Playa Luna, Naturist beach in Ventanas, Chile
Playa Luna is a clothing-optional beach on the coast of the Valparaíso Region in Chile, set inside a sheltered cove. The sandy shoreline runs for roughly a kilometer and is officially designated for naturist use.
The beach took its current name in 2000 after naturists moved here from another coastal spot that had been affected by development. Since then it has held its status as the only officially recognized clothing-optional beach in Chile.
Playa Luna draws visitors who want to swim and sunbathe without clothing in an open, relaxed setting. The beach is used by a small but active naturist community that gathers here regularly throughout the warmer months.
The beach is easiest to reach by car along the coastal roads south of Viña del Mar or north of Papudo, as the location is fairly remote. There are few facilities nearby, so it is worth coming prepared with water and supplies.
The beach was founded by naturism activist René Rojas, who organized the move and built the community around the new location. To this day the spot is largely self-managed by the naturist community that uses it.
