About this place
Platja de les Dunes sits along Santa Susanna's coastline in Barcelona province, part of the Costa Brava's naturist-friendly beach tradition. This designated nude-use zone occupies a stretch of sandy Mediterranean shoreline where clothing-optional sunbathing has been practiced for decades. The beach itself is relatively undeveloped—expect natural dunes, open sand, and direct access to the sea rather than resort amenities. Spain's Mediterranean coast has long accommodated naturism, and this stretch continues that tradition without the infrastructure of a formal beach club. You'll find the typical beach experience: sun, sand, and swimmers, but in a naturist setting. The area draws on Catalonia's generally tolerant attitude toward social nudity, making it accessible to both Spanish visitors and international travelers exploring the region's naturist options. Because it's a public beach zone rather than a private resort, there are no entry fees or membership requirements—just the usual considerations for any Mediterranean beach visit. The setting is straightforward: a place to swim, sunbathe nude, and enjoy the coast without pretense. Expect minimal facilities; this is beach naturism in its simplest form, appealing to those who prefer natural settings over managed resorts.

Cala Morisca
Cala Morisca is a small, rocky cove along the Sitges coastline in Cataluña, recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo as an official clothing-optional beach. Tucked between the more famous beaches that draw Sitges' international summer crowds, this quieter stretch offers naturists a less touristed alternative, though you'll find a mix of clothed and nude sunbathers depending on when you visit. The cove itself is pebbly with rock formations that provide some natural windbreaks and a bit of visual privacy. Morning hours and the shoulder seasons—May, June, September—tend to see the highest proportion of naturists, while peak summer weekends bring more textile beachgoers who may not realize the cove's naturist status. Spain's relaxed approach to beach nudity means there's no enforcement drama; nudity is perfectly legal here, and locals are accustomed to seeing it along this coast. You'll need to bring everything with you—there are no facilities, no shade structures, and no beach bars at the cove itself. The rocky terrain and lack of amenities keep crowds manageable, which is part of the appeal for naturists seeking a low-key beach day. Sitges as a town is LGBTQ-friendly and cosmopolitan, so the overall vibe in the area is open-minded and relaxed about bodies.

FKK Strand - Beach Nudist Area - Platja dels Pins
Platja dels Pins is a clothing-optional beach section in Pineda de Mar, about 50 kilometers north of Barcelona along Catalonia's Costa del Maresme. Officially recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo, this sandy stretch accommodates both naturist and textile sunbathers, with the naturist presence strongest during weekday mornings and the shoulder seasons of May, June, and September. The beach sits in a tourist-friendly coastal town, so summer weekends see heavier textile crowds, while committed naturists often prefer the quieter early hours. Spain's relaxed legal stance on nudity at designated beaches means you won't encounter fines or harassment from authorities here. The setting is straightforward Mediterranean coast—no dramatic cliffs or hidden coves, just open sand with reasonable access from nearby parking and the coastal promenade. Water quality along this stretch is generally good, though urban beaches can see some crowding in July and August. Catalonia has dozens of recognized naturist beaches, and Platja dels Pins functions as a convenient option for Barcelona-area residents and visitors staying along the Maresme coast. It's not a dedicated naturist resort or remote sanctuary, but rather a practical, socially comfortable spot where clothing-optional sunbathing is simply one accepted option among many. The town of Pineda de Mar offers cafés, groceries, and accommodation within walking distance.

Nudist Beach
You'll find this clothing-optional coastline in Calella, a beach town roughly 50 kilometers up the coast from Barcelona on Catalonia's Costa del Maresme. The spot appears on the Federación Española de Naturismo's official list of recognized naturist shores, marking it as a stretch where social nudity is formally accepted by local authorities. It's probably a small cove or designated section along Calella's waterfront rather than a sprawling resort beach. Like much of Spain's Mediterranean coast, the vibe here shifts with the calendar and the crowd—expect a stronger naturist presence on quiet weekday mornings and during the quieter months of May, June, and September, while peak summer weekends tend to draw more clothed beachgoers and dilute the clothing-optional atmosphere. You'll be sharing the sand with textile visitors some days, but that's normal for Spain, where beach nudity is broadly accepted and you won't face legal trouble or harassment at FEN-listed sites like this. Catalonia in particular has long embraced naturism as part of everyday beach culture. Access is likely via foot from nearby parking areas or along the coastal walking path that connects Calella's various beach zones. Don't expect much in the way of amenities at the naturist section itself—no beach bar, no rental umbrellas. Bring your own sunshade, drinking water, and snacks, and treat it as a low-key local option rather than a destination beach with full services.
