Croatia's Adriatic coast has a long tradition
of providing hospitality to naturists seeking a friendly place
to vacation textile-free. The first naturist beaches opened
on the island of Rab in 1934 and over the ensuing decades were
joined by numerous others. Naturism continues to flourish today,
playing an important part of Croatia's tourism industry. With
30 official naturist resorts and beaches, plus numerous unofficial
ones found all along the long Adriatic coast, Croatia welcomes
visitors who prefer to vacation nude.
Croatia is one of Europe's sunniest countries, with 2600
hours of sunshine annually. It's no surprise then that Croatia
was Europe's first country to offer commercial naturist resorts
to visitors. By the 1960s, naturist camps opened in Istra
and Dalmatia. Today's naturists can still find campsites,
but also hotels, resorts, beaches, and apartments.
