A naturist beach or nude beach is a beach where the users generally wear no clothing. If clothing is optional then, to emphasize that, also the terms clothing-optional beach and free beach may be used. It is one of the most common and traditional forms of public nudity. Nude beaches have first become popular along the French coastline in the 1950s[1]. Koktebel, also known as Planerskoye, is one of the most popular resort townlets in the Crimea, situated on the shore of the Black Sea about halfway between Feodosiya and Sudak. ...

The users of nude beaches are sometimes the target of enforcement relating to legislation banning public nudity, often because of broad language included in laws or bills intended to target sexually oriented businesses. Clothes free organizations such as the Naturist Action Committee have lobbied against such bills.

The clothes-free areas tend to be segregated or isolated physically from the non-nude areas. In other instances people maintain a comfortable space between people dressing differently. Signage is often used to inform beach visitors about what to encounter and/or to segregate different areas on the beach. This accommodates people who are not comfortable with nudity (see gymnophobia). This also accommodates beach users who do not like to be watched too much, especially by clothed individuals (see voyeurism). Gymnophobia is an irrational, abnormal and persistent fear or anxiety about being seen naked, and/or about seeing others naked, even when it is socially acceptable. ...

Motivation
 Family in Brazil, Praia do Abricó People visit naturist beaches for many reasons, including because they enjoy being nude or partially nude, because they enjoy looking at people who are nude, because of curiosity, because of personal philosophy, or simply because they believe that there is no reason to wear clothing (see naturism and nudism). Sunbathing with little or no clothing allows a more even sun tan, eliminating tan lines. See Nudism#Philosophy_and_practice for further information.

Terminology Naturist beaches are variously known as "FKK" (from the German Freikörperkultur), "clothing optional" (C.O.) or "free" beaches; they are also described as being "au naturel". Though the latter term is nominally derived from French, it is not used by speakers of the language to describe nudity (in French, au naturel is used only for food cooked without preparation). In French, nude beaches are called plages nudistes "nudist beaches" or plages naturistes "naturist beaches". In British English the terms "topless beach" and "nudist beach" are most common. British English (BrE, BE, en-GB) is the broad term used to distinguish the forms of the English language used in the United Kingdom from forms used elsewhere in the Anglophone world. ...
Types of nude beaches  Illustration of clothing-optional beach. Most existing nude beaches have been used as such for many years and thus have become "traditionally nude". Many are "unmanaged" beach areas that have been adopted by the local users in an effort to maintain the beach's "quality". Others' right to existence has been recognized as such by one or another legislative body—municipal, regional or national, and are termed "official" (although not necessarily legitimate). One can distinguish between different types of beaches: - Those where nudity is illegal and/or not tolerated. Nudity may result in requests to cover up, uncomfortable glares, a fine or arrest.
- Those that are unofficially tolerated by the "authorities"
- "Official" nude beaches
- Nudity is compulsory unless the weather is bad, etc.
- Clothing is optional (i.e., nudity is permitted but not required)
- Nudity is allowed as the beach is part of a private resort or other private property
Note - though private resorts and hotels may enclose their property behind fences and controlled access gates, the majority of beach-related tourist destination countries do not allow the corporate ownership of the actual beach (Examples would be islands in the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida). Thus, while the property itself can have controlled access and may set standards for clothing requirements, the beach itself remains public access and is subject to local law or common practice. A specific example of this would be the famous Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Jamaica. Though the beach is lined with private resorts with fences down to the sand/waterline, the beach (and subsequent swimming areas) are open to the public. The beach is designated as "topfree", but actual practices vary from resort to resort, and access to the beach is public along the entire seven mile stretch. FINE was created in 1998 and is an informal association of the four main Fair Trade networks: F Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) I International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) N Network of European Worldshops (NEWS!) and E European Fair Trade Association (EFTA) // The aim of FINE is to enable these...

Etiquette on nude beaches Nude beach etiquette takes different forms in different locales. Usually nude beach etiquette spells out bans on all forms of sexual harassment, overtly sexual behavior (such as masturbation or sexual intercourse), predatory behavior, and photography without asking for permission[2].

Nude beaches in the USA  A model sunbathing in South Beach, Florida The first nude beach of the USA was established in San Gregorio in Northern California in the 1960s[4]. In the United States, the popularity of traditional nude beaches has declined somewhat over past decade due to the influx of abusive users,[citation needed] the aging of the nudist community, the efforts on the part of religious groups, usually Christian fundamentalists, to close them down, and in one instance, Federal action intended to protect endangered shorebirds like the piping plover. Various Religious symbols, including (first row) Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Bahai, (second row) Islamic, tribal, Taoist, Shinto (third row) Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, Jain, (fourth row) Ayyavazhi, Triple Goddess, Maltese cross, pre-Christian Slavonic Religion is the adherence to codified beliefs and rituals that generally involve a faith in a spiritual...

However, the number of official nude beaches has, in fact, increased during this period. Most of this increase can be attributed to the ongoing stewardship of local nudist organizations and the establishment of working relationships with—or lobbying of—local municipalities and law enforcement agencies. In fact, clothing-free attractions are increasingly being recognised as being a good source of tourist income.[5].
