    Close enough


    I don't think a beach would just suddenly turn into a proper nudist beach just because it's warm.

    Don't ask the surfers. They don't like sharing their beaches. Just ask Boards.ie

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    did you read the headline in the Herald today, about inappropriate behaviour at Hawk cliff near dalkey


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,952 ✭✭✭Lando Griffin


    I was at the beach loads this summer with the family.

    We went to a less well know one where there wasn't too many people and there was a lady sunbathing topless but face down on her towel.

    I promptly suggested to the OH that we should set up beside her and we did.

    Every time she turned she made sure she had her particulars covered.:mad:

    Loads of locations in Ireland where people swim naked - Have a look at the website of the Irish Naturist Association, there is a section called "map" with lists of beaches by province.

    In the monthly e-newsletter of the association you can also see a summary of the places with the stronger naturist tradition and the meetups by members of the group, for example in 2021:

    Ladestown (Lough Ennell), Co. Westmeath - Monday & Friday

    Baltray, Co. Louth - Sundays 

    Knocknagin (Gormanston-South), Co. Dublin - Wednesdays

    Corballis (Donabate-South), Co. Dublin - Saturdays

    Seapoint (Blackrock), Co. Dublin - Saturdays at sunset

    Hawk Cliff, Co. Dublin - resuming meetups soon 

    White Rock, Co. Dublin - daily

    Caliso, Co. Waterford - weekends

    Long Strand, Co. Cork - on demand

    Barna, Co. Galway - Wednesdays

    Trawalua, Co. Sligo - weekends

    Letterkeen, Co. Mayo - on demand

    Greencastle, Co. Donegal - on demand

    Strange time of year to be ressurrecting all these nudism threads Leticia...

    Social nudity is legal in Ireland since 2017.

    It has to be proven people were intending to cause fear, distress, or alarm with the exposure of their genitals in order to be committing an offense.

    I suppose the Gardaí might have their doubts if there are men on their own, but if it is a group of naked people swimming or sunbathing, the situation is altogether different, it obviously looks to the outsider like an event at the very least. Ireland is famous for charity events in the form of skinny dips. Ireland even holds the world Guinness record for the largest number of people nude swimming!!!

    Anyway, we are working together with Garda to educate their members.

    In case someone misunderstood, what is illegal in Ireland is sex in public (naked or not). So yes, if someone rings the police saying "I saw a naked man on the beach and he looked as if he was masturbating", they will probably want to investigate that.

    In practice, bona fide naturists feel protected by joining our groups or going to those beaches that are very well-known for their naturism, like Donabate, White Rock, Hawk Cliff, Sallymount, Caliso Bay, Long Strand, Inch, Barna, Trawalua...

    Hahaha, I understand where you are coming from, Loafing Oaf!

    But you would be surprised to see how many people have "nude year resolutions".

    Now it is the time when some introspective folks analyse their needs/longings/fears, etc, a time for bucket lists and also for sun holidays!!

    I confess I haven't been sea swimming in Ireland since November, which is why I couldn't resist flying to Malta in December and it was fantastic!! https://irishnaturism.org/maltese-naturism/

    And just so you know, in the association we hire swimming pools all year round. At the moment we have nude swim sessions in Ballinasloe, Wicklow and Monaghan Leisure Centres from the Coral Group.

    I would love to add more venues, if anyone has any idea of a place that might be open to our business, please let me know!

    I'm afraid I don't get the joke.

    I suppose some people find all this ridiculous and make fun of it, other people can't get past a sexualised image of genitals, but there is also a third way: Granting respect and self-respect to the human body no matter the appearance. It seems to me there is a huge positive impact on our mental health when we are able to accept our body the way it is, all parts included. I want to promote positive ageing and full body acceptance.
