I've been to a few nude beaches that have felt fiercely straight. But you might have your own ideas on what makes for a 5-star
nude beach.
If this works, we could compile a full list with notes and directions on how to get there. Here's some to kick the process off - it's very
much a personal list, only a few of which might feature in a gay guide. Consider too that some I last visited years ago now and that there
are plenty of others I've not visited at all.
UK:
Holkham, North Norfolk (take windbreak)
Studland, Dorset (but can get crowded)
FRANCE:
Ardeche river bathing
Cap d'Agde (south of France)
SPAIN:
Playa del Torn, L'Hospitalitat del l'Infant, Tarragona Province
Papagayo national park, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
Gran Canaria (Playa del Ingles)
PORTUGAL:
Praia do Meco, south of Lisbon
GREECE:
FKK beaches by boat from Naoussa, Paros (avoid August)
CROATIA:
FKK beaches by boat from Hvar (though don't expect sand)
GERMANY:
Teufelsee, Grunewald, Berlin
AUSTRALIA:
Maslin Beach, south of Adelaide
or for beauty without people, almost any deserted beach
e.g. in Cape le Grand national park, Esperance, Western Australia
SOUTH AFRICA:
Sandy Bay, south of Cape Town (cold water!)
AMERICAS:
Zipolite, Oaxaca province, Mexico
Playita, Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
Herring Cove, Provincetown, Mass, U.S.
Golden Gate beach, San Francisco, California
Black's Beach, San Diego, California
So, any suggestions?
