Mar Bella, Barcelona
 

Has anyone here any experience of Mar Bella beach in Barcelona? Going to Barcelona with my wife in summer. We have gotten naked on our last few holidays and this beach seems like our next option.

The Mar bella beach has upsides and downsides. For the latter, it is a clothing optional beach and mostly gay. During weekends the percentage of clothed people is actually higher. Still i ve witneesed some of the best sights ever on a nude beach. Last year a group on 10 very hot girls and guys all stripped naked and would even walk past the clothed bar to take naked showers for the delight of people dri king or just passing by. So definitely worth a visit in the summer you might get lucky (no guarantee). If you look at my posts i actually snapped a picture of a young girl there.

I am curious, too. I had a friend who was there in the late 80s and said there were 1000s of naked people, including people with those absolutely enormous video cameras taking videos. :D

I had a former in-law go in the late 90s, and she said it was pretty crowded, but not like she remembered from previous visits.

I have a friend who went JUST before covid and said it was a complete ghost town, not a single nude or topless person, so she herself decided not to go topless or nude. :( She had promised me photos, so I was definitely more bummed than her!

I was there a few weeks ago. I stayed nearby for a whole week. I can confirm that there are a lot of people there, mostly older entirely naked. You have to walk to the FAR end of the beach. There's where the nude part starts.

By the way, they are very militant now with taking photos. They self patrol themselves and anytime someone takes out a cellphone, someone bear them will yell and say "no phones, no photos."

As for the rest of the beach (non-nude part), there were a handful of topless women. Certainly not as many as I would have liked.

Either way, have a great trip. You are in for a great time!

For anybody interested it s cala del senyor ramon in costa brava..where lots of the be ach so me videos are taken. Looks likke it attracts a young crowd

Shaving trends
 

Going to some public nude beaches in Portugal for the first time in a while, does anyone have any up to date reports on pubic hair trends on men and women so that we are prepared?
Me and the wife are totally bare, although I have trimmed body hair everywhere else.

There are no requirements, why would be? Be like as you feel best. No pubic dresscode. :D
But in general, I would say more hair can be seen compare to Germany for example.

Either way will be fine - you'll probably see a nice mix :)

Beach report
 

Report from Portugal. Summer holidays so very busy. I suspect many of the beaches where you would normally see nudists were busy enough to put people off stripping.
Not sure about others but we're not brave enough to be first in crowded situations and perhaps others think the same. So maybe August is a time to avoid.
Did see a lot more topless than expected and many many many tiny thongs, on women of all shapes and sizes.
Only found serious nudity on one beach so we went twice. As usual, at nudist end there was mix of nude 50%, topless 25% and clothed 25%.
All age ranges present.
Regarding my question about shaving trends, first day was mixed. We were right next to an attractive young couple, both fully shaved. They had a dog so we got to see a lot of running around! Later on a group of about 6 girlfriends were nearby, interestingly a couple of them stayed in bikinis, the rest topless, but one got brave and was fully nude... she had a landing strip. Saw a trimmed 40-something lady walking past and a fairly hairy older couple. Difficult to see on others as you typically don't get as close as a spa, but certainly didn't see any obvious hair or big bushes.
Next visit, didn't see any pubes, at least on ladies. Two older ladies in couples nearby were bare. All four in our group (2m 2f) were too. Generally younger men were probably 50/50 shaved/trimmed.
Other highlights, when taking a walk, there was a lady sat cross legged eating a sandwich, leaving nothing to the imagination. Don't think I've ever seen a more blatant invitation to stare at a bald pussy. There was also a smooth 30-something with her boyfriend, but he stayed in trunks all day. That was the only time we saw CMNF, would love to know what she was thinking.
Did notice a few CFNM who relaxed into NFNM as the day went on - love how the inhibition washes away. My wife was a classic example on first day; by the afternoon she was parading round in front of a clothed couple, bending over to pick up suncream, then applying it everywhere. Next day, same in front of her sister's husband. It's great how a nude beach can transform someone.
Overall what a great liberating experience where we all get to admire the human body and safely satisfy our desires.
Only meant to do a quick report but got quite a bit down, happy to add more details if needed.

Lake nude beach, Czech Republic: Nude beach was really busy. Towel next to the towel. Some say bushes are back in fashion. I did not look like that. I did not see almost any. 70% smooth shaved, 30% with landing strips. Even older leadies 60+. All ages there, couples, families, 2 topless CFNMs.
