Nugal Beach, Nude beach in Makarska, Croatia.
Description
Nugal Beach is a clothing-optional beach near Makarska on the Croatian coast, stretching 80 meters along the shore and extending 50 meters inland. The coast consists of pebbles and is bordered by tall limestone cliffs that meet the water's edge.
History
The beach formed over millennia through the erosive action of the Adriatic Sea on limestone rocks, creating the pebbled shore we see today. This natural process carved out the cove and shaped the cliffs that now surround it.
Culture
The beach operates as a naturist space, reflecting a broader European approach to body freedom that visitors can experience directly. This openness shapes how people use the location and creates a relaxed social environment.
Practical
Getting there takes about 30 minutes of walking from Makarska along a marked coastal path, and the beach has no facilities like changing rooms or showers. Visitors should bring everything they might need and expect a basic, undeveloped setting.
Did you know?
The surrounding rocks form a natural amphitheater-like formation that creates interesting acoustic properties in certain spots. During certain seasons, small water springs emerge from the rock face, mixing fresh water with the seawater below.
