Nudist Beaches in Croatia

Croatia has emerged as a rising star in the world of tourism, captivating visitors with its stunning coastline, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage. While many are familiar with Croatia's breathtaking beaches and crystal-clear waters, it is less known that the country has a long-standing tradition of nudism, making it a renowned destination for naturists. In fact, as far back as the 1970s, Croatia was already famous for its nudist beaches.

One of the top 10 nudist beaches in Europe can be found in Croatia, precisely in the region of Istria. Valalta, situated near the town of Rovinj, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and nudist-friendly facilities. But Istria doesn't stop there when it comes to nudist beaches. There are many more to explore, such as Koversada, which has been catering to naturists for decades.

Heading south, you'll discover Nugal, a hidden gem of a beach. On the island of Rab, you'll find Sahara, a stunning sandy beach that stretches as far as the eye can see, inviting visitors to bask in the sun in their natural state.

If you're yearning for a serene and intimate setting, Vruja is the place to be. Located within a picturesque pine forest, this pebble-stoned beach offers a peaceful oasis where you can relax and reconnect with nature. Meanwhile, Šunj on the island of Lopud awaits with its inviting sandy shores, perfect for those who enjoy long walks and sunbathing au naturel.Last but not least, Borik Beach, situated near the town of Mali Lošinj, offers a unique combination of gravel and large rocks.

Croatia: Nudism Laws

Is nudism legal?

In Croatia, public nudity is strictly illegal, but nudism is legal on designated nudist beaches, often marked with 'FKK' signs. These beaches are typically located in secluded areas, and local authorities enforce rules and regulations to ensure safety and privacy. While topless sunbathing is generally accepted in Croatia, completely nude sunbathing is only permitted in designated areas. It's crucial to respect the local laws and customs when visiting these beaches.
