Italy has a small but growing naturist community, though public nudity is only legal in officially designated areas. While not as naturist-friendly as some other European countries, Italy offers several recognized nude beaches and naturist resorts. Key spots include Capocotta Beach near Rome, Spiaggia di Guvano in Cinque Terre (now difficult to access), and Marina di Camerota in the south. The northern region also has several inland naturist clubs and lakeside areas.
Naturism in Italy is becoming more accepted, especially in tourist regions, but it’s still relatively low-key. Visitors should stick to designated zones and follow etiquette—no photography, respectful behavior, and covering up when outside nude areas.
