Now, without shame, let’s get to know the naturist beaches where you can walk around with everything out in the open, as God put you in the world, without prejudice, because nudity is perfectly natural.

Meco Beach, in Sesimbra
Meco is one of the best-known nudist beaches in the country, and that’s what it’s called, but its real name is Praia do Moinho de Baixo, and it’s considered one of the most famous – if not the most famous – of the beaches where you can walk around without prejudice.
Praia dos Alteirinhos, near Zambujeira do Mar
This is one of the nudist beaches on the south side of Zambujeira do Mar, and it’s one of the best spots on the Alentejo coast when it’s windy.
Even so, we guarantee that the sea breezes won’t be enough to keep you cold now that you’re in the buff.
Bela Vista Beach, in Almada
On the Costa da Caparica, this is, as you’d expect, the last beach, with a naturist area that starts almost half a kilometer from the entrance.
It’s also known as Dezanove and is known to have been one of the first official naturist beaches in Portugal.
Malhão Beach, in Vila Nova de Milfontes
Milfontes is a destination for many Portuguese families this summer. And nearby is Praia do Malhão, which since 2016 has had more modern access and parking.
From the size of the sand that we can see, you’ll have plenty of space to – for want of a better word – run around in total freedom.
Praia da NATO, in Almada
Also known by its official name Praia da Adiça, this 1.4 km stretch of sand is paradise for those who want to practice nudism for the first time.
Let’s face it, it ‘s not very easy to get here, but as soon as you see the NATO military base, park the car and follow the signs. In just over 10 minutes you’ll be in the official naturist area of this beach.
Salto Beach, near Porto Covo
It’s very close to the town of Porto Covo and is one of the favorite beaches for naturists, largely because of the privacy it offers between the cliffs.
It is also one of the most beautiful nudist beaches and well worth a visit between the tides.
Praia do Homem Nu, near Praia do Barril
To see how you came into the world, there‘s nothing better than the beach that gives its name to what really goes on there.
But don’t be fooled if you think that only men walk on this sand, women also “leave” their beauty here.
Of the nudist beaches on this list, it’s the one with the worst or most difficult access and is located on the westernmost tip of Tavira Island, between Praia do Barril and the Fuzeta bar.
Praia das Adegas, in Odeceixe
On the border between the Algarve and the Alentejo lies one of Portugal’s most beautiful beaches, Praia de Odeceixe.
And nearby is one of the most frequented by naturists in this part of the country, Praia das Adegas, which is characterized by being a small cove by the river.
Barreta Beach, in Faro
Also known as Ilha Deserta, it may well be the quietest place in the country, with only one inhabitant, the Estaminé restaurant.
It’s also one of the longest beaches on this list, with over 10 kilometers of white sand and crystal-clear waters, making it perfect for spreading out as you please.
