About this place
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.

Who visits
Mostly Croatian regulars from Split and nearby towns, with a handful of German, Austrian, and Italian naturists who know the city's FKK options. Tends toward couples and solo adults; families are less common than at purpose-built resorts. Weekday mornings are quietest. Visitor profile not extensively documented—this is a low-key urban naturist spot rather than a tourism draw.
How to find it
From Split's Riva waterfront, head west along the shore toward Marjan. Meštrovićevo Šetalište runs along the peninsula's south side; the beach lies roughly 1.5 km west of the Meštrović Gallery. Look for a small FKK sign or a break in the path where rocky ledges descend to the water. Street parking is tight in summer; consider walking or cycling from the city centre.
Things to watch out for
Rocky bottom and concrete platforms—reef shoes highly recommended. No shade, no facilities, no fresh water. Bring sun protection, drinking water, and snacks. The promenade above is used by textiles; the naturist zone is down at water level, but don't expect total seclusion. Wind can pick up in the afternoon, making the water choppy.

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 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.
