Clothing-optional and nude beaches in Brazil

Setur Palhoça

Brazil has a vibrant naturist scene, with several officially designated nude beaches, mostly along the Atlantic coast. Public nudity is legal only in authorized areas, but naturism is well-organized and growing in popularity.

The most famous nude beach is Praia do Pinho in Santa Catarina—Brazil’s first official naturist beach. Other notable spots include Tambaba Beach in Paraíba and Massarandupió in Bahia. These beaches often have rules posted at entrances, require respectful behavior, and sometimes restrict access to single men to maintain a safe, family-friendly environment. Overall, Brazil offers scenic, tropical nude beaches with warm water and strong community support, especially in the south and northeast.
