Destinations: Naked Canary Islands

The Canary islands are a group of seven big volcanic islands off the coast of Morocco. They're part of Spain, a country where public nudity is protected by its constitution. The islands have countless official nudist beaches as well as several naturist communities.


 The most nudist venues are located on the islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife. The Maspalomas naturist beach on Gran Canaria is world reknown. One place that boasts the most nudist beaches of any in the world is El Medano, on the island of Tenerife. Better known for its surfing and unspoiled by tourism, it has a huge clothing optional beach, "La Tejita" to the south, and another large one, "La Pelada", to the north, that's surrounded by spectacular rock formations. Add to that several other smaller nude beaches, a beautiful surfer town with a boardwalk, and the incredible backdrop of the huge mountain complex, "El Teide" and you have an unforgettable holiday. You can even climb the 300 ft red volcanic cone that so identifies the town, and do so naked! 

Not all is perfect, however: the area is infamous for its strong winds, so some beaches are miserable on some days, and the water can be quite cold in the winter. Traveling to Tenerife is normally done by connecting via Madrid. Flight time is around 3 hours, and Tenerife is minus one hour from Greenwich time.
