List of social nudity places in Europe

Naturism in Lake Senftenberg, GDR, 1983

Albania

Naturism is not legal in Albania with public nudity being frowned upon by local authorities and communities. However, there exists a few spots mainly in the south where nudism is tolerated as follows:

  • Zvernec at Dalan beach near Porto Novo is popular with foreign naturist campers. However local authorities have prohibited camping from the resulting pollution as service facilities do not exist inside the protected area. Swimming in Porto Novo is not allowed as it is a dangerous beach. The area is monitored nightly by authorities.
  • Dhermi beach at Dave’s bay near Gjileke and Drymades has been a popular naturist beach however the construction of hotel complexes nearby has made almost impossible the practice of naturism.

Austria

Naturism is popular in Austria, with social nudity places typically indicated by FKK signs. Designated locations include camping spots, beaches, and hotels.[1]

Cyprus

Ammoui Beach, Cyprus

There are no legal nudist beaches in Cyprus. A number of beaches, including the beach at Avdimou, have signs warning that nudism is not permitted. A community leader of Pissouri said that for decades there has been an "unspoken understanding" whereby nudism would be tolerated at an area away from the main beach at Pissouri, but not on the beach of Pissouri Bay. According to the community leader, nudists may visit the area which is on the eastern side of the bay, beyond the cliffs, as it offers some privacy.[39][40]

  • Paphos - Akamas - Lara Beach is the turtle beach, a sandy beach with warm water. Nudists are found there mostly during the winter as the weather is pleasant all year around.
  • Ammoui Beach, Lara Beach is located in the Akamas Peninsula in the Paphos District of Cyprus. It is a long sandy beach and is quiet for its size. Nudists stay at the far end near the white cliffs.[41]

Germany

Naturist beach in Germany

Public nudity is not illegal in Germany but may be regulated by local authorities mostly because of safety and health issues, not morality. Apart from urban areas and public baths (some of which offer nude swimming days), nude bathing is common in Germany: unofficial clothing optional areas exist at most lakes and rivers and other sites, such as abandoned sand and rock quarries. Many designated Freikörperkultur (FKK – Free Body Culture) areas exist at the seaside, at lakes and in baths, especially in the former East Germany, where nudism remains more widespread than in the west. For example, Miramar (located in Weinheim), has a weekly FKK night where there is nude bathing in the entire complex - aside from the waterslides, which require a bathing suit to use. Many unregulated clothing optional (FKK) free beaches are available along the Nordsee and Baltic seashores, Rügen and other islands. The attitude is: all beaches are nude beaches until somebody complains. Families especially like to spend their leisure time in naturist areas; sauna bathing is generally practised in the nude.[419]

The list of social nudity places in Germany includes:[420]

Greece

Komos Beach on the south coast of Crete, near Matala

Netherlands

Public saunas in the Netherlands are always mixed gender and nudity is the norm when using these. In the Netherlands tanning top free is legal on almost all beaches. Municipalities with a beach (usually including quiet parts) tend to have a nudist beach; even if the municipality does not like it, it designates a quiet part as such in order to be able to forbid nudity on the rest of the beach.[citation needed]

A pretty complete list of nude beaches in the Netherlands can be found on the Dutch-language website naaktstrandje.nl. Here you can click on the province of your choice and get a list of beaches and other nudist activities.

Swimmers enter the water at Formentera, 2007.

Public nudity on the beach is, in general, not illegal in Spain, however some local municipalities do outlaw nudity on beaches that are within city limits. The city of Cadiz is one example.[494]

For nudity enthusiasts, Spain offers various options for nude sunbathing. In addition to the long sandy beaches in the vicinity of large cities, topless sunbathing is possible on all beaches, even in front of smaller villages.

Following a request by the Association for the Development of Naturism (ADN) an email was sent by the city of Madrid's sports department to the 21 district heads explaining that municipal pools, if they see fit, have authorization to organize a "Bathing Suit-Free Day", or an "Optional Bathing Suit Day", some time in the 2016 summer.[495]

Female toplessness was officially legalized at the public pools of the municipalities of Galdakao and L'Ametlla del Vallès in March 2016 and June 2018, respectively.[496][497]

Switzerland

Public nudity is generally legal in the entire country with the notable exception of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden where public nudity, including naked hiking, carries a fine of up to 200 Swiss francs. Nude hiking is mainly popular in the sparsely populated alpine regions among nudists, less so in the low lands.[504]

Ukraine

Beach in Koktebel

The nude beaches in Ukraine are closed due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

United Kingdom

Public nudity is legal in England and Wales unless the intent is to cause ‘Harassment, Alarm or Distress’.[505] However, many of the public are unaware of this and nudity elsewhere than an accepted venue may provoke a negative reaction. In 2019 the Crown Prosecution Service published a clarification to help police officers assess whether the law was really being broken in cases of public nudity.[506] In response the College of Policing created a decision aid[507] for its officers.

Though nudity is legal everywhere the following is a list of sites where nudity is not queried by the general public.

England

Cornwall

Devon

Dorset

Hertfordshire

Other counties

Wales

Scotland

Male and female toplessness tolerated on most beaches.[citation needed] The following are beaches where naturism is practised.
