Naturism and Nudist beaches in La Gomera, Canary Islands
As one of the Canary Islands, La Gomera is also home to several nudist beaches and it is actually quite a popular destination for naturists looking to visit the archipelago.
Is nudism allowed in La Gomera?
Yes, nudism is allowed in La Gomera, just like in the rest of the Canary Islands and Spain.
Although you can't sunbathe nude on town beaches, the great thing about the Canary Islands is that they have a lot of wild beaches that are accessible where you can get away from the crowds.
