Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Caklje Plaza FKK
Čaklje Plaza FKK is a free-access clothing-optional beach on the Makarska Riviera, the dramatic mid-Dalmatian stretch where the steep Biokovo massif drops straight into the Adriatic. It sits just north of Podgora, a small resort town roughly halfway between Makarska and Ploče. Unlike the purpose-built FKK resorts of Istria and Kvarner, this is a low-key naturist cove typical of Dalmatia's more improvised naturist culture: no infrastructure, no campsite, no gate or reception — just a quiet pebble beach where locals and the occasional passing tourist strip off without fuss. The water is the transparent turquoise you expect along this coast, and the seabed is rocky and uneven, so reef shoes are a good idea. The setting is lovely in the way Dalmatian coves are: backed by scrub and pine, with views across to the islands of Brač and Hvar on clear days. You won't find sun loungers or a beach bar here — bring everything you need. It's a proper free beach, best for people who value peace and simplicity over facilities. Crowds are light outside high summer weekends, and the vibe is live-and-let-live.

FKK Nudist Beach Hvar
FKK Nudist Beach sits on the northern shore of Hvar island, about 3 km east of Stari Grad town in Split-Dalmatia county. This is a free, informal clothing-optional cove on the Dalmatian coast — not a purpose-built naselje like Valalta or Koversada up in Istria, but a quiet stretch of rocky shoreline where naturism has been quietly tolerated for years. Hvar's northern coast is quieter than the glitzy southern riviera around Hvar town; you're facing the Brač channel, with views across to the mainland mountains. The beach itself is typical Dalmatian: white pebble and rock ledges, pine shade at the back, transparent turquoise water over a stony bottom. No facilities — no showers, no café, no sunbed hire. You bring your own provisions, find a flat spot, and settle in. The vibe is low-key and local-tolerant rather than resort-organized; expect a handful of regulars on a weekday, more Croatian and Italian visitors on summer weekends. Hvar island has been part of Croatia's naturist map since the 1960s, when FKK tourism spread south from Istria, and this cove continues that tradition without the commercial overlay. If you're staying in Stari Grad or exploring Hvar by car, it's an easy, unpretentious stop.

FKK Rocks Lokrum
FKK Rocks Lokrum sits on Lokrum island, a ten-minute ferry ride from Dubrovnik's Old Harbour. This is naturist swimming on wild, sea-smoothed rock platforms—no organized resort, no campsite infrastructure, just a clothing-optional cove on the south-facing shore of a protected nature reserve. Lokrum itself is car-free; the entire island is forested parkland with peacocks, botanical gardens, and a ruined Benedictine monastery. The FKK zone occupies a small, rocky stretch reached by following park paths toward the southern coastline; you'll know you're there when you see naked bodies on the sun-warmed slabs. Water is deep and spectacularly clear, with the Adriatic's signature cobalt blue and visibility down to 10 meters. Entry is straight off the rocks—ladder rungs are bolted into the stone at the main swimming spot. Expect a mix of Dubrovnik locals, German and Austrian yacht sailors stopping over, and the occasional tourist who's read about it online. The vibe is quiet, almost meditative: no beach bars, no sunbed rows, just rock, sea, and the hum of cicadas. Lokrum's naturist tradition dates back decades, tolerated within the island's protected status, and the spot remains refreshingly uncommercial. Bring everything—water, snacks, shade—because the island's café is textile and a fifteen-minute walk back through the woods.

FKK szabadstrand
FKK szabadstrand is a clothing-optional free beach in Drašnice, a small fishing village on the central Dalmatian coast about 20 km south of Makarska. The name—Hungarian for "FKK free beach"—reflects the historic Mitteleuropean naturist tourism that drove Croatia's Adriatic development. This is not a purpose-built naselje like Koversada or Valalta; it's a quiet stretch of rocky shore marked informally as clothing-optional, used mostly by visitors staying in nearby private-apartment rentals or the handful of small pansions in the village. Drašnice sits on a narrow coastal strip beneath the Biokovo massif, so the beach is pebble and slab rock with deep, clear water a few metres out—typical Makarska Riviera topography. The setting is low-key and ungroomed: no sunbeds, no cafe, no lifeguard. You'll share the shore with a handful of other naturists on a good day, more textile bathers on a busy weekend. Reef shoes are essential. The village itself is sleepy and traditional; English signage is sparse, and the atmosphere skews older-generation Croatian summer-house owners and Central European self-caterers rather than package-tour crowds. If you're driving the Magistrala between Split and Dubrovnik and want an hour's swim without resort infrastructure, this works—but don't expect amenities or a crowd.

NUDIST
NUDIST is a clothing-optional beach near Vrboska, a small harbor town on the northern coast of Hvar island in central Dalmatia. The address points to Vrboska itself, not a marked resort, so you're likely looking at a free beach or a locally known cove accessible from the town. Hvar sits roughly 60 km offshore from Split and is connected by passenger catamaran and car ferry; Vrboska is one of the quieter settlements on the island, tucked into a narrow inlet between Stari Grad and Jelsa. Croatia's island beaches tend to be rockier than the mainland, and Hvar's north coast is no exception—expect slabs, pebbles, and pine-shaded shoreline. The FKK tradition here is informal rather than resort-based; you won't find the gated infrastructure of Valalta or Koversada, but naturist use is socially accepted and the water is clean. The setting is small-scale and low-key, suited to visitors who prefer a local beach over a commercial site. Given Vrboska's size, facilities will be minimal—bring what you need. The island draws a steady summer crowd, but the northern shore sees less traffic than the southern beaches, so weekday visits outside August will be quieter.

Nudist Beach FKK
Nudist Beach FKK sits on Split's Marjan peninsula, just west of the city centre along Meštrovićevo Šetalište—the promenade that curves around Marjan's wooded southern flank. Split is the largest city on the Dalmatian coast, and this beach is one of the few formal naturist stretches within an easy walk of an urban core. Unlike the purpose-built FKK settlements further north (Valalta, Koversada), this is a free beach: no gate, no fee, no built infrastructure. The strand is narrow, rocky, and backed by low pine and scrub; you'll find rocky ledges and concrete platforms rather than pebble or sand. Water is clear and deep, typical of Dalmatian rocky shores. The setting is quieter than Split's main beaches—Marjan's green slope shields you from traffic noise—but you're still inside the city limits, so expect dog-walkers, joggers, and the occasional textile passer-by on the path above. The beach draws a mixed naturist crowd during summer months, skewing local Croatian on weekends, with some German and Italian visitors who've done their research. It's not a resort experience; bring what you need and pack it out.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Paklina FKK
Paklina FKK is a clothing-optional beach on the southern coast of Brač, Croatia's largest Dalmatian island, sitting just east of the famous Zlatni Rat promontory in Bol. The address places it along the pine-shaded stretch between Zlatni Rat and the smaller coves that fringe the island's limestone backbone. Brač has long been part of Croatia's Adriatic naturist landscape — quieter than the purpose-built resorts of Istria, but well within reach of the German, Austrian, and Italian visitors who ferry over from Split or sail down the coast. Paklina is a free beach rather than a managed resort, so you won't find rental loungers, beach bars, or organized activities. What you will find is pebble and rock underfoot, pine shade behind, and the clean, deep Adriatic in front. The water here is典型 Dalmatian — transparent, cool even in summer, and rocky-bottomed. Reef shoes are a good idea. The beach draws a mix of FKK regulars who know the Bol coast and day-trippers willing to walk a bit beyond the textile crowds at Zlatni Rat. It's a practical choice if you're staying in Bol or touring Brač and want a naturist option without the formality of a campsite gate.

Plaža FKK
Plaža FKK sits along the Dalmatian coast just north of Makarska, one of the larger resort towns on the central Dalmatian Riviera. The beach lies directly on the D8 Magistrala — the scenic coastal highway that threads past dozens of pebble bays between Split and Dubrovnik. This is a free naturist beach, not a staffed resort or naselje, so don't expect gates, sunbed concessions, or on-site amenities. What you get instead is a quiet pebble cove with Adriatic views and the relaxed social code typical of Croatian FKK spots. The Makarska Riviera is better known for its textile resort strips, but several unmarked naturist stretches have become known through word of mouth, and this appears to be one of them. Access is straightforward — a short scramble down from roadside parking on the Magistrala — though the exact trailhead may not be signed. The setting is classic mid-Dalmatian: limestone mountain backdrop (the Biokovo massif rises steeply behind Makarska), clear sea, and a stony shore that invites reef shoes. Visitor flow is likely light outside July and August, when Croatian weekenders and road-tripping Central Europeans stop for a swim. Because it's on the mainland coast rather than a purpose-built resort, this is more of a rest-stop naturist beach than a destination — but that simplicity is precisely the appeal for those driving the Magistrala and looking to stretch, swim, and skip the textile crowds farther south.

Plaża fkk - naturist
Plaža FKK – Naturist sits on the northern shore of Brač island, a short walk from the small harbor town of Postira in Split-Dalmatia County. Brač lies in the middle Dalmatian archipelago, thirty minutes by ferry from Split; most visitors pass through on the way to Zlatni Rat or the ferry port at Supetar, but Postira remains a quieter alternative. This is a free beach — no gatehouse, no fee — and one of only a handful of designated clothing-optional stretches on Brač. The Dalmatian islands haven't seen the same density of purpose-built FKK resorts as Istria or Kvarner (Valalta, Koversada, Bunculuka), so a marked naturist beach on Brač fills a real gap for sailors and island-hopping regulars who want a place to swim without suits between the busier ports. Expect a simple rocky or pebble cove, typical of the middle Dalmatian coast, with clear water and scattered pine shade inland. Amenities are minimal — no café or changing cabin listed — so pack water, snacks, and a parasol if you need shade beyond the tree line. The setting is low-key and local in character; you won't find German tour-operator signage or rows of sun loungers, just an informal strip where naturism is accepted and understood.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Beach FKK
Beach FKK is a clothing-optional cove on the Dalmatian coast near Drvenik, a small settlement midway between Trogir and Makarska. This is classic Central Dalmatia — limestone karst, pine-dotted headlands, and a scattering of islands just offshore (Drvenik Veli and Drvenik Mali lie a short ferry ride away). The beach itself occupies a rocky pocket outside the main village; no resort infrastructure, no pavilions — just a locally known free beach where naturism is understood and accepted. Croatia's Dalmatian coast has far fewer purpose-built FKK resorts than Istria or Kvarner (think Valalta, Koversada, Bunculuka up north), so spots like this fill the gap for visitors cruising the D8 Magistrala who want a textile-free swim without checking into a naselje. The setting is quintessentially Dalmatian: white rock slabs, clear water, modest shade from Aleppo pines if you arrive early. Visitor load is light — Drvenik itself is a quiet place, not a package-holiday hub. You'll share the space with German and Austrian campervan tourers, the occasional Italian sailboat crew, and Croatian day-trippers from Split or Omiš on weekends. The vibe is low-key and self-reliant; pack what you need.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
FKK Nudist Beach Makarska
FKK Nudist beach sits on the Dalmatian coast just south of Makarska, a palm-lined town midway between Split and Dubrovnik. This is a free beach—not a resort or campsite compound—located along a rocky shoreline typical of this stretch of the Adriatic. Makarska itself is a popular textile resort, but a handful of naturist-friendly coves lie within walking distance for those who know where to look. Croatia's FKK tradition is strongest in Istria and Kvarner, but Dalmatia has always had its share of quiet spots claimed by regulars and marked by word-of-mouth rather than resort infrastructure. Expect a simple, no-frills experience: rock or pebble underfoot, clear water, and whatever shade you bring yourself. There are no facilities listed here—no café, no shower block, no sunbed rental—so pack everything you'll need for the day. The setting is scenic in the way mid-Dalmatia reliably is: the Biokovo massif rises steeply inland, pine and scrub come down close to the shore, and the water is that luminous Adriatic blue-green. It's the sort of place that draws people who prefer solitude and simplicity over organized amenities, and who don't mind a bit of scrambling over rocks to claim a spot.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
FKK Strand
FKK Strand is a free naturist beach on the Dalmatian coast near Drvenik, a small coastal settlement between Split and Makarska. Drvenik sits on the mainland facing the islands of Drvenik Veli and Drvenik Mali — a quieter stretch of the Adriatic where the imposing Biokovo mountain range meets the sea. This is a low-key, unserviced cove rather than a purpose-built resort; the tag "FKK Strand" (German for "FKK beach") suggests it's known to the Central European touring crowd but likely remains unmarked on most local signage. You'll find rocky shoreline typical of this part of Dalmatia — bring reef shoes — and clear, deep water a few steps from shore. The beach sits away from the main D8 Magistrala road and the Drvenik ferry port, so it sees little through-traffic. Expect a handful of German, Austrian, or Italian camper-van travelers in high season, plus the occasional Croatian day-visitor who knows the spot. No facilities, no shade structures, no lifeguard. Pack everything in, pack everything out. The appeal here is simplicity: a patch of coast where naturism is tolerated, the water is clean, and you're unlikely to share it with more than a few others at a time.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
West Secluded FKK
West Secluded FKK is a clothing-optional beach on Croatia's Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia. Croatian naturism is among the most established in Europe — the Yugoslav government formally recognized naturist tourism in the 1950s, and the Istrian and Kvarner coasts have hosted purpose-built FKK destinations ever since. Expect a relaxed, family-tolerant atmosphere; the local visitor mix skews German, Austrian, and Italian, with Croatian regulars on weekends. Access is typically via a short walk from a marked car park or campsite gate. Water is clear and rocky-bottomed; reef shoes are useful at many sites. Pack out trash, stay aware of where the FKK section ends if signage shifts.
Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Kamp Nudist
Kamp Nudist is a naturist campsite situated on the Dalmatian coast near Vrboska, a village on the northern shore of Hvar island in Split-Dalmatia County. Hvar's FKK tradition is less institutionalized than Istria's big-name camps (Valalta, Koversada) but the island has long offered smaller, quieter naturist sites alongside its famous beaches and medieval towns. Kamp Nudist sits at Put Solina bb — the address places it on the outskirts of Vrboska, likely within walking or short driving distance of the village waterfront. Vrboska itself is a small, sleepy inlet town known for its stone bridges and pine-shaded coves; the island's busier hubs (Hvar town, Stari Grad) are 15–20 km away. Without published facility details, it's safest to assume a basic campsite: pitches for tents or campervans, access to sea, and essentials like water and toilets. Hvar's coast is typically rock slab and pebble, so expect to hop into the Adriatic off concrete or rounded stone rather than sand. The site's name and presence in naturist directories suggest it's been operating for years, but public information is sparse. If you're planning a visit, phone or email ahead to confirm what's on-site, whether mobile homes or small bungalows are available, and whether a restaurant or mini-market operates in season. Hvar's naturist culture tends to be low-key and uncrowded — this isn't a resort village but a place to pitch, swim, and unwind.
