unusual: three naturist campgrounds sit side by side directly on the water, together offering room for more than 3000 guests, which is why the area is often called one of the largest naturist complexes on any European lake. The Kärntner Lichtbund's Turkwiese is a members' club site, while Müllerhof and Sabotnik/Kaufitsch are commercial FKK campgrounds with mobile homes, apartments and a pension; Müllerhof advertises three bathing beaches backed by pine woods. The nude areas are the campgrounds' own lawns, small beaches and jetties, not a public beach, so access goes through the sites. The water warms well in summer and the lake is shallow at its edges. All three sites open roughly from May to September.
Kiata Country Club
Kiata Country Club is a private naturist members' club on 26 hectares of natural bushland in the Hawkesbury district of New South Wales, between Windsor and Wisemans Ferry and about 65 km north-west of central Sydney. Founded in 1970, it marked 50 years in 2020 and calls itself Australia's largest nudist club. It is owned and run by a private company on behalf of its shareholders, is affiliated with the Australian Naturist Federation, and stresses that it is a members' club rather than a resort or caravan park. Facilities centre on a clubhouse with audio-visual equipment for events, a heated pool and spa, and bush walking trails. The trails lead to a seasonal waterfall that runs mainly after heavy rain, a rock shelter in a fern-filled gully, a small cave and a lookout with a bench, and the property is home to native plants and wildlife. Overnight options are on-site rental vans and powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents. The club is not clothing-optional: nudity is expected when the weather allows, while children may stay clothed. Couples, families and single adults are all accepted as visitors.
Kiepersolkloof
Kiepersolkloof is a private naturist nature reserve in the bushveld near Rustenburg in North West Province, described as South Africa's oldest private naturist facility. It offers caravan and camping sites as well as self-catering cottages, with walking in the reserve and a relaxed family atmosphere. The reserve is family-oriented and has traditionally not admitted single visitors. Rates and rules may have changed, so check with the reserve before booking.
Kiskundorozsma naturist beach and campsite
Sziksósfürdő is a small lake on the sandy plain north-west of Szeged, near Kiskundorozsma, about 12 km from the city centre. On its shore a naturist beach and campsite, known locally as Sziki, occupies a landscaped site of about five hectares with around 100 pitches, roughly half for touring guests. Day visitors can use the beach, and campers have tent and caravan pitches with electricity, rental caravans and small wooden houses. The site has a buffet and fast-food counter, hot and cold showers, a common room, children's play areas indoors and out, barbecue space and a sports area, and it presents itself as a family-oriented naturist place. The lake is shallow with a soft, muddy bottom, and the setting is open and green. The bathing water is registered with the county government office as a natural bathing site and has been rated satisfactory in recent years. It opens from early May to mid- or late September; listings disagree on the closing date, and one recent listing showed no current opening hours, so confirm before travelling.
Knähaken Nude beach, Helsingborg
Knähakenbadet is Helsingborg's only naturist beach, run by the city as one of its public bathing sites. It sits a short way south of the city centre on the Öresund coast, in a bay below a fairly steep slope, and looks straight across the strait towards Denmark. The beach is about 200 metres of sand, running from the pier at Högastensgatan in the south to the stone pier of the small Knähaken fishing harbour in the north, with the grassy Råå vallar area beyond its southern end. The city provides a jetty, an accessible toilet, drinking water and a kiosk, and signs mark the naturist bathing area. The sea off the beach is part of the Knähaken marine nature reserve, Sweden's first municipal marine reserve (2001), known for its rich seabed life, so anchoring boats and collecting animals or plants are not allowed. It is one of the best-known nude beaches in Skåne and is used by local naturists as well as visitors; the rocks around the piers are popular for sunbathing and swimming straight into deeper water.
Knattercamping Bantikow - FKK area
A family-run campsite on the Bantikower See in Ostprignitz-Ruppin with a separate 4,500 m² naturist section, screened from view, and its own nude bathing beach. The rest of the site is textile, so it suits mixed groups. Guides list it among Brandenburg's larger nudist camping options. Club-run sites like this often have no staffed reception, so contact the operator before arriving.
Kollevåg badestrand
Kollevåg is a public outdoor recreation area (friluftsområde) on the west side of Askøy, the island municipality across the fjord from Bergen. The area has two main bays, Meavågen and Vestrevågen, with swimming beaches, lawns and paths. Its official naturist beach is at Mjøsneset, a headland reached by a side path signposted 'Nakenbading tillatt' (nude bathing permitted). Norsk Naturistforbund describes it as a small official naturist beach with a grassy area and a strip of sand. The water gets deep quickly, which suits confident swimmers more than toddlers. The naturist beach has rubbish bins but no toilets. The wider recreation area has accessible toilets in both bays and a bathing ramp for people with reduced mobility in Vestrevågen. Tents are allowed in Vestrevågen. The beaches of the recreation area were raised and resown in spring 2018. Kollevåg is very popular with Bergen residents on warm days, and the car parks fill up, so the naturist federation encourages visitors to come by bus.
Kölpinsee Parkplatz FKK-Strand Klink
This is the nude beach on the Kölpinsee at Klink, in the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte) a few kilometres west of Waren. The Kölpinsee is a large, open lake of roughly 5 by 7 km, lying between the Müritz to the east and the Fleesensee to the west, with the Elde waterway flowing through it, so you will see passing motorboats and canoes in season. The FKK beach sits on the Klink shore, close to a car park, and is promoted by the state tourism board as a quiet, natural spot away from the busy resort beaches. Its standout feature is the water: the lake stays very shallow for a long way out, which makes for easy wading and warm water in high summer and suits families with small children. It is a simple, undeveloped stretch with no toilets or kiosk, so it attracts people who want a calm day rather than facilities. Access is free at any time. Klink itself is a holiday village with hotels, holiday flats and the large resort complex on the isthmus between the Müritz and the Kölpinsee, so food and supplies are a short drive or walk away.
Koversada Naturist Park
Koversada is the naturist half of a large Maistra-run camping resort on the coast just south of Vrsar in Istria, at the mouth of the Lim Bay. It opened as a naturist campsite in 1961 and Maistra bills it as the longest-running naturist centre in Europe. The resort is now split in two: Koversada Uncovered, the naturist campsite, and Koversada Covered, a separate textile campsite with its own restaurants, where guests from the naturist side must follow the clothed dress code. The naturist side offers shaded pitches under pine forest or close to the sea, plus modern mobile homes near the Lim Bay shore. Belgian federation material describes it as more a village than a campsite, with capacity for more than 5,000 guests in high season, shops, bars and restaurants, and sports including tennis, basketball, football, beach volleyball and minigolf. The shoreline is mostly flat rock slabs and concrete platforms with small pebble coves, and there is a small sandy beach for children facing Koversada islet. Recent additions include a food truck, a bakery-deli opened in 2026, a forest area set aside for yoga and meditation, a dog beach and a boat ramp. Payments at bars, restaurants and the sports centre are card-only. The season runs from late April to early October.
Kristall Wohlfühltherme Ludwigsfelde
The Kristall Wohlfühltherme is a commercial thermal spa in Ludwigsfelde, a small town in Brandenburg just south of Berlin's city limits. What sets it apart from most German thermal baths is that not only the sauna area but also the thermal pools are textile-free for most of the week: bathers use the brine pools, whirlpool and sauna garden nude, and swimwear is only compulsory in the sports pool. On Wednesdays and Sundays until 17:30 visitors may choose whether to wear swimwear in the thermal area. The sauna side has more than 13 themed saunas, among them a Kelo log earth sauna and a Himalayan salt grotto, with scheduled infusions using aromas and scrubs through the day. Water areas include indoor and outdoor pools filled with warm brine, a whirlpool and the separate sports pool, and there are free water-gymnastics sessions several times a day. Massages and treatments can be booked, and an on-site restaurant serves regional and international food. It is a day spa without accommodation.
Krumme Lanke
Krumme Lanke is a long, bent forest lake in Berlin-Zehlendorf, one of the chain of Grunewald lakes left behind by the last ice age and linked underground to the neighbouring Schlachtensee. It covers about 41 hectares and reaches a depth of around 6.6 metres. Berlin's official tourism portal states that people who want to sunbathe without swimwear can do so on a green area signposted as an FKK meadow; it describes this in the same passage as the large bathing lawn at the southern end of Fischerhüttenstraße, though it does not pin the meadow down more precisely, so look for the signs. Elsewhere the shore is wooded and the water can be reached from almost anywhere, and two shallow sandy bays at the northern end are popular with families. A path of a little over two kilometres runs right round the lake and is busy with walkers, joggers and cyclists, so the FKK lawn is not secluded. The lake is a city bathing water monitored by Berlin's health authority (LAGeSo), with no lifeguards or entry fee. In hard winters people skate on the ice, and anglers fish for some 18 species.
Kúalaug Hot Spring
Kúalaug, sometimes called Marteinslaug, is a small natural hot pool beside the road in the Haukadalur valley, about two kilometres from the Geysir geothermal area on the Golden Circle route. The water sits around 40 degrees Celsius, entry is free and there are no facilities. Public nudity is not common in Iceland, but quiet pools like this suit a discreet nude soak when nobody else is around. Do not bathe in the much hotter Marteinshver spring nearby.
L'Arbre Or et Sens
Guest house in the Isère countryside that hosts groups of six to fourteen people for yoga, Pilates and wellness retreats, and opens its spaces to naturist groups.

L'Eden Naturiste (Challans)
Naturist guest house run by private hosts at Chemin de la Morinière in Challans, in northern Vendée, within reach of the Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez and Notre-Dame-de-Monts beaches.

La Béraude (Club du Soleil de Valence)
Members-only naturist ground at Gilhac-et-Bruzac in the Ardèche hills west of Valence, run by the Club du Soleil de Valence. The site offers fine views, a sauna, a barbecue and fields of fragrant irises, and members go on nude walks along local trails, share aperitifs and celebrate traditions like Epiphany cake. The club does not receive the general public, but prospective members are welcome to apply.
La Boisnière (Natanjou)
Hidden naturist ground called La Boisnière, enclosed by green hedges at Cornillé-les-Caves near the Loire, between Angers and Saumur. Run by Natanjou, it has a pool, new sanitary facilities, large pitches, swings and slides, and archery. The association holds themed meals, meetings with other clubs and walks, and the Angers, Plessis-Bourré and Brissac châteaux are close by.
La Breur (Club du Soleil de Mâcon-Laizé)
Wooded naturist ground at Laizé in Saône-et-Loire, rented by the Club du Soleil de Mâcon since 1972. Members can use it year-round, while FFN-licensed holidaymakers are welcome from late May to mid-September.

La Chambre d'Alice
Year-round naturist guest room for two in the village of Yronde-et-Buron in the Auvergne, with exposed stone walls and a view towards the Sancy massif and Mont-Dore.

La Châtaigneraie d'Armor (Club Gymnique de l'Ouest)
Six-hectare naturist ground 'La Châtaigneraie d'Armor' at Couëron, ten minutes from Nantes, run by the Club Gymnique de l'Ouest, one of France's oldest clubs (1950).

A free discovery day is offered.
La Chiappa Village Naturiste
La Chiappa is a large naturist holiday village on the Chiappa peninsula south-east of Porto-Vecchio in southern Corsica, facing the Cerbicale islands. The site covers roughly 60-65 hectares of maquis with about 3 km of its own coastline, made up of sandy beaches and small rocky coves. It combines a campsite with around 230 touring pitches (large, unmarked and partly car-free, plus about 100 permanent plots) and some 235 rental bungalows and villas for two to six people, some with sea views. Facilities include two sea-view swimming pools (one heated), a sauna, several restaurants and a bar, a bakery service and a small shop. The activity list is long for a naturist site: a diving centre, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing, horse and pony riding, tennis, padel, beach volleyball, mini-golf, yoga, massages and a seasonal kids' club. It is a nudist village, with nudity the norm across the grounds and beaches, though some guests note that the rule is applied loosely. The season runs from early May to mid-October.
La Combe de Ferrière
Six-hectare naturist campsite in the Cévennes of Lozère with lush vegetation, clear rivers and rocky terrain. About 35 pitches are spread over four meadows and terraces among the vines, and two gîtes and three studios are available in the farmhouse above. The owners serve table d'hôte dinners on the terrace several times a week and sell local products. There is a pool and sauna.
La Couliche (Club Naturiste en Albigeois)
Back-to-nature naturist ground at La Couliche, Cestayrols, near Albi, run by the Club Naturiste en Albigeois. It is a simple rural camp with only six pitches for wild-style camping, a newly installed bright yurt, hot showers and clean toilets, but no pool, restaurant or Wi-Fi. Orchids and wild flowers thrive, and deer, squirrels and frogs are common neighbours. Members meet monthly for a meal out of season.
La Haute Garduère
Family naturist estate created in 1974 by naturist pioneers on a 70-hectare entirely naturist natural domain between Figanières and Callas in the Var. It is both a club ground used by several families and a small holiday centre where newcomers are warmly welcomed by regulars. The site is quiet and secluded yet well placed for exploring Provence, and opens from mid-April to mid-September.
La Jenny
La Jenny is a naturist residential estate in Le Porge on the Atlantic coast of the Gironde, south-west France. It covers about 127 hectares of pine forest, with tree-lined chalets, children's activities and events. The estate has a large pool complex, reported at around 1,000 square metres with four basins, along with a restaurant, a bar, shops, a beauty centre and sports grounds. Sources disagree on the golf course: one guide describes a naturist golf course of more than 10 hectares, and the stored record says 18 holes. A path runs through the pines to the ocean, and the sandy beach nearby is one where naturism is permitted. Listings quote different numbers of chalets and rental units. The estate suits people who want a self-contained naturist village with its own facilities. Day-visit rules, membership requirements and current prices were not found in the sources, so check directly with the estate before travelling.
La Lecciona
La Lecciona is a long, wild beach of fine sand between Viareggio and Torre del Lago Puccini in Tuscany, backed by high dunes and the holm-oak and pine woods of the Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli regional park. Unlike most of the Versilia coast it has no beach clubs, and you can reach it only on foot. On 22 April 2022 Viareggio's municipal executive designated the stretch between rescue points 13 and 15 for naturism, at the request of the Italian naturist association ANITA and with the park authority's approval; the resolution notes the area had been used by naturists for many years. The stretch must stay free and open to all, with signs agreed with the park. It is one of Tuscany's busiest nude beaches, with naturists and a large gay crowd. Bring shade and water, since there are no services on the nude stretch.
La Maison de Valérik
Spacious single-storey villa of 159 m² at Montarnaud, a few minutes from Montpellier, rated four stars by Hérault Tourisme. It opens onto natural surroundings with no overlooking neighbours, which the owners present as ideal for a discreet naturist stay for families or groups of friends. It is listed as an FFN partner with a discount for licence holders.
La Moque Souris
Naturist bed and breakfast near Lisieux run by Pascal and Cathy, with three upstairs guest rooms overlooking a lake. It suits guests who enjoy nature, calm and fishing in the Pays d'Auge countryside. The FFN lists it as a partner offering a discount to licence holders.
La Petite Brenne
Naturist campsite on 42 hectares of forest and meadow in the Brenne regional nature park, with a stream and one of the area's many ponds. Campers choose their own spot, either secluded in nature or close to the lively courtyard with terraces, bar, pizzeria and a restaurant in a 200-year-old barn. There are two pools, a paddling pool, a wood-fired sauna, large sanitary blocks and plenty of activities.
La Plage des Templiers
La Plage des Templiers is a three-star naturist campsite at the bottom of the Gorges de l'Ardèche, on a 3.5-hectare estate squeezed between limestone cliffs and a pebble beach on the river, within the Saint-Remèze commune. It is one of the classic sites of French naturism, with a loyal international clientele of families, couples and walkers. There are 66 pitches for tents and small caravans on shaded natural terraces with water and electricity, and 34 rentals: equipped safari-style tents, ecolodges built among the rock and holm oaks, and a few wooden chalets. Three sanitary blocks and a children's block serve the site. The river is the swimming pool: there is no pool, but the private naturist beach is supervised in summer and the site has its own canoe base. A riverside bar-restaurant with simple regional food, a pizzeria, a minimarket with bread, a shared barbecue and a library cover daily needs; take-away and full restaurant service run in high season. Activities include guided naturist hikes, sunrise yoga, volleyball, petanque, fishing and acoustic evenings, and there is a playground for children. Free Wi-Fi is limited to one area. The gorge setting is spectacular and quiet once the day canoeists have passed.
La Pomme Dorée (ANDE)
Richly wooded four-hectare naturist ground at Harcourt in the Eure, managed by the Association Naturiste du Département de l'Eure. Members and FFN licence holders find pitches for tents and caravans, a large clubhouse with hot showers and kitchen, a sauna, table tennis, youth corner, fitness trail and communal barbecue. A different activity is organised each month, from themed evenings to treasure hunts and a New Year party.
La Remise Gasconne
Naturist gîte for up to four people in a restored 18th-century stone house on one hectare at Louslitges in the Gers, with views to the Pyrenees. Hosts Serge and Lucie offer a family bedroom, lounge, equipped kitchen and internet access. Guests share a heated pool, sauna, library, barbecue and pizza oven, a shaded enclosed garden and a children's play area.
La Robertanne (Club du Soleil de Saint-Étienne)
Six-hectare wooded naturist campsite called La Robertanne, 8 km from Saint-Étienne, with around 60 pitches suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes, open from June to September. Licence holders enjoy oak shade, a shared vegetable garden, a pool and paddling pool, library, boules, communal kitchen and volleyball court. Water sports on the Grangent lake and walks are nearby.
La Roul'Hôte
A single insulated, fully equipped gypsy-caravan holiday rental set in a walnut grove on a one-hectare private property between Sarlat and Montignac-Lascaux in the Périgord Noir. Guests have a view over the valley and use of an 11 × 5 m swimming pool. The owners are FFN partners and welcome naturists, and the location suits visits to the area's classified villages and prehistoric sites.
La Roulotte du Pévèle
A luxuriously fitted gypsy caravan holiday rental set apart at the edge of a meadow in Avelin, in the Pévèle south of Lille. It sleeps two to four people and combines the independence of a gîte with the comfort of a guest room. The FFN lists it as a partner, and the owners note the place can be naturist or not, depending on each guest's wishes.
La Serre de Portelas (Club du Soleil Clermont-Ferrand)
Naturist grounds of the Club du Soleil Clermont-Ferrand on a plateau at about 800 m altitude near Saint-Saturnin, 25 km from Clermont-Ferrand, with views to the Monts du Sancy, Livradois and Forez. Four mobile homes can be rented, and members and visitors enjoy a pool, tennis, volleyball and pétanque as well as hiking and mountain biking nearby. It makes a base for exploring the Auvergne volcanoes.
La Sirena Beach
Playa La Sirena is the official naturist beach of Rocha department on Uruguay's Atlantic coast, a stretch of open ocean beach about 2-2.5 km north of the small resort of Aguas Dulces, in Castillos municipality. It opened as a naturist beach in 2012 with the authorisation of the departmental government, becoming Uruguay's second after Playa Chihuahua in Maldonado. The beach is wide, with fine pale sand and open Atlantic water, and is backed by dunes with native dune vegetation, small marshes, ponds and stands of pine and acacia. Signposts mark where the naturist section begins. It is clothing-optional rather than nude-mandatory, though the department suggests full nudity on the sand. There is no infrastructure at all: no lifeguard, no food, no toilets or shade structures, so it suits visitors who want a quiet, natural beach. Outside the summer season the surrounding woods are home to capybaras and foxes, and coastal birds are present year-round.
La So'Nat du Cèdre
Naturist bed and breakfast with two comfortable rooms in a quiet village in the Charolais-Brionnais, about 45 minutes from Mâcon and 25 minutes from Cluny. Breakfast is served on shaded terraces in fine weather. Guests can use a large wooded garden with an above-ground pool, a two-person spa, billiards, barbecue and free internet, and book naturist Californian or hot-stone massages.
Lady Bay Beach
Lady Bay, also known as Lady Jane Beach, is a small sandy cove on the harbour side of South Head in Sydney Harbour National Park, between Camp Cove and the tip of South Head near Watsons Bay. It looks west across the harbour to Middle Head, with the red-and-white striped Hornby Lighthouse a short walk away. It has been a nude beach since the 1970s and is named, with Cobblers Beach, as a designated nude bathing beach in the NSW Local Government Amendment (Nude Bathing) Act 1996; the national parks service describes it as a designated nude bathing area where swimwear is optional. The beach is tucked below sandstone cliffs and reached by steep steps from the South Head Heritage Trail. The water is usually calm but the beach is unpatrolled. It is small, so it fills up quickly on hot weekends, and it has long been popular with Sydney's gay community as well as tourists walking the trail.
Lagun Sunset Resort
Lagun Sunset Resort is a small adults-only nudist retreat on the beachfront at Lagun, on the western side of Curaçao. The operator presents it as a relaxed, body-positive place rather than a swingers' resort, and host Henny Raven writes its welcome message. It has four oceanview suite types, from a 35 m² junior suite to a 91 m² penthouse with a 45 m² terrace, most with sea-view terraces and fully equipped kitchens. Clothing is optional throughout the property, not just on the beach. The site is compact: an infinity pool with a poolside bar, direct access to the sea, and dive facilities with snorkelling from the shore. There is no restaurant on site, but groceries can be delivered for an extra fee. The resort is a short drive from several nearby beaches, including Lagun Beach, Kleine Knip and Jeremi Beach, which are used by the general public. Reviews on Booking.com are very positive, with praise for the owner's hospitality and the penthouse views, though the sample is small.
Laguna del Sol
Laguna del Sol is a clothing-optional resort on about 250 acres at Wilton, just south of Sacramento in California's Central Valley. Sources describe it as open since 1961. The grounds include a 25-acre lake with a path for walking, running and cycling, several swimming pools where clothing is not allowed, sports courts and a restaurant and lounge. Lodging ranges from rooms and park model cottages to RV and tent sites, and first-time visitors need an introductory tour. Pricing reports vary: one article gives lodging at about 80 to 145 dollars a night and campsites at 14 to 27 dollars, and another gives a daily visitor fee of 29 dollars per person. Those figures may be dated. The stored description (lake, pools, trails) matches these listings. Current rules, rates and tour schedules need checking with the resort, since the sources differ in age.
Lake Bronson Club
Lake Bronson Club is a member-run, family-oriented nudist club about five miles north of Sultan in Snohomish County, in the Cascade foothills roughly 40 miles northeast of Seattle. It dates from the late 1930s and bills itself as the largest year-round clothing-free park in the Northwest; press reports describe about 320 acres of forest. Summer life centres on a seven-acre spring-fed lake with four floating docks and a beach, where guests swim, sunbathe and take out the club's kayaks, canoes, paddleboats and paddleboards. Private trails wind through the woods, one of them to an 85-foot waterfall on the Sultan River. Other facilities include a hot tub and sauna, a lounge for indoor events, modern restrooms, showers and laundry, a children's playground, pickleball and tennis courts, volleyball, disc golf, horseshoes and a giant foosball table. Visitors can stay in the RV park, camp, or rent one of the cabins or rooms. Nudity is the norm across the grounds and is required in the water, on the docks and in the sauna; a cover-up is needed in food preparation areas. The club runs potlucks, dances and themed events through the year and has held mass skinny-dipping record attempts.
Lake Como Nudist Resort
Lake Como Family Nudist Resort is a historic naturist resort at 20500 Cot Road in Lutz, about 15 miles north of Tampa, Florida. The resort says it has operated since 1941, which would make it one of the oldest continuously running nudist resorts in North America. It is now a cooperative owned by more than 100 resident members. The property covers about 200 wooded acres, including a 111-acre nature preserve, a lake for paddling, a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a pool and a restaurant with bar. Accommodation includes cottages, cabins, motel rooms and RV sites, and day passes are available. Children under 18 are welcome but must be accompanied by a resident, member or registered guest. The resort's own FAQ says it is a traditional nudist resort rather than clothing-optional, with nudity required at the pool, hot tub and sauna and expected elsewhere when the weather allows. A naturist directory calls it clothing-optional, and the sources conflict on this point. The resort's own description is the more authoritative one.
Lake Edun
Lake Edun is a clothing-free outdoor park on roughly 60 wooded acres around a private lake on the southwest side of Topeka, in Shawnee County. It is run by the Lake Edun Foundation, a not-for-profit educational foundation, and was set up in the early 1980s by a Topeka couple; the name is 'nude' spelled backwards. The grounds have a lake with an unsupervised swimming area and a small beach, volleyball, gardens, primitive hiking trails and maintained picnic and camping areas, and saunas are fired up in cold weather. Overnight camping is allowed, though private events sometimes close parts of the property. The foundation is explicit that it is not a clothing-optional venue: men must be nude, while women may wear bottoms. Membership has historically been small, around 75 to 100 people with a median age in the 50s according to a mid-2000s student newspaper feature, and the foundation keeps a do-not-admit list for anyone who behaves inappropriately. Lake Edun spent years in a zoning dispute with Shawnee County from 1998 into the mid-2000s over admission charges on agricultural land, but it remains open and still holds events such as an annual autumn fish fry. The season runs from May to October.
Lake O' The Woods Club
Lake O' The Woods Club is a member-owned co-operative nudist club on Sager Lake, just outside Valparaiso in Porter County, northwest Indiana, within an hour of Chicago. Camping listings date it to 1933, which would make it one of the oldest naturist clubs in the United States, and describe about 130 acres of hilly woodland around a spring-fed lake of roughly 20 acres. The club stresses that it is not a resort: there is no regular staff, members run it, and it describes itself as a haven for respectful, non-sexual social nudity. The lake has sandy beaches, floating docks and a sun deck, and members lend boats and some fishing gear. A clubhouse holds a recently remodelled sauna, hot tub, showers and kitchen, and outside there is a heated pool, sand volleyball, a playground, lawn games, tennis and pickleball by the tent area, and a 1.4-mile trail circling the lake. Visitors can camp in tents or bring an RV, with hookups available. Full members have year-round access, while visitors come during the summer season, which for 2027 runs from May 21 to Labor Day. Families are part of the membership, and a playground and dog beach reflect that.
Lake Saint Clair Nature Retreat
Small, secluded clothes-optional campground on the Limestone Coast near Nora Creina, set in natural bush near Lake St Clair and close to Sunland Holiday Village. Powered and unpowered sites suit tents and RVs, cabins are listed, and toilets, drinking water and swimming are available. The host asks that guests do not bring children, so it suits adults looking for a quiet nude camping break. Stays are booked online through Hipcamp.
Lakeside Farm Naturist Holidays
A naturist holiday park near Spilsby and Skegness, open all year on a 13-acre site with a 2.5-acre boating and fishing lake and a five-acre nature reserve. Static caravans, cabins and studios can be rented, and there are hook-up pitches for caravans and tents. A clubhouse, small shop, sauna, large hot tub, putting green and visitors' kitchen are free to use. Day visitors are accepted.
Lancashire Sun
A member-owned club on a secluded ten-acre woodland site at Rufford, within 20 minutes of Preston, Southport and the M6. It has sheltered lawns, a solar-heated outdoor pool with a decked sun area, a hot tub, a sauna, two miniten courts and a seven-piste petanque court, plus a clubhouse with kitchen. A cottage and a club caravan can be hired, and there are camping and touring areas.
Langoyene
Langøyene is a car-free island in the inner Oslofjord, at the mouth of the Bunnefjorden just east of Nesoddtangen. It is one of the most popular summer islands for Oslo residents. The island is a public recreation area, and Norsk Naturistforbund lists a section on its south side as an official naturist area. The heart of it is a small, sheltered cove that is easy to swim from and close to the boat landing. The rest of the naturist side is rocky shoreline, where you can climb around the rocks and find a more private ledge. Drinking water, a toilet and a rubbish bin are at the nearby clothed beach. Camping is allowed: you may pitch a tent for up to two nights, and the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) has a hut on the island. Oslo's municipal environment agency (Bymiljøetaten) is credited for the map of the area.
Lavinia Naturist Resort
Belgian-owned naturist villa resort in the countryside 20 minutes inland from Alicante airport, created from a restored ruin. Six apartments and villas sleeping about 25 guests share gardens, two pools, a sauna, a library and a bar. Reviewers stress that it is a genuinely naturist resort rather than clothing-optional. It appears in the regional tourism register.
Le 13depic
Small FFN partner lodging in the Loire with a 50 m² one-bedroom unit for two and a private wellness area that can also be booked separately. It includes a cocoon space with hammock and a Nordic bath heated to 38.5 °C, a wood-fired Finnish sauna and a pool heated from March to October, used as a cold plunge in winter. Outdoor areas are not overlooked.
Le Bau Rouge
Le Bau Rouge (also written Les Bau Rouges) is a small rocky beach at the foot of the cliffs west of Carqueiranne, on the Var coast between Toulon and Hyères, towards Le Pradet. It is the commune's only naturist beach and one of the oldest authorised naturist beaches on the French Riviera: Atout France records that it was officially authorised in 1977. The beach is roughly 200 m of stones and large smooth rock slabs rather than sand, below cliffs whose rock shades from beige through violet to wine red. The water is very clear, and the rocky outcrops and seabed make it a favourite with snorkellers, divers and sea-urchin gatherers. There is no lifeguard and no beach service, and swimming can be tricky in wind. Part of the beach, set apart from the rest, is frequented by gay men. Access has been the main problem in recent years: the long staircase that served the beach was reported closed in 2024 and 2025, and visitors have had to use a path further east.
Le Betulle
Le Betulle is a naturist village and campsite at La Cassa, in the hills north-west of Turin near the foothills of the Alps. Founded in 1969, it covers more than 14 hectares of woodland and meadow, and is one of the older naturist centres in northern Italy. Accommodation comprises wooden and masonry bungalows for two to four people with kitchen equipment, mobile homes for four with their own bathrooms, caravans in several configurations, a wooden chalet for up to four, and pitches for tents and campers. The main facility is an 18 by 11 metre naturist pool with an adjoining jacuzzi, alongside a Finnish sauna and a steam bath. A clubhouse has a bar, a library and a communal lounge, and there are green areas and equipped spaces around the grounds. The village pitches itself at couples and families, with games, themed evenings and dances; children under six stay free when with adults. Nudity is the norm in the village and pool. The pages we opened did not give opening dates; check with the village before travelling outside summer.

Small, friendly naturist campsite between Sarlat and Rocamadour in the Lot, well placed for exploring the Lot and Dordogne. From mid-May to late September, powered pitches are available without booking, alongside bungalow tents, mobile homes and caravans.

Le Clos Barrat
Le Clos Barrat is a small, family-run naturist campsite at Sérignac in the Lot, in the Quercy countryside south-west of Cahors. It occupies about 10 hectares of woodland and meadow, and the vehicle-free layout keeps it quiet. The regional tourist board lists 65 large pitches of at least 120 m² for tents, caravans and motorhomes, with electricity, plus rental mobile homes and studios, for a total capacity of around 300 people (other guides give slightly higher pitch counts). Facilities include a heated swimming pool and a children's pool, a sauna, a bar and restaurant with a TV lounge, a games room and library, a playground, pétanque courts, barbecue areas and a small shop selling local produce, with bread delivered in the morning. Wi-Fi is free, bikes can be hired and there is an EV charging point. In summer there are music evenings and occasional discos, and the site has offered yoga and qi gong sessions and massages.

The turquoise Lac de Monteynard, with water sports and Himalayan-style footbridges, is nearby.
Le Dorier (Loisirs et Soleil de Saint-Étienne)
Le Dorier is a naturist campsite run by volunteers of the Loisirs et Soleil de Saint-Étienne association, a non-profit club founded in 1974 and affiliated with the French Naturist Federation (FFN) since then. It sits on a six-hectare, south-facing slope at 650 to 695 m above the Gorges de la Loire, in the commune of Saint-Victor-sur-Loire, about 15 km from the centre of Saint-Étienne, with broad views over the gorge. It is a small, sociable, associative site rather than a commercial holiday park. There are about 25 separate pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, some with electric hookups on request, and a few caravans to rent with beds, a kitchenette, a living area and a terrace, suited to couples or small families. Shared facilities include a heated common room with a stove, kitchen, lounge corner and library, communal fridges and freezer, barbecues and a wood-fired oven lit at weekends, a swimming pool with a children's paddling pool and solar showers looking over the gorge, a petanque ground, a play area and table football.

Le Marcassin de Saint-Aubin
Le Marcassin is a small, quiet naturist campsite at Saint-Aubin-de-Nabirat in the south of the Périgord Noir, near the Lot border. It has about 20 touring pitches on a site of roughly one and a half hectares, a few chalets, tents and caravans to rent, a swimming pool and a bread service. Visitors mention friendly owners and communal dinners a few times a week. It suits those seeking calm rather than entertainment. Open from late April to early or mid-September.
Le Mas de la Balma
Naturist campsite at Montbolo in the Pyrénées-Orientales, 300 m from a lake and from a river with direct beach access.

A bar-restaurant is in the neighbouring Ulysse village and shops are at Aphrodite, a short walk away. The resident association promotes respectful, family naturism.
Le Mas de Lignières
Intimate naturist campsite with a deliberately small number of pitches on six sunny hectares in the Minervois, about 45 minutes from Carcassonne. Pitches sit among vines and pine woods with olive, almond and cypress trees. Guests enjoy the pool and barbecues, and the owners can supply fresh bread, local produce and Minervois wine. Clothed hikes with Pyrenees views start nearby.
Le Mas des Sauges
Three-star gîte at the foot of the Pic Saint-Loup, 20 km north of Montpellier, listed as an FFN partner. It has a relaxation pool, swimming lane and spa treated with active oxygen and UV rather than harsh chemicals, and rainwater is collected for the garden. The owners work with local organic producers such as Château de Lancyre and a nearby organic bakery.
Le Moulin de la Ronde
Small naturist campsite hidden among woods and meadows at La Chapelle-Saint-Laurian in the Indre, a starting point for walks in the Brenne. From Easter to All Saints', FFN licence holders can use about 35 pitches and three gîtes. There is an outdoor pool, table tennis and archery, and unusually horse riding and a disco are offered. Pets are accepted on pitches.
Le Pas de Ceilhes (Les Grifouls)
Naturist campsite in the Sorgues valley of southern Aveyron, run for 50 years by the Grifouls club. Some 87 spacious pitches lie on a flat 157-hectare estate, accessible to people with disabilities. There is no mains electricity at pitches (12 V packs can be rented), but there is a pool, solar showers, a centuries-old farmhouse used for music evenings, and spring water. A trail leads 2 km to the fortified church of Saint-Xist.
Le Pont d'Adèle
Naturist campsite opened in 2011 on 15 hectares at the site of the former château of Murinais in Isère, facing the Vercors massif. It offers about 35 pitches of 100 to 200 m² under trees or on terraces, and five individually styled gîtes around a pool. A wellness area with sauna, showers and spa is available, and climbing, paragliding, kayaking and the Choranche caves are nearby.
Le Relais des Chartreuses
Four-star maison-hôtel at the foot of the Albères near Le Boulou, close to the Spanish border and a few kilometres from the Bocal du Tech naturist beach. On designated naturist dates guests can be nude on the terraces, around the pool and indoors, as the property is fully enclosed. A naturist evening table serves home-cooked meals on reservation.
Le Rêve de Poulaines
Small naturist campsite and guest house in the north of the Indre. Three spacious guest rooms are available all year, and six roomy camping pitches open from June to September.

Le Sérignan Plage Nature
Le Sérignan Plage Nature is a naturist campsite on the Hérault coast of the Mediterranean, in Sérignan. It has a long, sandy beach where naturism is allowed on the beach itself. The beach slopes gently into the water, which suits children, and the site is bordered by about 130 hectares of unspoilt land. Accommodation includes pitches, mobile homes and furnished beachfront tents; the regional tourism board lists mobile homes from about 364 to 504 euros a week. Facilities include a naturist spa for guests aged 16 and over, open in the mornings, with four pools in about 2,800 square metres, a 400 square metre outdoor pool, a children's club and a restaurant. Activities include a weekly jazz concert, pétanque, beach volleyball and table tennis. Capacity figures differ between sources, so check the site for current numbers before booking.
Le Vallon des Oiseaux
Naturist campsite on 50 hectares at 350 m altitude below the old village of Reillanne in the Luberon regional park, surrounded by lavender scents and fine landscapes. It offers pitches with or without electricity, mobile homes and simple chalets, a restaurant and daily bread delivery. The owners organise excursions to the Martigues naturist beach, Lac de Sainte-Croix, the Verdon gorges and local wineries.
Le Vauselet (Club Naturiste de la Meuse)
Flower-filled naturist club ground called Le Vauselet at Landrecourt, south of Verdun, where members of the Club Naturiste de la Meuse spend holidays and weekends. A chalet shelter is used in bad weather, and members play pétanque and skittles. Verdun's cathedral, World Peace Centre and battlefields are close by, as are the forests of the Côtes de Meuse.
Le Ventous (Club naturiste du Ventous)
Mid-mountain naturist club ground above Arles-sur-Tech in the Pyrénées-Orientales, occupying four maintained hectares within a 42-hectare family property. Naturist walks start from the site, and a path leads to a torrent where nude bathing is possible at the foot of a waterfall. The club is mainly active in summer, with pétanque, archery and shared meals; the pool has been closed during drought restrictions.
Le Village du Bosc
Family naturist campsite overlooking Lac du Salagou in central Hérault, set on the red 'ruffe' soil that gives the area its canyon-like look. Seventy-one pitches, bungalows and mobile homes sit on a wooded 80-hectare estate with naturist walking paths. There is a pool, playground, sports grounds, baby facilities, communal barbecue, shared meals and dance evenings.
Les Aillos
Four-star naturist campsite on six wooded hectares in the Lauragais at Caraman, east of Toulouse, with about 90 pitches plus mobile homes, chalets, an eco-lodge and a gypsy caravan. Facilities include a fenced pool with children's basin, a sauna with relaxation room, TV and library room, restaurant and bar, tennis, pétanque, fitness machines, barbecue and accessible sanitary facilities. Toulouse and the Canal du Midi are nearby.
Les Amis d'Alpes et Soleil – Lac de Laffrey
Enclosed 2,500 m² naturist club ground on the shore of Lac de Laffrey, south of Grenoble, used by Les Amis d'Alpes et Soleil. It has a barbecue, boules court and table tennis, and direct lake access where naturist bathing is authorised by municipal order. Members also fish and use pedalos and rowing boats, and the club organises cultural outings and two club meals a year. Free discovery days are offered by appointment.
Les Battées (Club du Soleil de Chalon-sur-Saône)
Spacious shaded naturist ground called Les Battées in the Bois Laboureau at Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune in southern Burgundy, run since 1986 by the Club du Soleil de Chalon-sur-Saône.

Les Beaux Jours
Naturist guest house in Charente-Maritime at Beurlay run by Béatrice and Philippe, long-time naturists, and open all year. Two family suites each have a double room and a twin room that can also be let separately, suiting couples, families or friends. The hosts aim for a calm, comfortable stay away from everyday bustle, and FFN licence holders receive a discount.
Les Bogues (Association Joie et Santé d'Orléans)
Three-hectare wooded naturist ground ten minutes south of Orléans on the edge of the Sologne, managed by the Joie et Santé association for decades. Besides members' caravans and bungalows, there are large equipped pitches for visitors and four rental bungalows for two to five people. Facilities include a heated pool, sports areas and a large shared barbecue, with bread delivery and themed meals, aqua-gym and pétanque in summer.
Les Bois de Valence (Club du Soleil Essonne)
Naturist campsite in a seven-hectare forest in the Gâtinais regional park, about an hour from Paris, run by the Club du Soleil Essonne. Members unwind, share themed dinners and play pétanque or volleyball, and there is a private pool. Day visitors and campers are accepted at certain times, notably July and August, with powered pitches available. The club promotes forest bathing among its oaks.
Les Crêtes (Club du Soleil de Lyon)
Naturist campsite of the Club du Soleil de Lyon, founded in 1962, on 3.7 wooded hectares called Les Crêtes at Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux in the Dombes, about 30 km north of Lyon near the Beaujolais. It has a seasonal pool, a communal bungalow with wood fire, gas hobs and fridges, a boules court and a library. Licensed naturists passing through with caravans can stay but should enquire in advance.
Les Esclamandes
Les Esclamandes is the largest beach in Saint-Aygulf, the seaside district of Fréjus on the Var coast: about 600 m of fine sand running north towards the mouth of the Argens river. The Fréjus tourist office divides it into four zones, one of which is a naturist zone; the others are a family area, a kitesurfing zone and an area where dogs are allowed. The naturist section is at the northern end, beyond the Bambusa beach bar and close to the river mouth, and is marked by 'Plage Naturiste' signs. Visitors report that it moved slightly in 2024. The sand is free of pebbles and the water is shallow and usually clear, though it can turn murky after rain with river outflow, and driftwood and debris wash up after storms. The zone is not policed, so clothed walkers, dog owners and kitesurfers pass through, especially in high season. Shade is minimal. It is a practical, easy-access naturist beach rather than a secluded one, used by local regulars, campers from the nearby sites and families.
Les Étangs de Saint-Pancras
Four-star naturist campsite of 30 pitches in a forest setting in Haute-Saône, between Betoncourt-Saint-Pancras and Dampvalley-Saint-Pancras near the Plateau des Mille Étangs. Four ponds on the site invite relaxation. Guests can stay in a tent, caravan or motorhome, rent a cabin or sleep out in hammocks, with spacious sunny or shaded pitches that are not overlooked.
Les Fées Natu'
Adults-only naturist gîte for couples at Vendémian in the Hérault, a 35 m² one-bedroom unit with panoramic, private views. Guests have a 9 × 4 m pool, a large new jacuzzi, a games room and mountain bikes. Minimum stays apply (two nights off season, a week in high season), with prices decreasing for longer stays.
Les Gîtes du Carpe Diem
Four naturist holiday cottages in an old building on a hilltop above Salviac in the Lot, five minutes from the Dordogne, with sunrise and sunset views over the valley. The location is central for Sarlat, Rocamadour, the Lascaux caves, the Padirac chasm and the Dordogne valley castles and gardens. FFN licence holders receive a seasonal discount.
Les Hayes (Club du Soleil des Vosges)
Two-hectare naturist ground built on a former military work at Les Hayes, Deyvillers, 7 km from Épinal, used for over 50 years by the Club du Soleil des Vosges and its 80 members. Shaded pitches suit tents, caravans and motorhomes for short stays. There is a boules area, sports field, picnic tables, barbecue, toilets and hot shower, and the club holds a monthly naturist pool and sauna slot at Épinal's Olympic pool outside summer.
Les Hespérides
Long-established naturist club (since 1958) with a peaceful wooded ground near the upper Juine valley in the Essonne. The intimate camp has seven pitches, rental caravans and a single chalet, and day visitors are accepted with a pass (free for children under ten). There is a pool with terrace, sauna, badminton and pétanque, changing room with lockers and free Wi-Fi, and themed meals, aqua-gym and sculpture workshops.
Les Lodges (La Motte)
Four-star naturist holiday apartments in the Var village of La Motte run by Marylène and Rémi Giraud, with a naturist quality label. Three bright units are offered, including a studio, a duplex with a large private terrace and a flat with a 28 m² balcony. Guests share a pool shaded by palm trees. The Esclamandes naturist beach at Saint-Aygulf is a short drive away.
Les Manoques
Four-star naturist campsite on the edge of the Quercy Blanc between Agen and Cahors, reached by a single small lane that keeps it secluded. Huge pitches of 110 to 300 m² offer real privacy, and canvas bungalows, mobile homes and chalets can be rented. A pool, sports areas, concerts, a snack bar with home-made desserts, and a free sauna and jacuzzi in the evenings are available, with paid massages and therapies.
Les Naturistes d'Alsace
Day club set on a small wooded island in the River Ill south of Strasbourg, reached by a small ferry. There is no camping: members come for the day to sunbathe, swim in the river and relax among carefully tended flower beds. Facilities are deliberately basic, with a sink, toilet, shower, pumped water, generator and barbecue, so visitors bring their own food and drink. The club holds open days for curious newcomers.
Les Pierres Tombées (Sugiton)
The Crique des Pierres Tombées is a small rocky cove in Marseille's 9th arrondissement, immediately beside the Calanque de Sugiton inside the Calanques National Park. It is about 100 m of rock slabs and boulders below the cliffs, with no sand. Marseille's tourist office states that naturism here has been authorised by a municipal order since August 2022, and lists naturists as the cove's main users, so nudity applies to the whole cove. Getting there is part of the experience: it is about an hour's walk on national park footpaths from the end of bus line B1 at Luminy. Because of erosion from overcrowding, the national park has required free advance booking for Sugiton and Pierres Tombées on peak summer days since 2022, capped at 400 visitors a day in 2026. On 1 October 2025 a rockfall at the foot of a cliff on the access path closed the site; the tourist office reports it reopened after rock-clearing work, but its listing still showed 'temporarily closed' in May 2026. There are no facilities at the cove.
Les Platgetes - Torre Bellver
Les Platgetes de Bellver are a string of small beaches at the southern tip of Orpesa (Oropesa del Mar) on the Costa del Azahar, right on the municipal boundary with Benicàssim. They sit below a low cliff line along the route of the old Valencia–Barcelona railway, now the Vía Verde del Mar walking and cycling path, and are overlooked by the Torre Bellver, an old coastal watchtower. The regional tourism board describes a beach of about 350 m with calm, shallow water protected by a breakwater and explicitly calls it a nudist beach; the Spanish Naturist Federation gives the whole stretch as about 650 m of sand and gravel and says it is classed as nudist in every guide. Because the water is calm and shallow, it suits children, and it carries a Blue Flag. Facilities are unusually good for a nude beach: showers, foot showers, public toilets, a car park, a walkway and adapted access. The federation rates summer occupancy as medium.
Les Saulaies
Naturist gîtes in the Anjou countryside at La Pouëze (Erdre-en-Anjou), run by Olivier and Bruno. Guests choose the Red Room with private shower and summer kitchen, a Mongolian yurt or a cabin in the woods. Olivier is a professional massage therapist, and yoga, reiki, tai chi and Pilates sessions are run by naturist instructors.
Les Terrasses du Port Rhu
Two naturist-only guest rooms in a quiet house in Douarnenez, approved by the FFN. The atmosphere is respectful and friendly, the town centre is about ten minutes away by car or bike, and food shops are close by. There is parking and a secure shelter for bicycles, making it a base for exploring the Finistère coast.
Les Thermes Strassen
Les Thermes is a large public leisure pool and sauna centre in Strassen, on the western edge of Luxembourg City. The aquatic side, where swimwear is worn, has a 25-metre pool, learning and children's pools, a wave pool, an outdoor pool, a jacuzzi and three slides, kept at about 29°C. The separate sauna and wellness area, which is the relevant part for nude bathing, has around six to nine saunas and steam rooms, including infrared, herbal, salt and a mound-style outdoor sauna, a Turkish hammam, an outdoor sauna pool and a sauna garden. As in neighbouring Germany and Belgium, the saunas are used without swimwear, and visitor reviews describe people sunbathing nude in the sauna garden; bathrobes are required in the rest rooms, which some visitors find odd given the nude sunbathing outside. The sauna is mixed every day, with a women-only session on Tuesday mornings. The centre runs occasional late 'Moonlight' sauna nights. It is open all year and is a convenient option for nude sauna bathing in the Luxembourg City area, though it is a public facility rather than a naturist venue, and the pools themselves are textile.
Leysdown Beach East
Leysdown East is the naturist beach at the eastern end of the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent, about 2 km south-east of Leysdown-on-Sea on the way to Shell Ness, facing the outer Thames Estuary. It is one of the few UK beaches described by British Naturism as official: the naturist area, about 250 m long, is marked by signs and starts roughly 100 m past a row of old wooden chalets east of Leysdown's main town beach. The beach is fairly wide coarse sand and crushed shell, with muddy patches in places, and is not greatly affected by the tide. Most people settle in the grassy dunes behind it, which extend about 50 m inland and have hollows that give shelter from the estuary wind. The water shelves gently and is not rough, so it suits less confident swimmers, although being estuary water it is never clear. The area beyond, toward Shell Ness, is part of the Swale nature reserve and is good for birdwatching. Access has become harder: the beach car park was dug up in 2021 and part of the coast road is private, so a walk is now needed.
Licht-Luft-Sportgemeinschaft Essen (LLSG)
A historic 'light and air' sports club in Essen-Bergerhausen, founded in 1893 and today a family sports club within the NRW naturist federation. Its grounds in the green south of Essen have a sunbathing lawn, a swimming pool and a sauna, and the programme runs from baby swimming to seniors' sport.
Lichtbund Karlsruhe
One of Germany's larger naturist family sports clubs, with around 800 members and a fenced six-hectare leisure ground on the eastern edge of Karlsruhe. Facilities include a 25 m swimming pool, a children's pool and playground, competition sports courts, a sauna open five days a week and a club restaurant. More than ten sports are offered, from volleyball and pétanque to yoga.
Lichtbund Niederrhein Duisburg
A naturist family sports club with its own ground on Druchterweg in the south of Duisburg, on the Lower Rhine. It is a member of the NRW naturist federation and offers members and visiting naturists a private place for sport, sunbathing and club life. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Lichtbund Saar
The only naturist ground in Saarland, a spacious club campsite in natural surroundings directly behind Schloss Münchweiler near Nunkirchen (Wadern). About 80 pitches take caravans and tents, with electric hook-ups available for guests. There is a large natural pool, two wash houses with toilets and showers, a club sauna in winter and drinks sales at weekends.
Lichtbund Unterweser (LBU)
A naturist club founded in 1957 that maintains a 4.5-hectare ground in the municipality of Schiffdorf just outside Bremerhaven. Campers and visitors can use courts for volleyball, badminton, pétanque, ring tennis and table tennis, cool off in the pool, and gather in the communal hut. Club-run sites like this often have no staffed reception, so contact the operator before arriving.
Lichtheideheim Glüsingen
A largely natural naturist holiday ground in the Lüneburg Heath at Glüsingen, operating since 1927. It has plenty of room for tents and caravans without mass tourism, and no vehicle traffic on site. There is a ball-games area, table tennis, a pool, a fireplace and a large lending library, and canoeing on heath streams and pony rides at a neighbouring organic farm are nearby.
Lido di Dante
Lido di Dante's naturist beach lies on the Adriatic south of the small resort of Lido di Dante, about 10 km southeast of Ravenna, between Lido di Dante and Lido di Classe toward the mouth of the Bevano river. Locally known as the 'Bassona', it is a wild stretch of fine sand backed by protected dunes and the Classe pine forest, within a nature reserve managed with the Carabinieri biodiversity service. Nude bathing here goes back about half a century and is now authorised each summer by mayoral ordinance. In 2026 (ordinance 554/2026) Area 1 runs for about 400 m starting 50 m from the pinewood access path, open from 30 May to 20 September; Area 2 opens from 15 July or 1 August, once Kentish plovers have finished nesting. Until 2010 the nude area stretched about 2 km to the Bevano mouth before the forestry service cut it back. There are almost no facilities, a lifeguard service runs in season, and the beach is popular with Italian and Northern European naturists, with the Associazione Naturisti Emilia-Romagna (ANER) organising volunteer clean-ups.
Lielupe Beach
Jūrmala's nude beach is in the Lielupe district, close to where the Lielupe river meets the Gulf of Riga at the city's eastern end. The city's tourism guide says this is where Jūrmala's nudists have traditionally gathered, and the Baltic Coastal Hiking route guide places it nearer the river estuary than Lielupe's main textile beach. Wikipedia's list describes it as a few hundred metres from the river mouth, small and often crowded. LSM includes Lielupe in its 2024 list of Latvian beaches where complete nudity is permitted. The beach is fine sand backed by dunes and pine forest. Being close to Riga and easy to reach by train, it fills up on hot weekends. Expect locals and Riga day-trippers rather than a tourist crowd. Windsurfers also use this end of the coast.
Liepāja Naturist Beach
Liepāja, on Latvia's Kurzeme coast, has a municipally designated nudist beach on the city's long Baltic shore south of the centre. Under the city's current beach rules (2024) the nudist zone, D9, runs from the northern edge of the Southern Cemetery (Dienvidu kapi) to the city's southern boundary, toward Pērkone; earlier rules placed a much shorter nude stretch just south of the seaside park, so older maps and directories may show the wrong spot. The coast here is the same as the rest of Liepāja's beach: wide, fine, pale sand backed by dunes and pine woods, with a shallow, sandy sea floor. Beyond the city's main beach the shore becomes quiet and natural, with no promenade or cafés, and the nude section has no lifeguards or built facilities beyond what the city places seasonally, so bring water and shade. Dunes are protected and must not be trampled. The Baltic is cool even in July and August, and wind can be strong, so a windbreak is useful.
Liga für Familiensport Wendelstein
The oldest naturist club in northern Bavaria, founded in 1925 as the 'Bund der Lichtfreunde' with the aim of gymnastics and sport in the open air with nude bodies. Its grounds are at Wendelstein south of Nuremberg, with a pool, sauna and camping. The club offers families with children a three-month trial membership.
Liga für freie Lebensgestaltung Hamburg (LffL)
A naturist family sports club whose green oasis lies on the boundary between Hamburg and Schenefeld, with large trees, wide lawns, a sparkling pool with warm, very clean water and a sauna used on fixed dates all year. Generous pitches take caravans and bungalows, and the club welcomes day and overnight guests interested in sport and good company.
Lilly Valley Nudist Club
A landed nudist club in the Niagara region, running Lilly Valley Camp on Pettit Road in Fort Erie, close to the Peace Bridge and the US border. It is a small, low-profile member club listed in the Federation of Canadian Naturists directory, with contact by email or phone rather than a public website.
Lincolnshire
naturist resort low cost accommodation, caravan and camping pitches near Skegness
Liquidrom Berlin
Liquidrom is a commercial thermal bath and sauna in Kreuzberg, Berlin, near Anhalter Bahnhof and Potsdamer Platz. It sits under a concrete dome, and its centrepiece is DOME 36, a 36°C saltwater pool where guests float to underwater music and light projections, with live DJ Sound Sessions on several evenings a week. It is not a naturist venue throughout. Swimwear is required in DOME 36, the indoor pool and The Cove, a dark warm-water retreat. The sauna world is textile-free as standard: the four heat rooms (90°C hot room, 80°C kelo sauna, 65°C salt room and 45°C steam room) and the cold plunge are used nude, with a large towel underneath on the benches. The outdoor saltwater 'Onsen' pool may be used with or without swimwear. Swimwear may be required at some special events. Phones and cameras must stay in the lockers, and there is a bar for drinks and snacks plus massage and bodywork treatments. Entry is from 14, and under-18s must come with a parent or guardian.
Little Beach at Muir Beach
Little Beach is the small cove at the north end of Muir Beach on the Marin County coast, about 16 miles north of San Francisco where Redwood Creek meets the Pacific below Mount Tamalpais. The main beach, sometimes called Big Beach, is a busy family and dog-walking beach managed as part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. At its northern end a jumble of large rocks and the base of the cliffs cut off a compact, semicircular sandy cove, and this is the clothing-optional part. Even at high tide the water usually covers only part of the sand. The cove is backed by steep bluffs with houses above, gets full sun when the fog clears, and offers no shade. The crowd is mixed and generally quieter than at Red Rock Beach further up the coast: a few dozen people on a typical summer weekend, and well over a hundred on the hottest days. The water is cold, there are no lifeguards, and sneaker waves and rip currents occur along this coast. Much of the land down to the tide line is in private parcels, and neighbours have periodically raised complaints about behaviour, so discretion matters.
Little Hot Creek Hot Springs
Little Hot Creek Hot Springs is a small, primitive soaking tub on open sagebrush land in the Long Valley Caldera east of Mammoth Lakes, at around 7,000 feet in the Eastern Sierra. A spring emerges at about 180°F and its water runs roughly 200 yards through grass along a little creek, cooling as it goes, to an oval concrete tub about 9 by 12 feet and knee-deep, with ledges inside to sit on. It comfortably holds two to four people. A short boardwalk crosses the creek and runs around the pool, and nearby benches let you cool off between soaks. Temperature varies with the weather, usually somewhere between 105 and 115°F, and soakers control it with a valve on the inflow and a drain plug in the bottom. Clothing is optional by local custom and nudity is common. Because of the rough final road it is usually quieter than the better-known tubs closer to Highway 395, though weekends can bring a wait. Cattle graze the surrounding range. There is no shade, water or toilet, and it is not suited to children.
Live Oak Resort
Live Oak Resort is a private, gated clothing-optional resort on more than 25 acres at 9751 Lone Star Road outside Washington, Texas, in the countryside between Navasota and Brenham, about 35 minutes south of College Station. It has operated for decades (local press covered a change of ownership in 1988, when it was known as Live Oak Ranch), and although directories still list it as a family nudist resort, it is now an adults-only venue with a strong party and social programme. Guests can pitch a tent on sites with electricity, rent an RV site or long-term lot, or stay in a cabin. Facilities include a large pool and oversized hot tub, a dry sauna, a fitness centre, a clubhouse with TVs and a fireplace, a restaurant and snack bar open at weekends, tiled bathhouses, laundry, a general store with propane, and an outdoor pavilion with fire pits. Games include volleyball, pickleball, shuffleboard, darts and table tennis. Weekends bring themed events such as dances, foam parties and midnight volleyball, and the on-site Club Larry nightclub (BYOB) runs Friday and Saturday nights. There is also a couples-only play house. Guests may be nude or clothed anywhere on the grounds, and the resort opens all year.
Liverpool Sun & Air Society
One of the UK's longest-running naturist clubs, on a ten-acre site in Merseyside since 1933. It has a large clubhouse with a guest kitchen, showers and toilets, a spa suite with sauna and hot tub, a heated outdoor pool and a range of sports facilities. A busy social calendar runs through the year, and visitors can stay in self-catering accommodation or camp.
Logis de Nogarède
Naturist guest house in an 1887 stone farmhouse in the Haut-Agenais, on the edge of the Périgord Noir. Three rooms with private shower rooms are offered to couples and families. Guests can relax at the covered outdoor pool and in a wellness corner with sauna, hammam and jacuzzi, walk in the unoverlooked park, and book a home-cooked table d'hôte dinner using local produce.
Lower Poulza Post
A 40-acre farm near Bude in north Cornwall where most of the land can be enjoyed nude, although clothing is required in the farmyard. The level camping area covers about five acres with 16 electric hook-ups and hard-standing places, sheltered by a Cornish hedge. A toilet and shower block, washing-up area and chemical disposal are provided. It is family friendly and open all year.
Lübecker Sport- und Naturistenverein (LSNV)
The naturist sports club of Lübeck, whose ground on the edge of the city is used for nude sunbathing, sport and camping by members and visiting naturists. It is listed among Germany's naturist club grounds in national FKK camping guides. Club-run sites like this often have no staffed reception, so contact the operator before arriving.
Lucy Vincent Beach
Lucy Vincent Beach is a broad south-shore beach in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard, backed by dramatic eroding clay cliffs. Town rules ban nude bathing within the first 1,500 feet of the entrance, and beyond that point nude sunbathing and swimming have long been accepted. That makes this one of the few New England beaches where a town effectively allows nude use. The atmosphere is relaxed and mixed, and couples and older regulars are common. Note that summer access is restricted to residents.
Luftbad Dölzschen
Luftbad Dölzschen is a long-running naturist outdoor bath on a hillside at Dresden's western edge, in the Dölzschen district above the Weißeritz valley, with a view across the city. It opened in 1870 as a pure air bath, a place for sunbathing in the open, and a swimming pool was added later. Today it is run as a traditional FKK bath with a swimmers' pool, sunbathing lawns, a children's playground, table tennis and a kiosk. Its future has been uncertain: the operating permit lapsed after the 2023 season because the pool lacks modern water treatment and could only be chlorinated by hand. A plan to set a new stainless-steel basin inside the old one, add a plant building and make the site barrier-free stalled when federal funding was not available, and local politicians pushed for city money. The bath reopened in its existing form on 30 May 2024, and a bath portal later listed a 2025 season. Check the current status before going.
Lulviksbadet
Lulviksbadet is a sea bathing place on the Gulf of Bothnia about 10 km from central Luleå, near the airport. The site is split into a textile bathing area and a naturist area, separated by a strip of woodland; the naturist part lies to the right as you come down from the car park. It has a large lawn, a sandy beach and a barbecue area with tables and benches. The water is shallow and shelves gently, which makes it suitable for children, and the beach is maintained by the local naturist association NF Nord together with Luleå municipality. Visit Luleå, the city's tourism office, describes Lulviksbadet as spacious and well kept with big lawns and barbecue facilities, and notes that part of the beach is designated for nude bathing. In summer the association sometimes holds barbecue evenings here and runs Saturday information mornings in July. The bathing season this far north is short, but the long daylight of June and July allows late-evening swims.
Lune Saracene – gay & naturist country house
Gay-run naturist guesthouse in the Salento countryside on the hill of Montefurlano above the Ionian coast, hosted by Umberto and Angelo. It is about a kilometre from the Commenda and D'Ayala beaches, which have been used by gay and naturist bathers for decades. The house is surrounded by trees and sunlit gardens, and guests consistently praise the hosts' hospitality. It mainly targets gay men but is listed by the naturist association A.N.ITA.
Lupin Lodge
Lupin Lodge is a clothing-optional resort and naturist club in the Santa Cruz Mountains, about five miles from downtown Los Gatos and 13 miles south of San Jose. It sits a mile off Highway 17 on about 112 acres of oak and redwood trees. The property began as a winery that closed during Prohibition, and it was set up as a naturist retreat in 1935 by early nudist-movement adherents looking for a remote, private setting. The Stout family has run it for decades, and Lori Kay Stout has been the sole owner since her husband died in 2015. Overnight options range from yurts and RV sites to tent camping, and activities include tennis, hiking, swimming and nude hiking. The resort was listed for sale in 2023 at about 32 million dollars and the price was later cut, but a 2026 report says the owner has paused active marketing, so the resort appears to be continuing to operate.
Magnetic Valley Resort
Magnetic Valley Resort is a men-only, clothing-optional resort on the outskirts of Eureka Springs in the Arkansas Ozarks, about a mile from the historic downtown and close to the Christ of the Ozarks statue. It opened in 2008 and welcomes gay, bisexual and straight men alike; press coverage has described it as the only all-male clothing-optional resort in Arkansas. The heart of the place is a heated saltwater pool and hot tub with a landscaped sun deck set against a wooded hillside with a small waterfall, where regulars gather to talk in the water. Lodging ranges from RV sites and hostel beds to suites and a duplex-style unit, and the resort also sells day passes for the pool and hot tub. Nudity is welcome around the pool, but sex is not allowed in public spaces; a 2014 report said sexual activity is confined to a separate area further up the hill. Visitors describe the atmosphere as calm, friendly and low-pressure rather than a party scene. Eureka Springs itself is known as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly small towns in the South, which makes the resort an easy add-on to a town visit.
Magnolias Natura
Adults-only naturist bungalow resort in Maspalomas, in the south of Gran Canaria. One-bedroom bungalows with lounge, kitchenette and shower room surround clothes-free gardens and a pool, with an on-site bar and restaurant and breakfast available. A long-standing favourite of the Spanish naturist federation, it is a short trip from the nude section of the Maspalomas dunes.
Mai Tai Resort
Small, adults-only boutique resort in Balinese style at Julatten, in the hills behind Port Douglas and about an hour from Cairns Airport. It is gated and private, with four rooms and a two-room villa, and takes no more than twelve guests at once. Clothing is optional around the saltwater pool and its sun loungers. Children are not accepted, but well-behaved pets are welcome.
Manawatu Naturist Club (Lake Downs)
Manawatu Naturist Club is a members' naturist club affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Its ground, known as Lake Downs, covers about 7.5 hectares of secluded, flat rural land at 372 Lake Road, Oroua Downs, between Foxton and Palmerston North, just off State Highway 1. The centre of club life is a large purpose-built clubhouse with a catering-size kitchen and lounge, plus an indoor games area with a pool table, darts, table tennis and an indoor bowls floor. Outside there is a swimming pool and hot tub, a separate toddlers' and children's pool, a children's play area, miniten courts, a petanque piste and kubb, with shaded verandahs looking over the pool and lawns. Campers have two toilet blocks with hot showers, a campers' kitchen, a washing machine and a barbecue area. Accommodation is a small bach (cabin) for hire and powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans and campervans; up to two pets per site are allowed, with an off-leash dog area at the back of the ground. The club runs regular social events and welcomes families. Because it is about 1.5 hours from the Wellington ferry terminal, it is a common stopover for naturists travelling to or from the South Island.
Manby Hot Springs
Manby Hot Springs, also called Stagecoach Hot Springs, rise at the edge of the Rio Grande deep in the basalt gorge north-west of Taos, near Arroyo Hondo, inside Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Several primitive, rock-lined pools with sandy bottoms sit just above the river. The main pool, right at the water's edge, is around 98°F, several feet deep and big enough for about six people; a smaller, warmer pool lies by the ruins of the old stagecoach station. Stone foundations of a bathhouse and cabins survive from the late 1800s, when visitors came by stagecoach from the railroad at Taos Junction, and from Arthur Manby's unfinished early-20th-century resort scheme. The pools sit only a few feet above normal river level and are swamped when the Rio Grande runs high, especially during spring snowmelt and summer monsoon storms. Clothing is optional by long custom and many regulars soak nude, though there is no official policy either way. The springs are on BLM land, but the old parking area and approach roads cross private land, and neighbours' complaints about traffic, trash and trespass led to the road access being closed in 2021.
Manchester Male Naturist Swim
A weekly men-only naturist swim every Thursday evening, 7pm to 8:30pm, at Arcadia Library and Leisure Centre on Yew Tree Avenue in Levenshulme, just outside Manchester city centre. It began as a session run by gay men for gay men and is now open to all men over 18 regardless of sexuality. Organisers take payment at a table by the pool viewing window.
Manchester Sun and Air Society (Springfield)
Known to members as Springfield, this club occupies a 17-acre woodland site at Lower Peover near Knutsford. Members have developed individual tent and caravan plots along with a modern pavilion, a heated swimming pool, a bowling green and miniten courts. It is a long-established members' club in the Cheshire countryside.
Manor Farm Naturist Camping
A rustic farm campsite on Totnes Road at Strete, near Dartmouth in the South Hams, with about six acres of level and gently sloping fields and sea views. It has separate naturist and textile camping areas that share a toilet and shower barn near the entrance. Many pitches have hook-ups or water nearby. Slapton Sands and the informal naturist spot at Pilchard Cove are a walk away.
Marshall's Beach
Marshall's Beach is a small, rocky beach on the Presidio's western shoreline in San Francisco, just north of Baker Beach and below the serpentine bluffs, with one of the most dramatic close-up views of the Golden Gate Bridge anywhere. It is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the National Park Service itself describes it as a clothing-optional beach. The shore is coarse sand scattered with boulders and landslide debris from the unstable bluffs, with Helmet Rock offshore. The north end, past boulders that may need scrambling over at anything but low tide, is the more secluded and is where most nude sunbathers settle. It has a long history as a gay nude beach, sometimes nicknamed 'bad boy beach', and today draws a mixed but mostly adult crowd plus photographers. It is quieter than Baker Beach. The water is cold with strong currents and is not for swimming. Temperatures are often in the 50s or 60s °F with wind and fog, so bring layers. There are no facilities.
Maryland Health Society
The Maryland Health Society, known to members as MaHeSo, is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit nudist park in Davidsonville, in the rural southwest of Anne Arundel County between Annapolis and Washington, D.C. Its own listings give a founding date of 1934, which makes it one of the older naturist clubs on the East Coast, and describe about 96 acres of woodland beside the Patuxent River. Members own some 25 cabins on the grounds, and RV and rustic tent sites can be rented by non-members. Facilities mentioned in listings include a swimming pool and a children's play area. The club is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation, and it is one of only two landed nudist clubs in Maryland. It keeps a low public profile, with little web presence beyond social media, and holds summer events such as a skinny-dip day and a nude bull roast, both listed for July 2025. In 2013 a former cabin resident sued the club alleging it had become a swingers' venue; the club denied the claims and the court dismissed her case. Visitors should expect a traditional, member-governed club rather than a commercial resort.
Maslin Beach
Maslin Beach (locally 'Maslins') is a roughly 3 km sweep of sand on Gulf St Vincent, about 40 km south of Adelaide's city centre in the City of Onkaparinga. It runs from the Maslin Beach township in the north to Blanche Point in the south and is backed by tall eroded cliffs banded in ochre, white and red sands, one of the most photographed coastlines near Adelaide. In February 1975 the southern part of the beach was declared Australia's first legal nude beach, after years of people bathing nude there at the risk of prosecution. The nude section is the southern end, roughly the last 1.5 km toward Blanche Point; the northern end near the township is clothed. The beach is unpatrolled and can be windy. Each January the beach hosts the long-running Maslin Beach Nude Games (now the Pilwarren Maslin Beach Nude Games), with informal races and novelty contests.
Mauren
Mauren is an official naturist beach on Ellingsøya, the island just north-east of Ålesund across the Ellingsøyfjorden. It lies on the island's shore facing the fjord, a short way east of the bridge over Taftsundet. It is part of a larger public outdoor recreation area. The beach is smooth, sloping rock rather than sand. Norsk Naturistforbund says these rocks make it well suited to small children. Facilities are good for a Norwegian nude beach, with drinking water, toilets and a rubbish bin on site. The rocks are reached through a small strip of woodland, only about 100 m from the roadside car park, and a bus stop is about 150 m away.
Mayenne Nature
Naturist ground in a 3.5-hectare clearing at Soulgé-sur-Ouette, used since the 1960s and open from mid-June to mid-September. Spacious shaded pitches, caravans and chalets are available, with spotless sanitary facilities, a pool, walks, volleyball, pétanque, children's games, card and bingo evenings and fishing. Laval's castle, the Saulges caves and medieval Sainte-Suzanne are nearby.
McCredie Hot Springs
McCredie Hot Springs is a set of shallow, natural soaking pools on both banks of Salt Creek, a tributary of the Willamette, in the Willamette National Forest about 10 miles east of Oakridge and 50 miles southeast of Eugene, at around 2,000 feet. Between 1914 and 1958 the site was a small resort, but nothing of that remains: today there are two to four rock-ringed pools in silt and gravel, their number depending on the season and creek level. The source emerges at close to 130°F, and soakers mix in cold creek water by moving rocks, so pools run from about 98°F to 114°F; they range from a few feet to about 35 feet across and are at most about 2 feet deep, with silty, cloudy water. The pools near the day-use parking area are usually the least appealing; the better and quieter ones are on the south bank across the creek. The setting is mossy forest, though the highway is close enough to hear. Clothing is optional, and many soakers go nude, while children do visit. Being so close to the road, it is one of Oregon's busiest springs on weekends and holidays. It is day use only, with no overnight camping.
Meadowlark Country House
Meadowlark Country House is a small, privately owned adults-only inn on a 20-acre wooded estate on Petrified Forest Road, a few minutes northwest of Calistoga at the top of the Napa Valley. It is a boutique bed-and-breakfast rather than a naturist resort: there are eight suites and two separate guesthouses, many with fireplaces, whirlpool tubs for two and private decks or terraces looking over the grounds, and a full breakfast is included. What sets it apart in wine country is its clothing-optional pool area. The solar-heated lap pool is filled with local mineral water and is open around the clock, with sunny and shaded terraces, and beside it are a mineral-water hot tub big enough for about ten people, a dry Finnish sauna and a private massage room. Nudity is optional in the pool area only; the rest of the property, including the house and breakfast room, is clothed. Screening around the pool and a ban on cameras protect guests' privacy, and nobody is pressured either way. The inn is a common base for winery visits and Calistoga's mud baths and spas, and draws a mixed clientele, including many couples and LGBTQ travellers.
Mid-Anglia Naturist Swimming Club
A naturist swim and sauna club holding regular Saturday sessions from 4:30pm at Bury St Edmunds Leisure Centre on Beetons Way. Sessions cost about GBP 10, or a little more for guests, and annual membership is cheap. The club also runs social days, including visits to Cambridge Outdoor Club. Members and non-members are welcome but should contact the club first.
Mini naturistencamping Nieuw Moscou
Small campsite at Hollandscheveld in Drenthe that runs a family campsite alongside separate camping facilities for naturists. Bring your own tent or caravan, or stay in the group accommodation. The Drenthe countryside around Hoogeveen offers plenty of walking, cycling and other day trips, making it a low-key option for naturists who want a simple stay away from the busier club terrains.
Mira Vista Resort
Mira Vista Resort is a commercial clothing-optional resort on about 30 acres of Sonoran Desert on the northwest side of Tucson, near Marana, with views across saguaros and mature trees toward the surrounding mountains. The property has a long history: its oldest buildings are said to date from the 1850s, it later served as a dude ranch, and in the early 2000s it ran as Coyote Moon, a guest ranch for gay, lesbian and transgender visitors, before reopening as a clothing-optional resort in May 2006. Accommodation is in about 14 suites and rooms in adobe-style buildings, plus condos for rent and RV sites. Listings describe a full-service restaurant and lounge, two large pools and a conversation pool, a spa, pickleball courts, a fitness centre and massage. The resort is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation, and AANR promoted it in 2025 as one of Arizona's two standout clothing-optional resorts. Guests can be nude across the grounds but are not required to be. Like most southern Arizona resorts, it is busiest in the mild months from autumn to spring, when many winter visitors stay for weeks; summer days are very hot.
Mlaska Beach (Mala Mlaska)
Mlaska is a bay on the north coast of Hvar, about 4 km west of Sućuraj at the island's far eastern tip, facing the mainland across the Hvar channel. The Split-Dalmatia County tourist board describes a sand and pebble beach with rocky and concrete sunbathing areas and natural shade from pines, part of which is set aside for naturists. The naturist part is the section known as Mala Mlaska. The bay was long served by Kamp Mlaska, a campsite run half as textile and half as FKK, with its own nudist stretch of beach and a restaurant. A Slovenian camping guide reported that the campsite closed on 25 July 2025 because it lacked an official category, and we found no news of a reopening, so the restaurant and other services may not be running. The water is shallow near shore, which suits children.
Monster Beach
Monster's nude beach is in the municipality of Westland, South Holland, on the North Sea coast between Ter Heijde and The Hague's Kijkduin. Nude recreation is allowed from beach pole 108.5 north to the municipal boundary with The Hague, where it continues seamlessly as the Kijkduin nude beach. The original Monster nude beach, between the Schelppad beach entrance and the Watertoren, disappeared in 2011 when the Zandmotor was built, a giant hook-shaped sand nourishment project; the naturist federation NFN negotiated to keep nude recreation on its northernmost part. The result is an unusual, very wide and still-changing beach with a lagoon that dries out at low tide and shifting currents, so take care when swimming. People sit either against the dunes or about 500 m further out toward the waterline. Walkers and kitesurfers pass through, but it stays quiet. The dunes behind, Solleveld and Kapittelduinen, are protected Natura 2000 land. There are no facilities on the nude beach; pavilions are at the Molenslag entrance in Monster and at beach access 1 on the Hague side. Some visitors say the start of the nude section is not clearly marked.
Monte Marina Naturist Resort
Family-run, adults-only naturist resort above Esquinzo Bay on the Jandía peninsula of Fuerteventura. Forty-five studio apartments, some with sea views, sit in palm gardens around a saltwater pool with an adjoining sauna. Massage and physiotherapy, diving courses and excursions are offered through partners, and the resort has a loyal German-speaking clientele.
Montecito Hot Springs
Montecito Hot Springs is a cluster of small, informal soaking pools in Hot Springs Canyon in the Santa Ynez foothills directly above Montecito, east of Santa Barbara. The Chumash used the springs long before a hotel was built beside them in the 1870s; that hotel later became a private club and burned in the 1964 Coyote fire, and only ruins and old pipes remain. The land was added to Los Padres National Forest in 2013. The pools are not an official facility: hikers have stacked rocks to dam the spring water into a series of basins that step down the canyon, hottest at the top and cooler below, with a sulphur smell and a bluish tint. Most are shallow, around two feet deep, with temperatures from warm to about body heat, and their number and quality shift after storms. A hand-lettered clothing-optional sign marks the area, and nude or partly nude soaking is common, especially in the upper pools, though plenty of people wear suits. It is a popular spot, and a dozen or more people can share the upper pools at busy times. There are no toilets or bins at the springs, and the steep canyon gets hot in summer.
Morecambe Bay Naturist Club (Silverglades)
The club's site, Silverglades, covers ten acres of sun lawns, private glades and woodland on a south-facing hillside within the Arnside and Silverdale AONB. It is deliberately back to basics and self-sufficient, suited to day visits and simple camping. It is about five miles from M6 junction 35 and a ten-minute walk from Silverdale station. Singles, couples and families are welcome, and there is no waiting list.
Morfa Dyffryn Beach
Morfa Dyffryn is a National Nature Reserve on the Cardigan Bay coast of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, between Barmouth and Harlech in Gwynedd. Behind the beach lies one of the most important active sand-dune systems in Wales and the UK, managed by Natural Resources Wales. The beach itself is a sweep of fine golden sand about six miles long facing Barmouth Bay, with clear water. Part of the reserve is a designated naturist beach, signed on site by Natural Resources Wales; according to British Naturism the naturist section runs for about 1 km in the northern quarter of the beach, with large blue signs at its limits. Reaching it means a walk of about a mile north over soft sand from the main access point. British Naturism rates it among the best naturist beaches in the UK and says up to 500 naturists may turn up on a sunny summer Sunday, including singles, couples and families, with room for everyone. There are no facilities on the beach. Naturist sunbathing in the dunes is not allowed, and the reserve asks that dogs be kept on leads from March to July, when ringed plovers nest on the beach.
Moritz- und Grillensee
The Grillensee and the Moritzsee are two of the three Naunhof lakes, flooded former gravel and sand pits in the Naunhof Forest between Naunhof and Brandis, about 20 km east of Leipzig. The Grillensee, also called Naunhofer See, is groundwater-fed and covers about 57 hectares with a 3.2 km shore and depths to 25 m. The Moritzsee, also known as the Ammelshainer See, lies a little further north-east at about 53 hectares, 3 km of shore and up to 29 m deep. Together with the smaller Albrechtshainer See they are described by the Leipzig regional tourism board as traditional naturist locations, and naturist bathing is listed among their attractions. Both lakes have large sunbathing lawns set among pine and mixed woodland, clear deep water popular with divers and anglers, and separate FKK areas; listings mention a gravel-and-sand beach and a kiosk at the Moritzsee. The setting is quiet and wooded, with a dog beach in the lake area and the Outer Green Ring cycle route passing nearby.
MOTOL
The Motol natural swimming pond (Přírodní koupaliště Motol) sits in Prague 5, a few metres from Motol hospital, hidden behind trees, shrubs and reeds off Zahradníčkova street. The pond covers about 4,100 m² and has flowing water. Prague's hygiene service checks the water regularly, and it is consistently rated among the cleanest bathing waters in the city. The lake bed is sandy and drops gently toward the dam, where the water is about 3 m deep. The bathing area is a fairly narrow grassy strip, roughly 20 by 60 m, shaded by mature trees. The right-hand part of the grassy beach is set aside for nudists. The rest of the lawn is a family swimming area with a children's corner, trampoline, slide and sandpit, so clothed and nude visitors share the site with a clear split. There is a lifeguard, and table tennis and volleyball are available. A new year-round building with saunas, changing rooms, toilets, a café and a wellness area was under construction in 2026, and mobile facilities were used in the meantime. Whether the nudist section continues once the building opens has not been announced.
Moulin de Chez Joyeux
Moulin de Chez Joyeux is a naturist bed and breakfast on about 13 acres at Thiat, in the commune of Val-d'Oire-et-Gartempe in Haute-Vienne. The estate sits on both sides of the La Brame river, with private beaches and islands, about 1.5 km from the village at the end of a country road. Accommodation is in apartments with private terraces and kitchenettes, and one listing describes eight guests in four bedrooms. Guests have a pool, a sauna, a hot tub and communal dinners, and the grounds include table tennis, badminton and fishing spots for trout and carp. Rates in one listing run from about 104 to 129 euros for two people with breakfast. The estate is adults-only and clothing-optional. From June to September it is reserved for adult naturists and pets are not allowed; outside those months it is open to non-naturists. Nudity is optional in the outdoor and pool areas.
Moulin de Lassier
Naturist guest rooms in a mill in Haute-Vienne, at the gates of the Dordogne. Four cosy rooms with beams and solid furniture are offered, three with private bathrooms. Guests use a pool, lounge with free Wi-Fi and free tea and coffee, and terraces over a flowering garden. Generous breakfasts and a table d'hôte using the mill's own vegetable garden and orchard are served.
Mountain Air Ranch
Mountain Air Ranch is a family nudist resort in the foothills southwest of Denver, at 9006 South Mica Mine Gulch Road in Littleton, Colorado. It was founded in 1935 by John and Alice Garrison as the Colorado Sunshine Club, on 160 acres of unimproved land, and now covers about 150 acres. The AANR page calls it an AANR-sanctioned resort, and Westword describes it as Colorado's only family nudist resort. Facilities reported in listings include a pool, a hot tub and sauna, paddle tennis, bocce, about ten miles of hiking trails, and lodging, tent sites and rental RV spots. Wellness activities such as yoga and body painting are also mentioned. The resort is open year-round and welcomes people of all ages, including children. For the July 2025 90th-anniversary weekend, the price was 150 dollars plus daily ground fees of 35 dollars per adult. In 2025 the resort was evacuated during the Quarry Fire and later hosted a clothing-optional firefighter fundraiser.
Mountaindale Sun Resort
Mountaindale Sun Resort is a member-owned, family-oriented nudist club on 104 acres of forest along Dairy Creek Road in the hills northwest of North Plains, in Washington County, about 40 miles west of downtown Portland. Despite the 'resort' name it is a private club: the land is held collectively by the members together with the American Association for Nude Recreation, its parent body, and it has operated for more than half a century. The grounds are wooded and secluded, with hiking trails through the forest and a flower garden. Facilities include a solar-heated outdoor pool, an indoor spa with hot tub, a sauna and a clubhouse, plus pickleball, a disc golf course, horseshoes, shuffleboard and a children's playground, with games such as pool and foosball indoors. Accommodation is mainly camping and RV sites, with some overnight options for visitors. The community describes itself as clothing optional, and it organises social events every month through the year, with more in summer. Members have round-the-clock access; families with children are a regular part of the community, especially during school holidays. The indoor spa makes it usable year-round despite Oregon's wet winters.
Naaktstrand Bergen
The Bergen nude beach lies between Bergen aan Zee and Schoorl aan Zee in the municipality of Bergen, North Holland, in front of the Schoorlse Duinen, one of the widest dune areas on the Dutch coast, managed by Staatsbosbeheer. It is an official nude beach designated by the municipality between beach poles 29.5 and 31.5. Bergen colour-codes its beach poles, and the naturist zone is marked by pink poles (orange marks activity beaches and yellow sunbathing beaches). In practice nude use starts around pole 32, just north of the Noorderlicht beach pavilion, about 500 m before the official zone, and NFN says it has agreed with the municipality that people there are generally left alone when no beach events are on. It is a wide, clean sand beach with good swimming and fine dune walking behind. Visitors describe a calm, respectful atmosphere, while some note many clothed walkers near the pavilions. There are no facilities on the nude stretch; pavilions Noorderlicht on the Bergen side and Paal 29 on the Schoorl side are the nearest.
Naaktstrand Brouwersdam
The Brouwersdam nude beach is on the south-west tip of Goeree-Overflakkee in South Holland, on the North Sea coast at Ouddorp, toward the Brouwersdam that closes off Lake Grevelingen. It occupies the stretch between beach poles 18.00 and 18.75, about 300 m north of beach access 12, 't Gorsje. In July 2025 the municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee formally designated it as a naturist beach in its local bylaw (APV); the same decision bans nude recreation elsewhere in the municipality, which the naturist federation NFN objected to in 2023 and 2025. Signs were announced. The beach is wide sand, with calm, clean water and plenty of shells, so water shoes help; seaweed sometimes piles up at the tideline. It is quiet and only a short walk from the access point, and visitors find sheltered spots near the dunes. Textile walkers pass along the waterline and some find the nude section small. There are no facilities on the nude stretch; toilets and showers are at the beach access. Beachclub 't Gorsje burned down in August 2024 and was being rebuilt in 2025.
Naaktstrand Callantsoog
Callantsoog's nude beach is the oldest official nude beach in the Netherlands. People had been sunbathing nude behind the Zwanenwater dunes since the mid-1950s, and on 27 April 1973 the Callantsoog council voted five to two to allow it, after two people had volunteered to be fined in 1971 for a test case. The original section was 370 m; it now covers about 2.3 km of North Sea beach between beach poles 14.5 and 16.8, south of the village and in front of the Zwanenwater nature reserve, in the municipality of Schagen. Signs mark the zone, and in practice nude sunbathing extends a little beyond both ends, towards pole 14.1 and from the Sint Maartenszee side near pole 17.25. It is a wide sand beach with a sloping sea floor. Stone groynes run out every 200 m and are hidden at high tide, which makes swimming near them dangerous. There is no lifeguard on the nude section; the nearest post is at pole 13, and Sint Maartenszee's lifeguards cover the beach about 1 km south. Since 2017 the beach has been an off-leash area for dogs. The Zilte Zucht pavilion has moved north, outside the nude zone, and is clothed only.
Naaktstrand Kijkduin
The Kijkduin nude beach is The Hague's southern naturist beach, on the North Sea shore south of the Kijkduin resort and directly in front of the Zandmotor, the huge hook-shaped artificial sand peninsula built in 2011. The municipality permits nude recreation from beach pole 108 southward toward Monster, reached from the Kijkduin strandslag 1 access; naaktstrandje.nl describes the marked section as about 385 m of sand around pole 108, with signs at its edges. To the south it runs straight into the Monster nude beach in neighbouring Westland, which was moved here when the Zandmotor was built. Since then a lagoon in front of the beach falls almost dry at low tide, so there is no direct swimming, and nude sunbathers also spread out onto the Zandmotor itself. The area is a designated kite zone, and on windy days it fills with kitesurfers, which makes the lagoon dangerous for swimmers. The fenced dunes behind the beach are off limits. Dogs are allowed. The BLOW Beach House pavilion and kite school is just beyond the northern boundary.
Naaktstrand Maasvlakte
The Maasvlakte nude beach is on the North Sea side of the Maasvlakte, the land reclaimed for the Port of Rotterdam at the far western tip of South Holland. Container terminals and wind turbines are part of the view. Since the beach reopened in 2012 there has been a signed nude zone between the clothed bathing beach and the sports beach further north. It started at 2,500 m and was cut to 500 m. In 2023 it was extended by 500 m northward, so it now runs about 1 km. It begins at the stairs from car park P1, where you turn right (north). The beach is wide and sandy, backed by dunes where the sand is soft, and the seabed shelves gently. The water is an official bathing-water site (Tweede Maasvlakte) with summer quality checks. Visitors are a mix of couples, families and single people. Since 2024 the rooftop terrace of the Portlantis harbour experience centre has overlooked the area, and the federation has raised the possibility that the nude section may have to move. Bring your own food and drink: on the beach there is only a snack container at a car park and a kiosk a few hundred metres away.
Naaktstrand Neeltje Jans
Neeltje Jans is the former construction island in the middle of the Oosterschelde storm-surge barrier, between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in Zeeland. It is now a nature reserve within Oosterschelde National Park and is also home to the Deltapark Neeltje Jans attraction. The beach on the North Sea side is about 2 km long. Its middle part is a signed nude zone, which begins at beach access 84 (De Slufter) and runs south toward access 83 (Roompotsluis). It was enlarged in 2026, so from the southern car park you now step almost straight onto the nude section. The sand is wide, but at high tide the beach becomes much narrower. Behind it is a slufter, a tidal inlet that floods the land behind the dunes at spring tides. The dunes are a protected nature area and closed to visitors. The middle of the beach is often almost empty. The southern tip, where kitesurfers launch, gets busier on windy days and when lessons are running. There are no facilities in the nude zone itself. The nearest beach pavilion, Atlantis, is about a kilometre north. In season an ice-cream cart passes along the beach.
Naaktstrand Nieuw Haamstede
This nude beach is on the western tip of Schouwen-Duiveland in Zeeland, the Kop van Schouwen. It lies between the holiday village of Nieuw-Haamstede and Westenschouwen, inside a Natura 2000 dune reserve. The signed nude section runs from about beach pole 12.5 to pole 14.8, a stretch of roughly 2 to 2.3 km. It starts at the beach crossing 't Oude Vuur and runs south. In 2018 it was extended about 800 m southward. That extension was compensation for the 'Smart use of sand' pilot, which let the dunes here drift naturally and created blowouts in the foredunes. The beach is long but not always wide. At low tide it becomes very broad. The southern part, by the dunes, is quiet and good for birdwatching. There are no facilities on the nude section and no lifeguard. The nearest pavilion, De Strandloper, is just over a kilometre north. An ice-cream vendor sometimes passes. Warning signs mention currents and a sandbar, so take care when swimming. It is generally a calm, uncrowded beach, a little busier at weekends near the dune crossing because a walking route follows the beach.
Naaktstrand Noordwijk, Duindamseslag
Duindamseslag is the southern of Noordwijk's two nude beaches on the South Holland coast, north of the town (the other is Langevelderslag, further north). The nude section lies between kilometre poles 78 and 79.5. It starts about 500 m south of the De Zeespiegel beach pavilion at the Duindamseslag beach access. The poles stand back in the dunes, which makes them hard to see from the sand. Signs mark the nude zone on the beach itself. The beach is a wide North Sea sand beach backed by the Hollands Duin dune and woodland area. Young dunes near the waterline give some shelter. It is one of the quieter nude beaches in the region and at times has hardly any naturists on it. Clothed walkers, dog walkers and joggers pass along the waterline, and horse riders appear in the evenings. There are no facilities on the nude stretch and no lifeguard. The nearest food, drink and toilets are at De Zeespiegel, about a kilometre away.
Naaktstrand Noordwijk, Langevelderslag
Langevelderslag is the northern of Noordwijk's two designated nude beaches on the South Holland coast, between Noordwijk and the Zandvoort municipal border; the other, Duindamseslag, lies further south. The official nude zone runs between beach poles 73 and 74 and is signed both on the sand and at beach access 28. Until 2008 the zone was longer, and in practice nude bathers still use the stretch north toward pole 71.5 at the Zandvoort boundary, giving roughly a kilometre of nude beach. Beyond that lies the Noordvoort beach reserve and then, after a short clothed stretch, Zandvoort's own nude beach. The beach is wide North Sea sand with a gently sloping bottom, backed by the dunes of the Hollands Duin nature area, and it is one of the quieter stretches on this coast. There are no facilities or lifeguards on the nude section; food, drink, a beach club and the nearest lifeguard post are at the Langevelderslag beach entrance. Expect clothed walkers and dog walkers along the waterline.
Naaktstrand(je) Brielse Meer
The Brielse Meer nude beach is a designated naturist area on the north shore of the Brielse Meer (also called Brielse Maas), a former arm of the Maas closed off in 1950 that is now a long recreation lake north of Brielle in South Holland. The site, on the Zoom Oost section off the Visserijweg near Zwartewaal, covers about 1.5 hectares: a large lawn with scattered trees for shade, two small sandy beaches for getting into the water, a volleyball court and a table tennis table. The water is shallow (about 1.5 m) with a gently sloping bottom, and a buoy line marks the swimming area; nude swimming is only allowed inside it, as boats pass close by. Regular visitors set up a volunteer foundation, SONBM, which helps maintain the site and occasionally asks for donations, and in 2011 they successfully fought cuts to mowing. There is a toilet building with a tap, but no food or drink, so bring your own.

Nacktbadebereich 3: Isarinsel Oberföhring
Isarinsel Oberföhring is one of six nude-bathing zones that the City of Munich designates along the Isar and in the Englischer Garten under its bathing-clothing ordinance (Badekleidungsverordnung). It lies in the north-east of the city on the east bank of the river, on the long island between the Isar and the side channel at Oberföhring. The city describes the zone as running from Mittlere-Isar-Straße, up to a point about 100 metres short of the footbridge across to the Englischer Garten, and north as far as the city boundary; the exact limits are drawn on maps attached to the ordinance, and signs on site mark the area. Opposite, on the west bank, is the Schwabinger Bucht zone in the northern Englischer Garten, which is also designated. The setting is the semi-natural Isar floodplain, with gravel banks, meadows and riverside woodland rather than a built beach. The Isar is cold, fast and changes level after rain or releases from upstream weirs, and the city stresses that nude-bathing permission does not override any bathing ban or safety rule on the river. Outside the mapped zone swimwear is required.

Other facilities include a sauna, clubhouse with terrace and kiosk, volleyball, pétanque, archery and table tennis, a play tower and paddling pool for children, barbecue areas and a simple sleeping hut. Nudity is expected on the grounds, and the club code bans smoking, sexual innuendo and public displays of affection; it stresses a family atmosphere for men, women and children.

The club holds occasional open days for the curious, such as one in July 2025.

The Pointe d'Arçay is the long sand spit at the southern tip of La Faute-sur-Mer in southern Vendée, with views across the water to Île de Ré. The French naturist federation's list, published on France.fr, gives a 3 km naturist stretch here running toward the bird reserve that occupies the end of the spit; beach guides describe it as the largest naturist beach in Vendée, beginning beyond the Plage des Barriques. The beach is undeveloped sand with some pebbles, reached through the forest, with no lifeguards, cafés or toilets. The protected area at the tip is closed to the public, so stay on the beach side of any signs. With a long tidal zone and the length of the stretch, it is easy to find space; guides call it almost deserted even in high season, making it one of the quietest naturist beaches on the Vendée coast.
Naturist Camp Sončni gaj (Terme Banovci)
The FKK naturist campsite at Terme Banovci is the naturist section of a thermal spa resort near Veržej in the Prlekija area of north-eastern Slovenia, in the Mura river plain.

Naturist Legacy Park
Naturist Legacy Park is a member-owned, non-profit naturist park about 35 minutes' drive north of Winnipeg, governed by an elected board of directors. It was created by members of what the club calls Manitoba's oldest landed naturist club, which lost its home of 40 years in early 2010 when the owners of the campground it used decided to turn it textile. The members bought their own land, about 80 acres of mixed pine, spruce, birch and poplar forest broken up by large meadows, built the facilities themselves and had the park fully operating by 2012, with a grand opening that July; the club says the land is fully paid for. Facilities include a 33-foot heated pool, a clubhouse, sand volleyball, bocce and horseshoes, outdoor showers, hiking trails, and tent and RV camping. The club aims to keep the land's natural character through low-impact development and quiet recreation, and describes the park as family friendly and welcoming to all regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, relationship status, religion, ability or appearance. It is a summer venue, as Manitoba winters rule out outdoor use for much of the year.

It is a members' terrain for day recreation only; there is no camping or overnight stay. The island is uninhabited and has no phone line. Facilities reported in 2025 are a changing room, a fully equipped kitchen, a barbecue, a natural swimming pool, a playground, a table-tennis table, a trampoline, kayaks and a jeu-de-boules pitch. It is open from April to October, from sunrise to sunset, and is usually quiet on weekdays. The membership has fallen from around 400 in the 1980s and 1990s to about 200, with an average age above sixty, and in 2025 the chairman said the club was keen to attract younger families. Nude photography is not allowed. Newcomers are allowed to keep swimwear on during their first visits while they get used to it.
Naturistenterrein Gravingen (Zon en Leven)
Quiet Zon en Leven terrain at Maarssen, north of Utrecht, offering beauty, rest and silence. A wood-fired sauna is heated every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and its rest room looks out over a sunbathing meadow with natural swimming water. The building Zoddestein serves as the meeting place. Mainly for day recreation, with a few tent spots.
Naturistenvereniging Balderhaar
A naturist association ground at Wielen in the Grafschaft Bentheim, right by the Dutch border, listed in German naturist camping guides among the club sites of Lower Saxony. It offers camping in a quiet rural setting for members and naturist guests. Club-run sites like this often have no staffed reception, so contact the operator before arriving.
Naturistenvereniging De Krösenberg
A Dutch naturist association's grounds in the Grafschaft Bentheim at Getelo, bordering the North-East Twente national landscape with its hilly ice-age moraines, ideal for cycling and walking. It is a club ground rather than a commercial campsite: there is no reception, but a guest service welcomes visitors and shows them around. Guests can relax, help out or work in the vegetable garden.
Naturistenweg Undeloh
An official nude walking route in the Lüneburg Heath about 50 km south of Hamburg, permitted since 2012. The roughly 10 km circuit runs through woodland in a nature reserve; it was shortened from 16 km after walkers strayed off the path. Only the start is signed, because of nature protection rules, and there is a rest area along the way. Hikers may go nude or clothed.
Naturistisch vakantiehuis Naturust
Newly renovated holiday cottage for two at Sint Maartensvlotbrug in Noord-Holland, aimed at naturists who love peace and quiet. It is fully furnished with wifi and has a sheltered, sunny garden among the trees. The North Sea is about three kilometres away, and bikes can be hired.
Naturistisch zwemmen Zwembad De Houtvaart
The Houtvaart in Haarlem is an open-air pool from 1927 and a national monument. In summer, members of the Vrienden van de Houtvaart association swim nude every Saturday morning from 07:00 to 10:00, roughly from late May to mid-September, with coffee and tea on hand.
Naturistische accommodatie Altijd Zomer
Naturist holiday flat on the edge of Dreischor on Schouwen-Duiveland in Zeeland, with its own entrance, a living room opening onto a private terrace and a full kitchen. It is gay-friendly and suits beginners, and NFN members get a discount. A business partner of NFN Open & Bloot.
Naturwanderweg am Rätzsee
A three-kilometre circular nude walking trail in the Mecklenburg Lake District, officially opened in September 2025 as the first of its kind in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It starts by the entrance of the FKK campsite at the Rätzsee near Drosedow, where a large information board stands, and runs away from villages and busy paths. It was created by the campsite with the municipality, Amt Kleinseenplatte and the Mirow forestry office.
Natuur Puur
Natuur Puur is a naturist association in Herselt, in the Kempen area of Antwerp province, and a member of the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It offers members and visiting naturists a place to spend time nude in a green, rural setting. Details of its grounds and opening times are published on the club's own website, and visits are arranged with the club in advance, as is usual for Belgian naturist associations. An FBN or INF membership card is generally expected.
Nelson Naturist Park
Nelson Naturist Park, long known as the Nelson Sun Club, is a members' naturist club on a 2.8-hectare rural property at the end of Sunrise Valley Road in Upper Moutere, in the Moutere hills west of Nelson. It is affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation and INF, has about 75 members, and some of them live on the grounds year-round while others come mainly in summer. The club stresses that it is a naturist park rather than a clothing-optional one, that it aims to be family friendly, and that overt sexual behaviour is not tolerated. The clubhouse is a century-old bungalow with a large kitchen, a games lounge, a living room with a wood burner and four bedrooms let to visitors. Outside there is a solar-heated swimming pool and spa, a sunbathing lawn, a barbecue area with an outdoor table for about 30 people, a children's playground and a nine-hole chip-and-putt golf course with loan clubs. Showers, laundry and cooking facilities serve campers on the powered sites. Glowworms can sometimes be seen along the driveway at night, and the Moutere area's vineyards, potteries and craft studios are close by.
Neusonnlandbund Berlin 1920 - naturist swim training
The family sports club Neusonnlandbund, founded in 1920, holds naturist swimming training in the old hall of the Stadtbad Charlottenburg on Krumme Straße. The club emphasises sport for the whole family including children, and also uses other naturist clubs' grounds for athletics, ball games and bowling. Sessions are organised by volunteers and dates can change, so check the club website before going.
Neustädter See FKK-Strand
The Neustädter See is an 82-hectare former gravel pit in the north of Magdeburg, ringed by the high-rise housing estates of Neustadt and run by the city as the Naherholungszentrum Neustädter See. The supervised bathing shore is about a kilometre long and is split into three sections: a textile beach, a children's beach and a separate FKK beach. On the city's bathing-water map the FKK section lies at the far end of the bathing shore, beyond the children's beach, so nude bathers are set apart from the main family area. Locals describe it as Magdeburg's only approved and supervised nude beach. The beach is a mix of sand and lawn for lying out, and the lake is groundwater-fed, up to 8.4 m deep, with reed and tree belts along most of the rest of the shoreline. A water-ski and wakeboard cable with a grandstand runs on the lake. The site is fenced and ticketed, open daily in summer, with toilets, a kiosk, beach volleyball and a playground shared across the complex. Water quality has been the recurring problem: bacteria closed the lake in 2022, blue-green algae warnings have affected all three beach sections in several summers (most recently 2026), and regulars complained in 2025 about bird droppings and litter on the FKK lawn.
Next Generation Naturists
a non-landed organization focused on the young adult (18- to 35-year-old) demographic
Nida Nudist Beach
Nida's naturist beach is on the Baltic side of the Curonian Spit, the narrow sand spit shared by Lithuania and Russia and protected as Curonian Spit National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies on the open-sea coast west of Nida, the spit's southernmost Lithuanian resort, and was officially opened as a naturist beach in 2008. The setting is the draw: a wide white-sand beach backed by pine forest and some of the highest drifting dunes in Europe, with clean, cool Baltic water and Blue Flag status for the Nida beaches. CNN has repeatedly ranked it among the world's best nude beaches, most recently in 2025 when Neringa Municipality publicised a second place, which has made it one of the best-known nude beaches on the Baltic. Neringa beaches have changing cabins and seasonal lifeguards. The municipality notes that naturists also use beaches near Preila, Pervalka and Juodkrantė further north on the spit, which are quieter.
Nomading Camp Alicante
Small glamping site among the vineyards of Las Virtudes near Villena, inland Alicante, listed by camping guides as naturist. Instead of pitches it rents transparent bubble pods and other units with double beds, air conditioning, heating and telescopes for stargazing, with the Sierra de Salinas a short drive away. Only rental accommodation is available.
Nord-Strand (auch FKK)
The Nordstrand is the north-facing beach of the Düne, the low sandy island about a kilometre east of Helgoland's red-cliffed main island in the North Sea. The Düne is roughly a kilometre long and 700 m wide and is almost all beach: around 130,000 square metres of fine sand split between the sheltered Südstrand, which the island markets to families, and the more exposed Nordstrand. On the Nordstrand the surf is noticeably stronger, and the island's own tourism office says it is left to each visitor how much they undress, describing the Düne as a place for textile, FKK and mixed bathing alike. In practice that makes the north beach the island's clothing-optional beach rather than a fenced nude zone. What sets it apart is the wildlife: harbour and grey seals haul out on the sand here, and while visitors are asked to keep around 30 m away, curious seals also swim into the bathing area. The Düne has a DLRG lifeguard station, beach-chair hire, two restaurants, a small supermarket, bungalows, a campsite and bookable overnight beach chairs. Dogs are not allowed on the Düne.
North West Naturists (Worsley Pool)
A naturist swim at the Worsley Pool Complex in Walkden, usually on the last Saturday of the month from 4:30pm to 7pm. Two pools, a sauna and a steam room are available, and refreshments are sold in reception. Massage is offered at extra cost. It is open to BN members and genuine naturists, with no club membership needed: pay at the door.
Northampton Sun Group
A monthly naturist swim at The Mounts Baths, a historic pool in Northampton, usually on the second Sunday from 5:30pm to 8pm, with no sessions in July or August. Facilities include two pools, hot rooms, a sauna, a steam room and a lounge for tea and socialising. New swimmers are welcome and should bring photo ID and proof of address, or a BN card.
Northaven Resort
Northaven Resort is a privately run, clothing-optional RV resort in the Irish Hills of southern Michigan, near the village of Brooklyn in Jackson County. It markets itself to adult couples: everyone on site must be 21 or older, and the resort describes itself as a couples resort rather than a family nudist park. The grounds cover close to 50 acres of rolling land with ponds and paved paths. Stays are on rental lots, in tent sites or in rental units, and some lots and properties are offered for sale to longer-term residents. Facilities include a swimming pool, a fitness room, shower and restroom buildings, a general store, pickleball and volleyball courts, a gazebo, fire pits and golf-cart hire. The social centre is the Hotel California Lounge, a 3,400 sq ft hall with a bar, dance floor and games. Clothing is optional across the resort. The season runs roughly from late April to late September, and the calendar is built around themed weekends, bonfires and dances, so the atmosphere is lively and social rather than quiet. The resort also sells day passes and memberships, but prices are not published on the home page.
Northside Country Club
Nudist club for families and couples in Central Victoria, about ninety minutes north of Melbourne near Heathcote. The members own and run the 70-acre property, which has a heated clubhouse, communal barbecues, several toilet and shower blocks, a solar-heated above-ground pool with a deck, tennis and petanque courts, and nearly 3 km of walking tracks. Social events are held around every major public holiday and at least monthly through the rest of the year, and visitor accommodation is offered.
Nose Hill Park
Nose Hill Park is one of the largest urban parks in Canada, a high grassland plateau in north-west Calgary crossed by informal trails with wide views of the Rockies. Local naturists have hiked here nude for years in quieter areas away from the main entrances. Public nudity is not authorised in the park and sits in a legal grey area, so hikers carry clothing and cover up when meeting other users. There is no water or shade on the plateau.
Nottingham Sun Club
A five-acre club reached by private roads inside the grounds of Newstead Abbey Park, with roots going back to 1939. It has a covered heated swimming pool, a sauna, three miniten courts, boules, shuffleboard, volleyball and a tennis court, plus two pavilions with cooking facilities, games and a library. There is a patio with gas barbecues and lawns. Visitors can bring tents, folding caravans or motorhomes.
NSB Schwäbischer Wald - Gelände Schönrain
A naturist family sports club founded in 1968 whose five-hectare Schönrain grounds lie near Kirchenkirnberg in the Swabian-Franconian Forest nature park. The club-owned site has a swimming pool, sports facilities and sanitary buildings, with 73 pitches used by around 150 members. Visitors are welcomed in a quiet, family-friendly setting surrounded by forest.
NSV De Waterlelie
Naturist sports club in Almere, affiliated with NFN Open & Bloot, where members play sport together without clothes in a relaxed, respectful atmosphere. Its main activity is nude badminton on Thursday evenings from 20:00 to 22:15 outside school holidays, in a rented hall at Slagbaai 14 in Almere-Stad. Naturist volleyball is planned when enough people sign up; club swimming has been paused. A certified Prettig Bloot location.
Nuance Naturist B&B
Nuance Naturist B&B is a small, owner-run naturist bed and breakfast on about forty secluded acres of woods and fields in Bedford Charter Township, on the northern edge of Battle Creek in southwest Michigan. It is a guesthouse, not a resort or club: there are three themed bedrooms (named Tranquility, Serenity and Zen) sleeping six guests in total, with shared bathrooms, a shared lounge and a guest refrigerator. Guest reviews also mention a converted caboose on the grounds used as a room. Clothing is optional throughout the house and grounds. Facilities include a hot tub, an outdoor shower in the warmer months, free parking and Wi-Fi. Time is spent on woodland walks, reading, yoga, meditation, photography or fishing on the property, and a cooked breakfast is served each morning. Directory listings describe it as aimed at couples and LGBT-friendly. It accepts guests year-round. Turtle Lake, a larger nudist resort, is in the same part of Michigan for anyone wanting a bigger naturist venue nearby.
Nude beach westduinpark
The Westduinpark nude beach is the northern of the two naturist stretches on The Hague's Zuiderstrand, the long North Sea beach between Scheveningen and Kijkduin. It sits below the Westduinpark, a protected dune landscape that separates the city's southwestern neighbourhoods from the sea. The signed nude section is about 500 m long, between beach poles 104 and 105, and is reached from beach entrance (strandslag) 8. Textile beach continues on both sides, so clothed walkers pass along the waterline. The coast here was widened with sand during the 2008-2011 reinforcement works, so the beach is broad, flat sand with a gently sloping sea floor, and most of the old stone groynes are now buried. There is no shade and no lifeguard on the nude section; the nearest lifeguard post is near entrance 7. What makes the spot unusual for the Netherlands is the @theBeach pavilion at entrance 8, which keeps its north-facing terrace for nude guests while the rest of the building requires clothing. Reports from 2025 say the nude zone was widened and the dunes behind it fenced off, so sunbathing is now on the beach only. The crowd is mixed in age, with couples and families as well as single visitors.
Nude Charters
Nude Charters is a small naturist sailing business in Key West that takes guests out on a catamaran for clothing-optional days on the water around the lower Florida Keys. It is run by a couple, Aaron and Angie: Captain Aaron skippers the boat and Angie, a boating expert, is also a yoga instructor. Trips are private charters rather than scheduled tours; clothing-optional boats in the Keys usually head for the shallow sandbars and back-country waters around Key West, and directory listings mention two paddleboards on board. Booking-platform listings describe the service as adults only (18+), and nude charters in the Keys are generally booked privately rather than advertised to walk-up customers. Details such as the boat's size, maximum group size and current prices are not published on the operator's site, so confirm them when you enquire.
Nude Dudes Chicago
a group of 18- to 40-year-old gay men who host public nudity related events in the Chicago area.
Nudie Dudies
A friendly naturist swim on the third Sunday of each month, 3:30pm to 4:30pm, at Llantwit Major Leisure Centre in the Vale of Glamorgan. There is a pool only, with no sauna or steam room, and the group usually goes to a local pub afterwards. Everyone is welcome except under-18s, which is a condition of the hire agreement.
Nudist area Geestmerambacht
The Geestmerambacht nude area is an inland naturist spot on the Zomerdel, the recreation lake in the Geestmerambacht park between Alkmaar and Langedijk (now part of the municipality of Dijk en Waard) in North Holland. It occupies a small peninsula on the east shore of the lake at swimming bay 4, covering about one hectare of open lawns with a short strip of sand, and is marked with signs. The swimming area in front is unusual: part of it is enclosed by rock fill and only about 0.8 m deep, which suits small children but not real swimming, while outside it the shore drops steeply and the lake reaches around 20 m deep. A floating jetty lets stronger swimmers reach deeper water. The bay is an officially monitored bathing water, with a buoy line at 1.4 m. Facilities are minimal: one toilet block, bins and bike racks; food and drink are only at the clothed car-park areas to the north and south. The Zomerdel lake was redeveloped in 2007, and the wider recreation area has been earmarked for further changes. Wooded areas around the lawns have a reputation for cruising, which NFN raised with the park operator in 2020, leading to vegetation being cut back.
Nudist beach in Hossegor
Hossegor's naturist beach is on the open Atlantic coast of the Landes at the northern edge of Soorts-Hossegor, where the town meets Seignosse. The French naturist federation, in its list published on France.fr, places the naturist area beyond the last supervised section of beach, at the boundary with Seignosse. The departmental beach guide lists it as a beach where naturism is specifically allowed and as supervised, with a surf school nearby. It is wild, fine-sand ocean beach backed by dunes, about 600 m from the Plage de la Gravière and 750 m from the Plage des Estagnots in Seignosse, both well-known surf spots. The Landes surf is powerful and currents can be strong, so swim only where and when lifeguards are on duty. A separate naturist area exists further north at Seignosse.
Nudist beach Kralingse Bos
The Kralingse Bos nude beach is a small official naturist area on the Kralingse Plas, the lake at the centre of Rotterdam's 200-hectare Kralingse Bos park, about 4 km northeast of the city centre. It is the last section of the Strandbad Kralingse Plas on the north side of the lake, next to the textile beach and separated from it by a wooden fence and bushes, with one access path and signs at the entrance. The area is small, about 0.4 hectares, made up of a strip of sand and a fenced, grassy sunbathing meadow behind the shrubs. The beach looks across the water to the Rotterdam skyline. The lake bottom slopes gently and the marked swimming area, bounded by a buoy line, is no deeper than 1.6 m; visibility is under a metre, and the textile end has shells and debris underfoot. The swim zone is an officially monitored bathing water. There are no facilities on the nude beach itself apart from bike racks and bins; a toilet is about 500 m away and a kiosk at the car park. The ground was often damp, so it was cleaned and raised at the end of 2021 after NFN Open & Bloot raised maintenance with the park manager. Crowds are mostly men, and cruising in the bushes is a recurring complaint.
Nudist beach Noord Aa
The Noord Aa naturist beach is on the Zoetermeerse Plas, a lake dug for sand extraction, in Noord Aa, Zoetermeer's largest recreation area. A 2016 redesign moved the naturist area from its old spot between the general beach and the children's beach. Since 2017 it has been next to the children's beach, separated from it by an earth embankment about 1.7 m high, fenced and planted with young trees. Sources disagree on which side of the lake this is (south-east or north-east), so follow the signs. The naturist area has two parts. The main family section has lawns, a strip of sand and its own swimming area. The roped-off zone is at most 0.7 m deep, gentle enough for children, and the water deepens quickly past the buoy line at 1.5 m. A separate, smaller section with a lawn but no beach or water is a designated gay meeting area, kept apart from the family section. The family section has a toilet building with outdoor showers, a foot tap and bins. Restaurant Aa-zicht and a snack bar are on the textile beach about 700 m away. Waterbirds are plentiful, and visitors often mention goose droppings on the grass.
Nudist Beach Oostkapelle
The Oostkapelle nude beach is on the North Sea coast of Walcheren in the municipality of Veere. It lies east of Oostkapelle village, behind the Oranjezon dunes, a nature reserve managed by Het Zeeuwse Landschap. Nude recreation is allowed from beach crossing 72 (Oranjezon) west to beach pole 10.9, a stretch of roughly 2.3 km marked with signs. East of crossing 72, after a short textile stretch, comes the separate Vrouwenpolder nude section. The beach is wide, clean sand with a gently sloping seabed. Rows of breakwater poles stand in the surf, and swimming near them is dangerous. There is no lifeguard on the nude stretch. The nearest lifeguard post is at beach entrance 66 (Duinweg), about 700 m beyond the western boundary. Toilets and a shower are on the beach. The pavilions Aloha Beach at crossing 72 and Zeecafé near the start of the section serve clothed guests only. Nudity in the dunes is banned and checked, and in 2023 Zeeland municipalities banned sex in the dunes after complaints. Dogs are not allowed on this stretch. The naturist mini-campsite Hermitage is between Domburg and Oostkapelle.
Nudist beach Rockanje
The Rockanje nude beach is on the North Sea coast of Voorne, south-west of Rotterdam, in the municipality now called Voorne aan Zee (formerly Westvoorne). It lies north-west of Rockanje village, behind the dunes of the Voornes Duin nature reserve. The official nude section runs about 800 m between beach poles 10.6 and 11.4, near the Groene Punt viewpoint, and is marked with signs. In practice some people already go nude from around pole 11.8. The boundaries have shifted over the years, and regulars report small changes from season to season. The beach is sand with a gently sloping seabed. Sandbanks offshore keep the water calm. Goeree-Overflakkee is visible to the south and the port of Maasvlakte to the north. Much of the dune edge behind the section is a bird breeding area within a Natura 2000 site, so stay on the beach. There are no facilities on the nude section and no lifeguard. The nearest lifeguard post is at Eerste Slag, about 1.5 km beyond the southern boundary. Salsa Beach Club and another pavilion are at the Tweede Slag beach entrance. Dogs are not allowed on the section.
Nudist beach Terrière
La Terrière is the northernmost beach of La Tranche-sur-Mer in Vendée, a wide sand beach about 2 km long that runs north toward Longeville-sur-Mer, backed by tall dunes and pine forest. The French naturist federation lists it as a naturist beach, and beach guides place the nude zone north of the lifeguarded section: past beach access 152, about 300 m beyond the lifeguard post, where a sign marks the area where nudists are tolerated. Further north the naturist zone connects with Les Conches at Longeville, which the federation also lists and says is reached through Terrière. This is open Atlantic coast: waves are often big, with holes and rip currents, so it is popular for surfing and kitesurfing and swimming needs care, especially outside the supervised area. The southern, clothed part of the beach has a summer lifeguard post, showers, toilets and restaurants; the naturist part has no services. Dogs are allowed outside the supervised zones.
Nudist beach Texel - Den Hoorn
The Den Hoorn nude beach is on the North Sea coast of southern Texel, south of the Hoornderslag beach entrance near the village of Den Hoorn. Texel's bylaw allows nude recreation between beach poles 8 and 10.13, a signposted stretch of up to about 1.9 km. One guide notes that in practice the nude part ends around pole 8.8. To the south lies De Hors, a wide, quiet sand plain at the island's southern tip. Officially it is reached only along the nude beach or by a few dune paths. The beach is wide sand with a sloping seabed. This section has groynes (stone breakwaters). Swimming near them is risky because of strong currents and sharp mussels and barnacles that can cause deep cuts. There is no lifeguard on the section itself. The post at the Hoornderslag entrance is about 300 m away. Pavilion Paal 9 is at the entrance, around pole 10, and a beach shop and snack stand are on the sand. Dogs are allowed on a leash, and nudity in the dunes is not allowed. The Loodsmansduin campsite, about 2 km away, has a fenced naturist field of about 100 pitches.
Nudist beach Texel De Cocksdorp
The De Cocksdorp nude beach is on the North Sea side of northern Texel, the largest Wadden island. Texel's bylaw allows nude recreation on the beach between beach poles 26.4 and 27.45, a signposted stretch of about 1,050 m. It is about 25 km from the ferry terminal. The setting is natural and quiet: a wide sand beach with a gently sloping seabed and the dunes of Duinen van Texel National Park behind it. The Slufter, a tidal inlet nature area, is about 1.4 km north, and in the beach season the route to it runs through the nude beach. The nearest pavilion, Paal 28, is about 650 m away at the Krimweg beach entrance and is clothed only. There is a small beach shop and snack stand on the sand. There is no lifeguard on the nude section. The nearest post is about 500 m away at the beach entrance. Nudity in the dunes is not allowed. Dogs are allowed on a leash. Texel's second nude beach is at Den Hoorn in the south, and the naturist section of the Loodsmansduin campsite is near Den Hoorn.
Nudist beach Zevenhuizerplas
The Zevenhuizerplas nude beach is in the Rottemeren recreation area, just north of Rotterdam in the municipality of Zuidplas. The area is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. The Zevenhuizerplas is a sand-extraction lake that has recently been roughly doubled in size. The naturist beach is on the north side of the old lake, at the western end of the recreation beaches. Since the 2019 season it has been separated from the textile beach by a hedge-topped earth bank, and it is marked with signs. It is a lawn with a small strip of sand, surrounded by trees and bushes, which make it sheltered and fairly private. The swimming area is marked with a buoy line at 1.5 m depth over a sloping bottom. Outside it the lake deepens quickly, and the water can suddenly turn cold. There is a mobile toilet and bins, but no other facilities on the naturist section. Restaurant De Strandgaper is by the car park on the textile beach, about 500 m away (it was being renovated at the time of a recent report), and there is a kiosk. The beach is small, so it fills up on hot days. Dogs are not allowed.
Nymphensee
The Nymphensee is a small lake on the edge of Brieselang in the Havelland district, just west of Berlin-Spandau, run as the Strandbad Nymphensee. Brandenburg's official tourism board lists it as a lido where nude bathing is allowed, and it markets the lake as the cleanest in the Havelland, holding a Blue Flag award. Rather than a separate fenced nude zone, the listing simply states that FKK is permitted at the bathing site, so clothed and nude visitors share the shore. It is a staffed, ticketed lido: a lifeguard is on duty in season, there is a bistro with a large 200 m² terrace, deck-chair and stand-up paddleboard rental, and a sanitary block with toilets, changing cabins, drinking water and outdoor showers. Komoot users note it gets very busy on summer weekends, so arrive early.
Oaklake Trails Naturist Resort
Oaklake Trails is a family-oriented, clothing-optional naturist park in the hickory and oak hills near Depew, Oklahoma, roughly halfway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City just north of historic Route 66. Opened in 1992 and a charter member of the American Association for Nude Recreation, it covers more than 400 acres crossed by hiking trails, with small lakes for fishing and a 9-hole disc-golf course. The social centre is a clubhouse with game room, heated pools, a hot tub and a six-person Finnish sauna, plus the Bare Buns Bistro. Accommodation includes 14 cabins (from basic glamping units to full cabins with kitchenettes and renovated king cabins), more than 40 RV sites with 30/50-amp power, water and sewer, 12 shaded tent sites with electricity near the pools, and lots for long-term lease. Clothing is optional around the grounds, but nudity is mandatory in the pools, hot tub and sauna. The calendar is busy: nude bingo, crafts, dances, a chapel service, Route 66-themed events and the 'Buff Burn' weekend. Oaklake has hosted the AANR national convention, most recently in August 2025, and The Naturist Society's Central Naturist Gathering in October 2026.
Oaklands Sun Club
An established naturist club near Leicester with a pavilion and patio, a sauna and a heated swimming pool. Sports facilities include petanque, badminton, miniten and volleyball courts, and there is a growing children's play area. As a members' club it suits naturists living in or visiting the East Midlands who want a regular base with outdoor space, sports and swimming through the summer.
Oakwood Club
The Oakwood Club is a member-owned landed nudist club near Stacy, in the countryside roughly 35 minutes north of Minneapolis-St. Paul. A small group of German immigrant families started it in 1942 so they could sunbathe nude as they had in Europe. The club calls itself the first nudist club in Minnesota and one of the oldest in the country. It is affiliated with AANR, and full membership includes AANR dues. Oakwood describes its approach as non-sexual, body-positive and family friendly, and the grounds are clothing-optional. The wooded property has a campground with camper lots, overnight rental accommodation, a central bath house and a sport court area. Evenings bring campfires, billiards, dancing, karaoke and movies. The season is summer: members get unlimited visits with a gate card during the season, and the calendar includes Oakwood Days and other events such as a 5K run. New members join provisionally for the first year and can then apply for General Member status, which allows voting and serving on the board.
Oakwood Sun Club
A friendly members' club founded in 1962, set in five acres of oak woodland in Essex. Facilities include a solar-heated pool, a sun lawn, a clubhouse with kitchen, petanque and miniten courts, table tennis, darts, a pool table and woodland walks. The club holds open days, barbecues and social events through the year and suits newcomers to naturism as well as experienced naturists.
Oasi Termale di Zello FKK
Independent naturist day centre in the Sillaro valley in the hills south-east of Bologna, linked to the nearby Villaggio della Salute Più thermal park. In summer it offers sunny lawns and woods, a pool, a whirlpool, a sauna and a steam bath. There is no overnight accommodation on site, but camping, apartments and rooms are available at the neighbouring village. Naturist evenings are organised during the winter.
Obelisk Beach
Obelisk Beach is a small harbour beach on the southern side of Middle Head in Mosman, inside Sydney Harbour National Park. It faces across the harbour mouth toward Watsons Bay, Camp Cove and Vaucluse. The whole beach is a designated nude bathing area under New South Wales law, and Mosman Council's beach page notes it is a nude bathing area. The beach is a broad strip of soft sand backed by bush and sandstone, broader than neighbouring Cobblers Beach, with calm, sheltered harbour water that is good for swimming (watch for passing ferries and boat wash). It is unpatrolled with no facilities on the sand, although a coffee boat often calls in summer selling drinks and ice cream. The crowd leans male and is popular with gay men, becoming more mixed on summer weekends.
Old Indian Hot Springs
Old Indian Hot Springs, universally called Stinky or Stinking Springs, sits beside UT-83 at the foot of Little Mountain on the flat salt-marsh edge of the Great Salt Lake basin, west of Corinne in northern Utah. A sulfur spring feeds three open-air concrete tubs set behind graffiti-covered walls, the remains of a bathhouse that was demolished around 2000 after a man died, probably from hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide trapped inside. The tubs run hot, typically around 103 to 113°F with a gradient from one to the next; temperatures rose after seismic activity in 2020. The water is rich in hydrogen sulfide, salt and other minerals, and the rotten-egg smell is strong and clings to skin and hair. Use is free and informal: the land is reported to be either privately owned with the owner tolerating public use, or donated to the county on condition it stay free. Clothing is optional by custom and nude soakers are common. The site is rough around the edges, with a history of litter, broken glass and vandalism, and is not suitable for children. It makes a stop on trips to Spiral Jetty or Golden Spike.
Olive Dell Ranch
Olive Dell Ranch is a family-oriented nudist and naturist resort at 26520 Keissel Road in Colton, a few miles from San Bernardino and Riverside in Southern California. It offers day visits and overnight stays, with rental cabins, RV hookups and campsites. Listed amenities include a tennis court, hiking trails, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a sauna. Entry is screened: one review on The Dyrt mentions a gate screening process that includes background checks, so access is restricted rather than open to the public. The ranch is also described as a residential RV park. Undated news reports seen in search results mention a criminal case and a dress-code dispute involving the property. I could not confirm the dates or details. Reviews and directory listings are sparse, so the current rules and status should be checked with the ranch before any visit.
Olympus Grove
North Georgia mountain naturist club with wooded grounds, pool, and cabin/RV options in a private club setting.
Oneida Campground & Lodge
Oneida Campground & Lodge is a privately owned LGBT campground in the Endless Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, near New Milford in Susquehanna County. It opened in 1980 and describes itself as the oldest LGBT campground in the United States; other listings call it the oldest gay-owned and operated campground in the Northeast. Directory listings describe it as a private-membership, clothing-optional campground for adults aged 21 and over, and its clientele is mainly gay men. The wooded property covers about 94 acres. Accommodation ranges from tent sites and RV hookups to cabins and rooms in two lodges; listings mention around 12 cabins and 15 lodge rooms. Facilities include an outdoor pool with a snack bar, campfires and an enclosed nightclub, Club O, for dancing and weekend shows. Dogs are allowed on a leash but not in the upper lodge. The campground runs seasonally, roughly from late spring to autumn, and 2026 was its 46th season. House rules stress consent and respect for neighbours, and breaking camp rules can lead to expulsion.
Onthaasten in de Achterhoek (De Appelbloessem, De Essenburgh, De Tortelduif)
Three luxury wellness holiday homes on a small holiday park at Lievelde in the Achterhoek, listed on BlootKompas! for nude stays. De Appelbloessem and De Essenburgh each sleep six, and De Tortelduif is a romantic home for two with covered hot tub, lounge areas and infrared sauna. Private, sunny gardens make nude relaxing possible in every season.
Oriental Beach Village
Oriental Beach Village is a small, privately run naturist resort on Koh Kho Khao, a flat, quiet island just off Takua Pa in Phang Nga province, on the Andaman coast north of Khao Lak and Phuket. It describes itself as a clothing-optional naturist resort and is often cited as the only Thai naturist resort set directly on a beach, with access to the island's long, very quiet west-coast sands; nudity is limited to the resort's own grounds. Accommodation is in four types of unit: one- and two-bedroom suites and one- and two-bedroom villas, with air conditioning and some balconies. The centrepiece is a large swimming pool with sun terraces in a garden, and there is a restaurant and bar, 24-hour reception, wellness activities and, according to travel press, bicycles and kayaks for guests. Forum posts say it is run by a French owner, and its contact lines include a French-speaking number. The island has little traffic and few other visitors, so the resort suits guests looking for a peaceful stay rather than nightlife. The dry season from November to April is the usual time to visit the Andaman coast; the south-west monsoon brings rain and rough seas from May to October.
Origan Village
Origan Village is a long-established naturist campsite and holiday village in the foothills of Haute-Provence, two kilometres from Puget-Théniers in the upper Var valley, about an hour inland from Nice. The estate is large, wooded and hilly, laid out in terraces above the Var with a river running along its lower edge. Accommodation ranges from a quieter wooded tent area by the river and a terraced area for caravans and motorhomes with valley views, to rental chalets, Provençal-style cottages, a small villa and canvas lodge tents for two to six people. Facilities include a heated south-facing pool with a water slide and children's pools, a wellness area with sauna, hammam, jacuzzi and massages, a tennis court, a sports hall, archery, pétanque, a playground, a bar-restaurant with a panoramic terrace, takeaway meals, a grocery and a launderette. A highlight is a network of naturist walking trails of around 7 km entirely within the estate, climbing to a viewpoint at about 800 m, plus a secluded stretch of river for bathing. Families, couples and first-time naturists are explicitly welcome. The 2026 season ran from 24 April to 4 October.
Orplid Darmstadt
A century-old naturist community with an 8.5-hectare car-free, fenced ground in Darmstadt-Arheilgen used by about 900 members. Children can walk to the outdoor pool on their own while parents relax, and the club presents naturism as lived community rather than ideology. Facilities include a pool, sauna, sports areas, a restaurant and WiFi.
Orplid Frankfurt
A naturist association for the Frankfurt area with grounds in Neu-Isenburg, just south of the city. Travellers passing through can stop for sport, relaxation and time with like-minded people, with guest pitches allocated by volunteers. Registration roughly two weeks ahead is requested, after which guests receive pitch details and a one-time access code.
Orr Hot Springs
A small, quiet clothing-optional hot springs resort on 27 acres in the Mendocino Coast Range, on a winding country road between Ukiah and Mendocino. Mineral water feeds a heated soaking tub, a rock-lined outdoor pool, private tubs and a sauna. Guests stay in rooms, yurts, cottages or campsites, cook in a shared communal kitchen, and can walk to the redwoods of nearby Montgomery Woods.
Orvis Hot Springs
Orvis Hot Springs is a privately run hot springs resort on County Road 3, a couple of miles south of Ridgway, Colorado, at about 6,900 feet with views of the Sneffels Range in the San Juan Mountains. Its lithium-bearing mineral water flows naturally into around ten soaking areas and is never heated or chlorinated; pools are drained and cleaned in rotation. The main outdoor pond is large, with water of roughly 98 to 100F. The small Lobster Pot reaches about 112F for short soaks, and Smoker's Pond sits around 103 to 107F with a little waterfall. There is also an indoor pool house at about 101F, two private tubs bookable by the hour, a cold plunge and a sauna. Adults aged 18 and over may soak clothing-optional or in a swimsuit; children and teens must wear swimsuits at all times. Cameras and phones are banned at the pools. On-site lodging comprises six simple rooms and a small number of tent and vehicle campsites, with a shared kitchen, and overnight guests get round-the-clock pool access. It is open daily year-round.
Ottawa Naturists / Naturistes de l'Outaouais (ONNO)
A bilingual non-landed naturist club in the Ottawa-Gatineau area that runs a season of evening nude swims at several rented Ottawa pools from September to May, usually on Saturday nights for about two hours. It also organises social events, including an annual summer barbecue at Sunward Naturist Park, and promotes local clothing-optional spots such as Meech Lake.
Oxford Naturist Club (Oxnat)
Founded in 1979, Oxnat has its own woodland grounds near Oxford with a clubhouse with wood-burning fire and conservatory, and a hot tub. Members can use the site at any time, alongside scheduled social events and sauna evenings. The club also hires Didcot Wave leisure pool on about twenty Saturday evenings a year for naturist swims, which BN members can attend with notice.
Pandora's Forest
Pandora's Forest is an adults-only, clothing-optional resort near Crossville on Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau. Hotel booking listings describe it as a property where nudity is permitted in public areas and guests must be at least 21 to check in. Listed facilities include an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a nightclub and an on-site restaurant, the James Street Bistro. Booking sites also show a resort fee charged from April to November. The resort's style is that of a lively adult resort rather than a traditional family nudist club. A 2026 podcast episode about a Tennessee resort called Pandora's describes RV sites with full hookups, primitive camping, cabins and chalets, a pool and a hot tub, with a membership application that includes ID upload for a background check, and says the business has new owners; it is likely but not confirmed that this is the same place. The resort's former website no longer works, so check its status before travelling.
Paphos
Mandria - Hidden Beach located on the east side of the village is situated at the bottom of the cliffs providing shelter from wandering eyes. The beach also has multiple smaller...
Paradise Lakes Resort
Paradise Lakes is a privately owned clothing-optional resort in Lutz, in Pasco County just north of Tampa. It opened in the early 1980s on land beside Lake Como, next door to the older Lake Como family nudist club, and grew into one of Florida's best-known nude resorts, with a residential condo community alongside the hotel. Today the resort describes itself as an adult venue aimed mainly at nudist couples in the lifestyle scene, so expect a party-leaning, adults-only atmosphere rather than a family naturist club. Facilities include four heated pools and a hot tub open all year, the Key West Bar & Grill and the Water's Edge restaurant (weekend breakfasts), an indoor bar, the Club Reveal nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights, water volleyball, six pickleball courts and a gym. Overnight guests use poolside hotel rooms with king beds; some privately owned condos are also let through holiday-rental sites. Clothing is optional across the grounds. The calendar is built around themed weekends, karaoke and trivia nights, and big seasonal parties such as Halloween.
Paradise Pines RV Park
Paradise Pines RV Park is a nudist RV park at 20300 Leonard Road in Lutz, Pasco County, north of Tampa. It sits in the area its own website calls Florida's nudist and naturist centre, next door to Lake Como Family Nudist Resort and close to several other clothing-optional communities. It is an AANR-affiliated park. Real-estate listings show that lots at this address are individually owned condominium units, with recent asking prices of about $80,000 for one lot and $187,000 (2026) for another unit. The park's website has a site chart, rules and regulations, and a members-only area, which points to a resident-run community rather than a commercial resort. Published details on facilities, guest stays and rates are sparse, so contact the park directly to ask whether short-term visitors or RV guests are accepted and what the dress code is.
Paradise Valley Resort and Club
Paradise Valley Resort & Club is a private, gated, clothing-optional members' club and residential community on more than 100 acres in the north Georgia foothills outside Dawsonville, about an hour north of Atlanta via GA 400. It has been privately owned since 2009. Guests can wear as much or as little as they like, including at the pools, clubhouse, bars and dining room. Facilities include three pools (two heated), two hot tubs (one indoors), a fitness room, sand and water volleyball, nature trails, a large tiki bar in summer and a clubhouse with a full bar, dance floor, billiards and table tennis. Dinners are served on several nights a week and there is poolside food at weekends. The resort is also a place to live: there are yearly RV sites, apartments, condo leases and home sites for sale, though owning or renting property does not include club membership. It is open all year, with themed dance parties on Friday and Saturday nights and events such as a polar plunge, a masquerade and the Fig Leaf 5K. The tone is social and party-oriented rather than quiet.
PARC – Plein Air Relax Club
Family naturist club founded in 1966 on a 5,000 m² green ground in protected farmland at Houplines, 13 km from Lille. For members it works like a second home. Facilities include a heated pool, pétanque and volleyball courts, a refreshment bar and children's games, and a convivial meal is held each month in season on reservation.
Parksland Retreat
Parksland Retreat is a small, privately owned clothing-optional campground in the woods of the Talladega National Forest area in east-central Alabama. It covers about 40 acres around an old homestead, with frontage on a creek used for swimming and fishing. The site is off-grid. Instead of a conventional campground it offers a handful of distinct pitches: three primitive campsites, three platforms for your own tent, three canvas bell tents with queen beds and wood stoves, and a small cabin with a full bed and kitchenette. Shared facilities include a hot outdoor shower, composting toilets and a small spa area with a sauna, a hot tub and a cold plunge. Campfires are allowed in the fire rings provided. Two miles of trail start on the property, and the Pinhoti Trail is a few miles away. Nudity is allowed everywhere but not required, and clothed guests are equally welcome. All guests must be 18 or over. The hosts describe the retreat as LGBTQ- and BIPOC-friendly.
Parsteiner See
The Parsteiner See is a clear lake of about 1,000 ha in the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve in Brandenburg, north-east of Berlin between Chorin, Brodowin and Angermünde. Swimming is only allowed at designated bathing places, and the main ones, with campsites and shallow child-friendly entries, are at the Pehlitzwerder peninsula in the south-west and at Parstein in the south-east. The nude option is in the north: the official Berlin tourism portal names a small FKK bathing place near the village of Herzsprung, and the Brandenburg tourism board lists a bathing place with a sunbathing lawn at the lake's northern tip (Am Parsteinsee, Herzsprung). Close by, the Sport- und FKK-Verein Herzsprung runs a naturist campsite with its own beach where nudity is compulsory and a large naturist lawn that day visitors may use; its kiosk opens in good weather. The water is rated excellent in the state's bathing-water monitoring at Parstein. Expect a quiet, rural setting with a grassy shore rather than a sandy resort beach; details such as the exact extent of the public FKK section are not well documented.
Paya Bay Resort
Paya Bay is a small eco-resort on a 16-acre bluff at the quiet East End of Roatán in Honduras' Bay Islands, overlooking two crescent beaches and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It is a general resort rather than a naturist club, but it is known for a clothing-optional policy laid out in three zones. In the restaurant and other public areas swimsuits or sarongs are expected. Bliss Beach, the Black Iguana beach bar and the trails to the rooms are clothing-optional. A secluded area of about six acres is clothing-free at all times, and naturist participation is expected there. The resort alternates naturist weeks, when both the beach and the secluded area are open to nude use, with 'classical' weeks, when only the secluded area stays nude. Rooms have sea or garden views with balconies or terraces. On site there are a restaurant and bar serving cooked-to-order breakfast, a pool, about 1.5 km of nature trails, kayaks, snorkelling and diving on the reef just offshore, yoga and fishing. Trip reports go back to at least 2009, so the clothing-optional tradition is long-standing, though details have changed over time.
Peace Blue Naiharn
Peace Blue Naiharn Naturist Resort is a small, privately run naturist hotel in the Rawai area of southern Phuket, a few minutes' drive from Nai Harn and Rawai beaches. It opened in 2016 and is promoted as the first naturist-friendly resort on Phuket, set up by a Thai couple with hotel management backgrounds to serve the growing number of naturist travellers visiting the island. Aggregator listings give about ten rooms, ranging from superior king rooms to a two-bedroom family deluxe unit, with air conditioning, kitchenettes, fridges and TVs; one suite type has its own plunge pool. Shared facilities include an outdoor pool with a children's pool, a poolside bar, a sauna, a fitness room, a massage room and the on-site @Lemon Tree Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The resort is clothing optional: nudity is allowed around the pool and recreation areas, while clothes are expected at reception and in the restaurant. It also sells speedboat island trips and catamaran charters. A separate property nearby, Lemon Tree Naturist Phuket, has its own listings and rules, so do not confuse the two.
Pelican Point Beach
Pelican Point is on the shore of Lake Bonney, a freshwater lake beside the town of Barmera in South Australia's Riverland. Berri Barmera Council says the site has been used as a public swimming area, including for unclad (nude) bathing, since 1984. It is not reserved exclusively for nude bathers, it is day-use only, and camping has never been allowed. Like most of the land around Lake Bonney, Pelican Point is under native title. The council closed access to the original nude area after a flood, and later blocked it off because of its cultural significance and its unsuitability for swimming. In 2023, after an agreement between the council, the Pelican Point user group and the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, the council amended its unclad bathing policy to provide a new nude bathing area about 500 m north of the old spot. The record's map pin may mark the old area. A separate private business, Pelican Point Nudist Park on Morgan Road, is a clothing-free resort that requires bookings and is not the public beach.
Pelican Point Nudist Park
Private clothing-free holiday park on Morgan Road near Lake Bonney at Barmera in the Riverland, aimed at couples. It offers powered and unpowered grassed sites and an in-ground swimming pool, and opens seven days a week in the afternoon. It is a separate business from the council-managed Pelican Point unclad bathing area on the lakeshore, which has been used by nude swimmers since 1984 and is for day visits only.
Pen-Mar Club
Pen-Mar Club is a member-owned family nudist club in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in Fulton County, south-central Pennsylvania, just north of the Maryland line near Hancock. It has been running for more than 76 years and is affiliated with AANR. The grounds cover about 60 acres, mostly wooded, in a secluded valley behind a gate. Facilities include a swimming pool, open lawns for sunbathing, walking trails, a catch-and-release fishing pond and volleyball, which the club plays in its own style. Social nudity is the norm on the grounds, though members dress when weather or activities make it practical. The club welcomes families and encourages couples to bring their children, and its focus is on simple outdoor recreation in a quiet woodland setting rather than on resort facilities.
Petit Hotel Natura
Small naturist hotel in San Agustín, between Playa del Inglés and the Maspalomas dunes. Rooms for one or two guests are set around a subtropical garden, a heated saltwater pool, jacuzzi and magnesium sauna, with a large roof terrace overlooking the sea. Swimwear is not allowed in the wellness areas, and the hotel runs a free shuttle to the naturist beach.
Pevors Farm
Naturist self-catering holidays at Southey Green near Sible Hedingham in north Essex. Five cottages and two apartments have been converted from a barn, cart lodges, a forge and a granary, with courtyards for sheltered sunbathing. Guests have a 12 m indoor heated pool, a covered hot tub, a games room, a sunroom and boules, and can follow naturist footpaths through meadows, ponds and woodland. One cottage is wheelchair accessible.
PGs Udde
PGs Udde is a small point on the northern shore of Källtorpssjön, a forest lake in the Nacka nature reserve about 5 km south-east of central Stockholm. It is an unofficial, spontaneous nude bathing spot with smooth rocks for sunbathing and clean lake water. There are no facilities and the access is by forest paths from Björkhagen or Hellasgården. The better-known Källtorp nude beach is at the other end of the same lake. Expect a quiet, mixed crowd in summer.
Pihlajasaaren Naturistiranta
Pihlajasaari is a pair of small islands joined by a bridge, a short boat ride off southern Helsinki. It is one of the city's most popular summer recreation areas and has no permanent residents. The main public beach is on the western island. The naturist beach is on Eastern Pihlajasaari: a designated unisex area kept apart from the rest of the shore. That makes it one of very few mixed-gender nude beaches in Finland; Seurasaari's nude bathing areas are separated by gender. The naturist shore is mostly rock rather than sand, so it suits sunbathing better than swimming, though people do swim off the rocks. The islands themselves mix rocks, woodland, groves and old villa gardens, and a marked nature trail of about 2-3 km crosses both. Helsinki's city tourism site, MyHelsinki, confirms the naturist beach. On hot days the ferries and the main beach get busy, but the naturist area, a walk across the bridge, is usually calmer.
Pilwarren
Family-run nudist retreat that has operated since 1994, set on a large lagoon off the Murray River with a view of the river cliffs. The owners live on site and welcome nudist couples and families. Facilities include a big kitchen and recreation room with a wood fire for cooler months and an 18-hole mini golf course. First-time visitors may undress at their own pace, though everyone is encouraged to be nude. Pets are not allowed, and the venue is not for swingers.
Pine Tree Associates
Pine Tree Associates is a member-owned nudist club in Crownsville, a few miles north-west of Annapolis, Maryland. It was founded in 1934 by a group of friends from Washington and Baltimore on the Keyes family farm, and in 1958 the family handed ownership to the members, who still run it as a co-operative. The club has about 96 wooded acres next to the Bacon Ridge Natural Area, with hiking paths, a large outdoor pool, an indoor pool and hot tub that run through the winter, a sauna, tennis and volleyball courts and a big clubhouse used for potlucks, trivia and movie nights and holiday dinners. Rental cabins (two are pet-friendly), campsites and RV hook-ups are available, and there is a fenced dog-exercise area. Pine Tree is a nudist club rather than clothing-optional: members and guests are expected to be nude in common areas when the weather allows, hats and ordinary T-shirts are acceptable, but underwear and lingerie are not; children and teens may stay clothed except at the pools. Many members drive in from DC, Baltimore and Northern Virginia, and families and retirees mix on weekends. It is open all year.
Pineglades Naturist Club
Pineglades Naturist Club, which calls itself the home of Canterbury naturists, is a members' club on landscaped parkland at Rolleston, about 20 km south-west of Christchurch just off State Highway 1. It is the New Zealand Naturist Federation's listed club for Canterbury. The gated grounds cover about 8 hectares (18 acres) and include an arboretum of native plantings with bush walks around the perimeter, a rose garden and a children's playground with a trampoline and sandpit. Swimming is in a 15 by 6 metre solar-heated pool with a shaded sun lounge, and a spa and sauna complex near the clubhouse runs all year. Sports are a big part of club life: there are three miniten courts, a volleyball court, a tennikoit court and two petanque areas. The large clubhouse has a deck, lounge with log burner, table tennis, darts and a small library, and a licensed bar opens on weekend afternoons and at socials. Members own many of the cabins (baches) on site, and the club hires out a few baches to visitors alongside tent, caravan and motorhome sites. Free Wi-Fi covers most of the grounds, and a small shop sells ice creams.

Pines Outdoor Club
A peaceful members' club on a hillside overlooking Longhope at the edge of the Forest of Dean. It is convenient for Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and South Wales, and some members travel from further away. The club presents itself as a quiet place to relax nude in friendly company away from busy everyday life.
Pirna: Naturbad
The Naturbadesee in Copitz, the part of Pirna on the right bank of the Elbe, is a former gravel pit next to the town's campsite at Äußere Pillnitzer Landstraße. The regional tourism association for Saxon Switzerland lists it as a free natural bathing lake with a separately designated FKK area; its exact position on the shore is not described in the sources, so look for signs on arrival. The lake has a large sandy beach with a shallow entry that suits small children, a broad lawn for picnics, six beach-volleyball courts by the water, table tennis and play equipment, plus a kiosk and a small restaurant. Mobile toilets stand at both entrances. Bathing is at your own risk because there is no lifeguard. Fishing with a licence and private stand-up paddleboards are allowed, motorboats are not. The campsite operator gives the grounds' hours as 07:00 to 22:00 from April to October. Being on the edge of a town of about 40,000 and close to Dresden, it is a busy local lake on summer weekends rather than a secluded spot.
Piscines Bernat Picornell (nudist sessions)
Barcelona's historic municipal swimming complex on Montjuïc, built for the 1992 Olympics, which has run nudist swimming hours since 1999 under an agreement with the Club Català de Naturisme. Outside the summer season the indoor facilities are reserved for nude bathing on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, open to the public on a normal entry ticket.
Pite Ocean Beach
Pite Havsbad, sometimes called the 'Riviera of the North', is a large resort on the Gulf of Bothnia about 10 km south-east of Piteå. It has a kilometre-long beach of fine sand with shallow water that warms quickly in summer. The main beach is lively, with restaurants, a hotel, camping and activities run by Pite Havsbad AB. The naturist beach is at the far end of the sand. Piteå kommun's beach guide calls it Sweden's very first official naturist beach, and SVT reported in 2018 that it had held that status for nearly fifty years. There is no buffer zone between the naturist section and the textile beach, which has led to friction. In 2018 the resort asked to expand its camping onto the green area above the beach and to end nude bathing there. The municipality rejected the camping plan because it conflicted with the zoning plan for recreation, but it asked officials to review the naturist area's location and size. We found no later report that it was moved or closed.
Pizzo Greco
Pizzo Greco is a large naturist campsite on the Ionian coast of Calabria, about five kilometres from Isola di Capo Rizzuto. It is a wooded site with pitches, mobile homes and bungalows for hire, set a short walk from the sea. The site has 350 pitches, roughly 300 for touring units. It is run as a naturist village with sports options, a kids' club in high season, a bar, a beach bar, a restaurant and a mini market. The adjoining nudist beach is about 500 metres long and sits inside the Capo Rizzuto marine protected area. Access to the beach runs through the naturist village, which makes it more private than a public strand. Most guests are foreign tourists, mainly from northern Europe and Germany. The season runs from around Easter to October, though the listing's details were not confirmed on the operator's own site.
Plage de Kerler
Plage de Kerler is a broad, gently shelving white-sand beach on the south Finistère coast at Mousterlin, in the commune of Fouesnant, east of Bénodet and the Odet estuary. It runs along a coastal sand bar closed off by dunes between Mousterlin point and the Mer Blanche lagoon, and looks out to the Glénan archipelago. Kerler has been an official naturist beach since 2004. It is a family beach where part of the sand is set aside for nude bathing. Nudity is allowed from 1 April to 31 October, from 10:00 until sunset. Guides describe a signposted naturist stretch of roughly 1.5 km next to the lifeguard post, though one LGBTQ+ guide puts the nude zone about a 30-minute walk west of the Mousterlin car park. Look for the signs on arrival. The beach holds a Blue Flag for water quality and environmental management. In July and August swimming is supervised by the Finistère fire and rescue service (SDIS 29). Behind the dune, the Mer Blanche is a protected lagoon and bird area. Being Atlantic Brittany, the water is cool even in high summer.
Plage de La Redoute
La Redoute is the naturist area of Merville-Franceville-Plage, on the Calvados coast east of the Orne estuary, a short drive from Cabourg and Ouistreham. The long beach of Merville-Franceville is split into zones: a lifeguarded swimming beach towards the town centre, then a kitesurf zone, and finally, at the western end near the mouth of the Orne at the place called La Redoute, a stretch reserved for naturism. The nude area sits in front of high, attractive dunes that give shelter from the wind, and it is marked by signage and tall white posts flying the flags of the French naturist federation. It is one of very few naturist beaches in Normandy and is described by the regional tourist office as officially recognised. The big drawback is that swimming is banned here: currents at the estuary mouth are strong, and the beach is unsupervised, so most visitors come to sunbathe and walk rather than swim.
Plage de Lourtuais
The Plage du Lourtuais (also spelled Lourtouais) is a sheltered cove on the eastern flank of the Cap d'Erquy in Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany, inside the protected classified site of the cape. It is about 400 m long, with fine sand that has a pinkish tint from the local sandstone, and it sits below heath-covered cliffs of gorse and heather with no buildings in view. France's national tourism site singles it out as one of the few Breton beaches where naturism is possible. Only the left-hand part of the beach (looking out to sea) is used by naturists; the right-hand side is for clothed bathers. At low tide the sand widens into a large expanse, but at high tide the beach shrinks considerably, so check tide times. The water is clear and cold by Mediterranean standards. There are no facilities, and the steep path down keeps numbers modest. Cliff walks on the GR34 coastal path around the cape are an easy add-on.
Plage de Mateille
Plage de Mateille is the long sandy beach of Gruissan in the Aude, on the Mediterranean coast south of Narbonne, separated from the resort by the Étang de Mateille. The beach is a mix of textile and naturist zones: the naturist sector is a marked stretch in the northern part of the beach, identified on the sand by blue flags. The rest of Mateille is a normal family beach with a lifeguard post. The setting is flat and open, with fine sand, low dunes and lagoons behind, and almost no natural shade. Guides describe the naturist part as fairly wild and often less crowded than you might expect for such a well-known beach. The zone has had a municipal authorisation since 1993, and the blue flags make the boundary with the textile beach easy to see.
Plage de Pampelonne
Pampelonne is the 4.5 km sweep of fine sand on the east side of the Saint-Tropez peninsula, below the hill village of Ramatuelle and facing east over the bay. It is protected as a 'remarkable natural area', yet it is also home to some of the Riviera's most famous beach clubs, from Club 55 to Tahiti Beach, alternating with long public stretches. From north to south the bay is divided into sectors: Tahiti, Les Moulins, Les Tamaris, Patch, Les Barraques and Bonne Terrasse. By municipal decree, two portions of the bay are authorised for naturism: Gros Vallat, the large northern zone reached by the route de l'Epi, where nude and clothed bathers mix, and Matarane, in the Tamaris sector at the end of the chemin de la Matarane. Guides also describe a nude area in the middle of the more family-oriented Barraques sector, and Neptune Plage, a beach restaurant affiliated with the French naturist federation (FFN), welcomes naturists from April to the end of September. The beach is lifeguarded in season.
Plage de Pissevache
Plage de Pissevache (often spelled Pissevaches) is a stretch of wild sand beach on the Aude coast in the commune of Fleury, just north of the resort of Saint-Pierre-la-Mer. It lies between the Pissevaches lagoon, a small salt pond behind the dunes, and the La Grande Cosse campsite, with the Cabanes de Fleury naturist area further north beyond a short textile strip. The beach is long, flat and backed by low dunes, with fine sand and a gently shelving sea. The naturist section begins roughly 600 m north of the lagoon path junction, at a small white 'Zone naturiste' sign, and becomes more isolated the further north you walk. Nude bathing here has a long history: the commune authorised it in 1974, when access was linked to the naturist centre of La Grande Cosse, but that centre was sold in 2016 and reopened as an ordinary campsite in 2017, so today the beach is used by independent naturists. It is spacious and quiet; on a mid-August day in 2019 about a hundred naturists were spread out at wide intervals. Kitesurfers also use this coast and some visitors feel they are squeezing the naturist area.
Plage de Stagnolu
Stagnolu is a small beach of about 300 m of fine, faintly pink sand in the countryside west of Bonifacio, at the southern tip of Corsica. It sits in a shallow bay between granite hills and low dunes, inside the Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve, a short walk west of the busier and more family-oriented Tonnara (Tunara) beach. It is one of very few places in the commune where nudity is allowed: the authorised naturist sector is a marked part of the beach, shown on a map published by the Corsican tourism agency, and naturism is forbidden on the rest of the beach and everywhere else in Bonifacio. The setting is open and scrubby, with little natural shade, and the bay is used as a boat anchorage in summer, so expect some moored yachts. The seabed drops off quickly, which suits confident swimmers more than small children. Walkers on the coastal path towards Capu di Fenu pass along the shore, and the reserve rules apply, so stay off the dunes and take all rubbish away.
Plage de Tahiti
Plage de Tahiti is the northern end of the great Pampelonne bay, at the foot of the Saint-Tropez peninsula just west of Cap du Pinet, in the commune of Ramatuelle despite its Saint-Tropez address. It is a fine sand beach fringed with umbrella pines, alternating private beach clubs, including the long-established Tahiti Beach, with public stretches, and looks south down the whole curve of Pampelonne. France's national tourism site presents Tahiti as a full-service nudist beach with showers, toilets and a snack bar. The authorised naturist zone at the northern end of the bay is Gros Vallat, which the Ramatuelle tourist office lists as one of the two portions of Pampelonne where a municipal decree permits naturism; beach guides place it north of the route de l'Epi access and describe it as a large nude area with some clothed bathers. On the club frontages and the rest of Tahiti beach, swimwear is the norm.
Plage des Grottes
Plage des Grottes is the only real beach of Héliopolis, the naturist village on the Île du Levant, the easternmost of the Hyères islands off the Var coast. Less than a tenth of the island is civilian; the rest is a military zone run by the defence procurement agency and is closed to the public, so the beach, the village and the coastal path form a small, self-contained world. The beach is a modest cove below the village, with a sandy strip and rocks on either side, and it is described as the island's only sandy beach. Clear water and rocky edges make it good for snorkelling. It is reserved for naturists: the regional tourism board states that swimwear is not tolerated here, and a gate marks the entry to the naturist-only zone. National tourism material notes a municipal authorisation from Hyères dated 14 March 1978 covering La Plage des Grottes specifically. Elsewhere in the public part of the island nudity is broadly accepted, except on the port and around the village square, where a sarong or similar is expected. The other recognised naturist bathing spot is the rocky Bain de Diane. Expect a mix of long-standing residents, holiday-home owners and day visitors in summer.
Plage des Lays
Plage des Lays is a remote Atlantic beach in the south of La Barre-de-Monts (Vendée), on the long dune coast between Fromentine and Notre-Dame-de-Monts. It sits at the end of a 2.5 km track through the pine forest, with no buildings in sight, and is one of the few beaches in the Saint-Jean-de-Monts area where the official tourist office says naturism is permitted. The tourist office describes nude use as tolerated on the southern part of the beach; naturist guides say the naturist sector starts roughly 200 m to the left of the access path. The beach is a wide expanse of fine sand backed by dunes, with large tidal range typical of the Vendée coast; the water can be far out at low tide. Its neighbour to the south, Plage de la Parée Grollier, has similar status. The walk keeps crowds modest, though some visitors complain of voyeurs and say it is less suited to families than official family naturist beaches.
Plage Naturiste d'Arnaoutchot
The Plage d'Arnaoutchot is the naturist beach on the Atlantic Côte d'Argent at Vielle-Saint-Girons, in the Landes, directly in front of the Domaine Naturiste Arnaoutchot. The domain sits in pine forest between the Lac de Léon and the ocean. Like the rest of this coast, the beach is a long, straight run of fine pale sand backed by a high dune, with open Atlantic surf. Regional guides call it probably the largest and best-known naturist beach in the Landes. It is a supervised (surveillée) naturist beach, which in the Landes means nude bathing is officially authorised there. Lifeguards cover a marked bathing zone in summer: in the 2026 season, from mid-June to mid-September, 11:00-19:00 in July and August and shorter hours in September. Showers and toilets are listed. The Landes tourist board notes that entry is through the naturist domain and is subject to its rules, so the beach works best for guests of Arnaoutchot or for visitors who arrange day access. The surf and rip currents typical of the Landes coast make swimming between the flags essential.
Plage naturiste de Bonnieu
Bonnieu is a naturist beach on the Côte Bleue at Martigues, between the EDF power station at Ponteau and the fishing villages of Carro and La Couronne, west of Marseille. Unlike most French naturist beaches it is run by a club: the association Martigues Nature Soleil (MNS) manages the site, and in season it is reserved for members, with nudity required everywhere except for children. The shore is gravel and rock rather than sand, with clear water and rocky points on either side. The association keeps toilets, a pétanque and volleyball area and a small snack bar that often hosts themed evenings, giving it the feel of a family naturist club by the sea. The atmosphere is family oriented and the club's internal rules are strictly enforced, with permanent exclusion for serious breaches. The beach is not supervised by lifeguards, and dogs are not allowed.
Plage Naturiste de Jaunais
Les Jaunais is a pair of beaches on the western edge of Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), on the coast road towards Saint-Marc-sur-Mer, where the Loire estuary opens to the Atlantic. The main beach is a broad sweep of sand sheltered by a high dune, supervised in July and August and holding a Blue Flag. The naturist beach is the second, smaller beach to its east, hidden behind a rocky spur: the Saint-Nazaire tourist office states that this second Jaunais beach is reserved for naturists. It is a sheltered sandy cove framed by rocks, reached by a long flight of steps down the cliff, which keeps numbers down and gives it a secluded feel. Tides matter here, as on the whole Atlantic coast: at high tide the sand shrinks considerably. Reviewers report a mostly male crowd and a gay presence, alongside couples. There are no facilities in the naturist cove itself; toilets and a picnic area serve the main beach.
Plage naturiste de Keranouat
Keranouat (also spelled Kerannouat) is a long, wild beach on the south coast of Trégunc in southern Finistère, between Concarneau and Pont-Aven. It is backed by the dunes and ponds of Trévignon, a 300-hectare protected natural area where dune snails, green lizards, songbirds and ducks live, and on clear days the Glénan archipelago is visible offshore. The beach is a broad stretch of white sand; part of it is the naturist area, entered past a group of rounded granite boulders that screen it from the rest of the beach. The official Brittany tourism site lists it as a naturist and wild beach where naturists can bathe legally. It is unsupervised, and the sea is the open Atlantic, so currents and the tides need attention. The setting is quiet and natural, with no buildings on the shore; visitors are a mix of walkers on the coastal path, families on the textile section and naturists further along.
Plage Naturiste de la Batterie
La Batterie is a small naturist beach in Vallauris Golfe-Juan on the Côte d'Azur, on the coast between Golfe-Juan and Cannes, below the main coast road. It is not a single beach but a string of three small sections: a first area about 20 m wide reached through a passage under the road, then two narrow coves with fine sand to the left, and a further section reached by stairs. Most of the shore is large rocks and smooth pebbles, so reef shoes and a thick mat help. The water is clear and the view takes in the bay and the Lérins Islands off Cannes. The beach is looked after by a local naturist club affiliated to the French Naturist Federation, and France's official tourism site names it as a naturist beach tolerated by the municipality, frequented by Club Naturiste and Club Horizon members. The crowd mixes couples, families, older men and gay men, with gay men more at either end. A 2024 visitor counted about 40 people on a sunny weekday; Sundays get crowded.
Plage naturiste de la Giraudière - Oléron
Plage de la Giraudière is the Atlantic beach of Le Grand-Village-Plage on the south-west coast of the Île d'Oléron. It is about 3 km of golden sand backed by dunes and the pine forest that covers this part of the island, with no seafront buildings. The island's tourist office states that the northern part of the beach is reserved for naturists; beach guides place the nude stretch north of the village, towards the Passe des Sœurs and Passe de Trillou, well away from the main access. The southern end near the village is the busy, supervised section, with a first-aid post, a beach-access mat, surf and bodyboard schools, a bar-restaurant and toilets in season. This is an exposed ocean beach: there are waves most days, surf, kitesurf and sand-yachting run all year, and currents (baïnes) form with the tide, so swim only where lifeguards are posted. The naturist area itself has no facilities and is wide and uncrowded, used by couples, families and individual naturists in summer.
Plage Naturiste de la Lède
Plage de la Lède is a wild Atlantic beach in Les Mathes, south-east of the resort of La Palmyre on the Arvert peninsula, facing the open ocean and the Cordouan lighthouse at the mouth of the Gironde. It is a broad, gently sloping sand beach in front of a dune, backed by the Combots forest of tall maritime pines. The Royan Atlantique tourist office states that naturism is authorised on the stretch from beach access line 12 to line 15, heading towards Saint-Palais-sur-Mer. The beach is unsupervised, so there are no lifeguards, and this exposed coast has surf that draws surfers and bodyboarders, so swim with care. Access is free all year, and dogs are banned by municipal order posted at the entrance. A cycle path runs through the forest less than 500 m away.
Plage Naturiste de La Maïre
The Sérignan naturist beach, near La Grande Maïre at the south-western end of Sérignan-Plage (Hérault), is one of the longest-established naturist beaches in France. It sits between the Orpellières nature reserve, a protected area of dunes and lagoons near the mouth of the Orb, and two naturist campsites, Sérignan Plage Nature and Le Clos de Ferrand. Boards marked 'Zone naturiste' define its limits. The beach is wide fine sand backed by dunes, with a gently shelving sea, and it carries a lifeguard post in summer. It has a strong family character: many of the visitors are families staying at the adjacent naturist campsites, and there is a beach-volleyball court for naturists. Walking north-east you pass the textile Sérignan Plage campsite and its beach. A northerly wind can be strong on some days. Sérignan's beaches held a Blue Flag in 2019.
Plage naturiste de la Pointe du Banc
The Pointe du Banc naturist beach is at the southern tip of the beach of Saint-Germain-sur-Ay on the west coast of the Cotentin (Manche), where the long dune coast meets the Havre de Saint-Germain-sur-Ay estuary. It is the only beach in the Manche department where naturism is authorised. The naturist strip is about 300 m long, marked at each end by a sign, and lies south of the textile family area near the car park. The setting is wild: high dunes on a protected coastline, wide sand flats and the estuary behind. Being on the Channel coast with large tides, the sea retreats a long way at low tide, leaving a long walk to the water and, according to some reviewers, a faint smell from the flats; there are also some rocks, so footwear helps. The beach is run by the Saint-Germain Naturisme association and is open to everyone, with non-naturists welcome if they respect naturist etiquette. The crowd is relaxed and mixed, including families.
Plage Naturiste de Torreilles
The Torreilles naturist beach lies at the southern end of Torreilles-Plage on the Roussillon coast (Pyrénées-Orientales), in the area known as Les Rôtes, and is the last authorised naturist beach on the French Mediterranean before Spain. The naturist zone covers about 450 m of sand between the lifeguard post and the mouth of the Bourdigou stream, which separates it from Sainte-Marie-la-Mer to the south. The beach is natural and undeveloped, backed by low dunes, with clear water that deepens quickly close to shore. Visitors are mostly couples in their fifties and older, with some singles and families; on a mid-August day in 2019 there were around a hundred naturists. There are no signs on the sand itself marking the zone's limits, so textile beachgoers occasionally wander in, and the beach reverts to textile near the Bourdigou. Wind can be strong on this coast. A family beach with beach huts lies to the north of the naturist section.
Plage Naturiste des Saumonards
The Plage des Saumonards is a long, undeveloped sandy beach on the sheltered east coast of the Île d'Oléron, facing the Pertuis d'Antioche, just north of the harbour village of Boyardville in the commune of Saint-Georges-d'Oléron. It runs for close to 3 km along the edge of the Saumonards state forest, with low dunes and maritime pines behind it and a clear view across the water to Fort Boyard and the Île d'Aix. Because it faces the sheltered strait rather than the open Atlantic, the water shelves gently. France's national tourism site says the northern part of the beach is given over to naturism; a beach guide describes a stretch of roughly 500 m where nudity is tolerated, but places it differently (in the middle of the beach, or toward Gautrelle at the north-west end), so expect to find the nude area by sight rather than by signs. There is no road along the shore, which keeps it quieter than the island's resort beaches. The beach has no bars or beach clubs; bring water and shade. Reports of men lingering in the dunes are a recurring complaint.
Plage Naturiste des Vieux Salins
The naturist beach of the Vieux Salins is a section of the long Plage des Salins (also called Plage du Pentagone) east of Hyères in the Var, facing the Îles d'Hyères. From Port Pothuau and the hamlet of Les Vieux Salins the sand runs about 2.5 km east towards La Londe-les-Maures, with a pine wood and the old salt pans (now a Conservatoire du littoral nature area) behind it. The area near the port is wide, supervised and family-oriented, with beach restaurants and mattress hire. The nude section starts about 500 m east of the port and runs for roughly 250 m along the pines; it is looked after by a local association, the Amicale de la plage naturiste des Vieux Salins de Hyères (APNVSH). The beach is sandy with fine shingle in places, the water is calm and shallow, and seagrass often washes up. Beyond the naturist zone the beach gets wilder and quieter. Regulars, many of them couples, have their established spots.
Plage Naturiste du Petit Pont
Plage du Petit Pont is a wild Atlantic beach on the Vendée coast at the northern end of Bretignolles-sur-Mer, about 3 km north of the town, towards Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. It continues the long sandy shoreline north of La Sauzaie and is backed by a high, undeveloped dune that is private land and a Natura 2000 site, fragile and fenced in places. France's national tourism site notes that nude bathing is permitted here, and beach guides call it one of the best naturist beaches in Vendée. The beach is broad and long enough to find space even in mid-summer. Clothed and nude bathers share the sand, with naturists generally spread along the main stretch below the dune. There are no buildings or services on the beach itself, though a restaurant named after the Petit Pont is nearby. The Atlantic surf can be strong, and the naturist area is not supervised; some reviewers say swimming is prohibited, so check signs on arrival.
Platja de l'Aiguadolç
L'Aiguadolç is a small, signposted naturist beach in Vilanova i la Geltrú on the Garraf coast, about 2.5 km from the town centre, between Sant Gervasi beach and the rocky shore of Santa Llúcia. It is only about 150 m long and 30 m deep, a gently sloping strip of coarse golden sand with calm water, and it gets busy in summer. Unusually for Spain, it is looked after by its own naturist association: the Associació Naturista de la Platja de l'Aiguadolç (ANPA), a member of the Spanish Naturist Federation, promotes naturism here and works on maintaining and improving the beach. Naturist signage marks the beach, so nude bathing is the norm rather than a minority practice. It sits next to the developed seafront of Vilanova, so it is easy to reach and has summer lifeguards and showers, though some guides say services are mainly on neighbouring Sant Gervasi.
Platja de l'Home Mort
L'Home Mort is an isolated stretch of coast at the southern end of the Sitges municipality, on the Garraf coast south-west of Barcelona, well away from the town's built-up seafront. It is really two small coves divided by a rocky point: the Platja de l'Home Mort itself and the neighbouring Platja de Roses. Together they measure a little under 300 metres, and the Spanish Naturist Federation (FEN) describes the whole area as a naturist beach rather than a mixed beach with a nude corner. The shore is a mix of rounded pebbles and golden sand, the water is shallow and normally calm, and the seabed alternates between rock and sand, which makes it good for a swim along the edge. There is almost no natural shade. A small beach bar with a terrace operates in season, and a limited number of sunbeds and parasols are hired out. The railway line between Barcelona and Tarragona runs along the cliff directly behind the beach, so passing trains are part of the experience. Since at least the 1930s the cove has been associated with the gay community, and today it is widely known as one of the main gay nude beaches in Catalonia, while also being used by mixed naturists. It gets busy on summer weekends despite the awkward access.
Platja de la Bassa de l'Arena
La Bassa de l'Arena, also known as Platja del Nen Perdut, is a long, open sand beach on the Ebro Delta in the municipality of Deltebre, running north from the Riumar development towards La Marquesa beach. The delta tourism board gives it more than 3 km of length (its data sheet says 1,800 m) and an average width of about 40 m, backed by dunes, lagoons and rice fields. The beach is divided by use: the first 500 m at the southern end next to Riumar is a dog-friendly zone, the middle is a general beach where fishing and surfcasting are allowed, and the final stretch at the northern end, bordering La Marquesa, is a signposted nudist and naturist area. The Catalan Naturism Club calls it the 'platja naturista de la Bassa de l'Arena'. Water is shallow and the setting is flat and very exposed, with little natural shade. The beach is cleaned daily in season, but services are otherwise minimal.
Platja de la Devesa del Saler
The Devesa del Saler is the strip of dune and pine forest between the Albufera lagoon and the sea south of Valencia city, inside the Albufera Natural Park, with a chain of natural beaches running south from El Saler village: El Saler, La Garrofera and La Devesa. Its nude area is the first stretch of about 800 m of La Garrofera beach, starting where El Saler beach ends. Valencia City Council set up a nudist zone here years ago, opposite the lifeguard tower known as torre 5, with signs, a shower, Red Cross lifeguards and adapted access; in practice nude bathing extends along adjoining unsigned stretches within the park. The beaches are broad and sandy, sheltered from the westerly wind by dunes and pinewoods, with no buildings on the shore, and the wider La Garrofera beach runs for about 2.6 km. It is a popular spot for Valencians, close enough to the city for an afternoon visit, and the sea can have a moderate swell.
Platja de la Mar Bella
Mar Bella is one of Barcelona's nine city beaches, in the Sant Martí district two beaches north of Barceloneta toward the Besòs. At 512 m long and about 42 m wide it is the narrowest of the city's beaches, and part of it is set aside for nude bathing: the Espai de Bany Nu, a signposted strip partly sheltered by a low dune and rocks at its sides. It is the only nude area the city authorises. The sand is coarse and golden, the water calm and generally clean, and there is no natural shade. The rest of Mar Bella is a busy urban beach with a volleyball area near the Bac de Roda breakwater, a sailing and rowing centre (Base Nàutica) at the west end, and sports facilities by the Mar Bella sports centre on the promenade. The nude strip draws a mixed city crowd and is known as welcoming to LGBTI visitors; on July and August weekends it becomes cramped, while May and September are far more relaxed.
Platja de Llevant
Platja de Llevant is the long, east-facing beach on the narrow Es Trucadors peninsula that runs north from the main body of Formentera towards Ses Illetes and the islet of S'Espalmador. It lies inside the Ses Salines natural park, so there are no buildings directly behind it, just low dunes and juniper scrub. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of nudist tradition and gives a length of about 1.45 km with an average width of around 30 metres. The sand is fine and white and the water is usually calm and very clear, with seagrass meadows offshore; when the wind blows from the east, however, the beach catches seaweed and some swell, and many visitors cross the peninsula to Ses Illetes on the other side. Nudity is not universal: Spain's national tourism site says parts of the beach are used by nudists, and in practice the quieter stretches away from the restaurants at the southern access point are where most nude bathers settle. There is a lifeguard post in season and a handful of beach restaurants and bars, but no natural shade, so a parasol is essential. It is busy in July and August, mostly with day-trippers from Ibiza and visitors staying on Formentera.
Platja de Pals
Platja de Pals is a wide, 3.5 km sweep of golden sand and dunes on the Costa Brava in Girona, several kilometres from the village of Pals, facing the Medes Islands across a natural bay. It lies within the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter natural park, and is usually split into two named sections: Platja del Grau and Platja Gran. Nude bathing is concentrated on Platja Gran, in front of the site of the former Radio Liberty station, whose Cold War antennas stood here until some years ago; the station is the reason this shore escaped development. Pals' own tourism office says that area has traditionally been a nudist beach, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it. Water quality is rated highly by the Catalan Water Agency. The beach shelves steeply into the water and is exposed to waves, so take care swimming. A fragile dune area behind the beach is fenced off to protect it.
Platja de Pinedo
Pinedo is the first beach south of the city of Valencia, just beyond the port, the Club Náutico and the new mouth of the Turia. It runs south from the village of Pinedo towards El Saler, with rice fields behind it, and its southern part lies within the Albufera natural park. The northern end is urban, with a promenade, restaurants and bars as far as the second breakwater, but the beach becomes progressively wilder to the south. Valencia's official tourism board says there is a free nudist area on the southern stretch, between the dune area once occupied by the 'Casa Negra' restaurant and the site of the old Plexi factory, now demolished; as a landmark, local press place it near the Star drive-in cinema. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists Pinedo among the region's beaches of nudist tradition and gives a total length of about 1.26 km and a width of around 60 metres, with sand mixed with some gravel. The water is usually calm because the port shelters the beach from northerly winds. The nude area is used mainly by locals, with a mixed crowd of couples, single men and older regulars. A separate section of the beach is set aside as a dog beach during the summer season.
Platja de S'Alga
S'Alga, called Es Racó de S'Alga by the Spanish Naturist Federation, is the main beach of S'Espalmador, the small, uninhabited islet just north of Formentera's Es Trucadors peninsula. The islet is part of the Ses Salines natural park, which protects it from development, and has no roads, houses or shops. The beach is a sweeping crescent of white sand around a sheltered bay on the islet's south side. The FEN lists it as a beach of nudist tradition and gives it a length of about 1 km and a width of around 20 metres, with calm water and a medium level of use. In summer the bay fills with anchored yachts and day-trip boats, and many people on the beach arrive by sea. The FEN data mentions a lifeguard, but there are no bars, restaurants or other facilities, so visitors need to bring water, food and shade. Away from the boat landing area, nude bathing is normal and widely accepted. The dunes and posidonia seagrass beds are protected, and visitors are asked to stay on marked paths and avoid disturbing the dune vegetation. Because of its remoteness, it is one of the quietest naturist beaches in the Pitiusas outside the peak weeks of July and August.
Platja de s'Alqueria
The S'Alqueria coves lie in the Racó des Moro bay, about 2 km north-east of Cadaqués on the road towards the Cap de Creus lighthouse, just beyond Portlligat and Salvador Dalí's house. There are two of them, S'Alqueria Gran and S'Alqueria Petita, both within the Cap de Creus natural park and both listed by the Spanish Naturist Federation as beaches of long-standing nudist tradition. Neither is large. The FEN gives about 58 m for the Gran cove and 25 m for the Petita, and both are made of dark gravel, pebbles and coarse sand rather than fine sand. They face south-east and are exposed: the FEN notes strong waves and wind on some days, as the tramuntana regularly sweeps this coast. On calm days the rocky seabed and very clear water make the whole bay excellent for snorkelling, with the island of Portlligat visible offshore. The coves are next to a small residential estate, so they feel semi-urban rather than wild, and they get busy in summer. Walkers can continue along the coastal path to other coves such as Guillola, Codera and La Torta, or up to the lighthouse for views of Cala Jugadora and Sa Pedrosa. There are no lifeguards, showers or bars on the beaches themselves.
Platja de sa Boadella
Sa Boadella is a cove on the Costa Brava, about 2 km south-west of the centre of Lloret de Mar. It sits between the Santa Clotilde gardens and Santa Cristina beach and is backed by pine woods, making it one of the few undeveloped coves left in the Lloret area. Its most distinctive feature is a rocky headland joined to the shore by a narrow sandy isthmus, which splits the beach in two. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of nudist tradition, giving it a length of about 250 metres and a width of around 40 metres, with coarse golden sand and moderate waves. Spain's national tourism portal notes that rocks divide the beach and one side is set aside for nudists; the other part is used by clothed bathers, whose numbers have grown over the years. A seasonal beach bar serves fish and vegetable dishes, and there are toilets, showers and a lifeguard in summer. The FEN describes it as good for children. The El País travel supplement once picked it as one of Spain's best traditional nudist beaches. It is popular in July and August, when space on the nude side can be tight by midday.
Platja de Sant Simó
Sant Simó is the northernmost and least built-up beach in Mataró, the capital of the Maresme coast about 30 km north-east of Barcelona. The Spanish Naturist Federation describes the nudist beach as running from the Riera de Sant Simó stream to the area of the Hotel Castell de Mata, a stretch of roughly 1 to 1.1 km. The sand is light and golden, the beach is fairly narrow (around 20 m according to the FEN), and the water is usually calm. Like the rest of this coast, it lies between the sea and the Barcelona–Mataró–Maçanet railway, with the N-II road running just inland. It is a Blue Flag beach. Nudity is customary along this stretch, and a Catalan news map lists it among the Maresme's nude beaches alongside La Musclera and Ponent. The FEN rates use as high in summer, mainly by locals from Mataró and nearby towns rather than tourists. Facilities are fairly basic: there are showers, and bars and cafés are within walking distance, but the FEN records no lifeguard on this section. It is less dramatic than the coves of the Costa Brava, but it is an easy option by train from Barcelona.
Platja del Carabasí
El Carabassí is a Blue Flag beach on the Elche coast in Alicante province, between Arenales del Sol and Santa Pola. Although close to Alicante, Elche and Santa Pola, it is backed not by buildings but by a protected system of dunes and pine woods, with the Clot de Galvany and Els Bassals wetlands nearby. The beach is a broad strip of golden sand, about 900 metres long and up to 80 metres wide by FEN's figures, with moderate waves and views of the Santa Pola lighthouse and Tabarca island. The whole beach is free to use, but nudity becomes more common the further south you walk; the nude area is known locally as zone '0' and fills up at weekends. The Valencian regional tourism site lists a naturist area among its services, and FEN recommends it for naturist families. Raised boardwalks lead from the car parks over the dunes to protect them. In season there are lifeguards, toilets, footbaths, sunbed hire and a beach bar.
Platja del Riu de la Sénia
The Riu de la Sénia beach is the northernmost beach in Castellón province, at the mouth of the river Sénia where the Valencian Community meets Catalonia, in the municipality of Vinaròs. Vinaròs tourism presents it as the town's nudist beach. It is a short, narrow strip, around 100 to 150 metres long and only about 10 metres deep, made of small pebbles and gravel rather than sand, which keeps visitor numbers low. Waves are usually moderate, and the rocks at either side are good for snorkelling and watching fish. The beach lies within the natural area around the river mouth, isolated from the rest of the built-up coast, and has no services or equipment at all, so it attracts people looking for quiet. Note that the cove of Sòl de Riu on the Catalan side of the river (Les Cases d'Alcanar) is a separate beach.
Platja del Serrallo
Platja del Serrallo, also called La Platjola, is a long, open beach on the southern side of the Ebro Delta in Sant Jaume d'Enveja, within the Ebro Delta Natural Park. It is broad and remote: FEN gives about 5 km by 200 metres, the regional tourism board about 3.1 km by 110 metres. The sand is golden and shelves gently into the sea, and behind the beach lies a flat landscape of rice fields and lagoons. The Terres de l'Ebre tourism board calls it the most deserted, unspoilt beach in the area and one of the few places on the Catalan coast where naturism takes place in wide open space rather than a hidden cove. Nudity also occurs on the neighbouring Migjorn beach, which connects to Serrallo by a pleasant walk along the shore. There are no services apart from parking and showers; no lifeguards, bars or shade. Occupancy is low even in summer, and there are no bins in the park, so take rubbish home.
Platja del Torn
Platja del Torn is a natural beach about 1.4 km long south-west of L'Hospitalet de l'Infant, in the municipality of Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant on the southern Costa Daurada (Tarragona). The fine golden sand is backed by pine woods and low cliffs, the water is clear and the seabed partly rocky. At one end, the small Illot del Torn carries the remains of a restored 16th-century defensive tower. The whole beach is used nude. A 2023 Diari de Tarragona report put summer use at around 2,000 people in July and August, 96% of them without clothes, and called it the nudist space with the most users in Spain. The Associació d'Amics de la Platja Naturista del Torn was founded by four local families in 1988, at a time when the council and the landowner controlling access opposed nudism. It now has over 600 members, and the municipality has promoted naturism for several years. The naturist campsite El Templo del Sol sits directly behind the sand. In summer the beach has bars with a slow-food offer, sunbed and parasol hire, snorkelling routes, boat hire and massages.
Platja des Cavallet
Es Cavallet is a 1.2 km beach of white and golden sand on the south-east tip of Ibiza, in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, within the Ses Salines natural park. Dunes and juniper scrub back the beach, and the salt pans lie inland. It is one of Spain's pioneer nude beaches, often said to have been Ibiza's first official naturist beach, in 1978, and nude bathing is accepted along most of it, while topless and clothed visitors also come. The southern end draws a largely gay crowd, while guides describe the northern part as quieter and more mixed. The water is usually calm and clear. Occupancy is high in summer. There are sunbed and umbrella rentals, toilets, showers, beach bars and water-sports rentals, but no lifeguard is listed.
Platja des Peregons Grans
Es Peregons Grans (also written Es Pregons Grans) is an undeveloped beach on the south coast of Mallorca, in Campos municipality, between Colònia de Sant Jordi and the Es Trenc dune system. It has fine white sand, very clear turquoise water that stays shallow for a long way out, and a backdrop of dunes and pine wood, with views south to the Cabrera archipelago. Its smaller neighbour, Es Peregons Petits, is a 200 m cove listed by the Spanish Naturist Federation as a nude beach; the official Balearic tourism site describes Peregons Grans itself as a recommended nudist beach, and local guides say nude bathing is usual along part of the shore rather than all of it. There are no services of any kind. Banks of posidonia seagrass sometimes wash in and can make getting into the water awkward, and one reader report in the local press warns of a current in the bay. The beach is generally quieter than the busier coves nearer the town.
Platja Naturista de la Savinosa
La Savinosa is a Blue Flag beach on the eastern edge of Tarragona city, one of the few beaches on the Costa Daurada where nude and clothed bathers share the sand. It is about 350 metres long and 60 metres wide, with golden sand and usually calm water, set below a wooded slope between the city's Arrabassada and Llarga beaches. Tarragona's municipal coastal safety plan notes that the north-eastern part of the beach is the reference area for naturism, and that is where nude bathers gather. The Catalan Naturist Club regularly holds Naturism Day and other events here. Facilities are good for a nude beach: a beach bar, toilets, showers and footbaths, lifeguards in season, access walkways and assisted bathing with an amphibious chair for people with reduced mobility. Swimwear is optional; FEN encourages nudity but bikinis and trunks are also common.
Platja naturista Els Muntanyans
Platja dels Muntanyans is the long natural beach between the town of Torredembarra and Creixell on the Costa Daurada, in Tarragona province. It runs for about 2.2 km of fine golden sand sloping gently into usually calm, clear water, and is backed not by buildings but by the Platja de Torredembarra i Creixell nature reserve: the best-preserved dunes and salt marshes on the Catalan coast outside the Ebro Delta, part of the Natura 2000 network, squeezed between the sea and the railway line. A 400 m stretch of the beach is designated by the Costa Daurada tourism board for naturists, and it is on the Club Català de Naturisme's list of nude beaches; the rest of the beach is used by clothed bathers, families and walkers. The dunes are fragile and visitors are asked to keep to the marked paths and boardwalks, as uncontrolled trampling has opened many small tracks in the past. The beach has more services than most natural beaches in Catalonia: lifeguards, showers, footbaths and toilets in season, an amphibious wheelchair, and a 452 m sensory trail adapted for blind and partially sighted visitors. The wetland is also a well-known birdwatching site.
Platya de La Marquesa
La Marquesa is a wide, quiet nude beach in Deltebre on the north side of the Ebro Delta, inside the Ebro Delta Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve. It runs between the Riumar resort and the Punta del Fangar, a 410-hectare sand spit, and the Vascos restaurant marks the boundary between La Marquesa and the Fangar section. The sand is fine and the dunes behind it are among the best preserved in the delta; they even continue underwater as shallow bars, so the sea is calm and shelving. Lengths vary by source, from about 1.2 km (regional tourism board) to 4.5 km (FEN, which likely includes adjoining sand). The Terres de l'Ebre tourism board classifies it as a nudist beach and it holds a Blue Flag. There are no services besides the restaurant: no lifeguards, showers or bins, so take your rubbish home. Dogs are allowed on a lead. It suits couples, families and nudists looking for space and quiet.
Playa Caletón de los Cangrejos
Caletón de los Cangrejos is a tiny rocky cove on the north-west coast of Gran Canaria near Sardina de Gáldar, in Gáldar municipality. Enclosed by cliffs in an unspoilt area, it measures only about 50 by 25 metres and is made of rock rather than sand. Spain's national tourism site describes it as a small nude beach, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a nudist-tradition spot with low occupancy. It faces the Atlantic, so wind and strong waves are common; with surf, any wave can throw swimmers against the rocks, so only swim in calm conditions. There are no facilities, shade or lifeguards. It suits experienced visitors looking for solitude rather than a beach day.
Playa de Ballota
Ballota (La Ballota, also called Playa de la Mesa) is a shell-shaped beach near Cue in the municipality of Llanes, on the eastern coast of Asturias. Directly in front of it rises the islet of Castro Ballota, where yellow-legged gulls and European storm petrels nest, and the coastline around it is protected for its vegetation and landscape. The beach is about 350 metres long and 60 metres wide, of medium golden sand; at high tide the sand is almost completely covered. A powerful blowhole (bufón) nearby sprays during heavy swell, and the Boriza viewpoint above gives wide views of the coast. Spain's national tourism site describes a nude section, naturally separated from the rest of the beach by a small rocky barrier that runs into the water. Being close to Cue, it gets medium to busy use in summer, though less than neighbouring Andrín. Lifeguards are on duty in summer; waves can be strong and flags are used.
Playa de Benijo
Benijo is a wild black-sand beach in the Anaga Rural Park on the north-east tip of Tenerife, in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is about 300 metres of dark volcanic sand backed by steep green cliffs, with rock stacks rising from the sea offshore, and faces the open Atlantic: waves are big and currents strong, so swimming can be risky. The Canary Islands tourism board lists it as a nudist beach, the Spanish Naturist Federation includes it, and nude and clothed visitors share the sand. There are no sunbeds or parasols; a few restaurants stand on the road above. Some people camp on the beach even though it is not allowed. The tourism board's page has carried a notice that the beach is temporarily closed because of a landslide, so check current status before you travel.
Playa de Guayedra
Guayedra is a secluded beach at the mouth of the Guayedra ravine, a few kilometres south of Agaete on Gran Canaria's rugged north-west coast, below high cliffs. It is about 200 metres long, a mix of dark sand and large rounded boulders, open to the Atlantic, so it is often windy with strong waves. Spain's national tourism portal describes it as a nudist beach, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as well. Despite the effort needed to get there, the federation rates occupancy as high. There are no services at all: no lifeguard, showers, bar or shade, and there is a risk of rockfall from the cliffs, so keep away from their base. On calm days the water is clear, but swim with care given the waves.
Playa de las Covaticas
Las Covaticas (also spelled Cobaticas) is a long, wild beach on the undeveloped coast west of Bolnuevo in Mazarrón (Murcia), near the hamlets of La Loma and Cañada de Gallego. Spain's national tourism site gives it nearly 2 km in length and about 40 m in width, with golden sand mixed with pebbles and boulders, moderate waves and low occupancy, and states that nudism is common here. Local guides describe a natural, unserviced shore of shingle and sand of about 1 km of usable beach. It is also one of the few beaches in Mazarrón where dogs are allowed, so nude bathers share it with dog walkers. There is no shade, bar or lifeguard. The beach belongs to the chain of quiet coves between Bolnuevo and Puntas de Calnegre that has long been used for nude bathing.
Playa De Les Llomes De Reixes
Les Llomes de Reixes, also called Cala del Cuartel, is a small pebble cove in El Campello, north of Alicante, beneath a cliff topped by the ruins of the 16th-century Reixes watchtower, part of the old coastal defence system. It forms the northern end of Barranc d'Aigües beach, and the adjoining section is the municipal dog beach. The cove is about 100 m of rounded stones and gravel, with moderate waves and clear water over rocky seabed; there is a snorkelling route along it. El Campello's municipal website classifies it as a naturist or nudist-tradition beach, and the regional tourism board lists it as naturist. Use is low and there are no services.
Playa de los Alemanes
Area Brava, better known as Os Alemáns ('the Germans'), is on the A Mariña coast of Lugo in Foz, near the boundary with Burela and a couple of kilometres from Burela's Burelés area. Rather than one open beach, it is a string of small sandy coves between rocks, about 165 m in all, with pale sand and moderate waves. It is the most popular nude beach in A Mariña and is very quiet, tucked away from the road with no services. In 2018 Foz town council formally declared it a nudist beach by ordinance. FEN welcomes the recognition but criticises the move, arguing that designating some beaches nudist implies restricting nudity on others, which it says is contrary to Spanish law. Dogs on leads are allowed.
Playa de los Genoveses
Los Genoveses is a broad, undeveloped bay inside the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, roughly 2-3 km south-west of San José. The beach runs for about 1.2 km and is around 50 m deep, with golden sand, low dunes and a stand of eucalyptus trees behind part of it. The volcanic headland of Morrón de los Genoveses closes the bay at one end and is worth the short scramble for its cliffs. The seabed shelves very gently, so the water is easy for weak swimmers, although a strong easterly (levante) wind makes the sand unpleasant while kicking up decent waves. Nudity has a long history across the whole beach, but in high summer, when the bay gets busy, nude bathers tend to gather at the northern end or move on to small coves nearby such as Cala del Príncipe. There is no cleaning service or beach bar, so take everything back out with you. The bay has appeared in several films, including spaghetti westerns and an Indiana Jones film.
Playa de los Molinos
Os Muiños, also called Fortiñón or Saiáns, is a small cove on the open coast south of Vigo, tucked between the headlands of Punta Novío and Punta de Priegue in the parish of Saiáns. It looks straight out to the Cíes Islands across the mouth of the ría. The beach is about 120 m long and 60 m deep, with white sand, and it is sheltered from the wind more than most of this stretch. It is a mixed beach: nude and clothed bathers share the same sand rather than keeping to separate sections, and the crowd tends to be young. Because it is semi-urban, with houses close by, it fills up in summer and occupancy is high. The water usually has a moderate swell, so keep a close eye on small children. It holds a Blue Flag and, unusually for a nude-friendly beach, has a lifeguard, showers and a beach bar in season. FEN notes that mobile phone coverage is poor or absent down on the sand.
Playa de Medio Almud
Medio Almud is a small cove on Gran Canaria's south-west coast in the municipality of Mogán, between Puerto Rico and Tauro. It sits at the foot of a dry ravine below the main coast road, close to the resorts but out of sight of them. The beach is short, under 90 metres, and made of rounded boulders and gravel rather than sand, so it never draws the crowds of the sandy resort beaches nearby. Spain's national tourism portal describes it as a nudist beach with very calm water, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it too. In practice it is a locals' spot: naturists from around the island use it because it is an easy walk from the road and rarely packed. There are no facilities at all, no shade and no lifeguard. The sheltered position means swimming is usually gentle, and the rocks at either end are good for snorkelling on calm days.
Playa de Merón
Merón is a small cove at the mouth of the Merón stream on the Villaviciosa coast of Asturias, about 14 km from the town and part of the 'Jurassic Coast' known for its dinosaur tracks. A fossil trackway lies about half a kilometre away and can be reached along a path at the foot of the cliffs. The beach is about 200 m long and 50 m deep, a mix of gravel and golden sand, with moderate Atlantic swell that suits surfers. There is a grassy area behind the beach for lying out. It is remote and lightly used, and naturists have used it for a long time. FEN records a lifeguard in season, but there are no toilets or showers.
Playa de Mexota
Mexota (A Mixota) is a sheltered cove near Serantes in Tapia de Casariego, on the western coast of Asturias close to the Galician border. It lies between steep cliffs that block most of the wind, which is unusual on this exposed shore. The beach is about 250 metres long and up to 60 metres deep at low tide, with fine golden sand and moderate surf. At low water it connects with the neighbouring Serantes beach, so you can walk across from one to the other. Spain's national tourism portal calls it a nudist beach, the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it, and the Asturian naturist association ANAPA recommends it. Regional guides note it is not formally designated but has long been a meeting place for naturists. Occupancy is low even in summer. There is no lifeguard, no shower and no bar, only litter bins, and a campsite at Serantes is the nearest place for supplies.
Playa de Montaña Roja
Playa de Montaña Roja is a small cove at the foot of Montaña Roja, the red volcanic cone (171 m) that rises at the edge of El Médano in Granadilla de Abona, south Tenerife. The cone and the beaches around it are protected as a special nature reserve. The cove is only about 50 m long and 31 m deep, with pale golden sand. The water has a moderate swell, and this is one of the windiest corners of the island, which is why El Médano is known for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Its tucked-away position gives privacy, and the island's tourism board notes that many of the people who come here are nude bathers. Nude use also continues onto the end of the much longer La Tejita beach, which lies on the other side of the mountain. There are no lifeguards, showers or other facilities in the cove.
Playa de Pestaña
Pestaña is a small, steep-sided beach on the coast of Llanes in eastern Asturias, near the village of Naves, lying between the beaches of Portaquinos (San Antolín) and Portacos and immediately next to the well-known naturist beach of Torimbia. It is about 100 m long and 50 m deep, a mix of white sand and rock under high cliffs with striking views, and it faces open sea, so waves are strong and currents can form. There are no facilities and the path down is difficult, which keeps numbers moderate. Spain's national tourism board describes it, like Torimbia, as a nudist beach, adding that swimsuits are also fine, so expect a mixed but relaxed crowd.
Playa de Sartaxens
Sartaxéns is a tiny beach on the south shore of the Ría de Pontevedra, in the parish of Santa María de Beluso in Bueu, on the Morrazo peninsula. It is only about 50 metres long and a few metres deep, a straight strip of fine white sand and rock enclosed by wooded slopes, and it sits within a Natura 2000 protected area. The provincial tourism board, Turismo Rías Baixas, describes it as an ideal beach for nude bathing, and the Spanish Naturist Federation also lists it. Its small size and awkward access keep occupancy low. Water quality is rated good, though the beach can catch a fair swell. There are no lifeguards, showers or other services, and space is very limited, so it suits people who want a quiet, secluded spot rather than a long day with facilities.
Playa de Ses Canyes (Formentera)
Ses Canyes is a small sandy beach on the north coast of Formentera, a short walk from the resort of Es Pujols, between Cala en Baster and the Tramuntana shore. The official Balearic tourism site describes it as a pretty, unspoiled nudist beach, and notes that, as on most of Formentera's beaches, visitors can bathe nude. It is roughly 200 to 300 m long and narrow, with fine white sand in the middle and rocks and gravel at either end, and no vegetation behind. The water is clear and usually calm. There is no lifeguard, bar, toilet or shower on the beach itself, though bars and restaurants are close by in Es Pujols, and sunbed and parasol rental is sometimes available. It is quieter than Es Pujols but can still get busy in July and August.
Playa de Tapachuga
Tapahuga is a 350 m beach of rock, pebbles and grey gravel on the south coast of La Gomera, the closest beach to Playa Santiago. It lies in a steep, dry valley inside the island's biosphere reserve, and there is no development on it. The water is usually calm, but there are no lifeguards or services. It is the first of a string of isolated coves, with Playa del Medio and Chinguarime further east, that have long been used by nude bathers. The Canary Islands tourism board marks it as a nudist zone. Even in high season it is rarely more than about a third full, thanks to the awkward access.
Playa De Vueltas
Vueltas is the small town beach beside the fishing and ferry port of Vueltas in Valle Gran Rey, on the west coast of La Gomera. It is about 150 m long and 25 m wide, with dark volcanic sand and calm water sheltered by the harbour. It is an urban beach with a tourist office, bins and cleaning nearby, and it is popular with divers. Spain's national tourism site states that naturism can be practised in one part of the beach, but this is mainly an ordinary harbour-side beach used by families and locals; the valley's established nude beach is Playa del Inglés, about 2 km away at the other end of Valle Gran Rey. News reports have mentioned partial closures of Vueltas beach, so check its current status locally.
Playa del Barranco Ancho
Barranco Ancho is a small, wild cove on the undeveloped coast between Bolnuevo and Puntas de Calnegre in Mazarrón (Murcia), at the foot of the Sierra de las Moreras where the Rambla de Villalba reaches the sea. It is about 80 m long and 12 to 17 m wide, with medium sand and gravel and usually calm water. The Murcia regional tourism institute lists it as a nude beach in a natural setting, and local press counts it among the official nudist beaches strung along the 12 km coastal track from Bolnuevo, together with Cala Leño, Cala Desnuda and La Grúa. Because it is far from both Bolnuevo and Cañada de Gallego, it gets very few visitors. There are no services at all, so bring everything and take your rubbish home. The surrounding coast is popular with walkers and mountain bikers.
Playa del Charco
El Charco is a small natural cove on the coast north-east of Águilas in the Region of Murcia, within the Cabo Cope and Puntas de Calnegre regional park. It is roughly 100-160 m long, a mix of golden sand and rock, with moderate swell and clear water, set in an arid, undeveloped landscape of low hills and headlands. There are no services: no lifeguard, showers, toilets or bar. The Region of Murcia's tourism institute lists the beach as preferably nudist, and Águilas is one of the few Spanish municipalities that formally recognises nudist beaches; El Charco is the longest-standing of them, and El Rafal nearby was added later. The Spanish Naturist Federation also lists it. Visitor numbers are usually low to moderate, so it suits people who want a quiet nude day in a natural setting. Bring everything you need, including shade, as there is little natural cover.
Playa del Guincho
El Guincho is a hidden cove on the south coast of La Gomera, in the municipality of San Sebastián de La Gomera, about 10 km from the island's capital. It is roughly 200 m long and 30 m deep, a mix of gravel and dark volcanic sand, framed by rocky slopes, with clear, usually calm turquoise water. With no road and no facilities, it is quiet and naturists use it regularly; the Canary Islands tourism board calls it a favourite with naturists. It is one of a chain of remote coves on this coast, near Playa del Medio, Chinguarime and Tapahuga, which have a long tradition of alternative and nude beach life.
Playa del Inglés
Playa del Inglés is the long urban beach of Gran Canaria's main southern resort in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, running about 2.7 km south-west until it merges with Maspalomas beach and the Maspalomas dunes nature reserve. The northern end in front of the resort is a busy clothed beach with sunbeds, lifeguards, showers and bars. Nude bathing starts further south where the beach runs along the dunes: the Canary Islands tourism board says the nudist area begins after Playa del Inglés proper, and guides place the naturist core roughly between kiosks 3 and 6. Around kiosk 7, marked by a rainbow flag, is a well-known gay nude section. The sand is fine and golden and the water usually calm. This is one of Europe's best-known nude beaches and is busy all year, with a mixed crowd of couples, singles and older naturists.
Playa del Lagarto
Playa del Lagarto, also listed as Barranco Simón, is a small, isolated cove on the rugged north-west coast of Gáldar, Gran Canaria. It is about 65 m long and 20 m deep, made of rounded boulders and pebbles rather than sand. The water is very clear, which makes it good for snorkelling and diving when the sea is calm, but this coast is exposed: strong swell and wind are common, and there is no lifeguard. Spain's national tourism site describes it as a nudist beach in an unspoilt area, and it is usually quiet even in high season. Another nude cove, Caletón de los Cangrejos, is nearby in the same municipality.
Playa del Medio
Playa del Medio lies on the south-east coast of La Gomera in the municipality of San Sebastián, part of a run of three neighbouring coves with Tapahuga and Chinguarime, below the Tecina area of Playa de Santiago. It is about 300-350 m long, with dark volcanic sand mixed with gravel. FEN describes it as isolated and little used. The official tourism board notes that it is popular with nude bathers because the setting is remote and hard to reach. There are no bars, toilets, showers or lifeguards. Surf conditions vary, and the official page advises caution when bathing because of strong swell on some days. The three coves have long attracted alternative travellers and naturists.
Playa del Verodal
El Verodal is a small, striking beach at the far western end of El Hierro, in the municipality of Frontera, below steep cliffs. It is known for its reddish sand, mixed with dark gravel, which contrasts sharply with the cliffs and the deep blue Atlantic. The beach is about 150 metres long and narrow. The Canary Islands tourism board names it as one of El Hierro's two nudist beaches, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as well. Occupancy is low. The sea here is powerful: waves are strong and currents dangerous, and the national tourism portal advises against swimming. Signs from the town hall and the environment ministry also warn of rockfall from the cliffs, so keep away from their base. There is a small picnic area, and lifeguards are present at busier times.
Playa del Viejo Reyes
Viejo Rey is a wild beach on Fuerteventura's exposed west coast, beside the small village of La Pared in Pájara, where the Jandía peninsula joins the rest of the island. It is close to a kilometre long, of golden sand below dark rock cliffs, and faces the open Atlantic, so the surf is strong and the wind frequent. It is well known among surfers for a powerful break. The Canary Islands tourism board describes it as a reference point for surfers and for lovers of freedom and nudism, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of nudist tradition. Occupancy is low. There is no lifeguard and no showers on the sand, and currents can be strong, so swimming is often unwise; many visitors come for the scenery, sunbathing and surf rather than a swim.
Playa Diego Hernandez
Diego Hernández is a small golden-sand cove on the wild stretch of coast north of La Caleta in Adeje, south-west Tenerife, one of the few undeveloped beaches left in this part of the island. It is about 80 m long and 25 m deep at high tide, with more sand exposed at low tide, and clear turquoise water. Because no road reaches it, it is quiet, with an alternative crowd and a strong naturist presence; the Canary Islands tourism board marks it as a nudist zone. There are no facilities. Currents can be strong when the sea is up, so it suits confident swimmers best.
Playa El Asparalló
L'Esparrelló (also spelled El Asparalló), near the Montíboli area just under 2 km south-west of the centre of La Vila Joiosa on the Costa Blanca, is a gravel and coarse-sand beach of roughly 200 m tucked beneath cliffs. It has two parts: a small cove at the entrance and a longer strip of shingle between the sea and the cliff face. Whether you can walk between them along the shore depends on what recent storms have done to the beach, which shifts sand and stones around; at other times you need a short but rough path. The water is clear and shows the full range of greens and blues typical of this coast. There are no lifeguards or showers. The regional tourism portal of the Comunitat Valenciana lists it as suitable for nudism, and La Vila Joiosa's town council kept the nudist tradition at L'Esparrelló when it amended its beach ordinance in 2017. The Spanish Naturist Federation also lists it.
Playa El Charcón
El Charcón is a 325 m beach on the undeveloped north-west coast of Fuerteventura, in La Oliva municipality, between El Cotillo and Majanicho. The sand is white, scattered with stones both on the shore and in the water, and the beach is about 40 m deep. The water is usually calm, but it is a windy spot and is known for windsurfing. Spain's national tourism portal notes that nude bathers frequent the beach, and FEN lists it as a nude-tradition spot. Occupancy is low and there are no lifeguards or services.
Playa el Sombrerico
El Sombrerico and the adjoining Castillo de Macenas beach lie south of Mojácar on the Almería coast, beyond the end of the seafront development, where the coast road turns into a track towards Carboneras. FEN's page covers Castillo de Macenas, an isolated beach of about 1.4 km of rock, gravel and dark sand, named after the 18th-century coastal fort that overlooks it, and notes that it continues into El Sombrerico. Mojácar's municipal tourism site describes Cala del Sombrerico as a beautiful mix of volcanic rock and sand, a specially protected beach where naturism is permitted, deliberately left without facilities. Visitor numbers are moderate; wind can make the sea choppy.
Playa Els Tossals
Els Tossals (Los Tusales in Spanish) is a natural beach in Guardamar del Segura, in the south of Alicante province, just next to the mouth of the river Segura. Behind it lie the Guardamar dunes and their planted pine woods, and a wooden boardwalk crosses the dune ridge to the sand. The beach is long and golden, well over a kilometre by most counts, with moderate waves and low occupancy. The Valencian regional tourism board describes it as suitable for naturism and lists a naturist area among its services, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a nudist beach. The river outflow can make the water less clear than at nearby beaches, which is why many bathers prefer El Rebollo further along; that also keeps Els Tossals quiet. There are no lifeguards, showers or kiosks, so bring food and water.
Playa la Vega
Vega, also called l'Arena de Vega, is a 1.4 km beach of fine golden sand near the hamlets of La Vega and Berbes, east of Ribadesella in Asturias. Cliffs and dunes back the beach, a stream runs out across the sand, and the whole setting is protected as a natural monument. It faces open sea, so waves are often strong and the wind can be stiff, conditions that draw surfers. Nude bathing is common, especially in the western part of the beach; Spain's national tourism portal describes the beach as nudist, and the Asturian naturist association ANAPA recommends it. In summer there are lifeguards, showers and toilets, and there is a campsite nearby.
Playa Las Coloradas
Las Coloradas is a 230 m beach of dark sand and pebbles just outside Morro Jable, on the Jandía peninsula in the far south of Fuerteventura (Pájara municipality). It takes its name from the reddish cliffs behind it, which also give some shade, a rarity on this coast. The setting is undeveloped and occupancy is low. Nude bathing is the norm rather than the exception, and Spain's national tourism portal notes that nudism is practised here. The water has a moderate swell, and guides advise swimming only when the sea is calm. There are no facilities on the beach, though barbecue areas are near the car park.
Playa Mujeres
Playa Mujeres is the largest of the Papagayo beaches on the southern tip of Lanzarote, east of Playa Blanca in Yaiza, inside the Los Ajaches protected area. It is a broad bay of white sand, about 400 m long and 85 m deep, with calm, clear turquoise water and bare volcanic hills behind. Spain's tourism portal notes that one section is a naturist area: nude bathers mostly use the southern end and the small coves that link Mujeres with Playa del Pozo. The rest of the beach is clothed and it is one of the most popular beaches in this part of the island, so occupancy is high in season. There are no lifeguards, showers or bars on the sand.
Playa Nudista - Playa de Mareny de Sant Llorenç
Mareny de Sant Llorenç is a wild beach in the municipality of Cullera, south of Valencia, inside the Albufera Natural Park. It runs for about 2.5 km between Platja del Dosel to the south and the boundary with Sueca to the north. There is almost no building: a long line of dunes, some patched with fields, separates the sand from the land behind. The sand is golden and the surf moderate. It is Cullera's only authorised nudist area and is well liked by naturists. Facilities are limited but include boardwalks over the dunes and, according to the regional tourism board, lifeguard towers and first aid in season.
Playa nudista Almarda
The nudist beach at the northern end of Sagunto's coast is Malvarrosa de Corinto, next to the Malvasur development, close to the boundary with Almenara and Castellón province. Together with Corinto it forms about 3.2 km of shore, and it is one of the few sections of this coast left in a natural state, backed by dunes covered in Mediterranean scrub. The beach is a mix of sand and coarse stones at the waterline, so beach shoes help, although the seabed is sandy once you are in the water. The sea is usually calm and the beach regularly flies a Blue Flag. The naturist section is cared for by the Asociación Naturista Camp de Morvedre, a member of the Spanish Naturist Federation, and the regional tourism portal tags the beach as naturist. Facilities include a summer lifeguard, parking, footbaths and toilets, with a seasonal mobile beach bar mentioned by local press. A campsite has direct beach access. Occupancy is generally low.
Playa Nudista Ondarroa
Saturraran is a beach of sand and stones at the western end of the Gipuzkoa coast, in Mutriku, right on the border with Ondarroa in Bizkaia. It is about 300 m long and unusually wide at roughly 90 m, set between the mouth of the Mijoa stream and Saturraran point, and two large rock stacks stand on the sand; local legend makes them a pair of lovers named Satur and Aran. Waves break with real force and it is often windy, so it is popular with bodyboarders. The Basque tourism board lists a nudist area among the beach's services, which makes Saturraran one of the few Basque beaches where nude use is acknowledged officially; the Spanish Naturist Federation also lists it. The rest of the beach is used by clothed families from the surrounding towns, so expect a mixed crowd. Services are good for a Basque beach: lifeguards, toilets, showers and changing rooms, a picnic area and a large car park, with a campsite nearby.
Playa Paso del Salgo
Paso del Salgo is a small rocky cove on the north-west coast of Gran Canaria in Gáldar, on the stretch of cliffs around Punta de Sardina. It is about 100 metres long, made of rock rather than sand, at the foot of a cliff, in an isolated and unspoiled setting. Spain's national tourism portal describes it as a small nudist beach in a little-visited natural area, and a regional guide notes that nude bathing here is a long-standing tradition; the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it too. The sea is usually moderate but the area is windy, and the water is clear. There are no facilities at all, no lifeguard and no shade. It is a spot for experienced coastal walkers and swimmers who are comfortable on rocks, rather than a beach day with children.
Playa Sonrisa Hotel
Playa Sonrisa is a clothing-optional, adults-only boutique resort in Xcalak, Quintana Roo, on Mexico's Caribbean coast near the southern end of the state. The resort lies along the coastline of the Xcalak National Marine Park and has a dive school. It is close to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which is part of its draw. Clothing is optional, but guests must be covered in the dining area at mealtimes. The age limit is 18, and the resort is mainly for couples. Families may be accepted in July and August with prior approval. The directory listing gives six rooms. Other listings describe a beachfront setting, free snorkelling gear, kayaks and paddleboards, and a bike rental. Sources differ on whether there is a pool and whether meals are served, so the amenities below should be checked before any trip. The resort has no official website that I could find. Rates and booking should be arranged through the resort directly.
Playa Zona NUDISTA LA SALVAJE
Barinatxe, better known as La Salvaje, is a wide, open beach on the Uribe Kosta coast north of Bilbao, shared between the municipalities of Getxo and Sopela and framed by high cliffs. It is about 750 m long and very deep at low tide, with golden and darker sand, and strong Atlantic surf; it is one of the Basque Country's main surf beaches, home to local surf schools and clubs. Services include a multi-purpose building with changing rooms and showers, and lifeguards from 11:00 to 20:00 in summer. The Basque government's tourism site states that the beach has a naturist zone, and Sopela's tourism office notes that nudism is practised at one end, where an international nude race is also held each year. Guides place the nude bathers along the left-hand (western, Getxo) side of the beach, below the cliffs. The crowd is young and mixed, with many clothed surfers. Strong currents are common, so swim with care.
Playavera Hotel
Playavera is a seafront hotel in Vera, in Almería province on the Costa de Almería. Booking listings tag it as naturist-friendly, and it appears under the name Vera Playa Club on some sites. The hotel has 281 rooms, including sea-view suites, an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a waterslide, a hot tub, a gym and mini golf. Dining includes a buffet restaurant, a lounge bar and pub, and a seasonal beach club. The beach area of Vera is described in listings as a nudist-friendly resort area. Rooms are air-conditioned, and listing ratings are about 8.4 to 8.6 out of 10. The record's rule that nudity is required has not been confirmed; the hotel's own site was not opened, so check the hotel directly before arriving. It suits adults looking for a beachfront hotel stay rather than a dedicated naturist resort.
Pleasure Lakes Resort
Pleasure Lakes Resort is a private clothing-optional campground in the rolling hills near Sparta, on the western edge of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau. It caters to RV campers and tent users and requires registration with identification before a stay. Current information is limited, so confirm that it is operating and check its rules before visiting.
Pleschinger See
Pleschinger See is a bathing lake at the north-eastern edge of Linz, technically just inside the neighbouring town of Steyregg, which is why it is often mistaken for part of Linz. It is one of the city's Linz AG bathing lakes, set in a green recreation area of about 20 hectares with roughly 13 hectares of water up to 8 metres deep. A fenced-off FKK (nude bathing) area has existed at the lake since 29 May 1982 and today takes in the south shore, reached by a shoreline path. The rest of the lake is for clothed bathing, and the bus terminus sits conveniently between the two zones. Entry is free. The surroundings are lawns and trees, with snack stands, showers and children's play areas around the lake, and its location makes it one of the most popular nude bathing spots for people from Linz. Dogs are not allowed at the lake during the bathing season. Expect it to be busy on hot summer weekends.
Plötzensee
Plötzensee is a small, spring-fed lake of about 7.6 hectares on the edge of Berlin-Wedding, next to the Volkspark Rehberge. Strandbad Plötzensee on its south-western shore is one of the city's best-loved lidos, with an artificial sand beach of about 300 m, large lawns, a slide into the water and lots of sports and play equipment. Inside the lido is a separate, fenced FKK area, divided into its own lawn and stretch of sand beach, screened from the rest of the bath by a wall. When the lido changed operators in 2020 the nude area was kept, and it remains a fixture of the Berlin FKK scene. Because it is within a staffed, paid bathing site, it has full facilities: lifeguards, toilets, showers, changing rooms, a kiosk and beach chairs. The lake reaches about 7.5 m deep, and the state health office rates water quality as excellent, with a moderate risk of blue-green algae in late summer. The FKK area attracts a mixed local crowd, and visitors describe it as calm and unspectacular. Dogs are not allowed in the lido.
Plymouth Sun Club
A friendly naturist club, established for over ten years, that swims on the first Monday of each month at Plympton pool, followed by a drink at a local pub. It runs other events through the year and members attend naturist gatherings around the region. The club also shares local knowledge of beaches, clubs and festivals with newcomers.
Pohl dam nudist beach
The FKK-Strand Helmsgrün is the naturist shore of the Talsperre Pöhl, a reservoir of more than 4 km² in the Vogtland district of Saxony, near Plauen and Auerbach. It is run as one of the managed bathing areas of the Zweckverband Talsperre Pöhl, the public body that operates the reservoir, alongside six textile lawns at Jocketa, Gansgrün, Voigtsgrün, Gunzenberg, the Schloßhalbinsel and the water-sports centre. The nude area lies at Helmsgrün on the reservoir's shore and stretches for about 2.5 km, which the operator describes as one of the longest FKK beaches on any German inland water. Behind the shoreline is a lawn of around 10 ha with a bar, a playground, a beach-volleyball court and a large sun canopy; there is some sand at the water and woodland around a bay. A dog bathing spot sits at the wooded bay end of the FKK lawn, and a motorhome pitch is attached to the beach car park. Regional press has called the reservoir the Vogtland's main draw for nude bathers, used by thousands for decades, including older couples from neighbouring towns. Sailing regattas on the reservoir pass close to the beach. Open fires, including charcoal grills, are banned under the reservoir's user ordinance.
Point Impossible Beach
Point Impossible is a legal optional-clothing beach on Victoria's Surf Coast, east of Torquay towards Breamlea, at the eastern end of the long sweep of Torquay's back beaches. The prescribed nude area starts about 350 m south-west of beach marker 53W and runs about 1 km south-west towards Whites Beach, from the top of the first dune to about 100 m beyond low-water mark. It is a wide, exposed surf beach of fine sand, backed by vegetated dunes and coastal reserve. The surf is unpatrolled and there are rips, so swimming needs care. Locals call the Torquay nude beach 'Nudies'. There is no shade, and nudity is not allowed in the dunes, which are closed to protect vegetation and after past complaints about behaviour there. In 2023 the land manager found that the signs marked about 1.3 km instead of the gazetted 1 km and set out to realign them.
Ponderosa Nature Resort
Ponderosa Nature Resort is a clothing-optional family resort near Freelton, in the Flamborough area west of Hamilton, Ontario. Directories describe it as a family nudist resort that runs year-round. Accommodation includes campsites and guest rooms, including guest suites at the clubhouse. The grounds have a pool, a hot tub and an outdoor bar, and the calendar includes events such as pig roasts and sports tournaments. A property listing mentions volleyball and tennis courts, and the land borders conservation areas with trails. A property listing also says the community sets strict rules on guest conduct, and a news article notes that sexual behaviour is not tolerated there. Most of what is known comes from commercial listings and directories, so event schedules, rates and rules should be checked with the resort. The stored Puslinch location should be corrected to the Flamborough address before this page is published.
Ponderosa Sun Club
Ponderosa Sun Club is a long-established nudist resort in the farmland of Newton County, northwest Indiana, near Roselawn and about an hour south of Chicago. It was founded in 1964, and a second resort, Sun Aura, lies about a mile away, which has made Roselawn one of the best-known nudist spots in the Midwest. Ponderosa was long known for the Nudes-A-Poppin' pageant, held there every year from 1975 until 2019; the event is no longer running. Older descriptions call Ponderosa a family resort, but today it presents itself as an adults-only, clothing-optional resort for guests aged 21 and over, with no children allowed. The main facility is a swimming pool, and the grounds include an RV and tent campground where visitors can stay anything from a day to a whole season. The club publishes a schedule of events and special event weekends each year, along with campground guidelines. It opens from mid-May to mid-September, seven days a week during the day.
Port Nature Hout Bay Deluxe Apartments
Port Nature Hout Bay is a small privately run clothing-optional self-catering rental in Hout Bay on the Cape Peninsula, near Sandy Bay, Cape Town's best-known nude beach. It is not a resort: listings describe a one-bedroom apartment with a queen bed and private patio plus a separate cottage, each with a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, air conditioning and a wood-burning fireplace. Guests share a solar-heated saltwater pool. Listings say nudity is optional outdoors but required in the pool, and that guests of all ages are welcome. The property has solar backup against power cuts, fast Wi-Fi, an electric fence, an alarm and CCTV. The hosts share the exact address only after booking.
Port-Leucate Naturist Beach
Port-Leucate's naturist beach lies on the Aude coast between Narbonne and Perpignan, on the strip of sand between the harbour breakwater and the Grau de Leucate channel that links the Salses-Leucate lagoon with the sea. Roughly 1 km long, it fronts the naturist quarter of Port-Leucate, a peninsula of independent naturist residences and villages (Aphrodite, Oasis, Ulysse, Le Mas de la Plage and others) reached by bridges over the channel; the tourist office presents Leucate as one of the main naturist destinations in the south of France. The beach is fine sand backed by small vegetated dunes, with a few coves, and the sea is generally clean. Unlike most French naturist beaches it is reserved for naturists: clothed sunbathing is not expected here. It is supervised by lifeguards in summer, at a central post and near the breakwater by the Aphrodite village. The coast is very windy, with the tramontane blowing often, which also makes the area a kitesurfing and windsurfing hub.
Potomac Rambling Bares
non-landed club for naturists in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Maryland and Virginia areas
Praia da Adiça
Praia da Adiça is an officially recognised naturist beach on the long Atlantic strand south of Lisbon, in the municipality of Almada, just beyond the fishing settlement of Fonte da Telha. Locals also call it Praia da NATO, after the military installation on the clifftop above. The beach is a roughly 1.4 km stretch of open sand backed by the fossil cliffs and pine forest of the Mata dos Medos protected area, with no buildings at beach level. Almada's municipal assembly approved it as a naturist beach on 26 June 2015, which made Almada the first Portuguese municipality with two official naturist beaches (the other is Bela Vista further north). The legally naturist zone starts about 50 metres before the end of the dirt road that vehicles can use, and runs south from there. The beach has no infrastructure: no bars, toilets, lifeguards or shade, so you need to bring everything. Since 2019 the naturist association Alma Naturista has organised the Cross Almada Naturista here, an 8 km nude run on the sand, usually held at low tide. It is a quiet, spacious beach compared with the busy stretches nearer Caparica.
Praia Da Barra
Barra is a 750-metre beach of fine white sand at the mouth of the Ría de Vigo, on the Costa da Vela near Cabo Home in Cangas do Morrazo. It faces the Cíes Islands directly across the water and looks back towards Vigo, while the Morrazo peninsula shelters it from northerly winds. Pine woods run down to the sand, and the area is part of a Natura 2000 protected site. Barra is widely considered the best naturist beach in Galicia and one of the best on the Iberian peninsula; Spain's national tourism portal describes it as a nudist beach, and the Spanish Naturist Federation calls it both very nudist and very family-oriented. It holds a Blue Flag. Occupancy is high in summer. The water is cold Atlantic water with moderate waves and some wind. A summer beach bar operates nearby, but there are no lifeguards or showers on the sand according to the federation. Neighbouring Nerga beach, over a rocky headland, also has some nude bathers.
Praia da Barreta (Ilha Deserta)
Praia da Barreta is the ocean beach of Ilha da Barreta, better known as Ilha Deserta, an uninhabited barrier island about 11 km long in the Ria Formosa Natural Park south of Faro. It includes Cabo de Santa Maria, the southernmost point of mainland Portugal. A section of the beach was approved as an official naturist beach by Faro's municipal assembly on 28 February 2011, and it is on the Portuguese naturist federation's list of official beaches. The naturist zone is at the western end of the island, beyond the end of the wooden boardwalk that leads from the boat landing across the dunes. The beach is fine, pale sand with clear Atlantic water that is relatively warm for Portugal in summer. Near the landing there is a single restaurant, Estaminé, open since 1987, and in summer the main beach has lifeguards and parasol and sunbed rental; none of this extends to the naturist end, which is quiet and spacious. Because getting there costs a boat fare and some walking, naturists are fairly few, and you may share the sand mostly with clothed visitors walking along the shore.
Praia da Bela Vista
Praia da Bela Vista is Portugal's oldest official naturist beach, on the Costa da Caparica coast in the municipality of Almada, south of Lisbon. Almada's municipal assembly approved it on 21 February 1995. It lies on the long sandy strand that runs from Caparica towards Fonte da Telha, below the protected fossil cliffs, and is widely known as "Dezanove" (19), after the old numbered stops of the beach train that used to run along this coast. The naturist zone begins about 400 metres from the Casa da Praia restaurant, which serves traditional Portuguese food and snacks near the beach. The beach is open sand facing the Atlantic, part of a strand that runs for many kilometres. It is one of the best-known gay beaches in Europe and has a large gay male crowd, alongside straight naturists and couples; cruising goes on in the dunes and woods behind the beach, which some visitors will want to know about before choosing where to sit. The naturist association Alma Naturista occasionally holds nude yoga sessions here.
Praia das Adegas
Praia das Adegas is a small cove on the Atlantic west coast of the Algarve, immediately south of the large beach of Odeceixe Mar in the municipality of Aljezur, inside the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. It is one of Portugal's nine official naturist beaches: the Federação Portuguesa de Naturismo lists it as approved by the Aljezur municipal assembly on 19 November 2004, and it is the only official one on the Algarve's west coast. The whole cove is naturist, separated from the clothed beach at Odeceixe by a rocky headland, with tall dark schist cliffs behind fine sand. It is far smaller and quieter than its neighbour, and there are no buildings on it. The Atlantic here brings real surf and currents, so take swimming seriously. According to the federation, the beach is supervised during the bathing season and has rubbish collection.
Praia de Combouzas
Combouzas (also spelled Cambouzas) is a beach of fine white sand in the municipality of Arteixo, about 19 km west of A Coruña, next to the larger Barrañán beach. It is roughly 300 m long and 30 m wide, sheltered by dunes that are useful on windy days. The beach has a long-established nudist tradition, and A Coruña's official tourism site lists it as a nudist beach; the Spanish Naturist Federation does too. It is unusually well equipped for a nude beach: Blue Flag status, lifeguards, toilets, showers, a beach bar and access for people with reduced mobility. The surf can be dangerous for swimming but is good for surfing. It gets busy in high season. Arteixo is regarded as nudist-friendly, especially after the council dropped a proposed nudity ban from its draft beach ordinance in 2013 following objections from the federation.
Praia de Melide
Melide is a 300-metre beach of white sand at the northern end of Ons, the largest island of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, at the mouth of the Ría de Pontevedra. It faces east towards Sanxenxo and Portonovo, so it is sheltered from the prevailing Atlantic wind, and it holds a Blue Flag. The national park's own visitor guide calls Melide probably the most beautiful beach on Ons and notes that nudism is traditionally practised there; the Spanish Naturist Federation describes it as one of the first nudist beaches in Galicia. Occupancy is low because everyone arrives by boat and visitor numbers to the island are capped. There are no services on the sand. The island also has other beaches on its east side, and its campsite area is regarded by the federation as a free naturist camping zone.
Praia de Naturismo Barra Seca ES.
Barra Seca is Espírito Santo's only naturist beach and one of the eight beaches recognised by the Brazilian Naturist Federation (FBrN). It lies on the remote northern coast of the state, north of Pontal do Ipiranga in Linhares municipality and about 140 km from Vitória, near where the Barra Seca river reaches the Atlantic. The naturist area is small, about 200 m of beach, and is run by NatES, the Espírito Santo naturist congregation, which has looked after it since 1994. This is open ocean: the sea is rough and the sand coarse, so it is more a place to lie out and paddle than to swim far. What sets Barra Seca apart is the facility the association maintains: a shared kitchen, barbecue, fridge, fresh water, toilets and showers, shaded benches, and a camping area with power. There are no vendors, so visitors bring their own food and drink. NatES reports roughly 1,500 visitors a year, and the area welcomes couples, singles and families, with separate spots for first-timers, members, couples and families. Nudity is expected inside the area and photography needs consent.
Praia do Homem Nu
Praia do Homem Nu is the naturist stretch of Ilha de Tavira, the long sand barrier island of the Ria Formosa Natural Park in the eastern Algarve. It begins west of Praia do Barril and continues toward the Fuzeta inlet, giving several kilometres of open, flat golden sand backed by low dunes, with the calm, comparatively warm water typical of the Algarve's south coast. The name ('nude man beach') is tied to a local story about a shipwrecked sailor washing ashore without clothes. It was approved as an official naturist beach in 2004 and is on the Portuguese Naturist Federation's list. Because the nearest facilities are at Barril, the further you walk the emptier it gets; the area nearest Barril is where most naturists settle. There are no services on the naturist section itself, so bring water, food and shade.
Praia do Malhão
Praia do Malhão is a long, wild Atlantic beach about 5 km north of Vila Nova de Milfontes in the municipality of Odemira, inside the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. It is several kilometres of pale sand broken by dark rock reefs, backed by protected dunes and low cliffs with viewpoints. Only the northern end is naturist: in April 2019 the Odemira Municipal Assembly unanimously approved it as an official naturist beach at the request of the Portuguese Naturist Federation, and signs mark where the naturist section starts. The southern end, closest to the car parks, is the clothed, lifeguarded area. Because the beach is so long, the naturist section is spacious and rarely crowded even in August. There are no bars, toilets or shade on the sand, and the Atlantic is cold with strong currents and surf.
Praia do Meco
Praia do Meco, also called Praia do Moinho de Baixo, is a long Atlantic beach on the Setúbal peninsula in Sesimbra municipality, about 40 km south of Lisbon near the village of Aldeia do Meco. It has been the hub of Portuguese naturism since the 1970s and was officially legalised as a naturist beach in 1995, among the first in the country. Visit Portugal describes the signposted authorised naturist zone as running from Praia da Tramagueira to Praia do Rio da Prata, along the northern part of the wide sandy shore below eroded cliffs. The sand is extensive and the setting open, but the sea is rough, with deep holes and strong currents, so children need close watching. It is popular with families and hosted the official Légua Nudista run in 2013. The well-known Bar do Peixe, open since 1992, burned in 2021 and reopened in 2024 a few metres from its old site.
Praia Massarandupió
Massarandupió is Bahia's official naturist beach, on the Linha Verde coast about 93 km north of Salvador in Entre Rios municipality. The Entre Rios council declared it a naturist area in 1999, and it is run by the local naturist association (Amanat). The setting is classic northeast Brazil: warm water, a wide sand beach lined with coconut palms, dunes behind, and small freshwater streams running down to the sea. The area is also a sea-turtle nesting zone within an environmental protection area. The naturist strip is about 2 km long, though most visitors use the first 800 m or so. Between the clothed beach and the naturist strip there is a transition zone where nudity is optional, useful for mixed groups. Inside the naturist area, being clothed is not allowed and municipal rules forbid photographing people without consent, sexual behaviour and motor vehicles. Simple beach shacks serve seafood, moquecas and drinks on both the clothed and naturist sides. The village on the approach road has pousadas, hostels and small shops. Entry is free and the beach is open every day; in summer and on Saturdays security staff manage the flow of visitors.
Praia Pedra Altas
Pedras Altas is a small, sheltered beach in Palhoça, on the mainland coast about 30 km south of Florianópolis, beyond the Enseada de Brito area. It is one of Santa Catarina's three naturist beaches listed by the Brazilian Naturist Federation, and its naturist group dates from 1994. The beach is split in two, with rocks and vegetation separating a clothed side from the naturist side. The water is unusually calm for the Santa Catarina coast, with little or no surf, which makes it suitable for children and easy swimming. Both sides have a bar and restaurant. The naturist side also has a small, rustic pousada, a camping area and its own parking, so it works for an overnight stay as well as a day trip. Because the approach is difficult, the beach stays quiet compared with Praia do Pinho or Galheta, and it draws mainly regulars, couples and families. Some reports say there are separate spots for unaccompanied visitors and for couples and families.
Prairie Haven
Prairie Haven is a member-run nudist club in the countryside near Scranton, in Osage County, about 20 miles south of Topeka in eastern Kansas. Its website describes it as a quaint nudist camp in the heart of Kansas, and it is affiliated with AANR. It has been operating for decades: a 2000 University of Kansas student newspaper article already listed it among the nudist camps near Topeka. The club's website has pages for visiting, activities and members, but details of its facilities, camping, opening season and visitor fees are not published in a form that could be read for this page. Contact the club before planning a visit and ask what is available.
Prested Hall Naturist Swim
Naturist sessions at the health club of Prested Hall, a country house hotel at Feering near Colchester, on the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 6pm to 9pm. Food can be ordered until 8:30pm. Prices are modest for singles and couples. A first visit must be arranged in advance with the health club manager.
PSHS Inc.
PSHS Inc. is a naturist club in United States. Member facilities typically include social areas, swimming, and clothing-optional grounds. Confirm current membership and guest policies before visiting.
Purple Peacock Resort
Purple Peacock RV Resort is a privately run, adults-only RV park on US Highway 84 east of Palestine in East Texas. It is not billed as a nudist resort: clothing is optional in designated parts of the grounds, while the rest of the park works like a normal RV park. Local TV coverage describes it as a gated, members-only private community, and its arrival drew mixed reactions from neighbours. Directory listings show around 29 back-in and pull-through sites with full electric, water and sewer hookups, suitable for rigs up to about 60 feet, plus a dump station, showers and laundry. Facilities include a pool, a hot tub, deck areas and a dance club, and the park runs organised events. It suits RV travellers who want a social, adults-only setting rather than traditional family naturism. Reviewers on directory sites rate it highly.
Racó del Conill
Racó del Conill is a pair of small coves between cliffs on the coast of La Vila Joiosa (Villajoyosa), about 3 km from the town centre and roughly 4 km from Benidorm, though it feels far removed from it. A tongue of rock splits it into two sections; the shore is rock and pebble, surrounded by pines and vertical rock walls, and the sea bed is excellent for snorkelling and diving. Waves can be strong. It is one of the best-known nudist coves on the Costa Blanca and has formal recognition: since May 2021, Article 60 of La Vila Joiosa's beach ordinance classes it as a cove of recommended nudist use, and the Valencian regional tourism board describes it as a naturist area. The municipality has added signs promoting its naturist character. Swimwear is not banned, and naturists say growing numbers of clothed visitors threaten its identity. A small memorial at the viewpoint honours a local naturist who cared for the cove for many years.
Renesse Strand
The Renesse nude beach is on the North Sea coast of Schouwen-Duiveland in Zeeland. It is west of the resort of Renesse toward Nieuw-Haamstede, between the beach entrances Watergat and Duinhoevepad, behind the Verklikkerduinen nature area. Nude recreation is officially allowed between beach poles 6.94 and 7.99, a signposted stretch of about 1 km. In practice people stay nude up to around pole 8.99, except near the busy beach entrance at 7.99. The beach is unusually wide, about 600 m, sand with no breakwaters and a gently sloping seabed. A dangerous sandbank off the nude section floods at high tide, and many warning signs mark it. The low dunes on the landward side can also be used, but parts are closed in the breeding season for plovers and oystercatchers. There are no facilities on the nude section. Pavilion De Zwaluw is about 340 m east at Watergat. Clothed visitors often use the waterline in front of the nude area. Renesse itself is known as a resort for young people, but the nude stretch is quiet. Dogs are allowed on a leash.
Renova Hot Springs
Renova Hot Springs is a set of primitive soaking pools on a side channel of the Jefferson River, about 10 miles south of Whitehall in southwest Montana, with views of the Tobacco Root and Highland mountains. Hot water seeps up through the riverbed and mixes with the cold river inside small rock-walled pools that volunteers rebuild each year, so temperatures vary from pool to pool and from week to week; one 2024 visitor measured the coolest pool at about 109°F, and the seeps can be much hotter close to the source, so test before getting in. The setting is a gravel and cobble river channel below a low bluff, with willows and open sagebrush country around. There are no buildings, signs, toilets or lighting. The pools are usable only when the river is low: in spring, snowmelt usually submerges them entirely, and the reliable season is midsummer through fall. Clothing-optional soaking is the local custom, and the pools draw a mix of locals and travellers in the warmer months. It is free and has no attendant.
Residence Adam & Eve
Residence Adam & Eve is a clothing-optional guest house in Orient Bay on the French side of Saint Martin, inside the gated Orient Bay park. It is a four-star property with seven accommodations: five studio apartments, two luxury suites and a villa for groups. Sources differ on the walk to the beach, from about 300 metres to under 1,500 metres, with the naturist section of Orient Bay beach nearby. The grounds include a pool, a hot tub, a gym and a bar. Nudity is optional around the pool and jacuzzi, and the property is 18 and over, so children are not allowed. Breakfast is not included in the room rate but can be ordered the day before. Check-in is from 3 pm and rooms are vacated by 10 am. Reviewers on a travel site describe the hosts as welcoming and the setting as quiet and private. Rates and availability were not found, so check the official site or a booking platform.
Resort Naturista Grottamiranda
Resort Naturista Grottamiranda is a purely naturist holiday resort in the countryside of Serranova, in the Contrada Grottamiranda near Carovigno, in the Apulia region of southern Italy. The resort is set among ancient olive trees, about three kilometres from a nature reserve and seven kilometres from a naturist beach, and it is away from mass tourism. It has a small number of apartments, usually described as studios with their own terrace, ranging from about 15 to 35 square metres. The grounds include a pool with hot and cold baths and a garden terrace. The resort says guests live nude, and its wellness offer includes a sauna set in a natural grotto. It is open from May to October. Belgian federation listings give members a 5% discount on stays.
Ribble Valley Club
A club on 4.5 acres of woodland and lawns at Clayton-le-Dale, central to Preston, Burnley, Bolton and the M6. It has a modern cedarwood clubhouse with table tennis and snooker, a fitted kitchen, a hard court for miniten, volleyball and badminton, a petanque court, and a covered filtered pool with sauna. A sandpit, swings and climbing frame cater for children, and there is mains water, electricity and parking.

Richmond Sauna is a privately run, clothing-optional sauna and guesthouse on Dingley Road in rural Richmond, central Maine, near the Kennebec River between Augusta and Brunswick. It has taken guests since 1976 and describes its clientele as a diverse community from many lifestyles; gay travel guides also list it. The main draw is its wood-fired, Finnish-style saunas. You can use the community sauna or book a semi-private sauna room. A large outdoor hot tub for about ten people and a heated outdoor swimming pool, with a lawn for sunbathing in summer, complete the facilities. Clothing is optional throughout. For overnight stays, six guest rooms are let in a restored 19th-century farmhouse on a room-only basis, with a shared kitchen; room guests get the community sauna, hot tub and pool included. House rules are strict about privacy: no photography, and no phones, cameras or tablets near the pool, sauna or hot tub. Alcohol and pets are not allowed.
Ridgewood Sun Club
A members' club on a wooded site near Clevedon with sunbathing lawns and patio, a miniten court, a showers and toilet block, a club pavilion and a splash pool. British Naturism members can visit on its 'Open Summer Sundays' visitor days; check the club website for dates. The site is a short drive from the M5 and the Severn estuary coast.
Riva Bella Naturiste Thalasso & Spa Resort
Riva Bella is a large four-star naturist holiday village on the flat east coast of Corsica at Linguizzetta, near Aléria, roughly halfway between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio. Family-run and a member of the France 4 Naturisme group since 1989, it occupies a protected estate of 70 to 79 hectares between a long sandy beach, with shallow, clear water, and a coastal lagoon. Naturism applies across the domain from 1 April to 5 November; outside that period the site stays open but is not naturist. There are 199 pitches of about 100 m² for tents, caravans and motorhomes, with electric and water hookups, plus a range of rentals: villas, chalets, mobile homes, lodges and small two-person cabins. Facilities include a seaside restaurant with half or full board, a beach bar, a grocery shop, a hairdresser and free fibre Wi-Fi. Its most distinctive feature is a 500 m² seafront thalassotherapy and spa centre with massages, beauty treatments, hammam, sauna, hot tub and a gym, where nudity is allowed but not compulsory during the naturist season. Families are well catered for, with a children's club in July and August, a playground and a 10-hectare animal park with llamas, donkeys and pigs. The site holds the European Ecolabel.
River Island Nature Retreat
Current status: River Island is no longer a naturist resort. It is now K2 River Island Nature Retreat, offering cabins, glamping and riverside camping, and the current listing does not mention naturism. River Island is on the Wollondilly River near Mittagong in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. It was set up in 1984 by Colin and Katina Sell and was long described as Australia's oldest nudist resort. After Colin Sell's death, the property was sold to a property syndicate led by developer Kurt Braune, reported at just under $4.75 million. Braune said clothing would become mandatory, framing the change as making the property family-friendly. The press reports I could read do not give the exact sale date, and I did not open the full article, which returned an error. The rebrand appears recent, with a listing promotion that has a booking deadline in August 2026. The reason for the change is the new owners' stated plan, not any council, law or regulator decision in my sources.
River Ridge Campground
A men-only clothing-optional campground for guests over 21, on the Licking River in Robertson County, Northern Kentucky. It has RV sites with full hookups, air-conditioned bunkhouses and cabins, a saltwater pool, hot tubs, a camp store and kayak rentals, plus themed weekends through the season. It is one of the few naturist venues in a state with strict public-nudity laws.
River's Edge Campground
The River's Edge is a gay-owned, clothing-optional campground and resort for LGBTQ adults at Dewy Rose in rural Elbert County, northeast Georgia, about 110 miles east of Atlanta. It has long been one of the best-known gay campgrounds in the state. Its clientele is mostly men, though women are welcome, and it describes itself as a secure, welcoming sanctuary where clothing is optional across the property. The private grounds cover more than 65 acres of woods with trails. There are over 175 places to stay: about 30 cabins, 44 RV sites with hookups, 38 electric tent sites and 71 non-electric tent sites. Shared facilities include a heated in-ground pool and hot tub, a clubhouse, a pavilion, a bathhouse, a community fire pit, an RV dump station, free Wi-Fi and EV charging. A cafe runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The campground hosts themed events through the year, including in winter.
Riviera Naturist Resort
Riviera Naturist Resort is a nudist resort on Guernsey Road in Pace, Santa Rosa County, about 15 minutes from Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle. It offers basic private cabins and RV space with a pool, hot tub and sauna, and has a laid-back atmosphere. Current details are scarce online, so confirm rates and rules directly.
Rock Haven Lodge
Rock Haven Lodge is a family nudist park on 30 acres of woodland about ten minutes off Interstate 24 near Murfreesboro, southeast of Nashville. It has been running for more than 50 years and is affiliated with AANR. It is explicitly a nudist park, not a clothing-optional one, so nudity is expected on the grounds when the weather allows. The park aims to welcome couples, families and single women. Facilities are extensive for a club of its size: a swimming pool and hot tub, tennis, pickleball and volleyball courts, shuffleboard, petanque, horseshoes, a children's playground, and a clubhouse with billiards, darts and table tennis. There is also a small shop and a snack bar. Visitors can rent units, park an RV on a site with hookups or pitch a tent. The park is open to visitors from 15 April to the end of September, and members can use it all year.
Rock Lodge Club
Rock Lodge Club is a member-owned nudist club in the Stockholm section of Hardyston Township, Sussex County, in the New Jersey Highlands about 40 miles from Manhattan. Founded in 1932 and run as a cooperative since 1938-39, it is regarded as one of the first permanent nudist communities in the United States, and its landmark Stone House dates from 1907. The grounds cover roughly 145 wooded acres around a spring-fed lake with a small sandy beach, used for swimming, kayaking, sailing and fishing. Other facilities include a hot tub and sauna, tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball, badminton and bocce, a recreation room, and marked hiking trails through the surrounding forest. Members can rent rooms and cabins by the day, week or season, and some cabins are owned by members. The club presents itself as family-friendly and inclusive of all ages, orientations and gender identities, and stresses that social nudity is non-sexual: it has zero tolerance for sexual activity in public areas and for unwanted comments about people's bodies. Weekend events and themed days run through the summer.
Rømø Sønderstrand
Sønderstrand is the southern beach on the west side of Rømø, the Wadden Sea island linked to the Jutland mainland by a causeway in Tønder Municipality. It is one of the widest sand beaches in Europe. At low tide, a vast flat plain of sand runs out to the North Sea. Sønderstrand is quieter than Lakolk, the island's main family beach further north, and is known above all for wind sports such as kitesurfing and blokarting. The local tourism organisation states that nude bathing is also allowed here. Danske Naturister calls Sønderstrand the official nude bathing beach on Rømø. Because the beach is so large, nude bathers can easily find space away from the kite areas. Nudity is also common, though unofficial, on the car-free part near Lakolk. The beach is very exposed, with no shade, and the wind is often strong. Check the tide tables before walking far out, because incoming water can cut off sandbanks. No lifeguard cover was found for Sønderstrand. Supervised bathing in high season is at Lakolk.
Rooster Rock State Park
Rooster Rock State Park sits on the south bank of the Columbia River at the western mouth of the Columbia River Gorge, about 25 miles east of Portland, named after the basalt pillar rising beside the river. The park has around three miles of river beach, picnic shelters, disc golf and a flat riverside trail. The eastern part of the park is a designated clothing-optional beach, often cited as the first officially designated one in the US; Oregon State Parks says it is separated by design so it cannot be seen from the clothing-required areas. Visitors reach it by heading east past the last restroom building and down steps to the sandy, willow-fringed riverbank. The beach is river sand and driftwood with gorge cliffs across the water in Washington, and the river is cold, wide and has a real current. Beach width changes with river levels: in high water, usually late spring and early summer, foot access to the nude beach can be limited. Summer weekends are busy with a mixed crowd of Portland locals, couples and groups.
Roppestad fristrand
Roppestad is a lakeside naturist beach and free camping area on the east shore of Farris, the large freshwater lake north of Larvik in Vestfold. The Norwegian Naturist Federation lists it as an official naturist beach inside a public recreation area (friområde). This is not a sea beach. It is a small sandy shore with smooth rock slabs (svaberg) running into the lake, backed by grass and woodland, and the water is fresh and calm. The shallow sand suits small children. Naturists are allowed to camp free of charge for up to two days on the naturist part of the site. The wider Roppestad area is also a popular swimming and walking spot for clothed locals, and campervan guides describe the site as divided into a naturist section and a clothed section. There is a large shared barbecue area. A caretaker has been reported on the naturist side in recent seasons. Because the lake is inland, the water warms up earlier in summer than the Skagerrak coast, and you get shelter from sea wind.
Rotota Sun Club
Rotota Sun Club is a volunteer-run naturist club, affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation, on about 8 hectares of land on the shore of Lake Ohakuri, a Waikato River hydro lake in the geothermal country between Rotorua and Taupō. It describes itself as a club run by naturists for naturists, and the setting is its main draw: members and visitors swim, fish and kayak in the lake, walk tracks through regenerating native bush, and soak in geothermal water, with a hot stream where glowworms can be seen and a hot waterfall to stand under, as well as a hot tub for evening stargazing. The ground is off the grid, with solar power for lighting and LPG for cooking and hot showers, so expect a rustic, back-to-nature stay rather than resort comforts. There is a large club room with a book exchange, table tennis, darts and a pool table, shared kitchens and showers, campsites, club caravans, cabins and a bach for hire. The nearest café and store are at Reporoa, about 25 km away, and Rotorua and Taupō are around 50 km each. Orakei Korako, Waikite Valley hot springs and Huka Falls are within easy reach.

Running Bare Nudist Retreat
Nudist retreat on 720 acres of fenced bushland about 20 km south of Narrabri in north-west New South Wales. Facilities include a swimming pool, tennis, petanque, darts, miniten and badminton, with bushwalks across the property and outdoor cookouts at weekends. Permanent, semi-permanent and casual sites all have power and water, and about two dozen people live on site. First-time and experienced nudists are both welcome.
Ryedale Naturist Club
A naturist club, active for over 30 years, holding a fortnightly swim and sauna at Derwent Pool in Norton, Malton, on alternate Sundays from 3pm to 5pm. Newcomers to naturism and visitors to the area are welcome, but new visitors must email the club first and will be refused if they just turn up. Photo ID and proof of address are needed.
Sahara beach
Sahara is a sandy bay on the wooded San Marino peninsula at Lopar, the low, sandy north-eastern tip of the island of Rab. The Rab tourist board calls it the best-known naturist beach in Lopar, and the Lopar board lists it with Ciganka and Stolac as the area's three naturist beaches. Unlike Stolac, a short way south-east along the same coast, Sahara is not nude-only: nudity is allowed but not required, so a few clothed bathers mix in. The whole cove is used for nude bathing; there is no separate textile zone. The beach is fine sand with patches of low scrub behind it and some natural shade from vegetation, and the water is clear. It is completely undeveloped, with no bar, toilets or sunbed rental, which keeps numbers down compared with the busy Rajska plaža (Paradise Beach) in the village. Between Sahara and Stolac lies a small bay called Pod pećine that is set aside for dogs; dogs are not meant to swim at Sahara itself. Expect more people in July and August, many arriving by taxi boat from the San Marino harbour.
Saline Valley Warm Springs
Saline Valley Warm Springs is a remote desert oasis in the northwest of Death Valley National Park, on the floor of the Saline Valley at about 1,400 feet, ringed by the Inyo Mountains and the Saline Range. Three springs sit a couple of miles apart along a dirt spur: Lower Warm Springs, the largest and busiest, with concrete soaking tubs, outdoor showers, a lawn, palms, a communal fire pit and a dishwashing station; Palm Spring, smaller and quieter, with two tubs known as the Wizard and Volcano pools and wide valley views; and Upper Warm Spring, an undeveloped lukewarm pool among cattails. The source water averages about 107°F. Nudists began using the springs in the 1960s, and volunteers built most of the tubs and facilities; the National Park Service later replaced the outhouses with latrines. Clothing-optional use is the long-standing norm and is acknowledged in the park's 2019 management plan, which leaves it unchanged. A volunteer camp host is always present. Visitors are limited to 30 days a year. Expect wild burros, low-flying military jets, extreme summer heat and a strong self-reliant community culture.
Saltsjöbadens friluftsbad
Saltsjöbadens friluftsbad, known locally as Saltisbadet, is an open-air bathhouse built out over the sea in Saltsjöbaden, a seaside suburb in Nacka east of Stockholm. Designed by Torben Grut in the early 1900s, it looks like a wooden castle on the water, and it keeps the old spa tradition of separate women's and men's baths alongside a public beach. In the women's bath (Dambadet), bathing with or without a swimsuit is the bather's choice; it is open to women of all ages and boys up to seven. The men's bath (Herrbadet) is men-only and clothing-optional in the morning, from 08:30 to 11:00, and then opens to everyone with swimwear required. The beach section requires swimwear. Wooden decks and ladders lead straight into the brackish Baltic water. The bath opens only in summer.
Samurai Beach
Samurai Beach is a south-facing ocean surf beach in Tomaree National Park, Port Stephens, about two and a half hours' drive north of Sydney. It runs between One Mile Beach and the rocky coast at Big Rocky, backed by tall vegetated dunes. The beach has been a designated nude bathing beach since 1996, and NSW National Parks describes it as clothing-optional; the national park campground behind the dunes is clothing-optional too. It is a long open stretch of fine pale sand with powerful surf, popular with surfers and 4WD drivers, and it is unpatrolled, so swim with care and watch for rips. Expect a relaxed mix of naturists, surfers and campers; 4WD traffic is allowed on the beach, so keep an eye out when lying near the vehicle track. It is the venue for local naturist club events such as the annual nude beach picnic day.
Sandpipers Resort
An AANR family nudist RV park and suites north of Edinburg in the Rio Grande Valley. It positions itself as mid-sized: big enough for a pool, social activities and an active crowd, but small and casual enough for newcomers. Accommodation includes RV sites, suites and a casita, and it runs a winter season special for 'Winter Texans' who spend the colder months in the valley.
Sandvikens Fribad & Camping
Sandvikens Fribad & Camping is a naturist campground in the forests of eastern Värmland, near Filipstad. It sits on the shore of lake Yngen. It has run since 1973 and bills itself as Sweden's warmest naturist campsite. It is linked to Värmlands Naturistförening, and the federation Sveriges Naturistförbund includes it on its map of naturist campsites. Shallow, gently shelving bathing areas run into clear lake water. The site has pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, as well as rental cabins. Guests mention a shared kitchen, a barbecue area, a washing machine, clean toilets, Wi-Fi and an evening sauna. Hiking trails start nearby. The campground holds events through the summer, such as midsummer, a summer party and a crayfish party. Its website says it is closed for the 2026 season and will reopen on 14 May 2027, with reduced service until early July. Membership of the regional naturist club is optional and gives discounts.
Sandy Lane Club
Sandy Lane Club is a member-run family nudist club on wooded land at 8502 N Tobacco Road, north of Hutchinson in central Kansas. It is affiliated with AANR and describes itself as a private oasis in the woods and a family-friendly destination for nude recreation. Recreation on the grounds is clothes-free. Facilities include a swimming pool for swimming and sunbathing, a hot tub that is open in all four seasons, a clubhouse with a kitchen, a walking and hiking trail, indoor and outdoor games, and fibre-optic Wi-Fi. The club has an accommodations page and an online system for arranging visits, which sets out its scheduling and visitor policies.
Sandy Terraces
Sandy Terraces is a small, member-run co-operative nudist campground in the woods at Marstons Mills, a village in the town of Barnstable on Cape Cod, about 65 miles south of Boston. It has operated for more than 70 seasons and has no paid staff: members share the work of running and maintaining the camp. The grounds cover just over nine acres beside a freshwater kettle pond, where there is a private sun deck and a wood-fired sauna. The centre of camp life is a heated saltwater pool, about 20 by 60 feet, with gazebos and loungers; the pool is fully nude. There are courts for pickleball, volleyball, bocce, cornhole, tennis and basketball, an air-conditioned clubhouse with TV, billiards, darts and foosball, and an open pavilion with grills, a fridge, microwave and coffee bar for guests to cook for themselves. Overnight options are limited to three RV sites, six tent sites and three cottages, so it is mostly a day and weekend place. There is no food service except at events such as themed dinners, dances, karaoke, movie nights and Saturday DJ afternoons. Families, couples and single visitors are all welcome, though most guests are couples and singles. The season runs from late May to mid-September.
Saré Thermen & Beauty
Long-established thermal and beauty complex in the Hulsbeek recreation estate near Oldenzaal, Twente, for almost 30 years. It has 11 to 20 indoor and outdoor saunas, including meditation, Himalayan salt, cave, rose and infrared saunas, wood-fired and Aufguss cabins, a hammam, waterbeds, treatments and dining. Textile-free.
Sauna Amstelland
Sauna complex in Uithoorn, south of Amsterdam, open seven days a week. It has a eucalyptus sauna, an outdoor Finnish cabin, a Dinarium sauna, an infrared cabin, a Turkish steam bath, indoor and outdoor whirlpools, a plunge pool, sunbeds and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. A large garden with many loungers is usable all year, and there is à la carte dining. Textile-free.
Sauna Deco
One of Amsterdam's oldest saunas, on the Herengracht in the canal ring, offering 600 square metres of spa in the style of 1920s Paris. Curved stained-glass windows salvaged from the ceiling of a Paris department store line the central lounge and pool. It has saunas, an infrared cabin, steam room, massages and a café. Textile-free.
Sauna Drôme
Wellness resort in Putten on the Veluwe with a range of saunas, a hammam, relaxation rooms and a garden. It offers many treatments, from hammam rituals and relaxing or sports massage to hot-stone and pregnancy massages, plus Aufguss and singing-bowl sessions. Textile-free, with dedicated ladies' days.
Sauna Swoll
Family-run thermal resort tucked away in the meadows at Wijthmen, between Zwolle and Heino, signposted only from the provincial road. It offers wood-fired and Aufguss saunas, steam rooms, light therapy, rasul, yoga and meditation, a garden, beauty treatments and massage, and à la carte dining. It is wheelchair accessible and textile-free.
Sauna Thermen Zuidwolde
Small-scale, luxurious sauna in an old Saxon farmhouse in rural southern Drenthe, reopened in April 2024. It has six to ten saunas, including wood-fired and Aufguss cabins, steam rooms, an orchard garden for sunbathing, beauty treatments, massages, singing-bowl sessions and à la carte dining, and overnight stays are possible. Textile-free.
Saunafreunde Berlin Familiensportverein
A family sports club on the shore of Heiligensee in north-west Berlin that has combined naturism, sport and nature for over 70 years. The 2.4-hectare ground offers swimming in the lake, a range of sports and a sauna, and members are encouraged to help shape club life and events. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Sawmill Campground
Sawmill Camping Resort is a private, membership-only campground in Dade City, Pasco County, run for the gay and lesbian community and billed by its owners as the premier gay and lesbian community in the Southeast. It became a member-owned co-operative in 2011. The wooded grounds sit near the Withlacoochee River and include a lake ringed with cypress trees, about 188 sites for RVs (30 and 50 amp, full hook-ups) and tents, plus rental cabins and privately owned residences. It is as much a nightlife venue as a campsite: there are four bars, Woody's Nightclub with drag and comedy shows on its main stage, a cigar bar, the Splash Cafe and a 24-hour general store, as well as campfires, bike trails and a dog park. Nudity is not the norm across the resort; the heated outdoor pool is clothing-optional, which is why it appears in naturist and gay travel guides. All guests must be 21 or over, the resort is cashless, and it is open every day of the year with themed weekends and events.
Schilksee
Schilksee is a beach in the city of Kiel that the city's tourism site describes as split into several sections. These include a patrolled main stretch, a separate dog beach, and a nudist area. The nudist area is one part of the beach rather than the whole strand, so visitors can choose between clothed and nude bathing. The sand is sheltered by breakwaters, which keep the water calm and make the main section popular with families with small children. Lifeguards from the DLRG keep watch over the swimming area during the bathing season. Toilets, food and drink, beach-chair and pedal-boat hire, and free volleyball courts are on site. The tourism page does not say where exactly the nudist zone starts or ends, so look for signs when you arrive.
Schleichersee
The Schleichersee is a small former gravel-pit lake in the Oberaue recreation area in the south of Jena, beside a loop of the Saale. It is not a free public shore: the lake is run as the Südbad, a seasonal outdoor bath operated by the city-owned Jenaer Bäder und Freizeit GmbH (Stadtwerke Jena), and you pay to enter. The operator lists an FKK area among the facilities, and its house rules allow bathing without clothing in the signposted FKK areas while banning photography and filming there. Visitor reviews place the nude area at the far end of the grounds with its own access to the water. The lake covers about 1.5 hectares and is up to 3.5 metres deep, with separate areas for swimmers and non-swimmers. Around it are sunbathing lawns, a small sandy strip, a children's paddling pool with a sun awning, a playground and a snack bar with a terrace. It is a family-oriented municipal bath, so the FKK section sits within a mostly textile facility rather than being a stand-alone naturist beach. Some visitors find the small lake crowded on hot days.
Schönfeldwiese im Englischen Garten
The Schönfeldwiese is a large lawn at the southern end of Munich's Englischer Garten, just north of the Haus der Kunst and a short walk from the city centre. It is one of six places where the City of Munich lifts the swimwear requirement under its bathing-clothing ordinance (Badekleidungsverordnung), and one of two such zones inside the Englischer Garten; the other is the Schwabinger Bucht further north. The nude zone is not the whole meadow: it is the area inside the oval of the old riding track, and that track marks its edge. Inside the oval, nude sunbathing is permitted; outside it, normal clothing rules apply. This is a city-park lawn, not a beach. There is no lake shore here, and swimming is not part of the designation. The setting is open grass with trees around the edges, surrounded by busy paths, cyclists and other park users, so you are in full view of passers-by. The park itself is known worldwide for its nude sunbathers, and international press coverage has long made the Schönfeldwiese a curiosity for tourists as well as a regular spot for Munich locals.
Schultheisweiher
The Schultheis-Weiher is a former gravel pit in Offenbach am Main, between the districts of Bürgel and Rumpenheim close to the Main. The lake covers more than 10 hectares and lies inside the Rumpenheimer und Bürgeler Kiesgruben nature reserve, which is also a European bird protection area, so bathing is limited to a public zone. The city describes about 3,000 square metres of sand beach and 10,000 square metres of lawn in that zone, split into a textile section and an FKK section. Part of the lake is fenced off for breeding and resting waterbirds: a line of buoys marks the protected area, and swimming beyond it is forbidden. Bathing is allowed from 1 May to 31 August, with staff on site acting as bathing supervision, and there are showers and toilets. In warm summers the water can reach about 27.5 °C, and the city counts up to 360,000 visits a year, so expect crowds on hot weekends. Water plants are part of the lake's ecology; the city asks swimmers not to tear them out. The lake is a designated EU bathing water and has had temporary bans for blue-green algae, including in July 2024.
Schwabinger Bucht
The Schwabinger Bucht is a broad meadow in the northern part of Munich's Englischer Garten and one of the six places where the City of Munich lifts the swimwear requirement under its bathing-clothing ordinance (Badekleidungsverordnung). It is the second designated nude zone in the park, after the Schönfeldwiese near the Haus der Kunst. The city defines its limits precisely: the Sulzbrücke marks the southern end, the Alte-Heide-Steg the northern end, and the footpath running around the meadow forms the edge on both the east and west sides. Within that area, nude sunbathing is allowed. The zone sits in the quieter, more open northern half of the park, well away from the crowded southern section, and close to the Isar; across the river on the east bank is another designated zone, the Isarinsel Oberföhring. The Bucht is grassland with trees around it rather than a beach, so expect lawn, shade from the surrounding trees, and other park users on the paths that frame it. Nudity is permitted, not required, so clothed and nude visitors share the space.
Scottish Outdoor Club
A naturist club on Inchmurrin Island in Loch Lomond, among some of Scotland's best scenery. There is a main clubhouse with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge with log fire, members' chalets, plenty of camping space, a toilet and shower block, a sauna and a large timber hall for games and socials. There is a volleyball and miniten court, and the loch itself provides swimming.
Senftenberger See
The Senftenberger See in southern Brandenburg is one of Germany's best-known former mining lakes, created by flooding the Niemtsch lignite pit in the 1970s. It covers about 1,300 hectares, reaches 25 metres deep and has around seven kilometres of sandy beaches and lawns, plus a 250-hectare wooded island that is a nature reserve and off limits. The nude section is at the Seestrand Buchwalde on the northern shore, near the town of Senftenberg. This 600-metre beach is divided into marked textile, FKK and surfing sections, and is popular with windsurfers. Facilities at Buchwalde include a restaurant, snack bar, toilets, a playground, a beach-volleyball court, a water slide and a motorhome pitch overlooking the lake. Other naturist spots are mentioned by unofficial sources, including a quieter shallow stretch near the Südsee on the south side and a section at Niemtsch, but we could not confirm these with an official source. The lake is busy in summer with day visitors and campers, and an 18-kilometre mostly paved path circles it, making it easy to combine a beach day with a bike ride.
Serendipity Park
Serendipity Park, now branded Serendipity Sun Club & RV Park, is a privately owned nudist resort on about 42 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Cleveland, White County, in north Georgia, close to Helen and about two hours from Atlanta. A creek borders the property. It describes itself as a family alternative clothing resort and is affiliated with AANR. Facilities include a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness room, clubhouse and cafe with a bar, hiking trails, tennis, petanque, and volleyball both on land and in the pool. There is also a dance hall, and weekend entertainment runs through the season. Accommodation comprises rental cabins, tent sites and RV or van pitches with hookups. Events range from family-style activities to adult evenings such as late-night movies for over-18s, especially around holiday weekends. In 2025 the retiring owners listed the resort for sale for about $1.8 million, with a deed restriction requiring any buyer to keep it running as a nudist resort for ten years; it remained open while on the market.
Serenity Mountain Retreat
Serenity Mountain Retreat, long known as Squaw Mountain Ranch, is a family nudist club in the forested Cascade foothills above Estacada, south-east of Portland. Founded around 1933, it claims to be the oldest nudist club west of the Mississippi, and the local chamber of commerce has called it the oldest continuously running business in Estacada. The property is rustic and wooded, at enough elevation to give mild summers and occasional winter snow, and the trees shade the camp in summer and shelter it in winter. Facilities include two hot tubs, a wood-fired sauna, a small gym, a putt-putt course, hiking trails and a conversation area. For overnight stays there are three rooms in the lodge, booked by phone, and tent and RV sites with about twenty 15-amp and two 50-amp hookups. The club is affiliated with AANR and AANR Northwest, and it describes itself as a safe, friendly place to bring the whole family. Unlike many northern clubs it stays open year-round, and it holds events such as a summer music festival (August 6-9 in 2026).
Sespe Hot Springs
One of the hottest and most remote natural springs in Southern California, deep in the Sespe Wilderness of Los Padres National Forest north-east of Ojai. Very hot water comes out of the hillside and cools as it runs down the creek into a series of rock-dammed soaking pools. It can only be reached on foot or horseback, 7.5 to almost 17 miles each way, so most people go as an overnight backpacking trip. Soaking is customarily clothing-optional.
Seurasaari
Seurasaaren uimala is the City of Helsinki's bathing place on Seurasaari island. The island is best known for its open-air museum, and it faces Meilahti, a few kilometres north-west of the city centre. The bathing place dates from 1906 and is treated as culturally significant. It runs mainly as a nude beach, but in the traditional Finnish way: men and women each have their own fenced section, and there is no mixed nude area. That makes it quite different from the unisex naturist shore on Pihlajasaari. Each section has changing shelters, toilets and outdoor showers. On Wednesdays and Sundays the bathing place is in shared use and swimsuits are required, so check the day before you go. Entry is free. No lifeguards are on duty. The fences give each section a more private feel than an open beach. The rest of Seurasaari is wooded parkland with walking paths, which makes a good stop before or after a swim.
Shangri La Ranch
Shangri La Ranch is a family-friendly, clothing-optional resort in the Sonoran Desert at New River, about 45 minutes north of Phoenix. Founded in 1959, it is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and is now home to more than 150 full-time residents, so it feels like a small nudist community as much as a resort; most residents are retirees, though children are welcome. Visitors can stay in basic rooms, efficiencies or cabins, or use more than 110 camping sites ranging from dry camping to full-hookup RV pads. Facilities centre on a pool kept warm all year, a hot tub and sauna, plus a clubhouse with a big fireplace, dance floor and indoor dining, a library and games room, a playground and laundry. Sports include volleyball, water volleyball, pickleball, tennis, basketball and horseshoes, and there are desert hiking trails. The weekend Bare Buns Café serves meals, but no alcohol is sold (bring your own). Clothing is optional everywhere except the pool, hot tub and sauna, where swimsuits are not allowed; sit on a towel. Dances, DJ nights and fitness classes run year-round, and demand has grown sharply since 2020.
Shepherd Hot Springs
A small pipe-fed concrete tub for about four people, in open country in the Long Valley Caldera near Whitmore Hot Springs, a short walk from Crab Cooker. The views reach the Sierra Nevada and the White Mountains. A valve controls the hot inflow, so check the temperature before getting in. Clothing-optional soaking is normal here, and the nearest services are in Mammoth Lakes, about 12 miles away.
Sieben-Meter-Teich
The Sieben-Meter-Teich (also written Siebenmeterteich) is one of the three Ricklinger Kiesteiche, flooded gravel pits in the southern Leine floodplain south of the Maschsee in Hannover, inside the 'Obere Leine' landscape protection area. At about 6 hectares it is the quietest of the three; the Großer Teich next door holds the Ricklinger Bad, and the Dreiecksteich has the area's kiosk. All three ponds are officially released for bathing and monitored as EU bathing waters by the Region Hannover. The city's own portal names the north shore of the Sieben-Meter-Teich as the nude area, shielded from the rest of the pond by trees and shrubs, so naturists there are largely out of sight of other visitors. The bank is grass rather than sand, and a jetty with a ladder lets swimmers drop straight into deep water. There is no lifeguard: bathing is at your own risk. The Südschnellweg expressway crosses the pond area, though tree cover screens most of it. Locals call the Kiesteiche the 'Costa Kiesa'. Blue-green algae are a recurring problem in the Kiesteiche, and regional authorities have temporarily banned swimming in the Sieben-Meter-Teich during algae blooms, so check the current status before a swim. The local angling club also fishes the pond.
Sierra Hot Springs
A rustic, non-profit hot springs resort and retreat centre on the edge of the Sierra Valley near Sierraville, north of Truckee. It has an indoor temple-dome hot pool, outdoor warm and hot soaking pools, a sauna and meadow views of the Sierra. Soaking is clothing-optional. Lodging ranges from a historic lodge and cabins to camping, and there is a café on site. Membership or a day pass is needed to soak.
Simplicité et Joie
Naturist club ground on the banks of the Seine at Saint-Thibault, about 20 minutes from Troyes, welcoming licensed campers with tents, caravans or motorhomes. Members can cool off in the river, and pets on leads are accepted. The lakes of the Forêt d'Orient regional park, popular for swimming, sailing and fishing, are nearby.
Site Acabanà
Remote naturist camping property between Pau and Tarbes, reached by a 1.6 km track through woods and a bridge over the Louet river, beside a former mill and a small lake. The private camp takes six pitches or about 20 people a day, with electric hook-ups. There is a heated 15 × 4 m pool, hot showers, a paillote-style lounge, barbecue and plancha, and a rowing boat and paddleboard.
Sjøhaug Naturistsenter
Sjøhaug Naturistsenter is a naturist centre on the island of Jeløya, about 7 km from the centre of Moss, operating since 1980 and presented on the website of the Norwegian Naturist Federation (Norsk Naturistforbund), with its own board and membership. The property covers about 50 mål (decares) of forest and shoreline on the Mossesund. Most of the caravan places are let as permanent seasonal pitches, around fifty of them, with some space for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, plus a few cabins and rooms to rent. Guests swim from the bathing beach, which is partly pebble, or from a long jetty into deeper water, and there is a sauna and bathing tub in the evenings, a playground, petanque and a shared barbecue area. Under the house rules guests may be nude indoors and outdoors as they wish, nudity is preferred on the beach in good weather and is the norm in the sauna, and both choices are to be respected. Guests must sit on their own towel and always ask before taking photos. The season runs from May to September.
Skanörs Nudist Beach
Skanör's nude beach is on Svanrevet, the sandy northern point of the Falsterbo peninsula at Sweden's far south-western tip, just north of the old town of Skanör. The Swedish naturist federation describes it as an official nudist beach belonging to Vellinge municipality. Once you are past the textile beach, about 5 km of fine white sand runs north along the shallow Öresund shore. The sea is shallow far out, which makes it good for children, and the federation's own description calls it very child-friendly. On a hot, sunny day the beach can draw around a thousand nude bathers, but it is long enough to find space. The landscape is low dunes and open shore with no trees, and the Skanör-Falsterbo area is known for birdlife. Members of NF Svanrevet use the beach a great deal; the club runs the Solhejdan naturist campsite nearby. Further south, Skanörs Havsbad on the west coast is the busy family beach with its rows of wooden bathing huts.
Sky Farm
Sky Farm is a co-operative naturist club on roughly 35 to 38 wooded acres in the Liberty Corner section of Bernards Township, near Basking Ridge in Somerset County, New Jersey. It traces its roots to the American League for Physical Culture, a nudist group founded in New York in 1929. Led by Kurt Barthel, the group bought the Liberty Corner land in 1932, which makes Sky Farm one of the oldest nudist clubs in the United States. It is affiliated with AANR. Members collectively own the property: applicants serve a probationary year before becoming full members with a share, and everyone helps maintain the grounds. There are around 57 members' cottages, tent platforms and a few other campsites, plus a guest lodge. Three bathhouses serve the grounds, since the cottages have no bathrooms, and the lodge area has a heated pool and a spa. A caretaker lives on site all year. The club is clothing-optional, family-oriented and explicitly not a sex club, and some members grew up there.
Sol Sante Club
Sol Sante Club is an organised naturist social club on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. A travel guide describes it as a club for naturists in the Victoria area that runs social events, workshops and community support. Wikipedia's list of social nudity places in North America places it north of Victoria. The stored record names Duncan, but the sources seen do not confirm that town. I found no official website, address, membership terms or event schedule, so this page is limited to what the club is said to be.
Solair Recreation League
Solair Recreation League is a member-owned family nudist resort and campground in Woodstock, in the north-east corner of Connecticut, drawing nudists from across New England. Founded in 1934, it is one of the oldest nudist clubs in the US and is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). The grounds cover more than 360 acres of woods around a pond with a sandy beach, used for swimming, boating and fishing. Facilities include a solar-heated outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball and shuffleboard, a fitness centre, a library, a community centre with an outdoor pavilion, a children's playground and marked hiking trails. Accommodation is in rental cabins, on tent platforms, or on RV and travel-trailer sites, and many members keep seasonal homes on site. The Bare Grille café on the lower level of the community centre opens on summer weekends. Solair is family-oriented, with activities for children and adults, and has made efforts to attract younger members through reduced rates for under-40 and under-30 couples. Visitors are welcome from late April through October; members use the grounds year-round.
Solaris Nudist Beach
Solaris is a naturist campsite on the Lanterna peninsula near Poreč in Istria, north-western Croatia. Listings place it in an oak forest between Novigrad and Poreč, close to its beaches. The site covers about 49 hectares, according to the operator, and is one of the larger naturist campsites in Istria. The naturist beach is about 2.5 kilometres long, and the operator says it has Blue Flag status, which is a self-reported claim. Some listings say the beach and site are for naturists only. Facilities mentioned in listings include a pool, sports courts, massage services and a dog beach, though one listing says no pets are allowed. The site holds a Solaris carnival each August. Listings show differing season dates, and one older listing gives 27 April to 30 September 2024, so the current season should be confirmed with the operator before travelling. The operator is Valamar, which also runs other campsites on the coast.
Solhejdans Naturistcamping
Solhejdan is the naturist campsite of Naturistföreningen Svanrevet, a members' association founded in 1957 that describes itself as made up mainly of families. It lies on Knösvägen at Skanör, on the Falsterbo peninsula at the south-western tip of Sweden, close to the sandy shore and lagoons north of the town, with the official nude beach at Svanrevet nearby. Shared nudity is the core of the club's activity. Guests can pitch a tent, caravan or motorhome, or rent one of two cabins: Storebo with four beds and Lillebo with two. Listings and guest reviews mention a heated outdoor pool, a sauna lit in the evenings, a shared kitchen, a large lounge, a children's playground and Wi-Fi, and the association also runs an indoor bath. Children and families are explicitly welcome. Outside the main summer season the reception is not always staffed and services can be limited. In winter the association organises nude swimming sessions at the public Burlövsbadet pool in Arlöv.
Solway Sun Club
Founded in 1955, Solway Sun Club has a 14-acre off-grid woodland site near Carlisle, about 20 minutes from the M6. There is no mains electricity or fast internet. Facilities include a nature trail, a small solar-heated pool, a sauna, a volleyball and sunbathing lawn, a petanque piste, hot showers, a communal kitchen and a log-heated clubhouse. Day visitors, campers and small campervans are welcome, and two static caravans can be booked.
Sømstranda Naturist
Søm is a public recreation area on the eastern side of Kristiansand, just across the Varodd bridge from the city centre, on the Skagerrak coast of southern Norway. It has two beaches side by side. Facing the sea from the car park, the clothed beach is to the left and the naturist beach is straight ahead. The Norwegian Naturist Federation lists Søm as one of the country's official naturist beaches. The local naturist association, Sørlandets Naturistforening, leases the naturist section from Kristiansand municipality, and the lease has been renewed to 2027. Nude use is publicly approved from 1 May to 1 October. Outside that period the same rules apply as on any other beach. It is a sandy beach and is described as child-friendly. There is a toilet and a rubbish bin, and the association empties the bins, but visitors are asked to take their own rubbish home where they can.
Sonnenbad Rehwinkel
Sonnenbad Rehwinkel is the private naturist grounds of the Verein Sonnenbad Rehwinkel at Oberglatt, in the Zurich lowlands north of the city and close to Zurich airport. The site has been in use since 1954 and covers a little over 7,000 square metres of lawn and trees. It is a members' club rather than a commercial resort, and its stated ethos is living in harmony with nature, mutual consideration and ecological commitment. Facilities are simple: a 6 by 12 metre swimming pool, a children's paddling pool, cold outdoor showers, sanitary facilities, a clubhouse and kiosk, a garden grill with tables and an open fire pit, and shaded rest areas. For games there are pétanque, table tennis, a large ball-games lawn used for volleyball, and outdoor chess and Mühle (nine men's morris) boards. Nudity is the norm on the grounds. Members hold a key and can use the site at any time of year, while the guest season runs from May to October, when visitors with a guest card are admitted at weekends only. Newcomers can book a trial day through the club website. It is one of a handful of club-run naturist grounds around Zurich, alongside NASPO's Föhrli at Nänikon.
SonnenBad Schönhalde
SonnenBad Schönhalde (SBS) is a members' naturist and FKK club that has run its own grounds at Aeugst am Albis, in the Knonauer Amt south-west of Zurich, since 1960, and celebrated its 75th anniversary recently. The club says it belongs to the Swiss Naturist Union and the International Naturist Federation. The grounds lie on a sloping hillside in a rural setting partly bordering a nature reserve, with panoramic views to the Rigi, Pilatus and the Alps, about 20 minutes by car from Zurich, 15 from Zug and 30 from Lucerne. Facilities are simple: an outdoor swimming pool, lawns and sitting areas, a barbecue area, a small self-service bistro, pétanque, table tennis and garden chess, and basic toilets, washrooms and changing rooms. Members can stay overnight in caravans, campers or tents or in a farmhouse; a few visitor camping spots exist but must be booked ahead. The club describes its aim as enjoying sun, wind and water nude, with mutual respect and tolerance, and welcomes all age groups. The outdoor season runs through the warmer months, closing with a work day and party in mid-October. There is no warden and the site is not always staffed, and the slope makes it hard going for people with limited mobility.
Sonnenfreunde Langenhagen-Krähenwinkel
A naturist club in Krähenwinkel, a district of Langenhagen just north of Hannover, listed by the Lower Saxony-Bremen naturist federation. Members use the club's grounds for nude sunbathing and leisure during the summer months. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Sonnenhof Marbeck (Marbecker Bund)
A bilingual German-Dutch naturist family sports ground at Borken-Marbeck in the western Münsterland. Pitches have electricity and water, the pool was redesigned in 2011, and there is a sauna, a renewed playground with trampoline, a barefoot path and well-kept green areas. Visitors praise the clean facilities. Permanent pitches are currently full, but guest bookings are taken.
Sonnenland Resort
Naturist holiday complex in Vera Playa with apartments, pool areas, and direct access to Spain’s best-known naturist town beach.
Sonnland Bayreuth
A naturist family, sport and camping club on a secluded meadow plot in woodland near Eckersdorf, less than 20 km from Bayreuth. From April to September members and guests enjoy a natural bathing pond, table tennis, pétanque, volleyball and badminton, with pitches for caravans, motorhomes and unmarked tent places, a guest caravan for hire, a sauna and WiFi. Nudity is the norm on the grounds.
Sonnlandbund Regensburg
A naturist family sports club with its own grounds south of Regensburg, reached from the B16. Guests can stay overnight in caravans or tents, with a minimum stay of two nights, and the club asks visitors to follow its own route description because navigation apps go wrong on the final stretch.
South Canterbury Sun Club
South Canterbury Sun Club is a small members' naturist club affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Its 2.6-hectare ground sits on the historic Tripp Settlement Reserve in the farmland east of Geraldine, sheltered by hedges and a small pine plantation, and the old settlement school serves as the clubhouse. Inside there is a heated club room with a pot-belly stove and a full kitchen with a gas range and oven, used for meals, social events and meetings. Outside are an unheated swimming pool kept up through the summer months, a full-size concrete tennis court also marked for miniten, a petanque piste (bring your own boules), a barbecue area and a children's play area with a tree house and trampoline. Toilet and shower blocks have hot water heated by gas and solid fuel, and laundry facilities. Campers can use sheltered powered sites for caravans and campervans and plenty of tent space, and a small block offers two rooms with linen supplied: one with a double bed, the other with a double bunk, a single and a pull-out mattress. The club is a quiet, family-friendly rural base for exploring South Canterbury, with fishing rivers, bush walks and ski fields within reach.
South Forest Naturist Swim
A popular public naturist swim at South Forest Leisure Centre on Clipstone Road, Edwinstowe, on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 6pm to 8pm. There is a good-length pool with a flume, a hot tub, a large sauna and a children's paddling pool with a small slide. Entry is about GBP 6.50, bookable by phone or payable on the night. Parking is ample.
South Western Outdoor Club
A members' club on the Somerset and Dorset border, halfway between Dorchester and Yeovil, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its four acres include sunbathing lawns, a camping and caravan area, a children's play area, several games courts, a pavilion and toilets. It suits naturists looking for a quiet country setting.
Southampton Naked Swim (Oaklands Pool)
A nude swim at Oaklands Community Pool on Cromarty Road, Southampton, usually held once a month from September to May. Entry is about GBP 8 on the door or online. The sessions are open to all adults, and you need to bring photo ID such as a driving licence or a BN membership card. Dates are published in the BN events calendar.
Southern Naturally
Southern Naturally, which bills itself as the world's southernmost naturist club, is the home of the Southland naturists and is affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Its grounds are the historic Aparima School, a former country primary school on Guise Road in the farmland of western Southland, about ten minutes from Otautau and forty minutes from Invercargill. The old school buildings serve the club. The setting is quiet and rural, with views to the foothills of the Longwood Range and the often snow-capped Takitimu Mountains. It is a small members' club rather than a resort: there are camping facilities for naturist campers, and the club's photographs show a spa pool, but the club publishes few details and asks visitors to get in touch first. Members can meet visitors, open up and show them around, as the gate and buildings are locked when no one is on site. By arrangement the club also helps walkers on the Te Araroa trail, which passes through Southland, and it makes a convenient base or stopover for trips to Fiordland, Milford Sound, the Catlins and Stewart Island.
Southside Beach
Southside Beach lies just south-west of Bells Beach near Torquay on Victoria's Surf Coast, between Bells and Point Addis, and is one of Victoria's few legal nude bathing areas. The prescribed area begins roughly level with the Southside Beach car park, about 150 m east of the 81W coastal marker, and runs about 1 km south-west toward Point Addis, from the cliff base to around 100 m past low water; the beach at Point Addis itself is not a nude area. It is a wide, very flat sand beach under high cliffs, with surf. Tides come in a long way, leaving only a narrow strip at high tide, so pick your spot carefully. There are no lifesavers at any time. Boundary signs are often vandalised or removed, and many regulars still use the stretch nearer Point Addis whose designation was revoked, so check where you are.
SoyNature - espace naturiste
SoyNature is a naturist association with its own grounds in the hamlet of Mélines near Soy, in the commune of Érezée in the Belgian Ardennes. The site offers open meadows for nude sunbathing and relaxing in a quiet, wooded landscape and is affiliated with the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). Visitors are expected to make contact in advance and to hold a naturist membership card. It is a small, rural spot rather than a large holiday resort.
Spa Ofuro naturist evenings
A Japanese-inspired Nordic spa in the Laurentians, about 70 km from Montreal, facing forest with no public view. On scheduled Friday or Saturday evenings the outdoor site becomes nude-only for naturist groups, with large hot pools, cold plunges, dry and wet saunas, a stream for cooling off, a yurt with a fireplace and an outdoor fire. Overnight suites can be booked with the evening.
Spa Thermen Ridderrode
Sauna and spa hidden in the wooded dunes of Santpoort-Zuid, next to the ruins of Brederode castle and close to Haarlem. Its saunas and baths draw on legends from around the world, and there are infrared and steam cabins, massage, relaxation rooms, a garden with a pond and à la carte dining. Textile-free.
Spa World
A big Korean-style spa in Centreville, in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC. Its gender-separated bade pools, hot and cold tubs, saunas and steam rooms allow nudity or proper swimwear, while the shared floor has themed poultice rooms and a fitness centre, where spa clothing is worn. Patrons must shower before using the pools, and street clothes and underwear are not allowed in the bathing areas.
Spaarnwoude
This nude area sits inside the Spaarnwoude recreation area, the large green belt between Amsterdam, Haarlem and Velsen. It lies in the Buitenhuizen polder on the southern side of the park, off the Genieweg near the Zorgvrij information farm, on land that was once a waste tip. It is not a sea beach. The naturist section covers about 1.7 hectares, mostly mown lawns around a small pond of roughly 60 by 120 metres with a narrow strip of sand at the water's edge. Shrubs and trees shelter it and keep it apart from the clothed recreation areas, and there is a fair amount of shade. The pond is shallow, about 1.4 metres. Swimming water monitoring has listed it, but blue-green algae warnings have been issued in some summers, including June 2026, so check the current advice before swimming. A small toilet block with a shower serves the site. It closed for budget reasons in 2012 and reopened in 2016. On weekdays it is a quiet sunbathing meadow. The regulars are mostly older people and solo men, and traffic noise from the A9 and planes from Schiphol can be heard.
SpaPuur
Wellness resort in Tilburg with what it calls the largest Kelo Aufguss sauna in Noord-Brabant. It has 11 to 20 saunas, including infrared and salt-stone cabins, a hammam, a garden, singing-bowl sessions, beauty treatments and a Burgundian-style kitchen. It is nude except on several swimwear days each month, such as every Tuesday and the first and last Sunday.
SpaWeesp
Wellness resort in Weesp, just east of Amsterdam, designed to stimulate all the senses. Alongside a silence sauna and infrared, rose and panorama saunas, it has a snow cabin with real snow, wood-fired and Aufguss saunas, a hammam, rasul, massages and body treatments, plus a buffet and à la carte dining. Nude except on swimwear days.
Spiaggia del Trebbia
The Spiaggia fluviale del Trebbia is a river beach on the Trebbia in the Apennine hills of the province of Piacenza, downstream of Bobbio, in the comune of Corte Brugnatella. Locals call it the Secchiello beach, after the bend in the river where it lies. It is a typical Trebbia shore of white pebbles, gravel and rock slabs beside the clear river water. Corte Brugnatella's municipal executive formally established it as a naturist beach by resolution no. 34 of 23 June 2021, and the Italian naturist federation FENAIT lists it among Italy's official naturist sites. It is one of only two river beaches on FENAIT's official list. Reaching it means fording the river, so it feels secluded even though the road is close. There are no services of any kind.
Spiaggia del Troncone - Marina di Camerota
The Spiaggia del Troncone is on the Cilento coast in Campania, between Palinuro and Marina di Camerota, inside the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. The naturist stretch is about 400 m long and lies to the left (east) of the lido I Trettrè, in three coves divided by rocks. The first, nearest the access, is tiny and holds only seven or eight people. The second is about twice the size. The third and largest, with room for around 150 people, is reached by wading ankle-deep around the rocks when the sea is calm. The shore is a mix of pebbles, small stones and coarse sand, with clear water. FENAIT lists Troncone among Italy's official naturist beaches recognised by the municipality. The naturist association has pointed to it as an example of a naturist beach bringing tourism to the area.
Spiaggia di Capocotta
Capocotta is the stretch of dune-backed sand south of Ostia along the Litoranea coast road to Anzio, between about km 8 and km 10, next to the Castelporziano presidential estate. It was once Savoy family land, and after a fence went up along the estate boundary, people reached the beach through gaps, which earned it the nickname 'il buco'. It became a meeting place for naturists and the LGBT+ community, and in 1999-2000 Rome's city council created the Oasi Naturista here, the first official naturist beach in Italy. Today the oasis covers about 200 m of fine sand in front of fenced, protected dunes of Mediterranean scrub, run by a social cooperative with its own kiosk and lifeguard. Entry is free and open to everyone; nudity is optional, but you must dress to go to the kiosk. The atmosphere is quiet, with no phones or loud music, and a sign bans photos, camping and sexual activity. Between the oasis and the neighbouring lido lies about 100 m of unmanaged free beach that locals call 'no man's land'.
Spiaggia di Feraxi
Feraxi is a long sandy beach in Muravera, in south-east Sardinia (province of Sud Sardegna), just north of Costa Rei and the headland of Capo Ferrato. It runs for about 3 km in front of the Feraxi lagoon, part of the protected wetland of the Stagni di Colostrai e delle Saline, where flamingos, cormorants and black-winged stilts feed. The sand is wide and pale, and the water is clear, turquoise and shallow for some distance, which makes it easy for swimming. In June 2022 Muravera council approved a naturist stretch of about 400 metres at the southern end of the beach, running up to the Capo Ferrato promontory; it was reported as the fourth naturist beach in Sardinia and the first on the east coast. The naturist stretch is marked by signs but not fenced, and the rest of the beach remains an ordinary public beach with a kiosk, bars and sunbed and umbrella rental. FENAIT, the Italian naturist federation, lists Feraxi among its naturist places.
Spiaggia di Forza d'Agrò
The naturist beach of Forza d'Agrò lies on the Ionian coast of north-east Sicily, between Taormina and Messina, below the hill town of Forza d'Agrò and close to Sant'Alessio Siculo and the headland of Capo Sant'Alessio. The naturist area is in the locality of Contrada Parrino. Visit Sicily, the Sicilian Region's tourism site, says naturists are welcome here and calls it the first official naturism oasis in Sicily. A beach guide describes a moderate-length beach of fine sand with clear turquoise water that shelves gently, with conditions ranging from calm to choppy; there is a campsite (Forza d'Agrò Mare) on the same stretch of coast. There are no permanent services on the naturist shore itself, so visitors bring their own water, food and shade. The atmosphere is described as calm and respectful.
Spiaggia di San Saba
The naturist beach of San Saba lies on the Tyrrhenian coast of the Comune di Messina, in north-east Sicily, at the eastern end of the village of San Saba towards Capo Rasocolmo. It is the far stretch of the long San Saba beach, beyond the large sand hills locals call the Montagne di Sabbia, and you can only reach it on foot. In 2022 the Comune di Messina, then run by an extraordinary commissioner, issued an ordinance setting aside this stretch for naturism, and it is now listed by FENAIT, Italy's national naturist federation, among the country's officially recognised naturist places. Local press describes it as the only authorised naturist beach in Sicily. The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles with clear Tyrrhenian water, and the walk in keeps it secluded and fairly quiet compared with the village beach. There are no services on the naturist stretch itself; bars, restaurants and shops are in San Saba village. Views open towards the Aeolian Islands on clear days.
Spiaggia naturista "Sabbie Nere
Sabbie Nere ('black sands') is the naturist beach of Santa Severa, on the Lazio coast about 50 km north-west of Rome in the comune of Santa Marinella. It lies south-east of the medieval Castello di Santa Severa, beyond the archaeological zone of the ancient port of Pyrgi, on a stretch of open shore backed by low scrub. The sand is dark volcanic sand mixed with fine gravel, which gets very hot in the sun, so footwear is useful. The naturist sector starts roughly 500-600 m along the shore from the castle area, past an old Second World War bunker, and is recognised by the municipality as an 'oasi naturista'; FENAIT, the Italian naturist federation, lists it among Italy's officially recognised naturist beaches. A naturist association looks after the area and part of it has been run as an equipped, supervised section, with free unequipped stretches either side. Further south the Macchiatonda WWF nature reserve begins, and nudity is not allowed inside it. Being an easy train ride from Rome, it can get crowded at weekends, when volunteers from a regional naturist association often keep an eye on the beach.
Spiaggia naturista di Fiumicino
The naturist beach of Fiumicino is a stretch of Focene, a sandy section of the Roman coast in the comune of Fiumicino, between Fiumicino and Fregene, beside Rome's Fiumicino airport. The Comune di Fiumicino authorised naturism on this stretch in winter 2015, through the resolution that sets the permitted uses of its beaches, and the Italian naturist federation FENAIT lists it as an official naturist place. The beach is open fine sand on a flat coastline, with no shade or services: you need to bring everything with you. FENAIT warns that a bathing ban appears to be in force on this stretch, so sunbathing is fine but swimming may not be allowed; check signs on arrival. It is a simple, no-frills option close to Rome.
Spiaggia Naturista di Piscinas
Piscinas is a wide, wild beach on Sardinia's Costa Verde, in the comune of Arbus, between Capo Pecora and Capo Frasca. Behind it rise some of the largest sand dunes in Europe, reaching about 100 m and stretching around 2 km inland; they are mobile and reshaped by the wind. The sand is coarse and beige, the coast faces the maestrale, and the surroundings are almost empty: the only building near the shore is a luxury hotel converted from old mine warehouses. Arbus's coastal use plan of 2010 allowed part of Piscinas to be used for naturism, and a municipal resolution then authorised naturist tourism there; FENAIT lists it among Italy's official naturist places. The area is rich in wildlife, with partridges, foxes, kestrels and buzzards, occasional deer near the stream, and loggerhead turtles nesting on June and July nights, so respect any fenced nests. Inland, the half-ruined mining village of Ingurtosu is part of Sardinia's historic and environmental geomining park.
Spiaggia naturista di Porto Ferro
Porto Ferro is a long, open bay on the north-west coast of Sardinia, in the Nurra between Capo Caccia and L'Argentiera, administratively in the comune of Sassari close to Alghero. The beach runs for about 1.6 to 2 km in three coves of coarse, yellow-red sand, closed at each end by red trachyte cliffs. The seabed is mostly sand and shelves gently, but the bay faces west and catches the maestrale and libeccio, which makes it a well-known surf spot and can bring strong waves. Behind the beach are dunes, a pine plantation and scrub, and nearby is Lago di Baratz, Sardinia's only natural lake. In July 2018 the Sassari city council unanimously designated a naturist section here, under a 2017 regional law that allows municipalities to create naturist beaches; it is listed by FENAIT. The bay is part of a Natura 2000 site, has held a Blue Flag since 2016, and also has a dog-friendly section. There are no resorts, only a small bar-grill by the main car park.
Spiaggia Termitosa
The Termitosa naturist beach lies on the Ionian coast of Puglia in the commune of Castellaneta (province of Taranto), south of the resort strip of Castellaneta Marina, near the mouth of the Lato river. Behind the shore is the pine and Mediterranean scrub of the coastal woodland (sometimes called Bosco della Marina), with low dunes between the trees and the sand. The beach itself is fine golden sand with shallow, clear water. In June 2024 a municipal ordinance signed by mayor Gianni Di Pippa set aside about 150 m of shoreline for naturism, reported as the first officially designated naturist beach in Puglia, and the national federation FENAIT lists it among Italy's officially recognised naturist beaches. The designated strip is short, so the naturist area is compact and easy to find once you reach the river-mouth end. There are no facilities at all: no bar, no toilets, no umbrella rental. Rules reported for the area prohibit sexual behaviour, photographing people without consent and lighting fires. Pine shade near the back of the beach helps in the afternoon, and sunsets over the Ionian are a highlight.
Spielplatz
Spielplatz is a private naturist club in woodland at Bricket Wood, on the edge of St Albans in Hertfordshire, and is widely described as the longest-running naturist resort in Britain. It was founded in 1929 by Charles Macaskie and his wife Dorothy, who began by camping on a plot of woodland they had bought; a 1957 ITV documentary featured the family, and the club is now run by Macaskie's grandson, Grant Kelly, through the company Spiel Platz Ltd. Its 10 acres are a mix of lawns and shaded corners, with homes along gravel paths where around 50 permanent residents live. Facilities include a swimming pool, a hot tub and a clubhouse with a licensed bar, which hosts social events such as fancy-dress nights. Visitors can come for the day in season, camp or glamp, or take out an annual membership. The atmosphere is that of a small, settled community rather than a holiday resort: management vets newcomers, and the club describes itself as run by naturists for naturists and family-oriented. Another long-established naturist club, Fiveacres, is in the same village.
Sport und FKK Verein Herzsprung
A non-profit family sports club whose fenced, mostly wooded ground of about 75,000 m² lies at Herzsprung in the Uckermark, north-east of Berlin. It offers recreational sport in many disciplines under naturist conditions, pitches and rental accommodation, a sauna and a beach snack bar serving drinks, coffee, cake, ice cream and warm snacks in good weather. Member of the regional federation, DFK and INF.
Sport- und Naturfreunde Dortmund (SUN Dortmund)
A naturist club whose 18,000 m² ground lies in the green Ardey hills between Dortmund, Herdecke and Witten. Members can swim in the club's outdoor pool, play tennis, volleyball and table tennis, use a trampoline, go walking or aqua jogging, or relax on the lawn or in the sauna. The clubhouse has an event room, bar, fireside room and shared kitchen.
Sport- und Naturfreunde München (SUN)
A naturist sports club with spacious grounds at Olching, west of Munich. Sports on offer include volleyball, table tennis, pétanque, indiaca and swimming, plus two of the club's own games: Datschball, a cousin of fistball and volleyball invented by SUN, and Plattln, a summer version of Bavarian ice stock sport.
Sport- und Naturfreunde Münster
The naturist club of Münster, with its ground on Am Dill in the south of the city in the Münsterland countryside. It is listed by the NRW naturist federation and offers members and guests a private site for nude sport, sunbathing and club life. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Sport- und Naturistengemeinschaft Noris
A small, friendly naturist club in a quiet, lovingly kept spot at Wilhermsdorf in the heart of Middle Franconia, open only to naturists. It offers year-round pitches for caravans and motorhomes with electricity, a large shady guest meadow for tents, a solar-heated pool, sauna, table tennis, a ball-games field, a cosy clubhouse and free WiFi.
Sport- und Saunafreunde Köln
A naturist sport and sauna club from Cologne with its ground in Frechen, west of the city. It is listed by the NRW naturist federation and focuses on sauna culture, sport and nude recreation for its members. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Sportbund Helios Augsburg-Kissing
A naturist club with large, well-kept grounds at Kissing near Augsburg, close to the Auensee lake. Members and guests move about unclothed when the weather allows, and the club promotes sport, nature, youth work and family life. Visitors praise the spotless sanitary facilities, pool and sauna. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Sportbund Sonnland Freiburg
A large family naturist sports and camping park on the western edge of Freiburg, run by the Sportbund Sonnland club. The site offers many sports, good sanitary facilities including a sauna, a leased restaurant and caravan and tent pitches, and is well connected by tram, rail and motorway, making it a base for exploring Freiburg, the Black Forest and the wine country.
Sportgemeinschaft Sonnenfreunde Nürnberg
A naturist sports club with a well-kept sports and leisure park of over four hectares in the Rednitz meadows on the south-western edge of Nuremberg. There are tennis, table tennis, volleyball, asphalt curling and boules facilities, gymnastics and dance, a playground, large tree-shaded lawns, caravan pitches, a heated swimming pool, a large sauna and a clubhouse with sun terrace.
Springwood Sun Club
An active club founded in 1958, about 15 minutes' drive from Colchester. It has a heated pool, a sauna, a sun lawn, two miniten courts, seven petanque pistes, pool and table tennis, a private wood, a clubhouse with log burner and a pavilion with stage. Members can use it all year. From Easter to October it accepts day visitors and campers with tents, caravans or campervans, and it is dog friendly.
Spruce Hollow Campground
Spruce Hollow is a private, adults-only clothing-optional campground on about 30 wooded acres at 8700 West 6 1/2 Road near Mesick, Wexford County, in northwest lower Michigan, south of Traverse City. Pat and Jan Bell opened it around 2003 as a nudist campground affiliated with AANR, and a 2011 article called it the only nudist venue in northern Michigan. It is now under new ownership and has changed character. It describes itself as a ladies' camp that welcomes both lifestyle and naturist guests: women can come alone, but men are admitted only with a female companion, and single men are not accepted. Nudity is allowed throughout the camp, but sexual activity must stay out of public view. The site offers rustic tent pitches, which are first come, first served, and a limited number of sites with power. Weekend gatherings are held around the pool on Friday to Sunday in summer. Dogs are welcome. The 2026 season opened on 22 May.
Stadtwaldsee - FKK-Strand
The Stadtwaldsee, which Bremen residents call the Unisee, lies in the Horn-Lehe district beside the University of Bremen, between the Technologiepark and the A27 motorway, north of the Bürgerpark and Stadtwald. It was dug out as a sand pit when the motorway and the university were built. The lake covers about 29 hectares, reaches about 15 m deep and is fed by groundwater, which the city describes as slightly salty. It has two coarse sand beaches. The large textile beach is on the south side, and the city's official portal places the FKK area on the east side of the lake. A nature reserve borders part of the shore, and the lake also has a campsite, a diving base with an air station, a restaurant with a lakeside terrace, a fenced dog beach and a DLRG lifeguard station. Smaller bays elsewhere on the shore are also used for swimming. In spring 2025 the city's environmental services restored the FKK bathing spot after nutrias had undermined the bank: the shore was levelled, re-sanded and cleared of sedges, with a fence and buoy line planned to keep swimmers out of the reed belt. Algae blooms occasionally close the lake in summer.
Stanley Hot Springs
Stanley Hot Springs is a set of primitive soaking pools in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of north-central Idaho, high above the Lochsa River corridor and about 50 miles east of Kooskia. It has nothing to do with the town of Stanley in the Sawtooths, which causes frequent mix-ups. Water at about 106°F (41°C) emerges from several sources on a forested hillside and runs through a chain of pools built up with rocks and logs before draining into Huckleberry Creek, at roughly 3,600 feet elevation. Temperatures differ from pool to pool, so test before getting in. There are no buildings, fees or facilities: just the pools, a scatter of primitive campsites in the trees and the sound of the creek. The roughly five-mile approach keeps casual visitors away, so the people you meet are mostly backpackers and hikers, many of whom camp overnight. Clothing is optional by long custom and hot spring guides list it as such; most soakers go nude, but swimsuits are also common and there is no rule either way. Wildlife includes elk, moose, black bears and occasionally mountain lions, so food storage matters. It is a genuine wilderness outing rather than a casual soak.
Star Ranch
Star Ranch is a family-oriented nudist club in McDade, in the post-oak country about 35 miles east of Austin. Run by the Sahnoans, a member club operating since 1957, it describes itself as the oldest nudist club in Texas and is affiliated with both the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR, Southwest region) and The Naturist Society. The property covers about 112 acres, just over half developed, with the rest left as pasture and woodland crossed by walking trails. Facilities include a recently renovated outdoor pool with jets, a fountain and water-volleyball poles, a spa, a tennis court with a pickleball overlay, sand volleyball, pétanque, horseshoe and washer courts, and Tara Hall, an indoor recreation building with pool, darts, ping-pong, shuffleboard and games. Three shaded pavilions host gatherings, and a café serves breakfast at weekends. Visitors can stay in rental cabins scattered around the grounds, on RV sites with 30/50-amp power and water/sewer hook-ups, or in a tent area next to the pool. It is clothing-optional, with a firm non-sexual code: lewd behaviour leads to expulsion. Star Ranch hosted the national AANR convention in 2021 and is open year-round.
Starland Retreat Center
Starland is a retreat center and campground on about ten private acres in the high desert at Yucca Valley, close to Joshua Tree National Park. Most of the property can be clothing-optional, and it serves as a Southern California base for gatherings such as Network for a New Culture and the Radical Faeries, so it works more as an event venue than a walk-in nudist park. Accommodation ranges from tent sites to cabins and rooms. Contact the center for the current event calendar before planning a stay.
Stauseebad Cossebaude
The Stauseebad Cossebaude is a fee-paying open-air bath on the western edge of Dresden, run by the city's bathing company Dresdner Bäder. Swimmers use a roughly 45,000 m² section of the reservoir itself rather than a conventional pool, backed by a large lawn shaded by chestnut trees. Alongside the lake area there is a 485 m² non-swimmer pool with a water mushroom, a 180 m² toddler paddling pool, a giant slide and a tube slide, a playground, sports areas and a café/snack bar run by a tenant. Windsurfing is possible on the reservoir. The operator lists Freikörperkultur (naturism) among the bath's features, and a geocache description mentions a small FKK area among the sports and play zones, so nude sunbathing is confined to its own part of the grounds rather than the whole bath. The exact position of the FKK lawn is not published; ask at the entrance.
Steph's Pond
A small private naturist property with a swimming pond on Eaton Road in Williamson, Wayne County, near Lake Ontario east of Rochester. It is one of only a handful of landed naturist venues in western New York, and The Naturist Society's Network still lists it in 2026. Its old website no longer works, so contact it through the Network listing before planning a visit.
Storsand
Storsand is a nature reserve and one of the best-known sea beaches on the Höga Kusten (High Coast), at the tip of the Mjällom peninsula just north of the fishing village of Norrfällsviken in Kramfors municipality. The reserve is small, about 11 hectares, but the beach itself is a broad sweep of fine, soft sand with low dunes behind it and sparse pine forest on the dunes. The water is shallow for a long way out over a sandy bottom, which makes it one of the warmer and gentler swimming spots on this otherwise rocky, cold Bothnian coast. The nude section is the western half of the beach: the county administrative board designates that half as a naturist bath and asks visitors to respect the split, so textile visitors tend to stay on the eastern half. The Världsarvsleden (World Heritage Trail), about 100 km long, runs through the reserve, so walkers pass along the beach. Dogs are not allowed anywhere in the reserve, and camping, caravans and fires outside marked places are banned. The season is short; this far north the sea is only pleasant from late June to mid-August.
Stotternheimer See
The Stotternheimer See is one of the flooded gravel pits north of Erfurt known as the Erfurter Seen, and its west shore is taken up by the Strandbad Stotternheim, a fee-paying lake lido run by the city's utility company (SWE Bäder) on behalf of the city. The bath has a broad sand beach, lawns and rentable beach chairs, a guarded swimming area divided into non-swimmer and swimmer sections, a toddler pool with a slide, a playground, beach volleyball, basketball and table tennis, a kiosk and a rentable barbecue spot. The operator advertises a separate, spacious FKK area where you can swim and sunbathe without a costume; one listing puts this section at about 100 m of shoreline, and notes that the toilets, showers and kiosk are in the textile part, so you walk across to use them. Water quality is monitored and the lake has repeatedly been rated excellent under the EU bathing-water rules. The bath is open only in summer and is busy with Erfurt families on hot days.
Strand Rettin - FKK
Neustadt in Holstein, on the Lübeck Bay coast of the Baltic, includes the seaside villages of Pelzerhaken and Rettin, joined by a long sandy beach that runs north-east from the Pelzerhaken headland. The regional tourism agency for the Lübeck Bay lists a clothing-free FKK stretch in Pelzerhaken, a little north of the BeachHouse, which puts it on the open shore between Pelzerhaken and Rettin; a beach directory describes the same section as lying between the two villages and signposted. The beach here is fine sand with shallow, gently shelving water, which suits non-swimmers and children, and behind it a wooded cliff and a new promenade lead past the Rettiner Wiesen meadows to a lagoon with dunes. Rettin is the quieter end of the coast, with two campsites right on the beach, a surf and SUP school, the Strandliebe beach café in the dunes and a few snack stands; beach chairs can be rented.
Strandbad Gänsehäufel (FKK-Bereich)
Gänsehäufel is Vienna's largest open-air lido, occupying a wooded island of about 33 hectares in the Alte Donau in the Donaustadt district. Run by the city since it opened in 1907, it has about 1.2 km of natural sandy shoreline, big lawns with some 2,000 trees, three heated pools including a large wave pool, play areas, snack bars and rows of tiny rented beach cabins. The FKK area is a separate section in the southern part of the island, where only nude bathing is allowed and photography is prohibited. It has its own stretch of shore on the Alte Donau, lawns and tree shade, and it is known as the calmest part of the lido, with a loyal following of regulars. The water of the Alte Donau is calm and warm in summer, and lifeguards watch over the lido.
Strandbad Wannsee
Strandbad Wannsee is Berlin's classic lake lido on the eastern shore of the Großer Wannsee, a broad bay of the Havel at the edge of the Grunewald forest in the south-west of the city. Bathing here became official in 1907, and the long terraced complex of yellow-brick halls, colonnades and rooftop sun decks built in 1929-30 by Martin Wagner and Richard Ermisch is a listed monument of Berlin modernism, restored for the centenary in 2007. The beach is a strip of imported fine sand roughly 1.2-1.3 km long and up to 80 m wide, and the water is shallow and shelves gently, which makes it popular with families. Rows of hooded Strandkörbe give it a Baltic-coast look. The operator, the city-owned Berliner Bäder-Betriebe, sets aside an FKK area within the site, which visitBerlin puts at about a tenth of the total; nude bathing is allowed there, while the rest of the beach is textile. Facilities include a playground, beach volleyball and football, a water slide, snack bars and boat hire nearby. On hot summer weekends the bath can be very crowded, as it holds tens of thousands of people; weekdays and early mornings are calmer.
Strandbad Wostra
The Strandbad Wostra, on Dresden's south-eastern edge by the Elbe, is a naturist-only lake bath run by the municipal bathing company Dresdner Bäder. It has operated as a pure FKK facility since 1982. The grounds of about 20,000 m² surround a small renaturalised gravel lake with a fine-sand beach, rentable beach chairs and a broad lawn, with part of the water set aside as a non-swimmer area. There is also a playground, sports areas, shaded spots and a snack bar/café run by a tenant. The separate, textile Freibad Wostra lies immediately next door, so make sure you enter the Strandbad gate. It is a small bath compared with Dresden's large pools, and a day ticket costs less than at the city's textile open-air baths.
Strandlund Nudist Beach
This small naturist beach sits on the Øresund coast in Charlottenlund, just north of Copenhagen, below the Strandlund housing and beside Charlottenlund Fort and the grassy Charlottenlund Strandpark. Danske Naturister, the national naturist organisation, lists it in its beach guide as one of the capital region's traditional nude beaches. The nude bathing takes place on the beach itself; the large lawn of the beach park behind is not part of it, so keep clothes on there. The beach is compact and gets full quickly, but regulars describe a friendly atmosphere. On a typical summer Sunday the crowd is roughly evenly split between men and women, of mixed ages, and visitors in 2020 counted around 30 people, almost all nude, with only the occasional swimsuit. Yellow buoys mark the bathing water. Toilets and an ice-cream kiosk are next door in Charlottenlund Strandpark. Because it sits beside one of the most popular beach parks north of the city, parking is tight on hot days and clothed visitors pass nearby. Under Danish practice, nude bathing is accepted on most beaches, but this is one of the spots where naturists reliably gather.
Strandslag Falga (ook naaktstrand)
This North Sea naturist beach is on the coast south of Den Helder, toward Julianadorp, in the dune belt of the Kop van Holland. The nude section runs between beach poles 4.09 and 5.0, the stretch between the Falga beach entrance (strandslag 4) to the north and De Zandloper (strandslag 5) to the south, and it is signposted. The beach is wide, with pale fine sand backed by high dunes and open sea in front. Groynes reach into the water about every 200 metres. They show at low tide, and swimming close to them is dangerous because of the currents. There is no shade or natural shelter, and no toilets or showers on the nude stretch itself. The nearest facility is the Zee van Tijd beach pavilion, which you pass if you come from the Zandloper side, and an ice cream cart sometimes works the beach in summer. Visitors say it is spacious and clean, with a mix of couples, families and solo visitors. It is calm outside hot weekends, and on warm summer days it fills up.
Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs
Strawberry Park Hot Springs is a privately owned hot springs resort in the forested hills about seven miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Natural hot water feeds a series of stone-walled pools set along Hot Spring Creek: a large main pool that grades from warm to hot, plus several smaller, hotter and more secluded pools, reaching about 104 F. The setting is rustic, with timber changing huts, a creek running through, and snow all around in winter. The clothing policy is time-based: swimsuits are required during the day, and clothing becomes optional after dark, when minors are not allowed. The site also rents rustic cabins, covered wagons, a caboose and tent sites, and offers water-therapy sessions. Dogs, outside alcohol, smoking and RVs are not allowed. Visits are by reservation only, and it gets busy year round, with evenings especially popular for soaking under the stars.
STŘÍBRNÝ RYBNÍK
Stříbrný rybník, known locally as Stříbrňák, is the largest pond around Hradec Králové and the city's main natural lido. It lies about 5 km east of the centre, in woodland between the districts of Malšova Lhota and Svinary, and is run as a recreation area with a campsite and chalets next to the water. The main bathing area is a sandy beach with a gentle, shallow entry, which suits children and weak swimmers. Alongside it the site has a designated nudist beach, which a regional travel guide calls one of the few official ones in the Hradec Králové region, and the regional tourism portal lists the nudist beach among the site's facilities. The sources we found do not say exactly which part of the shore the nude area occupies, so look for signs or ask at the site on arrival. In summer the lido is busy with families, cyclists and campers from the city; a restaurant with a terrace, kiosks, changing rooms, showers and toilets are on site, and there is boat, kayak and pedalo hire plus a water slide. Swimming is free, and dogs are allowed in the water.
Striptease River Trail
The Striptease River Trail is a private hiking route at Tsitsikamma Lodge and Spa, a hotel of 32 free-standing log cabins in the Tsitsikamma forest on the Garden Route, at the western edge of the Eastern Cape. The trail follows a river through old indigenous forest for about 5 km and passes 11 rock pools, each with a cheeky name tracing a gradual undressing: Bikini, Topless, Bottomless, Halfway and finally Kaalgat, Afrikaans slang for bare-bottomed, with others such as Fantasy and the Cataract pool, which has waterfalls. Hikers can start fully dressed and shed a layer at each stage, or skinny-dip from the first pool. The walk typically takes around four hours with swims, though there is no time limit. Its key feature is privacy: once booked, the trail is reserved exclusively for you and your companions, which is what makes nude hiking and swimming possible. The lodge itself, with its restaurant, spa and cabins, is an ordinary clothed hotel, so the trail is a nude-friendly activity rather than a naturist venue. Summer is the best time to enjoy the pools.
Studland Naturist Beach
Studland Bay on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset has the best-known naturist beach in Britain. The National Trust owns the beaches and the heathland nature reserve behind them and sets aside about 900 m of Knoll Beach, roughly the middle stretch of the three-mile sweep of sand between Studland village and Shell Bay, as a clothing-optional area. Green-topped posts and signs mark both ends, and naturists are expected to dress outside them. The beach faces east across Studland Bay toward Old Harry Rocks and Bournemouth, with soft golden sand, dunes and heather behind, and calm, clear water that shelves gently thanks to an offshore sandbar, which makes it good for swimming. There is no shade. On hot summer days it draws very large numbers, with one 2021 visitor estimating 1,500 to 2,000 naturists, mostly older but with some younger visitors. Naturism here dates back to the 1920s. In 2013 the naturist area was extended about 50 m inland, and the Studland Beach Users Action Group, set up in 2005, brings together the Trust, police, naturist groups and the parish to manage behaviour.
Studland Summer Camp
A long-established family naturist campsite at Knaveswell Farm on the Isle of Purbeck, in the Jurassic Coast area, near Swanage and Corfe Castle. Facilities are simple: showers, flushing toilets, a chemical toilet emptying point and recycling. The camp opens for two seasons each year, a short one around the late-May Whitsun holiday and a longer one in summer.
Sun Aura Resort
Sun Aura is a privately run, adults-only clothing-optional campground on about 300 wooded acres off State Road 10 in Newton County, northwest Indiana, roughly 75 miles south of Chicago. It occupies one of the oldest nudist sites in the country: the grounds opened in 1933 as Club Zoro, founded by Chicago lawyer Alois Knapp, and later became the notorious Naked City under the Drost family until it closed in 1986. After several owners, including a spell as Sunspot, it now trades as Sun Aura. The 63-foot concrete leg built as a sundial in the Naked City era still stands on the grounds. Accommodation is a mix of RV sites with hookups, a tent area and rental cabins. Facilities include an Olympic-size pool, a smaller conversation pool, a hot tub, a sauna, pool tables, a clubhouse with Wi-Fi and a smoke-free roundhouse used for themed dances on Friday and Saturday nights; food comes from an on-site barbecue outfit. Clothing is optional across the property, but nudity is required in the pools and hot tub, and photography of any kind is banned. Guests must be over 21, and both couples and singles are accepted. The atmosphere is social and party-oriented rather than family-focused.
Sun Kissed Villa
Sun Kissed Villa is a small naturist guest accommodation in Hout Bay on the Cape Peninsula, south of Cape Town. It caters to naturist visitors looking for a nude-friendly base close to Sandy Bay, South Africa's best-known nude beach, which lies a short drive away near Llandudno. Details such as rooms and rates are only available through its own website, so contact it directly to confirm it still operates. Hout Bay itself has restaurants, a harbour and easy access to Chapman's Peak Drive.
Sun Ridge Resort
Sun Ridge Resort is a privately run nudist resort and campground on 42 acres of pine woods along a ridge in Sterling, in the rural northeast corner of Connecticut near the Rhode Island line. It calls itself New England's premier nudist resort, and the state tourism site lists it as a scenic nudist resort with about 95 wooded, level sites. It displays AANR affiliation. Accommodation consists of tent sites, RV sites and a handful of rental cabins. Facilities include a pool and hot tub, a pavilion with billiards and a large TV, tennis and volleyball courts, woodland trails and a community campfire. The social calendar includes themed dance parties, karaoke nights and potluck dinners. A campground listing says nudity is required around the pool and hot tub. Overnight stays are restricted to couples, the resort stresses a safe and comfortable atmosphere for women, and it has a zero-tolerance policy on inappropriate behaviour. The season runs from mid-May to late September; the 2026 season has ended and the resort reopens in 2027.
Suncave Garden Naturist
Naturist guesthouse and garden retreat on a seven-acre property built around an Etruscan cave and amphitheatre, between Lake Bracciano and the Tyrrhenian coast near Cerveteri. Herons, swallows and falcons frequent the woodland below. Rome is about 30 minutes by car or 20 minutes by train, and the authorised naturist beach at Santa Severa is nearby, making it a base that combines culture and nude relaxation.
SunEden Family Naturist Resort
SunEden is a family naturist resort on a bushveld farm about 45 km north of Pretoria, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Listings place it on a 35-hectare site, and the operator calls it a nude resort: guests are expected to be unclothed in public areas, weather permitting, rather than clothing-optional. Facilities include an outdoor solar-heated swimming pool, an EdenSpa with a hot tub, an infrared sauna and a steam bath. There are self-catering units with private patios and garden views, shared living spaces and a kitchen, a game room, a convenience shop, barbecue facilities and hiking trails. The resort is close to the Dinokeng Game Reserve, so day-trip safaris are possible. A 2014 newspaper feature named it one of the best-known naturist resorts in Gauteng. The address is not clear from the sources, and some guides give different locations. Confirm details before booking.
Sunfolk
Sunfolk is a five-acre woodland naturist site at Park Street, between St Albans and Watford in Hertfordshire, owned and run by British Naturism, the national federation. It began as the Sun-Folk Society, a members' club founded in 1931 that bought the land the same year, and it has been used for naturism for more than 90 years. British Naturism took over the land and buildings in 2020 and redeveloped the site, which relaunched in 2025. It now works as a day-visit and camping venue rather than a private club. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a new sauna and hot tub, outdoor showers, a wooden clubhouse lounge with a fully equipped kitchen, and loungers on the lawns. Snacks and drinks are on sale, and fridges and freezers are available for guests. For overnight stays there are tent pitches, caravan and motorhome pitches with electric hook-up, and furnished glamping pods with proper beds. It is a naturist site, and the operator welcomes both experienced naturists and first-timers. Outside the summer season the site runs 'Bare BnB' whole-site bookings for British Naturism members only.
Sungrove Club
A non-profit, family-friendly naturist members' club and caravan site near Waltham and Cleethorpes, close to the Lincolnshire Wolds. It has an indoor heated swimming pool, a sauna, showers and toilets, miniten and boules courts, and touring and camping pitches, some with hook-ups and wifi. Only registered assistance dogs are allowed, and lower-body piercings must be removed during visits.
Sunland Holiday Village
Nudist holiday village on about 100 hectares of bushland and coastal sand dunes at Nora Creina, between Robe and Beachport on the Limestone Coast. Guests can walk through to a secluded clothing-optional beach next to the property. There are two-bedroom chalets, shady caravan and camping sites, a pool, barbecues, hot showers, a clubhouse with happy hour, and walking trails. Visitors describe it as relaxed and private, which suits people trying nudism for the first time.
Sunny Chinooks
Sunny Chinooks is a nudist camping club with a campground near Sundre in central Alberta. The club's own site says it was founded in 1952 and moved through several locations across southern Alberta before buying and running its own campground near Sundre in 1992. Facilities include a clubhouse, a wash house, RV sites with power, a hot tub gazebo and a rental cottage, and the campground is close to a river. The club is a not-for-profit society under Alberta's Societies Act and says it is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation and the Federation of Canadian Naturists. Membership is open to individuals, but the by-laws set a male-to-female ratio that caps the number of members, and the club keeps a waiting list because the ratio is full. The site's footer shows a 2013 copyright, so some details may be dated.
Sunny Glades Naturist Park
Sunny Glades Naturist Park is a members' naturist park near Bothwell in the municipality of Chatham-Kent, south-western Ontario. It offers a rural setting where families, couples and singles can camp, sunbathe and socialise nude through the summer season. Visitors should contact the park before arriving, as most Canadian naturist parks ask for advance registration and identification. The record keeps the town-level coordinates until the exact entrance is confirmed.
Sunny Haven Recreation Park
Sunny Haven Recreation Park is a private, member-run cooperative nudist park on Anderson Road in Granger, a few miles northeast of South Bend in northern Indiana. Founded in 1947, it is one of the older family nudist clubs in the Midwest and is listed by the American Association for Nude Recreation. Members own and run the park, and it is aimed at families and couples rather than a party crowd. The grounds reportedly include a heated pool, a hot tub and a sauna, a seasonal restaurant serving weekend brunch in summer, and space for volleyball and horseshoes. Camping covers RV and tent pitches as well as members' chalets. The South Bend tourism board lists it among local attractions and notes its reputation for being clean and friendly. As a co-op club, it lets prospective members visit before joining, and members of other recognised nudist clubs can usually come as guests. Nudity is the norm on the grounds. The season follows the northern Indiana summer, with activity concentrated between late spring and early autumn.
Sunny Rest
Sunny Rest is a commercial clothes-free resort on about 190 acres of rolling, partly wooded land on the side of Blue Mountain near Palmerton, Carbon County, at the southern edge of the Poconos. Founded in 1945, it is one of the oldest nudist resorts in the eastern United States and sits about two hours from New York and within easy reach of Philadelphia. It draws a broad crowd, from families with young children to retirees, and it promotes daily entertainment and a full events calendar through the summer. Facilities include a pool, whirlpool, sauna, sports areas, a restaurant and on-site massage. Guests can stay in motel-style rooms (rates include breakfast and grounds fees), cabins, RV sites or first-come tent pitches, and there are seasonal and year-round sites for regulars. Nudity is encouraged everywhere when the weather allows and is required in the pool and hot tub, where bottoms are not allowed. The resort opens from late spring to early autumn and closes over winter.
Sunny Sands Resort
Sunny Sands is a nudist community and RV resort in the countryside of northwest Volusia County, near Pierson, between DeLand and the Ocala National Forest. It opened in 1963 on around 40 acres and for decades ran as a traditional family nudist resort, known for its pool, clubhouse and a small golf course played in the nude. Today it is managed more as a residential nudist community: new manufactured homes are sold for weekend, seasonal or full-time use, and full-hookup RV sites take rigs up to 42 feet for stays from a weekend to a year. Day visitors can use the common grounds, including the clubhouse, picnic area and pool, but there are no overnight privileges on a day pass. Nudity is welcome everywhere and required in the pool, where guests must shower first and sit on a towel; lingerie and suggestive clothing are banned, as are speakers, glass, drones and photographing anyone without consent. Older guides describe a restaurant and bar, petanque and horseshoes. The resort has hosted Florida Young Naturists events. It is open year-round, and the sub-tropical climate makes winter the busiest season.
Sunny Trails Club
Historic BC naturist club in the Fraser Valley with grounds, social events, and a long Canadian naturist tradition.
Sunnybroom
A members' club founded in 1964 on a former croft about 30 minutes from Aberdeen. The stone cottage is now an open-plan clubhouse with wood-burning stove, kitchen and sun porch, running on 12-volt solar power, with spring water, toilets, a shower and a wood-fired sauna. There is a large camping field and sunbathing lawns, and visitors may bring a caravan, motorhome or tent.
Sunseekers Nudist Club
Long-running nudist club in the Perth Hills at Hovea, east of Perth, listed by Wikipedia as Western Australia's naturist resort. The bushland grounds offer powered and unpowered camp sites, caravans and cabins, with toilets, drinking water, barbecue areas, laundry, walking trails, a swimming pool and a children's play area. Members and visiting naturists can stay overnight or come for the day. Contact the club before your first visit, as access is arranged in advance.
Sunset Mountain
An adults-only (18+) nudist venue on a working cattle farm above the Elk River near Noel in the south-west corner of Missouri. It is reservation-only and offers RV and tent camping, a few rental accommodations, hiking trails, a hot tub and a sun deck. Bookings must be made and paid at least 24 hours ahead. It is listed by The Naturist Society and appears in AANR's business listings.
Sunshower Country Club
Sunshower Country Club is a family-oriented, member-run nudist club near Centerville in east-central Indiana, roughly an hour's drive from Indianapolis, Dayton and Cincinnati. Founded in 1959, it has more than 200 members from five states and is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and its Midwest region, as well as The Naturist Society. The club occupies more than 120 acres of rural land with a swimming pool and a shaded poolside picnic area, pickleball, pétanque, water volleyball, miniten and 'dirty bird' (a badminton variant), hiking trails, bird watching and a game room with shuffleboard and darts; sports equipment is free to use, and there are quiet, secluded corners for sunbathing. Overnight options are modest: 16 pull-through RV sites with 30-amp (some 50-amp) power, tent camping and eight rental units. The visitor season runs from early May to late September, while members can use the grounds all year. Events through the summer include a 5K run and walk, a bike rally and holiday weekends. Bring a towel to sit on.
Sunsport Gardens
Sunsport Gardens is a family nudist resort in Loxahatchee Groves, in rural western Palm Beach County about 30 minutes inland from West Palm Beach. It has operated continuously since the mid-1960s and is listed by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). The grounds cover around 40 acres of tropical gardens, woodland trails and ponds used for fishing and paddling. Facilities include a heated pool and spa, a sauna, tennis, pétanque, volleyball and water volleyball courts, a nature trail, a playground and a small restaurant. It hosts full-time residents, winter seasonal visitors and day guests, with rental cabins, rooms and trailers, and sites for RVs, trailers and tents. Unlike many Florida resorts, Sunsport is not clothing-optional: a sign at the entrance tells arrivals that nudity is expected. The resort is strongly oriented towards families and young people, running a week-long Family Youth Camp every July and regular weekends for young naturist adults, and it welcomes nudists of all ages, genders, sexual identities and abilities. Its long-running Mid-Winter Naturist Festival each February features workshops, personal-growth sessions and the arts.
Sunward Naturist Park
Sunward Naturist Park is a small, low-key, family-friendly nudist park and campground near Calabogie, about an hour and a half west of Ottawa. It sits beside a private spring-fed lake for swimming and is close enough for a day trip or a weekend stay. Summer activities include potluck dinners, themed dances and guided hikes around the lake. It welcomes naturist families, couples and singles, and visitors should arrange their visit with the park beforehand.
Suwannee Valley Resort
Suwannee Valley Resort is a commercial clothing-optional resort in the woods near the Suwannee River at White Springs, in north Florida close to the I-75/I-10 junction. It is an AANR member resort and today admits adults aged 21 and over only. Most guests come in RVs: all RV sites are pull-through with full hookups (30 and 50 amp), and there are tent sites with or without power, rental RVs and small and deluxe cabins. Facilities include a pool and spa, a lodge used as a live-music venue, an outdoor band stage with a fire pit, a bar and food service, a game room, pickleball, a nine-hole chip-and-putt golf course, walking trails, a laundry and a dog park. The pool and spa are nude only; elsewhere guests may dress as they like, except in the dog park, where clothes are required. Themed weekends and live music fill the calendar, and the mild north Florida climate keeps it busy from autumn through spring. Single men and women can come for a first visit on weekday afternoons.
SV Orplid Niddainsel Frankfurt
A naturist club for family sport and leisure on an island in the River Nidda at Frankfurt-Nied. Over decades members have built an exemplary sports and leisure ground by their own efforts, offering a retreat for young and old to enjoy nature, relax or play sport without textiles. The site includes a pool and sauna.
Svartkulp Naturist Beach
Svartkulp is a small, dark forest tarn in Nordmarka, the woodland on Oslo's northern edge, just east of the popular Sognsvann lake. Oslo municipality has set aside its north-eastern shore as a naturist beach, and the Norwegian Naturist Federation lists it among the country's official naturist beaches. The tarn is surrounded by dense forest. The naturist shore has gently sloping rock slabs and small grassy patches for sunbathing, with both sunny and shaded spots. It gets good evening sun. A narrow path follows the water along the west and north sides. There are no facilities at the tarn. Toilets, water and bins are at the Sognsvann bathing areas. The federation calls it only conditionally suitable for children. Svartkulp also has a long-standing reputation as a meeting place for casual sex. A 2023 newspaper report described harassment of other visitors, and the municipality, which does not supervise the site, referred complaints to the police.
Sweet Lake Wellness
Luxury sauna resort in Zoetermeer, near The Hague, built around what it calls the largest wellness garden in the country. Guests move between many indoor and outdoor saunas, cool off with a swim and rest in the extensive garden. The focus is on rest, balance and recovery, with treatments and dining available. Textile-free.
Sylt - Buhne 16
Buhne 16 is the beach north of Kampen on Sylt's North Sea west coast, named after the old groyne number at this point and probably the best-known nude beach in former West Germany. Today it is not a nude-only beach: the Sylt tourism site lists the green beach sections B, C and D at Buhne 16 as mixed textile and FKK zones, so nude and clothed people lie side by side, and a separate dog beach sits nearby. Visitors wanting a purely nude stretch tend to use the designated FKK beaches further north at List or south at Rantum (Samoa). The beach itself is wide, fine pale sand backed by high dunes, with open surf and the remains of groynes in the water, which the island authorities warn can be hidden at high tide. The legendary Strandbistro Buhne 16 at the beach access (Listlandstraße 133) is the social centre, with drinks, snacks and sit-down lunches plus a small beach shop. The section belongs to Kampen's northern guarded area, and the tourism office lists it as suitable for children. On Whitsun weekends large numbers of young people come for parties around the bistro, so expect it busy then and in July and August.
Synergy Beachside Nudist Retreat
Clothing-optional guesthouse a few minutes' walk from Dundowran Beach in Hervey Bay. Tall privacy hedging surrounds the whole property, so guests can stay nude anywhere in the tropical garden, around the heated pool and hot tub, at the outdoor shower and fire pit, and on a screened patio. The air-conditioned rooms have WiFi, and some listings include breakfast. It is adults-only and takes small dogs.
Széchenyi Thermal Bath
Széchenyi is Budapest's largest thermal bath, a neo-baroque complex in City Park (Városliget) run by the city-owned Budapest Gyógyfürdői Zrt. It is a textile bath: swimwear is required in all the indoor and outdoor pools, including the famous outdoor thermal pools that stay open in winter. The one exception is a naturist sauna section named in the bath's supplementary house rules (Annex 6), which bans sexually provocative behaviour and forbids phones and cameras in that area and at its reception. The same rules require guests at guided sauna sessions (szeánsz) to wear sauna clothing or be covered by a towel or sheet, and ban children under 14 from the saunas. The bath has several saunas, including Finnish and infrared rooms and a cascade sauna heated by thermal steam. We found no official detail on where the naturist section is, its hours or whether it is mixed, so treat this as a textile bath with a limited nude sauna area.
T'sek (Skookumchuck) Hot Springs
Rustic developed hot springs beside the Lillooet River, about two hours north of Whistler, where very hot source water is piped into five soaking tubs, two of them under A-frame shelters. A riverside campground with picnic tables and fire pits sits next to the tubs, which are open around the clock all year. Nude soaking is customary, and the Federation of Canadian Naturists lists the Lillooet River springs among its unofficial nude spots.
Talsperre Oberrabenstein
The Stausee Oberrabenstein is a small reservoir of about 6.5 hectares in the Rabenstein district on the western edge of Chemnitz, run as a managed lido with an entry fee. The operator describes a 400 m beach and a large lawn around the water, and Saxony's official tourism site lists a nudist beach among its features alongside swimming, rowing and pedal boats. Neither source says exactly which part of the shore is the nude section, so check with staff at the entrance. The site is built for day visitors: there is a bistro with a sun terrace of more than 200 seats, three further snack stands, a beach bar, a large slide and a pirate and aviation-themed playground, volleyball courts, table tennis and minigolf. That makes it a mixed family venue where the nude beach is one area among many, rather than a quiet wild shore. Dogs are not allowed. The Stausee is listed as an official bathing water by the State of Saxony. The Rabenstein forest around it has hiking and mountain-bike trails and a climbing park, and a campsite lies about ten minutes' walk away.
Tando
A well-established naturist club on a woodland site off the A69 west of Newcastle, with a naturist trail through the natural woodland. It has mains electricity, flush toilets, hot showers, a sauna suite beside the small clubhouse, a petanque court, volleyball and miniten courts and a seasonal splash pool. A hot tub runs year-round for a small fee, and two caravans are available for hire.
Tecopa Hot Springs (county bathhouses)
Indoor mineral bathhouses beside the county-owned Tecopa Hot Springs Campground, in the Mojave Desert at the south-eastern edge of Death Valley. Separate men's and women's pools are used nude: swimwear is not allowed, and bathers shower before entering. The setting is a quiet desert hamlet with RV and tent sites, dark night skies and the Amargosa River badlands close by. Private solo soaks are offered for an extra fee.
Telford Naturist Club
A rural club about 3 km east of Telford near the M54, open all year to members of accredited naturist organisations. It has 20 acres of natural woodland for nude walks, a heated pool, a sauna, miniten, volleyball, boules and shuffleboard courts, a children's play area, a youth room and a weekend bar. Camping and caravanning are available, and Ironbridge Gorge is close by.
Templeton Park Pool clothing-optional swim nights
A City of Vancouver indoor pool in Grandview-Woodland, with a slide, sauna and whirlpool, that hosts monthly clothing-optional evening swims run by a naturist swim group. Sessions are promoted by the NudeState Adventure Club, which has Western Canadian chapters, and the pool's nude swims have been noted by CBC as part of its specialised programming.
Templiner See
The Templiner See is a broad widening of the Havel south-west of central Potsdam, edged by the Templin forest. The place for nude bathing here is the Waldbad Templin, a lake lido on the forested shore run by the city's pool company, Bäderlandschaft Potsdam. Brandenburg's and Potsdam's official tourism sites both list an FKK area among its facilities, and the operator told the Berliner Zeitung that the FKK area is one of the most popular parts of the lido. The sources do not give its exact position within the grounds, so follow signs or ask at the entrance. The rest of the lido is a busy family venue: a large timed water slide, a floating bathing island, a shallow children's pool, beach volleyball and football pitches, lawn chess, beach chairs, a wakeboard facility and hire of rowing boats, pedal boats and kayaks. Food comes from a pavilion with a beer garden, and the Forsthaus Templin brewery is across the road. There are also bungalows and moorings for longer stays. The lido opens only in the warm season and is busiest on hot summer weekends.
Tenakee Hot Springs Bathhouse
A historic community bathhouse built over a natural hot spring on the waterfront of tiny Tenakee Springs, on Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska. Bathing is nude only, with no swimwear in the tub, so men and women have separate daily hours. Bathers wash with soap before getting in. The town owns the bathhouse, a volunteer committee runs it, and it is kept going by donations.
Termas de Bande (Os Baños)
Free Roman-era thermal pools beside the Aquis Querquennis Roman camp on the shore of the As Conchas reservoir in the Baixa Limia. Water emerges at around 40-46 °C into restored stone basins and individual tubs next to the cold reservoir. Naturist guides report that many bathers go nude here by custom; the pools are submerged when the reservoir is high and usable mainly in drier months.
Terme d'Astor
Naturist campsite on a wooded, rolling 17.5-hectare plateau in the Dordogne with very spacious pitches offering a choice of sun or shade. A bar-snack and restaurant serving Périgord specialities sits in a 17th-century farmhouse. Insulated chalets usable year-round, mobile homes and a house adapted for reduced mobility are available. There is a pool with a mushroom fountain, paddling pool and trampoline, plus children's entertainment in July and August.
Terme Olimia
Terme Olimia is a large commercial thermal resort at Podčetrtek in eastern Slovenia, beside the Sotla river on the Croatian border, run by the Olimia group. It is a mainstream family spa with hotels, apartments and a campsite grouped around several water complexes: Termalija family wellness, the adults-oriented Wellness Orhidelia and the outdoor Aqualuna thermal park. Its naturist interest is the Sauna World (Svet savn) inside Termalija, which the resort describes as the largest in Slovenia at 1,550 m². It has eight saunas, including Finnish, steam, aroma and meditation rooms, with the biggest Finnish sauna holding about 100 people, plus two rest areas, two cold plunge pools, a Kneipp path and a wellness bar, with regular infusion rituals. The resort's own sauna pages have described a nudist terrace with its own pool. As in most Central European sauna complexes, the sauna area is used nude and mixed, while the thermal pools, slides and the rest of the resort require swimwear. The sauna world opens year-round from midday on weekdays and from 10:00 at weekends, staying open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Terrain du Haut-Bois (Club du Soleil Belfort-Montbéliard)
Secluded two-hectare naturist club ground inside an old military fortification at Banvillars, surrounded by forest and largely shaded. It is simply equipped for day use, with a kitchen corner, barbecue, table tennis and pétanque. The Club du Soleil Belfort-Montbéliard uses it for relaxed days outdoors close to the two towns.
Terwilliger Hot Springs (Cougar)
Terwilliger Hot Springs, also called Cougar Hot Springs, is a series of natural soaking pools in the Willamette National Forest east of Eugene, managed by the US Forest Service as a fee day-use site. Hot water emerges from the hillside in an old-growth ravine above Cougar Reservoir and is channelled down four rock-lined pools stepped one below another, each 3 to 12 feet across and around 2 to 3 feet deep. The top pool runs at about 112°F and the lowest at about 85°F, so soakers can move down the cascade to cooler water. The springs are clothing-optional, and nudity is common in the pools, but it must not be visible from the Aufderheide Scenic Byway (Forest Road 19). The site sits on a short forest trail lined with ferns and moss-covered trees, and the 2018 Terwilliger Fire left visible burn scars nearby. Rules are strict: no alcohol, no pets (service animals only), no camping at the springs and no visits after 10 pm. There are vault toilets at the car park, composting toilets near the pools and potable water. Weekends are often crowded, and the fee is collected on site.
Teufelssee FKK
The Teufelssee is a glacial lake in the Grunewald forest in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, about a short walk from the Heerstraße S-Bahn station. Nude bathing is permitted at the lake, and the south shore is the main swimming area. Its lawn on the south shore is the spot most visitors use for naturist bathing, and it is supervised by the DLRG water-rescue service. Facilities at the lake itself are minimal: visitors should bring food, drinks and towels, and there is no café or day-ticket infrastructure around the water. Dogs may not swim in the lake. In 2025 the district authority reported fake signs claiming nudity was banned at the lake and reported them. The lake is busy at weekends in summer and quieter on weekdays. Access is most practical by bicycle or car, as the walk from the station is considerable.
The Gargoyle House
The Gargoyle House is a privately owned lodge in the hills above Wells River, a village in the town of Newbury on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River, just across from Woodsville, New Hampshire. It is let as a whole or by the room through the gay travel site misterb&b, where it is marketed as a clothing-optional guesthouse for men, with five bedrooms and about fifteen beds sleeping up to 24 people, four bathrooms and breakfast included. The house stands in roughly sixteen acres of forest with walking trails and has a wood-fired sauna and hot tub, a gym, decks, a kitchen and an upstairs lounge with a media centre and games. The whole lodge is also hired out to naturist groups: in May 2025 Naturist New Hampshire took it over for an all-gender, clothing-optional afternoon party with use of the sauna, hot tub and trails, open to members and non-members. Nudity is allowed throughout the house during such events. The lodge has several floors, which can be difficult for people with limited mobility. It is a small private rental rather than a resort, so there is no day-visitor gate and no fixed season.
The Island Group
One of Florida's oldest nudist clubs, founded in 1954 on part of the former Dupree Gardens in Land O' Lakes. It is a member-owned, not-for-profit club for adults 18 and over, with no paid staff, and it encourages visitors to bring their own food and drink. A screened dining room, kitchen and outdoor grills are on site. It is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm, and visitors must RSVP first.
The Magic Circle
The Magic Circle is a clothing-optional camping area of roughly 450 acres on Bureau of Land Management land in the La Posa South Long-Term Visitor Area, about three miles south of Quartzsite. It is not a club or resort and charges no membership dues; campers pay the BLM visitor-area fee and can stay through the winter season, roughly September to April, with nearby water and dump stations. Volunteers organise potlucks, yoga and movie nights, and a loop trail of nearly three miles circles the nude area. The wider LTVA around it is not clothing optional.
The Naturist Foundation (Brocken Hurst)
The UK's largest family naturist site: Brocken Hurst, 50 acres of wooded parkland about 25 minutes from London by train and ten minutes from M25 junction 3. It has woodland walks, a sauna, a heated covered pool, volleyball, miniten, table tennis, badminton and petanque, and a bar and cafe. Events run every weekend from April to October, including the Party in the Stark music festival and nude 5K races.
The Orchard Naturist Club
The Orchard is a members' naturist club owned by the Orchard Naturist Club Inc. and affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. It began in Dunedin and moved inland after the 1979 Abbotsford landslide to its present ground at 20 Sutton Street in Sutton, a hamlet in the Strath Taieri a few kilometres south of Middlemarch. The park covers about 7 acres of gently rolling grassland with schist outcrops and tors, pines, fruit trees, native plantings and garden corners, so there are places to sit in sun or shelter. Accommodation is a five-bedroom house that sleeps up to 19 in shared arrangements or can be booked by the room, a separate suite, and tent, caravan and campervan sites, eight of them powered. A social hall, gas-heated ablutions and shared kitchens with barbecue, ovens and microwaves serve campers. Recreation is unusually good for a small club: an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub and a sauna, a nine-hole golf course, a miniten and pickleball court, a petanque piste and kubb. Central Otago summers bring many hot, sunny days, and the club is close to the Otago Central Rail Trail, Lake Sutton and walks in the Rock and Pillar Range.

The Paradise Peak
The Paradise Peak is an adults-only bed and breakfast in Rambaud on the French side of Saint Martin. Listings describe a clothing-optional pool area, where nudity is optional. The property is close to the naturist-friendly Happy Bay beach. It was previously known as Villa Rainbow and presents itself as LGBTQIA+ friendly. Guests get a complimentary breakfast and a sunset drink on the terrace, and one hotel listing gives eight air-conditioned rooms. It is close to Pic Paradis, the highest point on Saint Martin at 424 metres, and hikers can start the trail from Loterie Farm in Rambaud. Rates and availability were not found, so check the operator directly before booking.
The Potteries Swim
A friendly naturist swimming club for adults that meets on alternate Sunday evenings, 7:30pm to 8:30pm, at Jubilee Baths on Nelson Place in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The club stresses that a naturist swim is like any other public swim, with the same standards of behaviour, but without costumes. It is a member club of British Naturism and publishes dates on its website.
The Schvitz
The Schvitz is a historic communal bathhouse on Oakland Avenue in Detroit's North End. The building went up in 1918 as a community hall for Jacob Shevitz and was converted in the late 1920s into an Eastern European-style bathhouse, which ran for decades as the Oakland Baths. Detroit preservationist Paddy Lynch bought it in 2017, restored it while keeping its old character, and reopened it in 2020 as a wellness and social space. It centres on hot, steamy saunas in the Russian banya tradition, with massage and other treatments. It is run as a commercial bathhouse, not a naturist club. Sessions are divided by gender on most days, and in those single-sex sessions guests traditionally bathe nude; mixed sessions, held on some evenings, require swimsuits. A 2023 report gave men-only hours on Sunday morning, Wednesday and Thursday and women-only hours on Sunday afternoon and Tuesday, but schedules change, so check before going. It is open year-round and is especially popular in Michigan's winter.
The Sequoians
The Sequoians is a membership-based nudist club on about 80 acres of oak, bay and madrone woodland at the top of Cull Canyon Road in Castro Valley, in the East Bay hills about half an hour from San Francisco. Founded in the mid-1940s, it calls itself the only clothes-free club in Northern California and is run by its members rather than as a commercial resort; a handful of members live on site. The grounds include a heated pool, a hot tub, a bocce court and open lawns, plus seven trails for nude hiking, and two regional parks border the property. Camping is for tents, trailers and RVs up to 35 feet, with water and electricity but no dump station. Nudity is the rule on the common grounds and in the pool and hot tub, and clothing is required when crossing public land. Photography is banned and there is no mobile signal. Visitors come on weekends from April to October; weekday and winter access is reserved for full members and AANR or INF card holders who book. Saturday-night potlucks and an annual open house with free entry for first-timers anchor the social calendar.
The Sunday Swim Glasgow
A weekly naturist evening at the Arlington Baths Club in Glasgow's West End, giving mixed nude use of a 21 m pool, the Victorian Turkish suite, a steam room, saunas and relaxation areas. It runs on Sunday evenings, about 6pm to 9:15pm, except during maintenance and the Christmas holidays. Entry is by ticket only, booked in advance, and attendees must be over 18.
The Willamettans
The Willamettans is a member-run co-operative nudist club on just over 44 acres of forest at the end of Parsons Creek Road, beyond the village of Marcola in the Mohawk Valley, about 30 miles northeast of Eugene. Its roots go back to a group of Corvallis-area couples who began meeting in 1948; the club bought this land in 1953. Around 450 members own and run it, with a small paid office staff, and members are expected to do volunteer chores. The tree canopy keeps much of the grounds shaded. Facilities include a lodge, a 9-foot-deep swimming pool that is the social hub, a sauna and hot tub, tennis and bocce courts, pickleball, a craft room, a dog park, a bar that hosts karaoke and themed nights, a small gift shop and the Sunshine Cafe. Visitors and members can rent cabins or camp. The grounds are clothing optional, but clothing is not allowed in the pool, sauna or hot tub. Sexual conduct is banned and photography is restricted to private areas with everyone's consent. The club is open all year, though winter activity moves indoors. In August 2026 it hosted the 95th AANR national convention, its first time doing so, and was fully booked.
The Woods Campground
An LGBTQIA+ themed, membership-only camping resort for adults 18 and over, set on 161 private wooded acres outside Lehighton in Pennsylvania's Carbon County. It opened in 2004. The whole property is clothing-optional except the café dining room, and standard nudist etiquette such as sitting on towels applies. There are tent and RV sites, about three dozen cabins and park-model homes, a pool, a fitness centre, hiking trails and a busy programme of themed weekends.
Thermaalbad Arcen
Thermal spa in Arcen, North Limburg, fed by warm mineral water from deep underground. The complex combines indoor and outdoor thermal pools with a sauna world, herbal and spa baths, massages and other relaxation options, close to the Maas and the Arcen castle gardens. Swimwear is worn in the thermal baths; the sauna area is nude.
Thermae 2000
Thermal wellness resort on top of the Cauberg in Valkenburg, South Limburg, founded in 1989 as a spa around its mineral-rich thermal water. Covering some 60,000 square metres, it is one of the largest wellness centres in the country, with thermal baths, more than a dozen saunas including wood-fired and Finnish cabins, steam rooms, Aufguss sessions, treatments and a hotel. The sauna areas are nude.
Thermae Boetfort
Thermae Boetfort is a wellness centre in Melsbroek, just north of Brussels airport, housed in a castle and its gardens. The operator says it lets guests use the sauna facilities either in swimwear or nude, so it is a mixed venue with a clearly separated nude zone. Reviews name the nude zone Moenia and the swimwear zone Curia. The operator counts about fourteen saunas across the castle and garden, including a salt-stone sauna and an underground ice-cellar sauna, and runs daily aufguss sessions. Private saunas can be booked for couples, and treatments are available. Reviews describe a calm, adult-oriented atmosphere. The site is seasonal in part, with summer offers in 2026 running from mid-June to mid-September. Because nude and swimwear zones share the same complex, guests should check which zone they are entering.
Thermae Son
Sauna resort in wooded surroundings next to the Sonse Bergen nature area, just north of Eindhoven. It has six to ten saunas, including a natural sauna, a wooden farmhouse sauna, Finnish and 90-degree cabins and steam rooms, plus light therapy, Aufguss, a garden and à la carte dining, all in a relaxed Brabant atmosphere. Textile-free.
Thermal Resort Lendava (seasonal naturist area)
Thermal Resort Lendava, formerly Terme Lendava, is a commercial thermal spa resort in Lendava in far north-eastern Slovenia, close to the Hungarian and Croatian borders, with a hotel, indoor and outdoor thermal pools and a three-star campsite. The campsite has around 92 to 99 pitches on grass, sand and asphalt, partly shaded, with electricity and in some cases water and drainage, two renovated sanitary blocks, a motorhome service point, laundry machines, a free Finnish sauna added in recent years, bike hire, sand volleyball and Wi-Fi. Camping includes unlimited use of the resort's pools. From 15 September to 15 May half of the campsite becomes a naturist (FKK) area, and the Grozd pool, an outdoor natural pool of thermal mineral water with a paraffin character at about 36 °C, is reserved for nude bathing from 11:00 to 20:00, with swimwear bathing from 09:00 to 11:00. Outside that period the resort is entirely textile. The campsite closed for a while after a change of owner and reopened in August 2022, and it is now open all year.
Therme Erding
Therme Erding is a large public thermal spa complex in Erding, north-east of Munich in Bavaria. Most of the complex is mixed bathing, but the VitalTherme & Saunen area is textile-free, and that is the part relevant to naturists. Entry to the textile-free zone is from age 16. The operator's own press material describes it as the largest sauna landscape in the world, with 24 themed saunas; that is the operator's claim, not an independent figure. The thermal pools are generally used textile-free, but on Wednesdays and Sundays visitors may bathe with or without clothing. The 12 percent brine pool on the roof terrace is always textile-free. The neighbouring VitalOase is also 16+, but textile. A comment on a deals forum says the textile-free sauna area has shrunk, with some saunas now usable only in swimwear. That comment is anecdotal and undated, and it conflicts with the operator's current description. Because the rules vary by day and by area, the operator's current guidance should be checked before a visit. This is a spa with a textile-free zone, not a naturist resort.
Therme Wien Oberlaa
Therme Wien is a thermal spa in Oberlaa, on the south side of Vienna, with an outdoor area and a sauna landscape. The operator's own FAQ confirms that the sauna areas are textile-free: visitors use towels rather than swimwear in the saunas, and there is no textile sauna. The Laconium in the first thermal landscape may be visited in swimwear, so the dress rules differ between areas. The city of Vienna's listing gives the address as Kurbadstraße 14 and describes the spa as having an outdoor area and a sauna landscape. A 2014 Falter review describes saunas for women, for men and for all, which suggests that some are split by gender or open to everyone. The thermal pools allow water-repellent swimwear. The house rules and FAQ are the source for the sauna dress code, and they are the most specific information found. Check the current house rules on the operator's site before visiting, because policies vary by area and time.
Thermen Bad Nieuweschans
Spa resort in Bad Nieuweschans, at the far eastern edge of Groningen on the German border, founded in 1985. Its mineral water is pumped from 630 metres down at 29 degrees, heated to 36 degrees and diluted because it is so salty. Guests float in the thermal baths and use a sauna complex with relaxation areas and treatments. Swimwear in the baths; the sauna area is nude, apart from swimwear days.
Thermen Barendrecht
Fully renovated wellness resort in Barendrecht, just south of Rotterdam, reopened in May 2022. It offers infrared, salt-stone, birch, meditation, Kelo and 90-degree saunas, a herbal sauna, steam room and hammam, along with wellness rituals, massages, beauty treatments and a restaurant. There are no swimwear days, so it is always nude.
Thermen Berendonck
Wellness resort on the Berendonck lake at Wijchen, near Nijmegen, opened in 2019 as one of the most sustainable in the country: it uses no gas, reuses sauna heat and has 1,000 solar panels. It has 11 to 20 saunas, including wood-fired, Finnish, salt-stone and infrared cabins, a hammam, treatments, Aufguss, yoga and meditation. Textile-free except on its weekly swimwear day.
Thermen Bussloo
Large sauna, beauty and wellness resort on the lake at Bussloo, near Apeldoorn and Deventer on the edge of the Veluwe. It combines many indoor and outdoor saunas and baths with treatments, a restaurant and the adjoining Hotel Thermen Bussloo, while its Banyan Centre runs workshops on health and wellbeing. Textile-free.
Thermen Goirle
One of the largest saunas in the Netherlands, at Goirle next to Tilburg. Facilities include eucalyptus, panorama, Aufguss and herbal cabins, a bio-sauna, laconium and Turkish steam bath, salt-water baths, a caldarium and a subtropical pool. Guests rest in a living room, a Sahara room and a herb room. Textile-free.
Thermen La Mer
Wellness resort tucked into the woods on the edge of Almere, Flevoland, easy to reach from Amsterdam. It has 11 to 20 saunas, including an original Finnish Kelo sauna in its Mediterranean garden, salt-stone and wood-fired cabins, steam rooms, light therapy, yoga and meditation, plus beauty treatments and a restaurant. Textile-free.
Thermen Londerzeel
Thermen Londerzeel is a wellness spa in Londerzeel, in the Flemish Brabant region of Belgium, that naturist guides list as a textile-free venue. Men and women bathe together, and swimwear is not permitted in the spa or the pools, according to a naturist travel site and a hotel listing. The spa has an indoor pool kept at about 24 degrees and an outdoor pool at about 32 degrees, along with several saunas. Sources differ on the number: one reports nine themed saunas, another lists four indoor saunas plus outdoor ones. One naturist guide says advance reservation is required and walk-in entry is not available. I found no second source for that rule. Listed day prices quote about 37.90 euros per person, which may be out of date. The spa is part of a hotel complex. The official website was not found in the search, so the rules and prices need confirming with the spa before any visit.
Thermen Maarssen
Thermen Maarssen, formerly Spa Sereen, is a commercial sauna and wellness resort at Tienhoven, just north of Maarssen in Utrecht province, on the shore of the Maarsseveense Plassen lakes. It is run by the Thermen Resorts group and, like most Dutch sauna complexes, is textile-free: bathers use the saunas, steam rooms and pools nude and wear a bathrobe in the restaurant and lounges. The resort says it has no swimwear days at this location. Facilities are spread over indoor and outdoor areas by the water. Listings and visitor accounts describe around 15 saunas and steam cabins ranging from about 40°C to 95°C, including a fireplace sauna, a floating banya sauna on the lake, a Marrakesh-themed sauna, and newer additions such as a graduation (salt) sauna, an infrared cabin and a four-element steam room. There is a large outdoor pool and a natural swimming pond, foot baths on a pier, relaxation rooms, a beauty centre, the recently renovated Restaurant Lumé, and hotel rooms for overnight stays. Children under 12 are not admitted and 12-18s must be accompanied. The naturist beach on the neighbouring Maarsseveense Plassen is a separate venue with its own entrance.
Thermen Maastricht
Wellness resort, formerly Spa Sereen, on the grounds of Dormio Resort Maastricht, where guests can stay the night after a spa day. It has six to ten saunas, including salt-stone, 90-degree, panorama and wood-fired cabins, steam rooms, pools, relaxation rooms, Aufguss and singing-bowl sessions, beauty treatments and a restaurant. Textile-free.
Thermen Soesterberg
Big sauna and wellness resort at Soesterberg, near Utrecht and Amersfoort, with more than ten saunas including a salt-stone sauna, sauna theatre, pond sauna, Finnish, crystal, panorama, birch, rose and infrared cabins, plus a saltarium and steam room. A recent renovation folded the former swimwear area into the nude section. Treatments, Aufguss, a restaurant and overnight stays are offered.
Three Rivers Outdoor Club Swim (Elswick Pool)
An open, friendly naturist swim club in north-east England that holds a monthly 'Swim and Gym' session at Elswick Pool on Beech Grove Road, Newcastle, usually on the second Saturday from 6pm to 7:30pm. In summer the club arranges walks and outdoor dips instead. You do not need to be a club or BN member to attend; just bring ID on a first visit.
Tiger Mountain Family Nudist Park
Tiger Mountain Family Nudist Park is a member-owned nudist park on the wooded western flank of Tiger Mountain, just south of Issaquah and about half an hour east of Seattle. The club dates back to the mid-1940s and was long known as Fraternity Snoqualmie before adopting its current name. Members run and maintain the grounds themselves, and the park is firmly family oriented: guests range from infants to seniors, and its rules state that anyone seeking sexual activity should go elsewhere. Facilities include pools, hot tubs and a sauna, a clubhouse, sand and water volleyball, bonfire areas and forest trails, with weekend potlucks and seasonal parties. Accommodation ranges from free tent pitches and short-term vehicle camping to small rental 'bird houses', a cabin with linens and RV lots with or without power. Nudity is required in the pools, hot tubs and sauna; first-time visitors need not undress elsewhere, but returning guests are expected to when the weather allows. Photography needs board approval, everyone has a background check, and children must stay with their parents. The welcome centre runs from May to September.
Timberfell Resort
Timberfell Resort is a membership-based camping resort for gay men on 189 private acres in the foothills of east Tennessee, outside Greeneville. Opened in 1978, it bills itself as the oldest gay campground in the United States, and it was long known as Timberfell Lodge. It is a commercial operation rather than a naturist club: clothing is optional across the grounds, and guests must be 21 or older. Under new ownership it has been expanding and redeveloping, with around 72 cabins and rooms for rent, from the historic lodge and barn-complex rooms to small cabins and a row of mountain-view cabins, plus RV sites with full hookups and tent sites with power and water. A 32-room hotel with baths is planned. Facilities include a pool, sauna and steam room, a dance club and outdoor stage, a restaurant and bars, a shop, about two miles of hiking trails, golf-cart rental and Wi-Fi. A busy programme of themed weekends and shows runs through the year, and the resort now advertises itself as open year-round, although the pool is seasonal. Weekday room rates are discounted.
Timmendorfer Strand
Timmendorfer Strand is one of the best-known seaside resorts on the Lübeck Bay coast of the Baltic, with a long, broad beach of fine pale sand and water that deepens very gradually, which makes it popular with families. The nude section is at the far northern end of the town's beach: the regional tourism board lists beach section 1, directly at the municipal boundary with Scharbeutz, as a designated FKK stretch. It sits close to the Ostsee-Therme and runs on into Scharbeutz's own FKK area, so the two towns effectively share a nude strip in the middle of an otherwise busy resort coastline. The nude section is calmer than the central promenade beaches, which are full of beach chairs, playground equipment and ball-game areas. The Baltic here has no real surf and only a small tidal range, so swimming is easy in summer. A dog beach is in section 3 near the Ostsee-Therme. Expect a mixed, mostly German crowd of couples, older regulars and some families on warm summer days.
Tindo Nudist Club
Tindo Nudist Club is a member-owned naturist club near Lyndoch in the Barossa Valley of South Australia, roughly an hour's drive north-east of Adelaide. A community directory gives its founding as 1959. The grounds include a large clubhouse, a solar-heated swimming pool, tennis, mini-tennis and volleyball courts, and playgrounds. The club offers powered camping sites for caravans, motorhomes and tents, and members have permanent shack and caravan sites. Nudity is expected when the weather allows, and clothing is optional for newcomers who are not ready to go fully nude. The club runs open events for newcomers, such as group swims and water games, which local press has covered. Membership size is unclear. One Barossa report says the club once had more than 300 members, then fell before recovering, and I did not find a current figure. Some listing text reads like promotional copy, so the facts above are taken from several sources. Contact the club about its guest policy before arriving.
Tollensee - FKK Strand
The FKK bathing spot at Buchort lies on the western shore of the Tollensesee, the long glacial lake that runs south from Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is in the Brodaer Holz, a strip of woodland owned by the city of Neubrandenburg south of the guarded lido at Broda, on the Wulkenzin side of the lake. Neubrandenburg's tourist information names Buchort as the lake's nudist beach, alongside the textile beaches at Broda, Augustabad and Nonnenhof. This is a simple forest bathing place rather than a developed beach: a lying lawn among trees and a short stretch of shore from which you wade into the lake, with no kiosk, no lifeguard and no entry fee. The Tollensesee is about 10 km long and up to 2.5 km wide and reaches around 33 m deep; its water has been rated excellent under EU bathing-water monitoring, though it stays cool into midsummer. The crowd is small and mostly made up of older local regulars plus a few holidaymakers, and the mood is quiet. In winter 2021/22 the city cut back and felled trees around the site for safety reasons, leaving brushwood on the lawn for a time; it said it would clear the debris and restore the bathing spot.
Top End Naturist Recreation Retreat
Naturist camping retreat on Spencer Road at Darwin River in the rural area south of Darwin, near Litchfield. It takes tents, campervans, caravans and camper trailers on powered sites, and some cabins are listed. Facilities include toilets, drinking water, barbecue areas, laundry and a dump point, with walking trails and river swimming. Pets are allowed. The dry season is the comfortable time to visit.
Torbay Sun Club
One of the UK's largest naturist swimming and sauna clubs, with about 200 members of all ages from across south Devon and beyond. It is family friendly and swims every Sunday from 5pm to 6pm at the Totnes Pavilion leisure centre, which has a pool and sauna. The club also uses the Red House Hotel in Torquay for other sessions.
Town and Country Naturists Ipswich Skinny-Dip
Town and Country Naturists (formerly the Adam & Eve Social Club, founded 1983) has run a monthly nude swim in Ipswich for more than ten years. The private, enclosed venue has two heated pools kept at about 31 and 33 degrees. Each session lasts about four hours and includes cool drinks, hot drinks, snacks and a cheap sausage sizzle. Men are expected to be nude, and women may undress to their own comfort level. ANF and INF behaviour standards apply.
Townsville Naturist Community
Naturist club grounds in quiet bushland about 45 km west of Townsville in North Queensland, affiliated with the Australian Naturist Federation. Facilities include modern amenities, a powered clubhouse with free WiFi and a swimming pool. Camping is available but sites are unpowered, so the club suggests bringing solar panels. Its warm, dry winters make it a good stop for naturists touring the tropical north.
Travelites Nudist Retreat
A nudist retreat and club on Horrell Hill Road in Hopkins, south-east of Columbia in the South Carolina Midlands. Listed by both AANR and The Naturist Society, it gives central South Carolina a landed nudist venue in a part of the state with few naturist options. Visitors should contact the club through its listings before arriving, as access is by arrangement.
Trebgastsee
The Badesee Trebgast is a man-made bathing lake on the edge of the village of Trebgast in Upper Franconia, about 10 km north-west of Bayreuth. Work began in 1972 and the lake opened in 1975. It is roughly 680 m long and 220 m wide, about 3.5 m deep on average and 4.5 m at its deepest, and is fed by four springs in the lake bed. A 1.5 km path runs around it, and there is an island in the middle. The official bathing-water profile from the Kulmbach district office lists an FKK beach among the facilities. The others are large lying lawns, a kiosk, pedal-boat hire, a skate area, a shallow-water bank, a non-swimmer zone, a big playground and a beach-volleyball court. The nude area is on the side of the lake away from the main entrance. Visitors say it is not clearly marked off and sits next to the volleyball court, so in practice it is a tolerated corner of lawn rather than a screened enclosure. The lake mainly serves as a family lido, and the water was rated excellent under the EU bathing directive in 2014-2016.
Triangle Recreation Camp
A queer-run, LGBTQ+ membership campground on 80 forested acres in the Cascade foothills, about 21 miles east of Granite Falls on the Mountain Loop Highway. It is open to adults 21 and over from mid-April to early October and is known as a clothing-optional retreat. It offers tent and RV camping and holds themed party weekends through the season. There is no mobile signal at camp.
Truvebadet
Truvebadet is a lake beach on Vänern about 5 km east of Lidköping, set in leafy deciduous woodland with large grassy lawns behind a long, very shallow sandy shore. It is owned and run by Lidköping municipality as an ordinary family bathing place, and the naturist section is a separate stretch beyond the textile beach: the Swedish naturist federation's map describes Truvebadet as an official nude bath lying just west of a golf course and roughly 600 m east of Filsbäcks Camping. To find it, go down to the textile beach and keep right along the shore as far as you can. The local naturist club NF Skaraborg has long used the spot, but it is open to anyone. The sandy, gently shelving water suits small children, and the federation's description says it suits small children too. The textile area has a toilet, swings, picnic tables and bins, but there is no drinking water, and no jetty, changing cabins or grill area. Lidköping was one of the municipalities where complaints about sexual behaviour at nude beaches were reported in 2015.
Turtle Back Mesa B&B
A naturist bed and breakfast on a turtle-shaped desert mesa in Indio Hills, about 25 miles from Palm Springs. Its main draw is natural mineral water, which comes out of a 425-foot well on the property at 139 °F. The water fills a large hot spa and a cooler soaking spa, warms the swimming pool and heats the floors. The hosts decorate in a Southwestern turtle theme, and spa services are offered alongside the rooms.
Turtle Lake Resort
Turtle Lake Resort is a clothing-optional campground resort on Nine Mile Road outside Union City, in rural Branch County in southern Michigan near the Indiana line. It is listed by the American Association for Nude Recreation and serves mainly RV owners, seasonal campers and weekend visitors. The resort is built around a private lagoon with a small beach, and campground listings describe both an indoor and an outdoor pool, a hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts and a mini-golf course. Clothing is optional across the grounds. Like most northern clubs, it is busiest from late spring to early autumn, when the outdoor pool and beach are in use, though the indoor pool extends the season. Recent nightly camping rates on listing sites have been around $60 to $85.
Twin Ponds Lodge
Twin Ponds Lodge is a private clothing-optional lodge and campground for men in Albion, a rural town east of Waterville in central Maine. It is run for members of its own social club (the TPL Social Club) rather than as a public naturist resort, and it is aimed at gay and bisexual men looking for a relaxed, clothing-optional place to socialise. The lodge opens from March to December. Members can buy a day pass or stay over in a tent site, a cabin, a travel trailer or a permanent tent, and there are full-hookup RV spaces. Social life centres on the lodge itself, with karaoke, billiards tournaments, weekly potluck dinners, games and parties. A 2023 local comment noted the lodge had recently gained a liquor licence. The property is named for the two ponds on its grounds. Little else is published about it, and prices are given only on request.
Two Creeks Campground
Two Creeks is a privately owned clothing-optional campground for adults on about 100 secluded acres in Pine County, east of Sandstone and northeast of Hinckley, roughly 90 minutes from the Twin Cities and an hour south of Duluth. It sits between two state forests close to the Wisconsin border, and two creeks run through the wooded property, giving it its name. Guests must be 21 or older, and no children are allowed; it describes itself as LGBTQ+ friendly and open to singles and couples of any orientation. The clothing policy is genuinely optional: guests may be nude, partly dressed or clothed, and pressuring others is not tolerated. Facilities include modern showers and toilets with hot water, a dump station, sites with water, sewer and electricity (many with 50-amp service), Wi-Fi, picnic tables and firewood for sale, plus areas for sports, dances and potluck dinners. There is no mobile phone coverage. Accommodation covers tent and RV sites and rental cabins, camper trailers and tents. The season runs from late April or May to mid-October.
Tything Barn Retreat
A 23-acre private nature reserve in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park devoted to naturism, beside the tidal Carew river. Guests can swim in a saltwater lagoon, go boating or kayaking on the tidal water, and walk the meadows and woods. Three mown camping fields, some with hook-ups, are served by toilets, showers, washing-up rooms and laundry. Two cabins and two cottages are rented weekly, and pets are welcome.
Umpqua Hot Springs
Umpqua Hot Springs, also called Toketee Hot Springs, is a cluster of terraced pools on an orange travertine bluff above the North Umpqua River in Umpqua National Forest, about 60 miles east of Roseburg. Hot water rises at the top of the slope and spills down through a series of small rock-lined pools, so the upper pools are the hottest, at up to around 115F, and the lower ones cooler. The top pool sits under a small open wooden shelter, and the others look straight out over the river canyon and forest. It is undeveloped and unstaffed: there is no trash service, soap and glass are banned, and visitors must pack everything out. Clothing is optional by long custom and nude soaking is common, though plenty of people wear swimsuits; dark ones are best, as the minerals stain. The springs are hugely popular, especially on summer weekends, when the pools can be packed. Since a 2026 Forest Service order the area is day use only, with no camping and no access between sunset and sunrise. The access road is usually gated in winter, adding a long walk or ski in.
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.
Valalta Naturist Camping
Valalta is a large naturist campsite a few kilometres north of Rovinj in Istria, Croatia, beside the Lim Canal. Listings describe it as covering about 120 hectares with around 1,750 pitches. The site has a large lagoon-style outdoor pool complex, a marina with full services and a range of sanitary blocks. Its beaches are reserved for naturist guests, according to a listing. Dogs are not accepted. The campsite has won several awards, including a 2024 ADAC Superplatz rating and an ANWB recognition, and it is often called one of Europe's best FKK campsites. Season dates vary between listings, roughly late April to the start of October. Prices, availability and the current rules should be checked with the campsite before travelling, as the sources are a mix of listings and older reviews.
Valerian Sun Club
The only naturist club on the Isle of Wight, founded in 1968 on six acres of protected ancient woodland at Havenstreet, within earshot of the island's steam railway. It takes tents and medium-sized campervans and has a shower block, a kitchen and diner, a conservatory, a large club room, a boules court and woodland walks. It makes a good base for exploring the island.
Valley Sun Club
A members' club on about four hectares of landscaped grounds near Harrogate and Knaresborough, with a licensed clubhouse and a regular events programme. It has three miniten courts, volleyball and badminton courts, a nine-hole putting green and a boules area, plus shower and toilet facilities and a visitors' kitchen. Day visitors and campers with tents or caravans are welcome, although there are no hook-ups.
Valley View Hot Springs
Natural warm-spring pools high on the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains above the San Luis Valley, run on a clothing-optional basis by the non-profit Orient Land Trust. The former owners set up the trust in 2001 to protect the springs and the surrounding Everson Ranch. Soakers can choose from several rock-lined ponds and a pool. There are also trails to the old Orient Mine, whose large summer bat colony is a well-known sight.
Valley View Naturist Retreat
Naturist caravan park and bush retreat at the end of Cedar Park Road in Koah, on the Atherton Tablelands west of Kuranda, about an hour from Cairns. It runs as a tourist park for nudist campers and caravanners in tropical bushland, and its host lists events through the Australian Naturist Federation calendar. A 2025 local news report on a nearby development names it as an operating naturist caravan park.
Valley View Recreation Club
A member-run nudist campground on 17 landscaped acres near Cambridge, about 20 minutes east of Madison. Open daily in summer, it has a pool, pickleball court, campsites and fully equipped rental cabins, with organised events most weekends. From 2026 visitors need a visit package or an AANR or TNS membership card, except on special event weekends.
Van Tan Club
The Van Tan Nudist Club is a member-owned naturist club in North Vancouver, widely described as Canada's oldest, having been founded in 1939. Its grounds cover about three hectares of forest, landscaped lawns and gardens on the lower slopes of Mount Fromme, above Upper Lynn Valley, with views over Vancouver. The property is rustic and off the grid: there are solar composting toilets, a wood-fired sauna, a hot tub and a small reservoir pool for cooling off, alongside sunny lawns for relaxing and games. It is reached by a gravel road behind a locked gate at the top of Mountain Highway, so visitors are met at the gate by members. The club describes itself as family friendly; children under 19 must be with a parent or guardian. It is affiliated with AANR Western Canada and runs social events through the summer and early autumn, such as a Thanksgiving barbecue in October. Nudity is the norm on the grounds. Because the site sits on a forested mountainside, expect cooler, wetter weather than in the city and a short, rough access road.
Värsnäs nakenbad
The Värsnäs naturist bath is on the north-eastern tip of the Värsnäs peninsula, about 8 km north of Kalmar city centre, inside the Horsö-Värsnäs nature reserve on Kalmarsund. The reserve has two bathing places, both on Värsnäs; the northern one, at Apelviken, is the naturist bath, while the other is used by clothed bathers. The setting is low coastal woodland that is easy to walk through, with many paths, facing the sound towards Öland. The Kalmarsundsleden trail crosses the reserve and a 2.5 km exercise loop starts at the municipal recreation centre in the middle of the peninsula, which also has showers, a sauna and toilets. At the naturist bath itself there are toilets and parking right beside the bathing area. Because it is a nature reserve, the right of public access does not fully apply: camping, unleashed dogs and fires outside fixed fireplaces are banned, and boats must keep below 5 knots in the reserve waters. Visitors arriving by boat can tie up at the jetty at Söröström.
Växjö Nakenbad
Växjö's nude bath is at Stora Pene, on the shore of Lake Helgasjön on the northern edge of the city, north-west of the Hovshaga district. It sits within the Hovshaga nature reserve, where tall pines stand over small hidden coves and the islands of Helgasjön form the view; the city is not visible from the bathing spots. The municipality lists it as a naturist bath with a toilet, a barbecue area and a windbreak shelter, and the naturist federation's map also notes tables with benches. A jetty serves the naturist bath. It is a small lakeside bathing spot among the pines rather than a long sandy beach. Naturkartan dates the naturist bath in this area to 2015. Cattle graze the surrounding pastures, and in 2018 SVT reported that cows were wandering into the water among the naturists, prompting complaints that the municipality said it would look into. The bath is on the city's cycle network, a few hundred metres past Ryttaretorpet.
Veluwse Bron
Veluwse Bron is a large commercial sauna and wellness resort in woodland at Emst, on the north-eastern edge of the Veluwe between Apeldoorn and Zwolle, set beside a natural lake. It is one of the biggest day spas in the Netherlands, with around 20 saunas ranging from traditional Finnish rooms to panoramic cabins, plus steam baths, a swimming area, warm and cold plunge pools and a herbal bath. Relaxation rooms include a lounge with an open fire, and there are restaurants, massage and treatment rooms, sauna rituals, and an option to stay overnight. As usual in Dutch sauna complexes, the sauna and bathing areas are used nude on normal days, with towels used to sit on and bathrobes worn in the restaurants and lounges. The resort sets aside swimwear days, every Monday and the last Sunday of each month, when swimwear is compulsory and separate changing rooms are used. It is open every day of the year apart from New Year's Day. It is a mixed, mainstream wellness venue rather than a naturist club, so nudity here is a matter of sauna custom rather than naturist membership.
Vera Natura Urbanización Naturista
One of the original naturist apartment complexes inside Vera Playa's official naturist zone, a few minutes' walk from the long nude beach. Privately owned apartments, most with kitchen and terrace or garden, are let to holidaymakers around landscaped gardens and shared pools where nudity is the norm. Unit standards vary because each apartment has its own owner.
Verde Hot Springs
Verde Hot Springs sits beside the Verde River in Coconino National Forest, in the remote canyon country southeast of Camp Verde near the old Childs hydroelectric plant. A resort built here in the 1920s burned down in 1962, and what remains is a set of concrete foundations, steps and tubs fed by warm spring water seeping from the cliff, all covered in decades of colourful graffiti. There is one main soaking pool and several smaller cliffside pools. For decades it has been one of Arizona's best-known places for nude soaking, and visitors should expect to see nude people both at the springs and on the trail, including families. It is completely undeveloped: there are no facilities at the springs, and you must pack out everything. The walk in is short and fairly flat, but it ends with a wade across the Verde River, which is safe only at low flow and can be dangerous or impossible after rain or snowmelt. The cooler months are the best time to go, as summer heat in the canyon is intense.
VfK Berlin-Südwest
Berlin's largest naturist club, a family sports club with a ground of about 40,000 m² in Lichterfelde. Its heart is a heated 25 m swimming pool, complemented by a large sports hall, tennis courts, five beach volleyball courts, table tennis, playgrounds and an extensive programme of courses. Like most German naturist clubs, it is run by volunteer members rather than as a business.
Villa Aikia
Villa Aikia is an adults-only, clothing-optional boutique hotel on Playa Camarón, between the Zipolite nude beach and San Agustinillo on the Oaxaca coast. Sources describe it as about 600 metres from the Zipolite walkway. The hotel has 16 to 18 suites, depending on the source, with ocean views and private terraces with hammocks. Shared features include an infinity pool, a restaurant, and a yoga shala, with yoga and guided meditation on request. Massage and wellness services are available on request. The naturist policy differs by source. Nude Beach Map says clothing is optional throughout the property, including the pool and outdoor areas, while Global Gallivanting says it is optional except in the lobby and restaurant. Guests must be 18 or older. Reviews on booking platforms praise the pool, the views and the service. Current rates and policies should be checked with the hotel, as they may have changed.
Villa d'Abélia
Naturist roulottes (gypsy caravans) on a 4,000 m² plot at the forest edge in Roquebillière, in the Vésubie valley of the Alpes-Maritimes, available year-round with outdoor terraces. The owners share a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, massage table, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and hammocks. The Alpha wolf park and the Berthemont spa are nearby.
Villa Fleurs de Canne
Three one-bedroom holiday cottages at Sainte-Luce in the south of Martinique, two of them with private pools and outdoor areas that protect guests' privacy. A shared area has billiards, a shower room and a pool common to the three units. From November to March the site is reserved for naturists.
Villa PaulAna
Naturist guest house about five minutes by car (20 minutes on foot) from the Cap d'Agde naturist village. Hosts Béatrice and Laurent offer five air-conditioned rooms with Wi-Fi, mainly for couples: three at pool level and two upstairs opening onto a large shared terrace, with shared bathrooms. Guests can relax nude by the pool and garden. The hosts also rent a studio and an apartment inside the naturist village.
Village Naturiste Corsicana
Naturist holiday village of about 200 bungalows by the sea in Haute-Corse, on a site of maquis and eucalyptus forest at Linguizzetta. Guests choose a bungalow or a small stone villa in the nearby San Carlu village. A pizzeria, bar, restaurant, sailing and diving clubs, library and a summer children's garden are on site.
Village Naturiste Oasis (Leucate)
One of seven independent, entirely naturist villages in the car-free naturist area of Port-Leucate in the Aude. Oasis sits on the Île de la Corrège with direct access to the long supervised naturist beach. It has around 320–350 apartments, two pools, a tennis court and a restaurant, and shares the area's shops, water-sports centre and sports facilities. Cars stay in free car parks outside.
Village Naturiste U-Furu
Naturist holiday village in a wild valley crossed by the Furcone river inland from Porto-Vecchio in southern Corsica. Families, couples and friends stay on about 50 pitches or in small 'casetti' cottages, with a modern sanitary block and washing machine. Activities include hiking, tennis, badminton, volleyball and a pool, plus a restaurant and bar. Prehistoric sites and the area's famous beaches are a short drive away.
Villaggio del Sole – Ecovillaggio Naturista
Naturist eco-village on about 3.5 hectares of the Monferrato hills near Asti, built mostly with low-impact, temporary structures. It combines a small B&B (two rooms for up to five guests), a summer camping meadow with 27 shaded pitches, an above-ground pool, a panoramic hot tub, massage rooms, a group hall, a self-service bar and nude trekking paths. Wellness weekends, heliotherapy and massage treatments are a big part of the programme, and there is a children's play area.
Vitambi Springs Resort
Vitambi Springs Resort is a private wilderness campground and resort near Clewiston in Hendry County, popular with gay men. Around two-thirds of the large property is clothing optional. Lodging ranges from inn rooms and cabins to RV and tent sites, with a pool, a lakeside dock with canoes, a bar and a cafe. Check current age and guest rules before visiting.
Viva Tourismo Resort (Naturist Club)
Viva Tourismo is a small, privately run naturist hotel on the north-west coast of Rhodes, on the main coast road towards Kameiros, a short drive west of Rhodes airport and about 17 km from Rhodes old town. It is owned by Nikos and Eleni, the couple who previously ran the island's Naturist Angel Hotel; they built Viva Tourismo a little way down the road from the old hotel so that guests could be right by the sea. There are 14 double rooms, each with air conditioning, a TV, a safe, a wet-room shower and a patio onto the garden. Stays are usually half board, and much of the cooking uses produce grown on the property. The grounds hold a chemical-free pool filled with spring water, sunbeds, a bar with an afternoon happy hour, a restaurant, a small library and a gym, and the resort lists archery, table tennis, petanque, billiards, chess and horse riding among its free activities. A gate leads straight from the garden to the beach. Nudity is the norm throughout the resort; guests are asked to cover their lower half at meals. The season runs from April to early November. Aircraft using the nearby airport pass low overhead, though only for seconds at a time.
Vritomartis Naturist Resort
Vritomartis is a licensed naturist hotel just outside Chora Sfakion on the south coast of Crete, below the White Mountains and a scenic drive from Chania. It has 85 rooms with 161 beds: 42 rooms over two floors of the main building and 43 in eight separate bungalows, plus a group of 'Hidden Ladies Suites'. The hotel runs on a half-board basis, with buffet breakfast and dinner of Greek, Cretan and international dishes on an extended terrace, a lounge bar overlooking the gardens and a pool bar serving lunch. The heart of the resort is a 25-metre pool, set in lawns and gardens and reserved for naturists, with a separate children's pool. There is also a tennis court, a gym, a sauna and hydromassage (extra charge), and free Wi-Fi and parking. From sunrise to sunset, all outdoor areas are naturist or clothing optional. The resort's own beach, Filaki, is a pebble cove about 700 metres away with a snack bar, toilets, showers and rental sunbeds and umbrellas, linked by a free shuttle. Boat trips, diving, hikes and winery visits are organised.
Wai-natur Naturist Park
Wai-natur Naturist Park is a naturist holiday park in the Wairau Valley west of Blenheim in Marlborough, listed on State Highway 63. Visitors stay in cabins or on camping pitches and can spend the day nude around the grounds, set among the vineyards and hills of the valley. It is listed under holiday parks and camping grounds, and the exact access details are usually shared when booking. Contact the park before travelling to confirm opening, prices and visitor rules.
Waikato Outdoor Society
The Waikato Outdoor Society is a small, member-run family naturist club on rural land at Tamahere, near Matangi, just outside the south-eastern edge of Hamilton. It belongs to the New Zealand Naturist Federation and is the federation's only listed club in the Waikato region. The property covers about five hectares, of which roughly one hectare is developed for club use; the rest is open rural land. Facilities centre on modern clubrooms and a solar-heated saltwater swimming pool, with a hot tub, a mini golf course, a miniten court and a children's play area. Overnight visitors can bring a motorhome, caravan or tent, and there is a single cabin. The club pitches itself as a stopover for travelling naturists as well as a weekend base for locals, and its grounds are also open to members of the NZ Motor Caravan Association. Rotorua, Waitomo and Raglan are each about an hour's drive away, which makes it a practical base for touring the central North Island. The main event of the year is a mini rally over Waitangi weekend in early February, lasting three or four days and open to all. As at other NZ clubs, nudity is the norm on the grounds.
Warnemünde Beach
Warnemünde, Rostock's seaside district at the mouth of the Warnow, has one of the widest beaches on the German Baltic, in places 100-200 m of fine white sand backed by a low dune and woodland. Nude bathing has deep roots here from GDR times, and the city still sets aside clear FKK sections. On the Warnemünde side the nude beach runs west from beach access 18 to access 24 towards Diedrichshagen; from 24 to 40 the beach is mixed textile and FKK, while accesses 1-18 nearest the lighthouse and cruise terminal are textile. Across the river, Markgrafenheide and Hohe Düne have further FKK stretches. The FKK strip is calmer than the crowded central beach, with a more local crowd of couples, families and older regulars, and dunes and woods behind instead of hotels. Lifeguards cover large parts of the main beach in season, but the city's beach information notes there is no water rescue on the FKK sections. Accesses 18 and 25 have firm paths to the water and entry aids for wheelchair users.
Wasatch Sun Club
A clothing-optional guesthouse in a quiet Salt Lake Valley neighbourhood, about 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and within reach of the Wasatch ski resorts. The owners, who are AANR members, rent two rooms for overnight stays and welcome day visitors to the pool, hot tub, fire pit and covered patio. It is one of very few nude-friendly places to stay in Utah.
Watford Naturist Swimming Club
Watford Naturist Swimming Club is a members' swimming club affiliated with British Naturism's Eastern region. It does not have its own premises: it hires the pool at Watford Leisure Centre Central on Hempstead Road for a weekly nude session on Friday evenings, skipping bank holidays. British Naturism's events calendar lists the sessions in seasonal blocks, running at about 8.45pm to 10pm in recent years, although the early-2026 listing gave an 8pm start, so check the current time. The session is aimed at swimmers of all levels: lanes are set aside for length swimming and a quieter area for socialising, and the club's description mentions use of the sauna and steam room, where you sit on your own towel. Families come along; accompanied children pay a small fee or nothing, and infants are free. The club describes itself as friendly and welcomes both first-timers and experienced naturists. Nudity is the norm in the pool during the hire. It is one of a number of clubs around London that keep indoor naturist swimming going through the year, and it is a convenient option for naturists from Hertfordshire and north-west London.
Weikerlsee FKK-Bereich
The Weikerlsee is a pair of groundwater lakes in Pichling in the south-east of Linz, formed around 1940 and next to the solarCity housing district. Only the Kleiner Weikerlsee is open for bathing; swimming in the larger lake is banned for nature conservation, and only walking is allowed there. On the small lake, Linz Tourismus places the textile beach in the southern part and the FKK area to the north. The Land Oberösterreich lists the FKK section as a monitored bathing site, with a flat gravel entry into the water marked off by a steel railing. The lake was enlarged in 2000 when solarCity was built, and a 69-metre foot and cycle bridge crosses its narrowest point. There are lawns for sunbathing, playgrounds and a beach bar on the textile side. Entry is free, and dogs are not allowed.
Weir Hot Springs
Weir Creek Hot Springs sits in the forest above the Lochsa River in north-central Idaho, about 68 miles east of Kooskia on US-12 and roughly ten minutes' drive west of Jerry Johnson Hot Springs. Hot water at around 118°F (48°C) seeps from a cliff into a small side canyon of Weir Creek and feeds a handful of volunteer-built pools with gravel or sand bottoms, some edged with split logs. The main pool, on a rock ledge looking out over the creek and cedar forest, holds about ten people and usually runs at or a little under 105°F; a smaller, more secluded upper pool lies against the cliff, and seasonal lower pools sit near the creek and are cooler. There is a faint sulphur smell. Clothing is optional by custom and guides say to expect a mix of swimsuits and nude soakers, especially on busy summer weekends. Because the springs are only half a mile from the highway, they have long been popular and heavily used, and the Forest Service has repeatedly cited litter, human waste, vandalism, drug and alcohol use and night-time injuries on icy slopes. Since 2022 the area has been closed at night, and the regional tourism board has since listed it as closed until further notice, so check before going.
Wellington Naturist Club
Wellington Naturist Club is one of New Zealand's oldest naturist clubs. It began as the Wellington Sun Club, founded by Percy Cousins in 1951; the present site was bought in 1955 and the club was incorporated in 1956. The grounds cover 4.8 hectares (12 acres) at Te Marua at the northern end of Upper Hutt, just off State Highway 2, and the club is affiliated with the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Facilities are better than many small clubs: a large outdoor pool heated to around 28 C from October to April, an outdoor hot tub and an indoor spa heated all year, a sauna fired up on request, a main hall with catering kitchen, a modern guest kitchen and several barbecues. Visitors can hire campsites or cabins with parking beside them. Nudity is expected around the grounds, with exceptions at some events such as dinners and in cold weather, and no clothing at all is allowed in the pools or sauna. The club holds open days with free tours and a summer festival over the New Year period, and it is busiest on sunny weekends.

Wellnesscamping Favora
Small clothing-optional wellness campsite at Eerde near Veghel in Noord-Brabant. Caravans and tents stand in the extended sauna garden, with a sauna, hot tub, natural water and a library on site. There is no entertainment programme, so it suits guests looking for peace. It describes itself as the only clothing-optional campsite in the Netherlands.
Wellnessresort De Zwaluwhoeve
Large, sociable wellness resort in the village of Hierden near Harderwijk, renewed in 2015 with more space, bigger changing rooms, extra saunas and a new hammam. It has between 11 and 20 saunas, including wood-fired and Aufguss cabins, steam rooms, a garden, beauty treatments and massages, plus à la carte and buffet dining. Nude except on swimwear days.
Wellnessresort Elysium
Large wellness resort in the green setting of Bleiswijk, between Rotterdam and The Hague, which claims the most saunas and baths of any Dutch resort. The spacious complex has numerous indoor and outdoor saunas, pools, steam rooms and relaxation areas, and has repeatedly been named among the best wellness resorts in the Netherlands. Textile-free, with a ladies' day on the last Thursday of the month.
Werrong Beach
Werrong Beach is a remote, designated nude beach at the southern end of Royal National Park, south of Sydney, near Otford. It is a small, wild beach at the foot of steep, forested slopes, with no development in sight. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service describes it as a designated nude beach and asks visitors to consider this before deciding to visit. Getting there takes effort: the only land access is the steep, rough Werrong Beach track, rated grade 5 with limited signage, which keeps numbers low. Naturists have used the beach for many years, and guides describe a quiet, mostly regular crowd. Swimming is not permitted, because strong rips and currents run along this unpatrolled shore; visitors come to sunbathe and enjoy the isolation. There are no facilities at the beach; the nearest toilets and picnic areas are at Otford Lookout and at Bald Hill near Stanwell Tops. Carry plenty of water, and avoid the track after heavy rain, when it becomes slippery and leeches are common.
Western Sunfolk Club
A family naturist club on 7.5 acres at The Brakes near Trellech in Monmouthshire, founded more than 75 years ago. It has a heated pool, a clubhouse, games courts, caravan and camping facilities and a modern toilet block. Visitors are welcome, but dogs are not allowed, and when the weather is fine guests are expected to be nude.
Western Swimming Club
A weekly naturist swim, sauna and steam session every Friday from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at Chepstow Leisure Centre on Welsh Street, apart from Good Friday and the Christmas and New Year period. The centre has a 20 m pool, a sauna, a steam room and a small area for chatting. In summer the club organises clothes-optional events for members.
Whispering Oaks
Whispering Oaks is a family-friendly nudist resort set under tall oaks on Baldwin Road in Oxford, in northern Oakland County about 45 minutes north of Detroit. It has operated as a nudist park since 1963 and is affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation; seasonal membership requires AANR membership. The grounds are wooded, and the resort promotes body acceptance for all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. Facilities include a pool, hot tub and sauna, a picnic area and recreation facilities. There is a wide choice of places to stay: full-hookup RV sites, tent and boondock pitches, rental trailers, small cabins with names such as Buddy's Place and Cozy Corner, and king and queen rooms in the lodge. Day visitors must leave by 7 pm. It is a seasonal northern resort, open roughly from late April to early October, with a calendar of social events through the summer and a weekday discount for first-time visitors.
Whispering Pines Nudist Resort
An AANR family nudist resort on 35 wooded acres near Ocean Isle Beach on the southern North Carolina coast, operating since 1976. It has nature trails, a pool and hot tub, and a heated and air-conditioned clubhouse. Weekly Saturday dances, potluck dinners, live music and themed events such as an Oktoberfest and a barbecue contest fill the calendar. Single visitors must be approved by the office before arriving.
White House Club
A family club in five acres of garden on the south-facing slope of the North Downs near Caterham, a few minutes' walk from a railway station and about 45 minutes from central London. It has a pool heated to at least 28 C (open-air in summer, covered in winter), a tennis court, badminton, boules, snooker, a gym, a sauna and a playground. An eight-bedroom house with kitchen and bar can be booked by members.
White Rose Club
Founded in 1944, White Rose Club sits between York and Malton. It has a licensed clubhouse with indoor games and a sauna, petanque, miniten and badminton courts, and a solar-heated swimming pool. Holiday visitors, campers and caravanners are welcome, with electric hook-ups and club caravans for hire. Pets are not allowed apart from guide dogs.
White Tail Resort
White Tail Resort is a family nudist resort on White Tail Drive near Ivor, in rural Southampton County in southeast Virginia, roughly an hour west of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. It describes itself as Virginia's only family-friendly nudist resort and is a member of AANR and AANR-East. Unlike many northern clubs, it promotes year-round use, with a heated indoor pool used for water volleyball, a hot tub, a sauna and a gym, alongside outdoor volleyball, horseshoes, paddle ball, mini golf and petanque. There is a restaurant serving Friday dinners and weekend breakfasts and dinners, a social hall for dances, live bands, karaoke and films, a library, a game room, an on-site store and massage therapists. The resort even has its own chapel with Sunday services and a volunteer fire department. Accommodation includes recently added two-bedroom park models with a kitchen near the pool and event hall, plus RV and camping sites, and many members keep homes or seasonal sites there. The resort publishes a standard of behaviour stressing family values and helps newcomers learn the etiquette. A full events calendar runs through the year.
White Thorn Lodge
White Thorn Lodge is a non-profit, member-owned family nudist club on more than 200 wooded acres on State Line Road near Darlington, in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, right against the Ohio border. It has offered social nudism since 1961 and was incorporated in 1965 as the Western Pennsylvania Health and Athletic Association. It sits within about an hour of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Erie, Canton and Wheeling. The grounds are well equipped: a heated 28-by-60-foot pool and jetted hot tub (both wheelchair accessible), a sauna, outdoor showers, a large clubhouse with a patio for live music, DJs, dinners and yoga, two hard and three deep-sand volleyball courts, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce, a playing field and a children's playground. An old swimming pond has a floating dock and pavilion, and a member-run snack bar serves weekend breakfasts and lunches. Camping ranges from tent pitches to RV sites in the Flats with full hookups, and there are four member-built rental cabins; many members keep their own cottages. The club opens from Memorial Day weekend to mid-September and is aimed squarely at families.
Wigton Baths Naturist Swim
A monthly naturist swim at Wigton Baths, a community pool run by the Wigton Baths Trust on Stony Banks Lane, held on the second Saturday from 1pm to 3pm. It became permanent after successful Great British Skinny Dip events there. The swim is organised by the pool, not a BN club, and costs about GBP 5. Booking is required.
Wilbur Hot Springs
An off-grid health sanctuary in an 1,800-acre nature preserve in the hills of Colusa County, about two and a half hours north of San Francisco. Mineral water flows through a series of flumes at graded temperatures under a covered bathhouse, and bathing in the springs is clothing-optional. There is a historic hotel with a shared kitchen, and guests can hike and cycle the preserve's trails. It is a quiet, contemplative place rather than a party spot.
Wild Willy’s Hot Springs
Wild Willy's, also known as Crowley Hot Springs, is a pair of natural soaking pools in the open sagebrush of the Long Valley Caldera in Mono County, eastern California, at about 6,800 feet and roughly 13 miles east of Mammoth Lakes. The setting is the main attraction: from the water you look west across the valley to the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, with Glass Mountain to the east and steaming ground and salt-crusted flats all around. The larger pool, at the end of the boardwalk, is roughly heart-shaped, about three feet deep and big enough for ten to fifteen people; a smaller, slightly hotter pool beside a rock outcrop holds about five. Water emerges at 102-110°F and the pools usually sit at 98-102°F depending on weather, with a small creek running alongside where you can find cooler spots. It is one of the best-known springs in the area and is often busy, especially at sunset and on weekends, though its size spreads people out. Hot spring guides list clothing as optional, and nude soaking is common, particularly after dark and in quieter hours, with swimsuits also usual. The springs are open all day and night and many people come to soak under the stars.
Wildwood Naturist's Resort
Wildwood Naturist's Resort is a family-oriented nudist resort on 98 acres of woods and meadow just north of Decatur, in Wise County, about 45 minutes northwest of Fort Worth. It is an AANR club in the Southwest region, with members and guests ranging from babies to retirees. Facilities centre on a swimming pool, a hot tub and a clubhouse, and the grounds include hiking trails and a 5K cross-country course. Social life is informal and home-made: water volleyball, horseshoes, pool tournaments, cards, dominoes, team trivia and potluck dinners, with occasional dances. There is no food service, so visitors bring their own supplies. Overnight options include tent sites, full-hookup RV sites and non-smoking rental cabins. The resort is open all year, though visitors are received only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Nudity is the norm: clothing is worn only in bad weather or for health reasons, never in the pool or hot tub, and street clothes are considered out of place. Singles are welcome, but sexual advances lead to expulsion.
Wimborne Sun Club
A family naturist swim group that meets weekly on Sundays, 5pm to 6pm, from October to Easter at the Queen Elizabeth Leisure Centre on Blandford Road, Wimborne. Visitors need a BN card or proof of identity. The pool closed for refurbishment in 2025, and the club planned to resume swims when it reopened, so check before travelling.
Wirral Naturist Club
A naturist swim club that meets at the Northgate Arena leisure centre on Victoria Road in Chester, normally on Saturday nights from 8pm to 10:15pm. The British Naturism listing says sessions were suspended until January 2026 for refurbishment of the venue, so check the club's website for the current schedule before travelling.
Withington Baths Naturist Swim
A monthly naturist swim and sauna at Withington Baths, a restored Edwardian community pool on Burton Road in south Manchester. It runs on the third Sunday of each month in the early evening, about 6pm to 7:30pm, and is organised by British Naturism's North West region as part of the Great British Skinny Dip. Tickets are around GBP 10. Adults only.
Wreck Beach
Wreck Beach is the long clothing-optional shoreline below the cliffs of the University of British Columbia at Point Grey, on the western tip of Vancouver. It lies inside Pacific Spirit Regional Park, administered by Metro Vancouver, and the signed clothing-optional stretch runs for roughly 6 to 7 km from Acadia Beach in the north, around the point and down to Booming Grounds Creek on the North Arm of the Fraser River. The main sandy beach at the foot of Trail 6 is the social hub: in summer it fills with sunbathers, swimmers and roving vendors selling food and drinks, and it has a festive, party-like atmosphere on hot weekends. North of it the shore becomes rockier and quieter, with driftwood, small creeks and the graffiti-covered Second World War searchlight towers near Trail 3. Water is the cool Strait of Georgia, with views to the North Shore mountains and spectacular sunsets. Nude bathing here dates back to the 1920s and 1930s; the Wreck Beach Preservation Society has campaigned since 1977 to keep the beach natural and undeveloped.
Wrekin View Naturist Club
A naturist club in rural Shropshire that welcomes visitors with camping, touring caravan pitches and static caravans for hire. Facilities include a swimming pool, a hot tub, a clubhouse with TV, modern toilets and showers, internet access, miniten and boules courts and a pool table. Membership is also available, and the surrounding countryside is good for walking and sightseeing.
Wulfener Hals
The Wulfener Hals is a narrow spit on the south coast of Fehmarn near the village of Wulfen, separating the Baltic from the Burger Binnensee lagoon. Shallow, current-free water and steady wind make it one of the island's best-known surfing spots, and most of the spit is taken up by the large Camping- und Ferienpark Wulfener Hals, with a golf course nearby. The island's tourism service lists a nude section here, FKK-Baden Wulfen, as a fine-sand beach close to the campsite. According to the campsite, the beach on the spit is widest on its north-east side, where the water stays shallow for almost 200 m, and the nude section lies at the far end of the spit, in the part that is not under nature protection. The very tip of the spit is closed to protect nesting birds, so keep to the signed area. The sand is fine in places and mixed with stones in others, and only the main campsite beach is cleaned regularly; the natural sections are left as they are. A separate dog beach lies west of the harbour mole along the low cliff.
Wyvern Sun Club
A naturist club listed by British Naturism on the Gloucestershire and Herefordshire border. The British Naturism directory gives few details beyond its location, so check the club's own website for its current facilities, visiting arrangements and membership terms before planning a trip. The border country here is rural, with the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean within easy reach.
Yorkshire Sun Society
On the edge of Hull since 1932, this 26-acre club is about 20 minutes from Hull ferry port and close to the East Yorkshire coast. It has a large modern clubhouse with a weekend bar, woodland walks, boules and miniten courts, and a heated pool complex with jacuzzi and sauna, where pool volleyball is a weekend favourite. Visitors can camp, use one of four hook-up hard-standings or rent a static caravan.
Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall
Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall (Yrjönkadun uimahalli) in central Helsinki opened on 4 June 1928 as Finland's first public swimming hall. Designed by architect Väinö Vähäkallio, it keeps its classical columned pool hall and is run by the City of Helsinki's sports services. Because many bathers swim nude, the hall has separate days for women and men instead of mixed sessions: women swim on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, men on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Swimming without a costume is allowed, but each bather can choose whether to wear one. Besides the pool there are several saunas, two saunas that can be rented, and a second floor with rest areas and a café-restaurant, for which separate tickets are sold. The hall closed in 2024 for a major renovation that upgraded accessibility, technical systems, the washing and sauna areas and the facades while keeping the historic interior, and it reopened to swimmers on 3 February 2026. The traditional wood-heated sauna was still out of use in 2026. The hall closes for a summer break each year (24 May to 30 August in 2026).
Zeischaer See
The Zeischaer Kiessee is a large gravel-pit lake on the eastern edge of Bad Liebenwerda in southern Brandenburg, between the villages of Dobra and Zeischa beside the B101, inside the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park. Gravel has been dug here since 1888 and extraction still goes on in the main pit, which covers about 80 hectares and stays under mining law. Bathing is concentrated in the Waldbad Zeischa, a lake bath of about three hectares in a forest-fringed bay in the south-east of the pit, opened as a local recreation area in 1970. Brandenburg's tourism board describes a wide, lifeguarded beach that keeps a spot for FKK bathers; neither the board nor the operator's listings say where on the beach this is, so ask at the entrance. The water is an EU-designated bathing water and is praised for its quality. On site there are volleyball courts, table tennis, boat hire at the jetty, the Zum Waldbad restaurant, a campsite of about 140 pitches and rental bungalows. Angling is limited to marked zones, and the bath and the rest of the pit are run by different operators, so stay within the bathing area.
Zilverstrand Almere
Zilverstrand is a lakeside beach on the Gooimeer at the south-western edge of Almere, near the Hollandse Brug that carries the A6 across to Huizen and Het Gooi. The naturist beach is a signposted section in the middle of the strip: from the car park you first pass a stretch of clothed beach, then reach the nude area, with another small clothed section and a mooring jetty beyond it towards the bridge. A newly paved footpath marks its northern edge. The current naturist beach, around 1.5 hectares, opened in May 2018 after the A6 widening project rebuilt the shoreline; it sits on reclaimed lake bed just in front of the old naturist beach and is roughly a third of its former size. It combines a broad sand beach with a partly flat, partly sloping lawn edged with grass and reeds, and a few young trees that give little shade. The swimming area is a monitored official bathing water, marked by a buoy line, with a gently sloping bottom reaching about 1 metre at the line. Staatsbosbeheer manages the site but maintenance is minimal, so it can look overgrown, and the busy A6 is audible. Dogs are not allowed on the naturist beach.
Zona nudista Arenas Rojas
This is the nudist zone at the eastern end of La Tejita beach, at the foot of Montaña Roja, the red volcanic cone just south-west of El Médano in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, southern Tenerife. La Tejita is about 1 km of golden sand, one of the few long natural sand beaches in the south of the island, and Montaña Roja is a protected nature reserve. The western half near the car park is used by clothed beachgoers; walking east towards the mountain, the beach becomes more private and nude bathing is the norm close to the base of the cone, where the reddish rock and sand give the spot its name. The Canary Islands tourism board lists a nudist zone here. This is one of the windiest parts of Tenerife, popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers, and the swell is moderate; bathe with caution as no lifeguards are mentioned. The Spanish Naturist Federation also lists a small beach on the far side of Montaña Roja.
Zonneleven (Bockstaelhoeve)
Zonneleven is a Dutch-speaking naturist association (VZW) whose ground lies in the Flemish Ardennes at Zegelsem, part of Brakel in East Flanders, on a former farmstead known as the Bockstaelhoeve. It is one of the larger Belgian clubs, with several hundred members, and it says it belongs to the Belgian naturist federation (FBN) and INF. It is a day ground only: there is no camping or overnight accommodation. The site covers a little over a hectare of lawns. Outside there is a large sunbathing lawn, an outdoor swimming pool, two wood-fired saunas, petanque courts, and a barbecue area with an outdoor kitchen. Tables, chairs and parasols are free to use. The old farmhouse holds the clubhouse: a bar with modest prices, a relaxation room with games, books and comics, a room for activities, showers and toilets, and an infrared cabin. Families get a playground, sandpit and trampoline within sight of the lawn, and the club actively welcomes young adults as well as experienced naturists. The summer season in 2026 ran from 11 April to 3 October. In June, July and August the bar opens every weekend and on public holidays, and at other times openings depend on the weather and the volunteers. In winter the club only opens for events.
Zonneweide Amsterdamse Bos
The Zonneweide (sun meadow) is a nude sunbathing lawn in the eastern part of the Amsterdamse Bos, the large 1930s park-forest on the southern edge of Amsterdam that lies mostly within Amstelveen, just north of the A9 motorway. It is not a beach: there is no swimming water, only an open grassy clearing of roughly 1.6 to 2 hectares enclosed by woodland and reached by a single path, which makes it sheltered and private. The forest edges give shade, and part of the lawn around free-standing oak trees is left unmown as a wildflower zone that visitors are asked not to enter. Facilities are minimal: a drinking-water tap and waste bins, with no toilets, showers or catering; the ground was regraded in 2020 to improve drainage. The Amsterdamse Bos describes it as one of the few city parks in the Netherlands where nude recreation is officially allowed. Aircraft from Schiphol and traffic on the A9 can be heard. In 2014 the meadow was threatened with closure because of sexual nuisance; after talks with the NFN it stayed open, and visitors are asked to challenge unwanted behaviour.
