Life’s a Beach – Top 10 Queer Nude Beaches Around the World

A nice beach ignites all the senses: the feel of the warm sun caressing your skin with the golden sand beneath your toes, the gentle lull of the waves serenading your ears, and—with any luck—some sexy eye candy lying nearby. Clothes—even your best speedos—can only get in the way.

Just like bodies, naked gay beaches reach in all shapes and sizes, as well as varying levels of seclusion. We look at an eclectic mix of ten of the best around the world, where bodies of all persuasions are welcomed with open arms and bare chests.

Platja de la Balmins/Playa del Muerto – Sitges (Spain)

Sitges is a quaint Spanish town near Barcelona with a great personality.

Over the centuries the nice golden sand here has been sculpted into an extensive network of dunes extending several hundred metres back from the beach.

    There is a lot of fun to be had at gay beaches and they are particularly famous around Europe.

    Typically, you will find that most superior gay destinations in Europe will have an official gay beach marked on google maps or if not, an ‘unofficial’ queer beach known widely to locals and posted on ga
