The large Italian island of Sardinia is an eco-friendly paradise. Many travelers visit the island to enjoy its stunning natural beauty, which includes an extensive coastline, mountainous terrain, and beautiful white sand beaches. With crystal-clear waters and seemingly untouched nature, Sardinia is the perfect European getaway for an outdoor wedding. One of the island’s beaches, Benas Beach on the western coast, offers a unique experience for nature-loving couples. It has become a popular destination for nature-centered nude weddings.

Tourism and Nudity in Italy

Italy has many “free beaches,” which are open to the public without requiring special permits. This makes them perfect for roaming clothes-free. These beaches are popular among nudists, who are referred to as naturists in Europe. 

While public nudity is technically not allowed in Italy, there are designated areas where it is permitted. Naturists may not be able to go au naturel on the streets, but they do have specific places to enjoy, such as hidden beaches like Benas Beach.

Benas Beach’s Nude Area

After one German couple wrote to local authorities asking to have their wedding on Benas Beach, which has an area for naturists, the trend quickly caught on. Luigi Tedeschi, the mayor of the nearest town, said allowing couples to exchange their vows there was an easy decision. While nudists frequent the area, not all beach visitors go without clothes. By having a designated area for naturists to exist freely and even hold weddings, the island reaffirms that the beach is a safe space for people of all backgrounds. The naturist section of the four-mile beach is a welcoming place for naturist couples looking to exchange their vows surrounded by the charm of Italy.
