An Introduction to Naturism and the Nudist Beaches of Spain

The practice of nudism or naturism is not new to many beaches of Spain where it has been permitted since the law was changed in 1989. For most participants the activity is not fueled by sexual intent but rather an understand that clothing is simply not necessary in this environment.
The sensation of sun, sand, water and cooling breeze unencumbered by clothing allure with an exotic, perhaps primitive experience. For those from colder climes visiting a warm sunny nudist beach can be an unforgettable and most enjoyable vacation that begs repeating at the earliest opportunity. Leaving the strict conventions and stresses of everyday life and finding oneself in a completely uninhibited form on a beautiful sandy beach is both incredibly relaxing yet also stimulating upon the senses.
Here I present my entirely subjective list of the top 5 nudist beaches in Spain:
Playa de Cabopino, Marbella
One of the most stunning beaches in Malaga with a 1.5 kilometer stretch of sand sheltered from wind and the gazing eyes by long sand dunes. There are clothed and nude areas with a bar serving light snacks and beverages.
Cala Morisca, Sitges
A very small sheltered beach of about 120 meters on the coast of Garraf backed by a shallow grassed cliff. The path to this attractive beach is rather steep and surfaced with loose gravel and sand but it's worth the walk. There are showers and sun beds for hire and a restaurant and bar with terrace on the cliff above.
Playa de Nueva Umbria, Huelva
This incredible location is found in the Paraje Natural Marismas del Piedras and Flecha de Nueva Umbria. About 18 kilometers of white sand offer naturists stunning long walks and large sections of empty beach.
Playa Es Trenc, Mallorca
Stretching nine miles the beaches of Sa RĂ pita front a succession of dunes covered with pine trees. The beach is sandy with shallow waves and has a very good atmosphere. The 'textile' areas of the beach are found at either end of the beach leaving most of the beach clothing optional. Snack kiosks are available in the clothed areas.
Playa de Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria
Another very large beach of 8 kilometers this time in the popular Canary Islands. The clothed sections are found next to the adjoining resorts leaving a very large central nudist area and also a popular gay section. Saharan sand forms a large field of towering sand dunes 4 kilometers in area which form a spectacular backdrop for this curved beach.
I hope you have enjoyed my introduction to some of Spain's 'playas nudistas' and that maybe I motivate you to visit one of these incredible beaches.
