Cyprus

Ammoui Beach, Cyprus

There are no legal nudist beaches in Cyprus. A number of beaches, including the beach at Avdimou, have signs warning that nudism is not permitted. A community leader of Pissouri said that for decades there has been an "unspoken understanding" whereby nudism would be tolerated at an area away from the main beach at Pissouri, but not on the beach of Pissouri Bay. According to the community leader, nudists may visit the area which is on the eastern side of the bay, beyond the cliffs, as it offers some privacy.

• Paphos - Akamas - Lara Beach is the turtle beach, a sandy beach with warm water. Nudists are found there mostly during the winter as the weather is pleasant all year around.

Naturist beach in Germany

Public nudity is not illegal in Germany but may be regulated by local authorities mostly because of safety and health issues, not morality. Apart from urban areas and public baths (some of which offer nude swimming days), nude bathing is common in Germany: unofficial clothing optional areas exist at most lakes and rivers and other sites, such as abandoned sand and rock quarries. Many designated Freikörperkultur (FKK – Free Body Culture) areas exist at the seaside, at lakes and in baths, especially in the former East Germany, where nudism remains more widespread than in the west. For example, Miramar (located in Weinheim), has a weekly FKK night where there is nude bathing in the entire complex - aside from the waterslides, which require a bathing suit to use. Many unregulated clothing optional (FKK) free beaches are available along the Nordsee and Baltic seashores, Rügen and other islands. The attitude is: all beaches are nude beaches until somebody complains. Families especially like to spend their leisure time in naturist areas; sauna bathing is generally practised in the nude.

The list of social nudity places in Germany includes:

• The Schönfeldwiese in the Englischer Garten, Munich as well as the southern part of Feldmochinger See, in the northwestern suburb, the peninsula in Lake Feringasee in the northeast and the de:Flaucher at the river Isar south of the city center of Munich.
• The Tiergarten, Berlin
• Strandbad Wannsee, Großer Wannsee, Wannsee, Berlin
• Travemünde

Spain

Women sunbathing in monokinis/topfree on a beach in Barcelona. 41°23′40″N 2°12′27″E

Swimmers enter the water at Formentera, 2007.

Public nudity on the beach is, in general, not illegal in Spain, however some local municipalities do outlaw nudity on beaches that are within city limits. The city of Cadiz is one example.

For nudity enthusiasts, Spain offers various options for nude sunbathing. In addition to the long sandy beaches in the vicinity of large cities, topless sunbathing is possible on all beaches, even in front of smaller villages.

Following a request by the Association for the Development of Naturism (ADN) an email was sent by the city of Madrid's sports department to the 21 district heads explaining that municipal pools, if they see fit, have authorization to organize a "Bathing Suit-Free Day", or an "Optional Bathing Suit Day", some time in the 2016 summer.

Female toplessness was officially legalized at the public pools of the municipalities of Galdakao and L'Ametlla del Vallès in March 2016 and June 2018, respectively.

Nude hiking is mainly popular in the sparsely populated alpine regions among nudists, less so in the low lands.

United Kingdom

Public nudity is legal in England and Wales unless the intent is to cause ‘Harassment, Alarm or Distress’. However, many of the public are unaware of this and nudity elsewhere than an accepted venue may provoke a negative reaction. In 2019 the Crown Prosecution Service published a clarification to help police officers assess whether the law was really being broken in cases of public nudity. In response the College of Policing created a decision aid for its officers.

Though nudity is legal everywhere the following is a list of sites where nudity is not queried by the general public.
