As God created us?! Who has not yet dared to go naked to the beach, has missed something in my opinion! Of course I have left my childless teenage figure behind me and I would like to meet naked on the beach also no acquaintances, but streakless tan and the feeling to swim naked belongs on every bucket list.
So what would the idea be if your next vacation was a nudist beach vacation? I have selected a few of the most beautiful nudist beaches for you, where you can also rent nudist beach chairs.
Baltic Sea
1 Nudist in Warnemünde - the beach of many possibilities
With your family, you might feel more comfortable spending your beach vacation in 2023 at a mixed textile and nudist section. At the beach of Warnemünde there are several beach sections where you can drop your clothes. And on the wide, white section of the beach there is certainly enough space to feel comfortable.
2 Nudist in California - the intimate one
You can feel right at home on the beach in California. Shielded by the high dunes, you are protected from the gaze of the strollers on the promenade. The beach chairs are at a sufficient distance from each other and the view of the Baltic Sea will surely make you feel at peace. And even though the beach is no longer an insider tip, it is not crowded even in the high season.
3 Nudist in Boltenhagen - the family beach
In Boltenhagen there are 2 nudist beach sections where you and your family are in good hands. At the beach chair rentals you can rent a SUP, you can also be active at the nudist volleyball net and in the cozy beach chair you will find a retreat to relax or read. The best mixture for the different needs in a family.
North Sea
1 Rantum - the natural one
Behind the large cliff hides the nudist beach in Rantum, which provides a dreamlike backdrop. The beach section is guarded by the DLRG and if you want to visit the beach on colder days, you should definitely visit the beach sauna at the Samoa beach section. By the way, if you don't have a towel with you when you go for a walk, that's no problem, because you can easily borrow one.
2 St. Peter-Ording - surrounded by sand
White sand as far as the eye can see. The beach in St. Peter-Ording is characterized not only by the buildings on stilts, but also by its expanse. The beach chairs stand on pedestals or directly in the sand, and if you're traveling with a dog, there are even nudist beach areas with dogs. Boredom certainly doesn't arise here, because from water sports to beach playgrounds, there's something for every stranded person.
3 Norddorf on Amrum - the flexible
You want to test first whether nudist vacation is something for you? At the beach in Norddorf on Amrum you can set up your beach chair in the color of your choice every day. This way you are completely at ease and can change your mind during your vacation or just test it out once. Behind the dunes on the flat sandy beach, you will quickly feel comfortable either way - regardless of the beach section.
Nudist vacation with the family
Small children feel most comfortable naked. They can explore their own body image in an open environment. They also see different body shapes and understand that every body, every person, is unique. In the best case, the open environment and the self-evidence protect you in the future from wanting to conform to an ideal of beauty.
As a teenager, on the other hand, you deal with your body much more intensively and critically during puberty. Any feelings of shame can perhaps be overcome in the natural environment, but they should not be forced. If your tee-ager doesn't feel comfortable, talk about how you can spend the vacation together. In the meantime, there are also mixed textile and nudist beaches in many places, where your child may find it easier to come to terms with his or her own body and the nudity of others. As a rule, however, special rules apply to children and young people at nudist beaches - they are allowed to be clothed, because at the end of the day we just want to feel good and relax at the beach.
If you want to go to the nudist beach with your family and children, I have summarized a few tips for you:
talk before and after! Talk to your family beforehand about going to the nudist beach. Especially towards teenagers there should be no pressure to "not act like that". Maybe a good conversation will take place after the beach day. Just ask "did you feel comfortable at the beach today?"
Create places of retreat: rent a nudist beach chair, set up a privacy screen or beach shell if beach rules allow it.
"Do you have to pee?" - While children are playing nude, they quickly forget everything around them. So feel free to ask for bathroom breaks every once in a while. And if something does end up in the sand, don't panic! Take a shovel and a diaper and simply remove it.
Are you overcome by an uncomfortable feeling? You feel that you or the children are being watched - then trust your instincts and leave the beach together. You should feel comfortable on the beach and if something seems strange, you can be just as open with your family about it as you are with nudity. Because being aware of your own body also means recognizing when you feel uncomfortable. Teaching your children to react to this in the same way and to remove themselves from uncomfortable situations, perhaps simply as a preventative measure, is also a valuable message in my view,
The rules for nudism in a beach chair
In your head, nudism in a beach chair may sound unsanitary. However, I believe that nudists behave far more hygienically in the beach chair than some clothed beach vacationers.
If you pay attention to the following, you will not be noticed even on a nude beach
Look at eye level ;)
Towel in the beach chair under the popes
Get your coffee with your clothes on
Walk to other sections with your clothes on
If you want to play, play in the sand, but not on body parts
No comments on the body of other guests
No, sex in public is not allowed even on the nude beach
Do not take photos
And now have fun on your nudist vacation, whether with family, with children, with dog in beach chair or just you alone on your towel.
