Nude Beach in South Africa
Nude Beach: Unbeknown to many, South Africa has several nude beaches. Sure, some of them are more official than others.
However, they all accept swimmers who get naked to enjoy the beach in nothing more than what nature has given them.
If you are a passionate naturalist, or maybe you are thinking of trying it, the nude beaches to try are:
Mpenjati the official Natural Beach.
A 250-meter stretch of beach located within the Mpenjati Nature Reserve in Trafalgar. It is on the south coast, which was assigned to the nudist beach by the local municipality in late 2014, officially opening onwards to date.
Mpenjati Nude beach in Africa is a small stretch of Trafalgar beach about 140 km south of Durban, on the hibiscus coast.
This is the first nude beach in KwaZulu-Natal and the only official nude beach in the country (like Sandy Bay they are unofficial nude beaches).
The opening of the Mpanjeti beach was not without complications. Months of questions, appeals and public repercussions were the result of the municipality’s decision.
Which caused a close crisis while a group of interested citizens argued against the green light. Now Sandy Bay below wants official status.
Sandy Bay Nude beach in Africa.
The Sandy Bay is a nudist beach in Africa, a beautiful unspoiled beach. It is not as crowded.
Most people who visit the Nude beach are beach lovers who love nature in a lovable way with nudists and non-nudists.
Unfortunately, some people fail to control themselves and blur the image of the family beach by having their things outdoors.
However, this only happens in quiet seasons when there are not many people on the beach.
If you visit in the holiday season like in December or most weekends in the summer, you will find decent families and people enjoying the beach.
Sandy Bay a Nude beach in Africa, it is incredibly worth your visit. If you are brave enough, feel free and take off your clothes. Then hit the waters.
Make sure you bring everything you need with you as there are no shops or retailers on the beach. Especially the water, because the tour can be very hot.
For accommodation at Sandy Bay, choose any according to your budget in Capetown since it is only 20Kilometers away. Check the Nearby Hotels Here.
Umhlanga Lagoon, Durban.
Lovely upmarket beach suburb close to Durban. Nude bathing available near the lagoon towards Umdloti, about a kilometre north from the end of the boardwalk along a beautiful beach flanked by a natural forest nature reserve.
