Naturism on the Beaches of Barcelona

Nudism has been a growing popular phenomenon in recent years. Many people have made it their way of life, others see it as a form of perversion and some live from it. Nowadays you can find camping areas, swimming pools and even entire nudist villages! However, this fashion of nudism seeks its place in our societies.

Germany is a country with a long nudist tradition, while Spain has only allowed nudism for about 20 years. Before the 1980s, a law inherited from Franco condemned conduct that offended “decency, good manners and caused scandals.”

Fortunately, over time nudism has become part of modern culture and has spread to Spain. Barcelona is the perfect case study: many Barcelona beaches are open to nudists. You can even walk naked down the street if you feel like it, there is a law that protects people’s nudity (although it is not that common to see naked people walking around).

Barcelona offers many incredible beaches for nudists, with many services available as well: Red Cross surveillance, sunbed rental, beach bar, toilets… you will find them near very accessible metro stations such as: Barceloneta, Ciutadella, Bogatell, Poblenou, Llacuna , Selva de Mar and El Maresme and Forum. This is also the case of the beach of Sant Sebastiá, Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella and Llevant.

If you go out of the city, Sitges has a semi-urban beach called Balmins that is very popular with nudists. Another famous beach is Home Mort but it is somewhat difficult to reach it. El Garraf offers Parque de las Dunas Beach (in Castelldefels), where the nudist area is closer to Gava; there is also the small beach of Morisca.

For those of you who like the area near Maresme, go to Masnou beach, there is a pedestrian access; Or try Musclara in Caldes d’Estac, also easily accessible and with cleaning service. Other famous nudist beaches are Murtra (Sant Pol de Mar), Forti (Mataró) and Roca Grossa (Calella).
