For all those that enjoy the soaking up the sun on the BEACH and find bathing suits too restrictive, you might be on the lookout for NATURIST beaches. Escape the routiness and boredom of everyday life !!
THE NUDIST BEACHES OF TRIESTE & ISTRIA
Fancy an all-over, full-body, golden tan? Get your kit off and feel the breeze and the sun on your skin on one of Trieste´s nudist beaches!
FRIULI V.G. is a wild district and little known, one of the most famous destinations is Lignano Sabbiadoro, ideal if you are looking for beach clubs but it isn’t as beautiful and special as the coast around Trieste. ‘Andare al bagno’ (i.e. going to the sea) is a typical expression of Trieste to indicate the beach club, but from the pine forest of Barcola up to Miramare, Trieste is a whole promenade of rocky coastline and crystal clear waters similar to those that you can find dipping in the sea of Croatia.

FKK-Nacktbaden in Strand Costa dei Barbari (Sistiana)
An diesem wunderschöenen Strand ist das Meer warm und die Sonne scheint im Sommer bis 21:00 Uhr, das Wasser ist immer sauber, man kann die Tiefe sehen. Hier trifft man Naturisten aus Trieste, Gorizia, Pordenone, Udine, Treviso, Slovenien und Kroatien. Da der Fußweg etwas beschwerlich ist, kommen vorwiegend jüngere Naturisten hier her. Don't miss it ! Der Strand und sein Klima erlauben Baden bis mindestens 20.30 Uhr. Publikum: Mindestens 90 % männliche Nackt(sonnen)badende. Auf der Hauptstrand herrscht viel am Wochenende dichteres Beisammensein als auf den bekleideten Stränden. Total entblößte Körper dicht an dicht, fast wie in der Sauna. Ein Blick auf Gay-Cruising-Karten im Internet bestätigt: Dortige Badeorte werden als Hotspots weiterempfohlen. So schreibt ein User: «Es ist ein wunderschönes FKK-Gebiet. Auch in Sachen Sex läuft da einiges.»

Free nude Beach Costa dei Barbari ( Sistiana)
These narrow, rocky, very scenic Fkk beaches near Sistiana draw on their different zones a crowd of male nudists, families and some textiles. This location is about 2 kilometers south from Sistiana. Crystal clear waters and a tolerant, relaxed atmosphere with both nude and swimsuited folks.. Isolated beaches are surrounded by high shrubs, craggy rocks and driftwood.. The nude zone also includes the portion of water within the cove, which made this area equally popular with boaters. Several boats were anchored just a short swim away from the beach, where their passengers lay nude on the deck.. Beyond the beaches, flat rocky cliffs extend for a few kilometers.. It is very easy to traverse these outcrops, which are also clothing optional.. Lots of secluded spots behind rocks for some "outdoor fun," too.. Although Costa dei barbari may have a steep path and not the easiest beach to climb, but it is definitely worth visiting on account of its natural delight and it is truly a paradise for naturists. That's where you find the young naturists -- manies are in their 20s and 30s. Average age range: The most common age in the wild northern part (mixed) is 30/45, on the main (mainly gay) beach is 25/40, in the southernmost ( family & couples) part is 35/55. A public boat line from Trieste reach Sistiana Bay, from there a 10 minute hike to the south ( left of Beach Restaurant Castelreggio and through Marina Portopiccolo ) leads you to the clothing optional beaches, which are situated on small tidal coves, and then to the main nudist beach. This is one of the renowned beach destination for nudists and frequented by lot of locals and foreign tourists due to its unique ambience and different range of clientele found here. Has this got you intrigued ? Costa Dei Barbari is hardly a 15 minutes drive by car from Trieste downtown, commencing from Sistiana along the coastal road heading towards Trieste. This beach is well connected through some good transport facilities (bus 51) to reach this destination. The more beautiful beach lies in the middle ( see pictures above ) The main beach is very popular with gay nudist males. It's clothing optional here, but nudity is expected. The lovely natural surroundings makes it a popular tourist attraction. It can get crowded here on weekends in summer, but we can say say that's a great time to join in if you're new to it. You'll blend in to a naked young male adults crowd. No need to feel self conscious. It provides good sights. The large majority of people on the northern part and on the main beach are males, while families and females prefer the extreme southern part of shoreline, just before the hotel Europa. Due to mostly male and generally young and very well looking clientele the main beach is very popular with gays. Barbari is quite a narrow beach with white cobbles and pebbles. It’s also very picturesque, completely surrounded by nature and often cited as one of the Top 15 Beaches In Italy. Costa Dei Barberi is also the main gay beach in this northern region of Italy so frequently receives visiting gays from nearby Slovenia, Austria and Croatia. During the week It is less crowded as compared to the other beaches and has remarkably clean waters, with a coastal rock, which makes it the most sought after destination among the visitors. Moreover, this beach has been officially designated as a nudist beach and hence people who enjoy nudist activities can surely enjoy the unique experience to seek greater pleasure and relaxation.. Biggest surprise, especially on weekends, will be the many people as young as 20/30 on the main beach and that everyone is so casual with the whole naked thing, walking around au naturel ! On weekends it much more crowded than during the week, and there are some more girls there than on many weekdays. This is one of the few nude beaches where the under-30 age group is well-represented, easily making up between one-third and one-half of the weekend crowd on average. To reach it from Trieste, by car or bus, just entered the village of Sistiana in front of the Bus Stop ( n. 51) a road leds down to Portopiccolo harbour, then a path along the sea to the nude beach direction south ( 300 mts.) If you do not like steep paths, you can park your car in the Bay of Sistiana or in Portopiccolo (after 5 PM free parking) and then walk about 1 km. all along the beaches, direction South : a hike through the cliffside scenery leads you trough the clothing optional beaches. This coastline has no services, but perhaps this is why it has maintained its wild beauty. You can reach it by sea if you have (or rent) a boat. Those who are there for several hours may alternate between nudity and swimsuits as the spirit moves them and it's no big deal.. Unlike some "familiar" nude beaches, the northern part offers a freewheeling and indulgent naturist experience for singles and couples. No families or children here.. You can sit on these cliffs with the ocean surging just meters below.. On the right day, the waves crash like thunderclaps and white foam and spray lift high in the air.. If you do not enjoy the heat of the beach, you can nestle beneath large stones to escape the breeze and find any degree of privacy you might prefer.. You can only hear the sounds of nature and some quiet friendly maritime conversation, and on occasion you can see dolphins from the peak of these rocks.SPIAGGIA NUDISTA LIBURNIA - costiera triestina
Der ca. 5 km lang FKK-Strand besteht aus einer Vielzahl von kleinen und großen FKK-Badebuchten mit Kiesel- und Felsstränden, teilweise mit Felsplateaus.
This familiar nude beach is full of a mixed group of people, ranging from families with children to couples. On any given weekend there are hundreds of people, so get there early and bring suntan lotion. As a familiar nude beach, overt public sex is definitely frowned upon, but in-ocean cuddling and kissing is tolerated.
Age range is 35/45 and male/female ratio is 70/30. In the northern section ( in the picture ) you can find single young guys or couple of male friends in the 30's. From Sistiana take the coastal road for Trieste, passed the highway park your car in the layby placed 150 meters before the gallery. Follow the path that goes down the cliff: it begins with iron stairs that comes out on a steep, uneven path leading directly to the beach. If you prefer to go down from Canovella (stairway), when you are on the beach turn left and stop when you see nude people. Bring with you shoes for swimming and an air-bed to lay down on the beach.
SPIAGGIA NUDISTA DEI FILTRI - costiera triestina
Just a few kilometers before the previously listed beach, this beach is another alternative for nudists in the Trieste area. Although not widely known to tourists, the beach has a local following due to the advocacy of a local naturist group. The nudist beach is reached from Via Piccard, a dead end near the Santa Croce intersection leading to the Bellariva restaurant and its beautiful textile beach.
Then you have to walk 1 km. to the right until you see naked people sunbathing : just follow along the foreshore towards the Marine Biology Laboratory and small port. After passing a small wooded area, there is a beautiful beach that has fresh water from a spring.
Nude beaches, clothing optional travel nude spa and pools and nude recreation have exploded in popularity over the last 5 years. It doesn't occur to vary many people how to camp nude.
DARE TO BARE !!
Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature, characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging respect for oneself, respect for others and for the environment.Naturism is the practice of complete nudity in a communal setting. While this may be its most obvious definition, it is part of a much wider context. The purpose of naturism is to promote wholesomeness and stability of the human body and mind. This comes most easily to those who shed the psychological and social encumbrance of clothing to see and respect the human body as created. Naturism also promotes optimum health through complete contact of the body with the natural elements, e.g. sun, wind, air, water.
It is practised as much as possible in environments free of the pollutants and stressful components of modern society. It is therefore associated with an enlightened, holistic approach to nutrition, physical activity, mental functioning, and social interaction. Naturism is founded on family participation. Nude living thus removes apprehensions and barriers which have hindered communication between people and appreciation of the environment. It leads to healthier and more humane living: richer and simpler, enlightened by joy and freedom.
Nudist Campground COVERSADA (ORSERA)
The
most famous naturist centre on the
Adriatic and one of the oldest in
Europe, founded in 1961, Campsite
Koversada is a relaxed paradise of
clothes-free living that puts you in
contact with nature so you can freely
celebrate life.The best places to work
on your tan are the stone and paved
plateaus that ease into the water. For
those who enjoy swimming more, there are
pebble beaches and a rare sandy beach in
Koversada.There are 1,700 pitches (all
with 10A electricity), a shopping centre
and its own island, which is reached by
a narrow bridge; the island is suitable
only for tents and has a restaurant and
two toilet blocks. Between the island
and the mainland is an enclosed, shallow
section of water for swimming. The site
is surrounded by a long beach, part
sand, part paved. The pitches are of
average size on grass and gravel ground
and slightly sloping. Pitches on the
mainland are numbered and partly
terraced beneath mature pine and olive
trees. Pitches on the island are
unmarked and have shade from mature
trees. The bottom row of pitches on the
mainland enjoy views over the island and
the sea.
Some
nudist campgrounds are, weather permitting, nudity-required. Others may
be deemed as clothing optional campgrounds. That said, almost all nude friendly
camping facilities will require people to be nude in the pool, lake or sauna.
The term clothing
optional means that each individual has the right to determine the amount of
nudity he / she feels comfortable with. But if there are areas where being naked
is a must, those people will need to disrobe if they want to use those specific
facilities.
One of the most persistent questions, especially, but
not solely, from new nudists with free beach experience; is some variation of:
'Why on free nude are there so many naked men and so few naked women?
Just why do so many more men than women seem to enjoy social nudity?
One of the most persistent questions with free nude beach experience: 'Why are there so many naked young men and so few nude young women?'
The free nude beaches are patronized mostly by men but only lightly sprinkled with a few older women.
There doesn't seem to be any consistent answer to this question. The question tends to fade into the background - that's just 'how it is.'
But maybe there is a reason. A biological reason.
International surveys have ranked a series of 'human qualities.' The two most universally appreciated qualities are: kindness and honesty. Not a big surprise. But the third on the list showed a distinct male - female dichotomy. For men it is 'beauty' and for women it is 'security.' So, the fundamental things distinguishing the male and female psyche is the seeking of form or fortune, respectively.
For the human species, men are thus impelled by the beauty of form, while women seek security (which these days is conflated with wealth), from the perspective of the best survivability for the offspring, and themselves.
Now, surely: it's obvious! Initially, men are driven to visit a 'nude beach' to 'check-out the chicks and/or the other guys.'
Young women, on the other hand, not having the same biological need, may simply turn up for a bit of relaxation - only to discover a man or two too many, primarily there to ogle.
So they don't go back! That's why men find virtually no 'chicks' on the nude beach.
A lot of men though, discover new values on the free nude beaches: total relaxation without women, the pleasant sight of handsome naked guys, maybe the ease of occasional sexual fun with them. So many of them keep going back !
FKK Camp Solaris in Torre di Parenzo ( Istria) - Nudist Swimming Pool
While nude camping isn't for everyone, those who enjoy it find that it is a wonderful source of recreation.
Nudity is a very normal, natural, and comforting state to be in (usually). Yet it is ironic that most people do not feel comfortable in the nude. Camping on the other hand, has been a notable hobby since the early 20th century, and has served as man's attempt to reconcile his differences with nature. So, to camp nude, it would seem, is the ultimate "au naturale" experience to be had by man.Naturist families can meet people with similar interests in a safe, family-friendly nudist environment. Many nudist campgrounds advertise a “family friendly” environment, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they are populated with kids.
Other
campgrounds are for men only. So calling
ahead before visiting these places would
be a wise move! Most naturist
campgrounds provide a general store for
the convenience of campers to pick up
charcoal, ice and other simple
necessities.
Snack bars are sometimes
available and a parking pad may be
provided in some campgrounds, even for
RV campers.
Campgrounds vary in their shower and bathroom facilities. Some have indoor facilities and private shower stalls in a public building. Please note that some campgrounds might only have outdoor showers, without having anything in place for privacy. If this might be an issue then it would be a good idea to research the facilities beforehand.
Naturist campgrounds encourage individuals to relax naked / clothesfree, while communing with nature.

Some nudist campgrounds cater to a particular interest, while others offer a large variety of activities. Some of the naturist campground activities may include: Nude Sports – Nude volleyball is generally offered on the beach, grass or sometimes a court. Many of the nudist campgrounds provide walking and/or biking trails, shuffleboards and horseshoes. Nude Swimming – Beaches or pools may be provided for skinny-dipping. No need for concern over tan lines on these beaches – just be comfortable in your own skin and you will have a wonderful time. It is part of nudist etiquette to always sit on a towel. Camping in the nude is an amazing adventure, for those brave enough to attempt it.
The natural feeling of bearing the wilderness with no clothes on your back can't be beat, albeit by truly be comfortable with yourself. As with anything in life, do your homework on the area you plan to explore while nude, and stay away from potentially damaging animals, plants, weather, and environments in general.

FKK: Nacktheit für Männer, ein Gefühl von Freiheit
Nackt sein oder nicht sein, das
ist hier die Frage: Rund 40 Prozent der
Deutschen - darunter jeder zweite Mann -
haben schon einmal einen FKK-Strand
besucht. Das ergab eine Umfrage von
deals.com (http://www.deals.com), dem
Portal für kostenlose Gutscheine und
Rabatte. Fast die Hälfte der Nacktbader
(44 Prozent) gibt jedoch an, vornehmlich
als Kind dort gewesen zu sein.
Bei der Frage, wie viel nackte Haut
am Strand erwünscht ist, scheiden sich
männliche und weibliche Geister: Während
das starke Geschlecht textilfreies
Sonnen und Baden genießt und mit
Freiheit verbindet (38 Prozent, nur 14
Prozent der Frauen), ist es 21 Prozent
der Damen einfach nur peinlich (elf
Prozent der Herren). Aber, ob aktiver
FKK-Urlauber oder nur gelegentlicher
Nacktbader: Die meisten Deutschen sind
tolerant und halten Freikörperkultur für
Geschmackssache (69 Prozent).
- Jeder dritte Mann ist gerne nackt
und empfindet FKK als Freiheit
-
Nacktbaden hilft sparen: Männer geben
nur halb so viel für Bademode aus wie
Frauen.
Nackte Tatsache: Frauen meiden
FKK-freie Strände
Augen
zu und durch: Rund jede vierte Frau
findet den Anblick von nackten und
schwitzenden Körpern am FKK-Strand
unangenehm (23 Prozent). Das mag auch
daran liegen, dass nur 16 Prozent der
Damen angeben, selbst gerne nackt zu
sein. Die größte Sorge jedoch ist eine
andere: Fast jede zweite Frau hat Angst
davor, im FKK-Bereich gefilmt oder
fotografiert (48 Prozent) oder von
Fremden beobachtet (41 Prozent) zu
werden.
Hosen runter für die
Freiheit: Männer mögen's ausgezogen
Die Männer dagegen verbinden mit FKK
vor allem ein Gefühl von Ungezwungenheit
(38 Prozent) und sind gerne nackt - das
bestätigt fast jeder dritte Mann (30
Prozent). Ein Grund dafür liegt
überraschenderweise in der Eitelkeit des
männlichen Geschlechts: Jeder siebte
Mann (14 Prozent) verzichtet auf die
Badehose für die perfekte Bräune und
immerhin acht Prozent stehen auf FKK, da
sie gerne ihren Körper präsentieren.
Männer, die sparsamen Nackedeis
Männer baden gerne nackt - und das
zahlt sich aus: Sie geben jährlich
lediglich 22 Euro für Bademode aus. Mit
rund 44 Euro lassen Frauen das Doppelte
für den perfekten Strandlook springen.
Also einfach mal alle Sorgen und Hüllen
fallen lassen und der Tradition der
Freikörperkultur wieder eine Chance
geben - das vermittelt nicht nur ein
Gefühl der Freiheit, sondern ist auch
noch sparsam.

The Philosophy of Nudism
When distilled to its purest form, nudism is about making or rediscovering a connection with nature through the experience of naked living. When practiced in a community of people in a nurturing, safe and welcoming environment, the freedom to go deeper into one’s own identity affords a sense of freedom and peace that advocates say is unequalled in any other way.
Many say that the practice counters the rigours and stresses of everyday life, promoting a sense of calm and allowing a deepness of breath (both internally and through the skin) that allows you to be more mindful and focus on the present without distraction. It’s also a method of establishing an authentic connection with, and acceptance of, your own body.
In addition to nudist resorts and nudist beaches, nudists are able to practice the naturist philosophy at nudist or clothing optional campgrounds. From spring til autumn, or throughout the year in warmer climates, many naturists enjoy camping in the nude.
Nudist campgrounds invite people to relax nude / clothes-free, while communing with nature. The management of these campgrounds, for the most part, believes in welcoming people of all colors, genders, shapes and sizes. The campgrounds are meant to provide a place for a naturist to practice his / her philosophy in a natural surrounding.
Sunbathe naked by the pool, spend a day at the beach or surrender to the freedom of wearing no clothes at the FKK Nudist Camp. The types of people that enjoy nude camping are very diverse. There are different goals and/or intentions of each individual naturist. Before you try naturism camping, you must be clear on your beliefs and goals of social nudity and find people to camp with who have the same beliefs as you. Following are some thoughts on why people like to camp in the nude: A nude camper wants to enjoy the great outdoors unencumbered by clothing and other hassles. Feeling the sun and breeze on your entire body is wonderful.
Many nude campers have completely moral objectives in mind and just want to enjoy nature. According to the Naturist Society, "social nudity is not a code word for sex. "
Well, may be. But how many other naturist campers do have the goal to 'hook up' or meet other adults that have like-minded motives to have sex in a completely free party atmosphere ?
Strugnano - Golfo della Luna
These beaches are best known for its wild kind of life, which clearly means you can see a lot of nude men, swimming and enjoying a great time. Most of the times, is a point visited only by guys. These beaches are often an amateur physique contest and a very serious one, with plenty of handsome naked guys. Sorry, for nude girls seems not to exist anything similar.
Freie FKK-Gelegenheiten (Seen, Saunen ect.) sind traditionelle Treffpunkte von Schwulen und bisexuellen Männern, die schwule Kontakte suchen . Eine derartige lesbische "Szene" scheint es leider nicht zu geben; jedenfalls nicht beim FKK. Italy, Slovenia & Croatia are a hotbed for some of the finest men in the world. Many of them just love to bare it all at one of the gorgeous free nude beaches !
