FAQ on Nudity and Nudist Life
Q: Doesn't nudity equate with sexuality?
A: This hot potato receives much
discussion. Many naturists believe that the connection arises
artificially in a society where many people see the opposite sex nude
only in sexual situations. Suffice it to say that the practice of
naturism and the pursuit of naturist values and philosophy allows one to
place sexuality into its natural perspective.
Q: Does one go naked all the time?
A: No. That's why the term "clothing-optional"
exists. Clothing has its purposes - warmth and protection. Many
naturists feel more comfortable wearing some clothing while
participating in active sports and there are some activities that
require one to wear protective clothing while participating in them. But
many activities - swimming, especially - can be much more comfortable
and enjoyable without the confinement of clothing.

Why to choose Croatia for your nude beaches
holiday?
As said before, Croatia has a long naturism tradition that goes way
back in the early 20th century. For decades Croatia has been one of
the favorite naturist destinations of western Europeans. Today there
are more than 30 official naturist campsites, tourist villages,
hotels, apartments, nude beaches and numerous more unofficial
naturist bathing places. If you like exclusive naturist resorts with
full equipment Croatia is for you.
If you prefer unofficial, laid back naturist beaches, Croatia is for
you.
If you are a nautical naturist Croatia is ideal for you. Today there
are 41 marinas with all necessary accompanying facilities at its
disposal.
And finally, if you prefer remote, secluded nude beaches, where you
can be alone Croatia is for you again.
Croatia has more than 1000 islands, many beautiful bays and surely
you can find a spot for you surrounded with pine forest and olive
trees . Adriatic sea along Croatian coast is one of the cleanest
seas in the World with translucent, azure color ideal for swimming,
diving, boating...
But Croatia offers not only unspoiled nature and beauty. When you've
done with sunbathing and swimming you can enjoy in small fishermen
Mediterranean villages, ancient towns and monuments (does Dubrovnik
ring a bell?), beautiful architecture , cultural events,
entertainment, excellent food and wine and laid back atmosphere that
everybody notice in Croatia. It is not surprisingly that author
George Bernard Shaw called it "...a paradise on Earth...". So maybe
next time when you think about your naturist vacation, think
Croatia.

Is naturism legal in Croatia?
Yes, naturism is well accepted all along Croatian Adriatic coast.
Except in official nude beaches and resorts you can enjoy in
many more unofficial and you don't have to worry about police or any
other kind of harassment. Topless is very common on other (textile)
beaches.
Maybe it is not unimportant to point out that nude beaches aren't
in remote hard to find areas. Most of them are usually just a walk
away distance from centers of towns, villages or resorts. Many of
the regular beaches have also a naturist section (usually at the end
of the beach). So wherever you come, you can be sure there is a
naturist beach too.
|
When is the best time to come?
In summer, of course! July and August are the warmest months when
the sea temperature reaches up to 28° C (83° F). In that period most
of the tourists come. If you prefer not so hot weather , maybe June
and September are for you. Water is still warm, you will get plenty
of sunshine and resorts are not so crowded. Swimming and sunbathing
is also possible in May or October (if you are not afraid of a bit
colder water). |
Is it safe over there?
Croatia has survived some tragic years in the early 90's but
Croatia's charms are largely intact. Most of the areas popular with
travelers emerged unscathed or have been restored since the war.
Today Croatia is safe as any other country if not even more. It is
very unlikely that you will experience any kind of violence. Crime
level is very low and you will feel perfectly safe.

Yes and no. In Croatia naturist resorts and nude beaches are open to

give you a discount (5-15%). Also some naturist resorts (Koversada,
Solaris...) require valid INF card from single men in order to get

don't have to worry, singles are welcome everywhere.
|

Croatia not only nude beaches and it is considered normal.
|
How about
clothing optional nude beaches and resorts?
Most of the beaches in Croatia are clothing optional. Nude use is
not allowed only on beaches in center of towns and villages. Most of
the other beaches have sections for textile sunbathers and for
naturists. Naturist part is usually at one side of the beach, but
not very far and there are no fences between naturist and textile
sections. Often you can see clothed people among nude ones and vice
versa. Also, most of the naturist resorts are laid back and tolerate
clothing optional policy.
Croatia has many coves and isolated beaches. Some of them are
accessible only by boat. They are all clothing optional. People are
relaxed, some wear swimsuits, some are nude and it seems everybody
is happy with that. It is strictly up to you to.
|
Are all nude beaches listed here?
It is almost impossible to list all of nude beaches along
Croatian Adriatic coast. Everywhere there are many little, hidden
coves often used by naturist. Anywhere you come, you can be sure,
naturist beach is somewhere in the vicinity. Still we'll continue
adding naturist beaches to our listing as we find information. If
you know naturist beach which is not listed here, please contact
Croatia nude beaches and send us your

What FKK means?
Naturist beaches are marked with
signs saying "FKK" for "Freikorperkultur," German for Free
Body Culture.
Nudism, or naturism, is the
practice of going nude or unclothed in social and usually mixed
gender groups, specifically in cultures where this is not the norm.
It sometimes occurs furtively in secluded places in countries where
appearing naked in public is illegal, but enjoys widespread
acceptance in other areas of the world. Those who practice nudism
are called nudists or naturists. ...
