About this place
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.

Who visits
Mix of Dubrovnik locals (weekends), German and Austrian sailors on Adriatic cruises, and international naturists visiting the city. Skews 40+, couples and solo visitors; families rare. Low-key, self-sufficient crowd—people who prioritize scenery and solitude over resort amenities. Not a party beach; expect quiet sun-bathing and occasional snorkeling.
How to find it
From Dubrovnik's Old Harbour, take the Lokrum ferry (runs every 30 minutes April–October, ~10 minutes, paid entry includes island admission). Walk south through the botanical garden and follow coastal paths toward the island's southern tip. Look for painted FKK signs or follow other naturists—the rocks are visible from the path. No car access; island is pedestrian-only.
Things to watch out for
Ferries run April to October only; island closes in winter. Rocky entry—reef shoes strongly recommended. No fresh water, no shade, no facilities at the FKK zone itself; bring sun protection, drinking water, and snacks. Return ferry timing matters—last departure is typically early evening, and you don't want to miss it. Bura wind can make rock surfaces slippery and water choppy in spring and fall.

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 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 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.
