Beach signs for naturists/nudists in Scandinavia

Swedes are open-minded and many like to swim or sunbathe in the nude. Nudism in Sweden is nothing unusual and Swedes make it clear that the purpose of nudism/naturism is stricly non-erotic and non-sexual. One prejudice is that Sweden is all about sex and nudism (which is incorrect.) This closed-minded prejudice stems from early teachings about sex in Swedish schools.

Nudism in Sweden can be practised everywhere, but these great nude beaches are especially popular amongst nudists:

  • Stockholm: Ågesta Nude Beach
  • Södertälje: Tullan Nude Beach
  • Stockholm / Saltsjöbaden: Svärdsön Nude Beach
  • Vaxholm: Säbyträsk Nude Beach
  • Lidköping: Truvebadet Nude Beach
  • Uddevalla: Mollön peninsula
  • Gothenburg: Smitska Udden Nude Beach
  • Mönsterås: Ramsöbadet Nude Beach
  • Öregrund: Tallparksbadet Nude Beach
  • Arboga: Herrfallet Nude Beach
