Since when has Whiterock been a nude beach?

Very interesting to read all these comments.

I have been organising nude yoga and taichi on White Rock in 2020 and 2021 and I know some of us look pretty amateurish indeed, hahaha! We'll have to keep practising, watch for it in summer 2022!

I'm always on the outlook for different activities, you are welcome to contact me if you can offer naked qigong, naked movement, etc. Anything to keep warm in between swims.

White Rock is arguably the best clothing optional beach in Dublin or at least taking into account European standards of normalization of social nudity. We wrote an article in our blog about it (irishnaturism dot org slash nudist-white-rock)

Naturism/nudism is no longer a thing for old Irish men only, by the way, and the Irish Naturist Association has a female president these days :-)

We organise loads of meetups there during the fine season (May-October). Feel free to contact me in case you need more information or want to join a group.

Ohhh, what a nice surprise, Ted1!

Just before the pandemic I was enquiring at Crumlin because I am determined to plan "the return of the Crumlin pool" for old times' sake! I would like to add a monthly mid-week swim there and leaving Mespil for Saturdays (Covid and pool availability permitting).

I'd say it is easy to get sun burnt in Ireland with or without swimming attire since we are usually not so prepared for sunshine and forget about creams! I admit it can happen more to us because very often we just plan to go for a quick swim but we encounter many naturist acquaintances in White Rock, so we end up staying longer than intended.

I barely manage to read or sunbathe, the beach is so full of familiar faces that the catching up with the one or the other person makes it impossible!

It's absolutely brilliant that people are so content with themselves and not caught up having to be perfect and are happy to be naturists. Fair play to them for being so tough in these Baltic conditions too haha keep up the great body positively for people of all shapes, sizes and disabilities...we are all just humans after all... wheelchair access would be brilliant

Always amusing when those not familiar with White Rock arrive at the bottom of the steps and take a left turn -- the vast majority don't venture more than a dozen steps or so 😂

If done in a respectful manner there's no reason every beach shouldn't have a similar setup with acceptance of those wanting to sun without suits

Old thread I know but just wondered if this is still a thing? Seems to me naturism is becoming more and more acceptable and would like to give it a go. Is there a regular crowd here?

Seems very unlikely, but tell us more.
