Nudist Beaches in Tenerife

Apart from topless sunbathing an increasing number of people wish to get an all over suntan and many are indeed naturists.

The Spanish have a very relaxed attitude towards nudism which is quite understanding because at this time nudism is a legal practice at any public place and is one of your rights when in Spain, this is why there are many nudist beaches in Tenerife.

According to the current legislation, nudism cannot be limited, nor sanctioned and even less so forbidden, but to keep you in the picture information about the current legislation a translation can be found here.

Additional information about naturism can be found at The International Naturist Federation, which represents millions of naturists around the world.

So which nudist beaches in Tenerife should you visit to get that all over tan?  In theory any of them but most naturist would prefer a little more privacy so below is a list of the popular Naturist beaches.

It must be pointed out however that this list comprises of beaches most frequented by naturists but that is not to say that naturists will always be in the majority.
