Asia Nude Beach Guide
Asia is covered with Beaches. But there are very few beaches which are topless(nude) Due to the conservative nature of the Asian.
There are only Six country where you can found few Nude Beaches. In most of them, you're on wobbly legal ground while you're in the buff. But in a handful of spots the risks are relatively low and the practice of nudity (at least by Western tourists) is long established.
Thailand :- Koh Pha Ngan is the only beach in Thailand where traveler are allow to sunbath and swin in topless condition. Otherwise its illegal in Thailand to strip completely at public place and beaches
Leela Beach on Koh Phangan is evidently too small to make the maps. It's isolated enough that the locals either don't know or don't care. And nudity is at least tolerated. The beach includes a series of bungalows and the owners describe the area as isolated enough to "insure privacy." Don't forget your sun block.
Persistent rumors about nude beaches in the Philippines continue to surface. Unfortunately there are few details available. There seems to be at least one location, though, where the rumors are more substantial: Palawan. Boayan Island, in the province of Palawan, includes a privately owned property that can be rented for just one couple. And their honeymoon package includes a statement (w/ photo) about being able to take "a naked morning swim." The cost of a stay at the private lagoon (with a staff of six) is less than staying in a five-star resort.
Cebu also evidently has at least one nude beach. It's a "so called" nude beach for a reason.
Like the Philippines, Bali is also the persistent subject of rumors to the effect that nude beaches exist there. Perhaps they do. But there is little available online to substantiate that.
A number of beaches on India's Arabian Coast seem to tolerate discrete nudity. A couple of the beaches in Goa have a history of nude sunbathing that dates back to the days of the hippie trail. Ozra Beach and Vagator Beach in Goa seem to see nudity more than other beaches there now these days.
Om Beach, near the town of Gokarna in Karnataka State, seems to have recently become the hang out of nudists who don't want to live in the touristy environment of Goa.
And the recently constructed Marari Beach Resort in Mararikulam, Kerela State, has 52 cottages on the beach. As one web site put it, "The seclusion makes it ideal for those who like to sunbathe in the nude."
Officially, there are no nude beaches in India.
Russia has a number of nude beaches. Most, however, are in European locations. The Black Sea Coast, between the Crimea (which belongs to the Ukraine) and the border of Georgia may have a couple of nude beaches, especially around the Russian city of Sochi. There are also rumors of a nude beach near Ashtrakhan on the Volga River during July and August. And while both rumors seem likely to be true, they are difficult to substantiate.
Finally, Israel in Asia's Mediterranean corner has a few clothing optional beaches. Tel-Baruch Beach north of Tel Aviv seems to have a dedicated nude section. There is a the "free beach" in Ein Gedi, on the Dead Sea, where according to one source "nude and clothed people lived together in peace." And Eilat on Israel's Red Sea port in the Gulf off Aqaba is reported to tolerate some nudity, but those reports have been difficult to confirm.
An closing note: Both Taiwan and Japan have groups affiliated with The International Naturist Federation, but neither country seems to have even an isolated nude beach. |
