Girlfriend for the day
 

I had never heard of this before. Is it correct or is it just one of my fantasies?

Not sure what you have never heard of. Wreck Beach itself or the Girlfriend Service
 

Barcelona
 

I know there are a number of posts about Spain throughout this thread but I’m hoping someone can help me set expectations. My wife and I are visiting in June, spending time in Barcelona, Valencia and Murcia aiming to visit some beaches.

Reviews tell me mar Bella (the nude beach) in Barcelona is usually crammed and mostly male so wondering if it’s worth exploring or not.

Has anyone tried any of the nude beaches around Valencia or specifically El Portús in Murcia?

Obviously I’m looking for the best places to both show my wife off and to see attractive women.

Also, one thing I always enjoy is seeing people arrive to beaches in their street clothes and somewhat discretely change into their swimsuits on the beach. Is that as common in Spain as it is elsewhere?

Any help, advice or stories would be greatly appreciated

Waties Island above Cherry Grove Beach at the SC/NC boarder - little hard to reach by vehicle (as it should be) but easy by boat or jet ski. Locals have used it for years for topless sunbathing and more. I've been there a few times and used it with several women for full nude and sex on the beach, never been bothered as there's never many people there. :D

Boadella beach, about 45mins to an hour from barcelona, great beach, beautiful scenery, amazing restaurant and bar right there. Highly recommend it

Miami Beach, Barcelona, and The Hague
 

All 3 of these cities have safe, sanctioned clothing-optional beaches, easily accessible by public transportation and services like umbrella rental and food/drink concessions. All 3 are safe for unaccompanied women, since there are lifeguards there--this always discourages gawkers and beach romeos.

Playa Nudista
 

Last summer my wife and I were in Barcelona and decided to go to Mar Bella since it's so close to the city. I went first since she was finishing her meal at the beach restaurant. I was dismayed by the number of guys there. I finally found two het couples and put my towel down near them and took a nap. When I awoke the het couples had left and I was surrounded by dudes! Fortunately my wife showed up, but she was ticked off because she had seen a guy giving another guy a blow job on her way to the beach. So I guess I'd say it's not the best beach for a straight guy.

About an hour south of Barcelona is a nude beach with camping right on the Med. just north of the city of Tarragona. You can even see naked people from the train. We didn't go there, unfortunately, but did find a very nice beach in Tarragona, which is a wonderful city, by the way. We especially liked that the beach had signs with the word "textile" (or the Spanish equivalent) and the standard red diagonal through it. I forget the name of the beach but you can search it easily. We also went to nude beaches on the island of Fomentera, but that's probably too far out of your way. My understanding is that you can go nude on any beach in Spain as long as you go off to the side and away from kids, etc. But it's always more fun to be sitting near other nudists.

While this sounds great, it also sounds like something that will get the beach closed in a hurry. While many people will tolerate nudity on a beach, few will tolerate open sex acts and prostitution. I've never heard this about Wreck Beach.

Crete
 

We were in Crete also. Red Beach in the town of Matala on the south coast is outstanding. It's a bit of a hike (half hour) from town, but there is a taverna right on the beach. Great crowd, wonderful sand, views and water.

Pedro's Beach
 

The best beach I have been to in the world by far is Pedro's beach. Actually 2 beaches one nude and the other 1/2 nude. Restaurants, chairs umbrellas. A bit hard to get too but that just makes it better as not everyman and his dog is there. The 1/2 beach is just like a normal beach except 1/2 are naked and no one cares at all. Crowd is mixed age, but with a fair few younger set. Many travellers and lots of locals. A cool beach and many go nude for the first time. Also good swimming and snorkelling.

It appears to be a normal beach until you see a twenty something hottie walking around starkers and pretending that she is not being noticed.
