I have in the past gone bare on sometimes pretty busy Spanish beaches, taking nothing and walking purposefully past them for several miles. It is not prohibited there. Individuals would notice, but few looked at all troubled. Only once did anyone (a guy) item on the specific grounds that kids might see me. As we all know, kids take no notice of simple nudity, but I did feel worried because I subsequently felt exposed and had no means at all to cover-up. I occasionally experienced groups of two or three women expressing obvious acceptance that I was naked, not that I was looking for that. I avoided single women who weren’t bare or top-free so as not to make them feel uncomfortable or threatened. It was interesting to watch how some couples saw me nude and then removed their clothing.
young family nudism was before. In the interests of not causing offence and not giving naturism a bad name even if legal I have altered my strategy to public nudity to be less clear. Much like Pete, I concur hiking is a lot more enjoyable than the shore. I also use quieter Spanish beaches where few people pay any attention besides simply finding, some see me and do the same! Hiking in Spain, it is so quiet the chances of running into someone are low. Hiking in the UK the chances are much greater. If alone I ‘ve tend to vanish off into the bushes, feeling nervous since I ‘ve absolutely no wish to offend but fearful it might be taken as more than simple nudity. Doing a Spencer Tunick installation has given me a different pespective on how the Brits see nudity. 1700 people went naked for a number of hours in a city in the name of “art”. Most weren’t naturists and were quite nervous at first. I do not go naked on UK shores unless lying on my abdomen in a silent area. I just stand up when there’s not anyone about for at least 700 yards, but may walk a long way then. If a person keeps on walking towards me I do not usually worry about it, since it is their choice and I am on a very wide big shore, but if it is narrower I sit down and am unobtrusive until they have passed. If I see a lonely woman I frequently cover up as we get closer so she is able to feel “safe”. No one in the united kingdom has ever objected or appeared piqued. Occasionally they have been clearly amused, so view say hello. You might wonder why I do not use nudist beaches very often. The key response is simple. Regrettably, in the UK and on the smaller Spanish shores there are frequently various pervs hanging around and I usually do not feel as comfortable. They are the ones giving naturism a bad name.
