About this place

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.

Who visits

Visitor demographics aren't well documented. Expect the usual Adriatic naturist mix — German, Austrian, and Italian regulars passing through, plus Croatian locals on weekends. The free-beach format and lack of services mean it skews toward self-sufficient couples and solo travelers rather than families with young children.

How to find it

Drvenik sits on the D8 coastal Magistrala, roughly 50 km south of Split and 30 km north of Makarska. The beach lies outside the village center; look for informal parking along the shoreline road and a short scramble down rocky paths. No marked FKK signage — locals and repeat visitors simply know the spot.

Things to watch out for

Rocky entry — reef shoes highly recommended. No facilities: no fresh water, no shade structures, no bins. Pack everything in and out. Seasonal bura wind can kick up in spring and autumn, making the water choppy and the rocks slippery.

Etiquette & ground rules

Croatian FKK beaches and naturist sections are clearly signposted — stay within the marked area. Phone cameras are off-limits without explicit consent. The mix between nude and textile bathers shifts by site; respect the local norm you encounter. Pack out all trash; many Adriatic FKK beaches have minimal facilities.

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 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

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.
