Elia Beach (Mykonos, Greece)
Elia is the largest beach in Mykonos and the gay section is on the right side when you face the sea, easily distinguishable by the big rainbow flag. There are lots of sunbeds and thatched umbrellas available for rent but those who prefer to be in the nude typically congregate to the side and lay out on the sand. Elia Beach is a 25-minute car ride from Mykonos Town and can be reached by bus via the Old Port Terminal.
Playa Balmins (Sitges, Spain)
Located between Port d’Aiguadolc and the old town, Playa Balmins is a quick 15-minute walk due east from Iglesia de Sant Bartomeu. It consists of three small coves separated by rocks and gives visitors the absolute best view of the rolling hills of Sitges, among other things…
Brighton Beach (East Sussex, United Kingdom)
Brighton Beach is the most famous seaside resort town in the United Kingdom featuring the 200-year-old Brighton Palace Pier with its restaurants and amusements. Brighton itself has a thriving LGBTQ+ scene and so its only natural that the nudist beach is a hot spot for the gay community come summertime. It is located 1 mile east of the pier near the Marina.
Praia 19 (Lisbon, Portugal)
Located on the Caparica Coast of Portugal, this beach has been attracting the gays since the 1980’s and officially became a nude beach in 1995.

Playa La Mancha (Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Costa Rica)
Playa Playitas and Playa Espadilla are two of the gay beaches in Manuel Antonio but if you want to show your stuff in the buff, then Playa La Mancha is the place for you. It’s a bit remote and requires you to take a somewhat challenging 20-minute hike from town, but the rewards are well worth it.
