Nude beach
beach that allows nudity / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A nude beach is a beach where people can swim (or do other activitiers) without having clothes on. These beaches usully come in different varietires:
- Beaches that require people to be nude, if the weather permits it. People that are not nude, will not be tolerated. Usually, these beaches are part of a holiday resort, or a club.
- Beaches where people have the choice of going nude, or partly clothed. In Europe, this will apply to most beaches which are part of a commune, which designated the beach as a nude beach.
