The naked truth: the best nude beaches in the world

Nudist beaches are gaining popularity around the world. Today, almost every famous resort has its own corner for those who like to relax without clothes. People who practice this way of recreation call themselves naturists (from the Latin “natura” - nature). They see it not only as a desire to take off their clothes, but also as a philosophy of harmony with nature.

There are nudist beaches for every taste: from rocky shores to soft sand, from large city bays to secluded coves.
