Clothing-optional and nude beaches in Africa

Africa offers a diverse and emerging naturist scene, with a handful of clothing-optional beaches and resorts mainly along its Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.

Countries like South Africa and Morocco host the continent’s most notable naturist-friendly spots, where clothing-optional beaches blend natural beauty with privacy and relaxed attitudes.

While public nudity remains mostly taboo, select resorts and secluded beaches provide safe havens for naturists seeking sun, sea, and a respectful atmosphere. The African naturist community is small but growing, supported by local clubs and international visitors.
