Beaches - Naturist Beaches of Andalucia

There are numerous beaches in Andalucia where naturism is practiced. Many of the beaches which are in locations outside of the populated areas and perhaps in isolated coves have been officially designated as naturist by local municipal councils. There are also a number of naturist complexes where the usual facilities (swimming pools, shops, restaurants) open to residents.

The coastal strips or costas have been given names. General information about them can be found on the following pages. The Mediterranean seaboard is graced by the Costa de Almeria, Costa Tropical and the glamorous, cosmopolitan Costa del Sol, while the Costa de la Luz lies along the Atlantic shore to the west of Gibraltar.
