This Spanish Balearic island is home to several well-frequented nude beaches, including the bays at Cala Mago and Cala Varques. Another popular site among many Majorca tourists is the Es Trenc beach on the southern side of the island.
A narrow road leads through salt fields and pine forests to a large car park connected to the beach. This undeveloped area has crystal clear water, dunes and a tropical atmosphere. The scene also draws in plenty of anglers who drop their yacht anchors in front of the beach area. Es Trenc has multiple sections of beach that are perfect for both nude and clothed sunbathing.
The selection of campsites and motorhome stopovers on Majorca is very manageable: There are two official places to go camping on the island: One is near the Santuari de Lluc monastery, and the other is a small site, Es Pixarells, between Lluc and Pollença.
Praia do Homem Nu in Portugal

This coastal bay is in the Algarve region of Portugal. It's on Tavira island, and it lives up to its name, which translates to “beach of the naked people”. Only experienced swimmers should wade their way into the Atlantic, though, because the ocean current can be quite strong.
Nestled in a dune landscape, this section of the beach nevertheless promises quiet hours and privacy. Even during peak season, you’ll be likely to find a spot where you can relax and swim undisturbed.
One affordable overnight accommodation option is the Camping Ria Formosa campsite, which is open all year round.

Want a little more? At Cap d’Agde, you’ll find what’s probably the largest nudist settlement in Europe with direct beach access. (It’s 120 ha in size!) Nudists can do more than just sun themselves and cool off in the Mediterranean: They can also enjoy well-equipped nudist campsites!
Many visitors are already nude when they get to the beach, or they leave their clothes in the car. If you’re feeling awkward, that will quickly fade away, when you see how naturally other beach-goers strip down and accept their own nudity.
For a place to rest your head at night, check out the Les Champs Blancs campsite, located only 2 km away from the beach.

Croatia continues to gain popularity as a tourist travel destination. That includes nudist-tourists, because in this country on the Adriatic Sea, there are numerous beaches where naturism is warmly welcomed.
Not far from Rovinj is the 5 km or so long Valalta beach, which draws holidaymakers in with its quiet, picturesque bays that are perfect for swimming. As is typical of Croatia, the beach is a shingle beach, but there are also sandy areas that are particularly popular with families with children because of its shallow waters at the edge of the sea.
