Nude beaches in Spain: 194 of them, by region

Most guides to this name six beaches and move on. This is every beach in Spain that OpenStreetMap records as naturist: 194 of them across 10 regions and 39 provinces, each one a real mapped place you can open and navigate to. 15 more are mapped but sit on a stretch of coast where the boundary lookup returns open sea, so we have left them out rather than guess the region. We also give the sea temperature month by month for each coast, because in March the question is not where the beach is, it is whether you can get in the water.

Is it legal to be naked on a beach in Spain?

There is no national law that bans nudity on a beach. Public nudity is not in itself a criminal offence in Spain, which is why clothing-optional coves are ordinary along most of the coast. What does exist is municipal: individual councils regulate nudity in streets and promenades through local by-laws, and those vary town by town. On the beaches below, the practice is either officially designated or long established.

How this list is built. The beaches come from OpenStreetMap, filtered to objects tagged nudism=yes, designated or customary that are also tagged as a beach. Hotels, campsites and naturist swimming pools carry the same tag and are excluded: a guide to beaches that opens with a hotel is not a guide to beaches. Region and province come from Nominatim, reverse geocoded from each beach's own coordinates. Sea temperature is the monthly mean of 2021 to 2025 from the Open-Meteo Marine archive, measured at the nearest of the 125 destinations we track, and we print the distance so you can judge it. Beach data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Last checked 2026-09-06. If a beach here is wrong or missing, tell us and we will fix it and say who told us.
