Beach signs for naturists/nudists in Scandinavia

Nudists love Denmark for its many "free beaches" and CO beaches (clothes optional). Nudism in Denmark is perfectly acceptable - should it be prohibited as an exception, a sign will tell (e.g. at Holmsland Klit and Hennestrand).

Denmark also offers several clothes-free beaches which are officially dedicated to nudists. They are located south of Marielyst at Bøtø Strand on the island Falster, Albuen on the island Lolland, Houstrup Strand north of Hennestrand and Sønderstrand on the Island Rømø.

Other popular naturist bathing areas are: the nude beaches around Skagen, Tannisbugten (Tannis Bay), Hirtshals, or north of Løkken, between Nr. Lyngby and Rubjerg Knude. All of the western coasts can be regarded as one large free beach by nudists in Denmark (as long as you disregard Holmsland Klit and Hennestrand.)

North of Aarhus Harbour, naked people are swimming and sunbathing in the nude a lot, the same goes for the Danish island Anholt, Thurø Rev at Svendborg on the island Fyn, Troldeskovens Strand between Tisvilde and Liseleje on the island Sjælland, as well as the south coast of the island Bornholm.

Note that if it is not a dedicated Danish nudist beach, anyone without clothing has an obligation to show consideration for the sensibilities of other users by keeping a reasonable distance from them.
