List of social nudity places in Asia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of social nudity places in Asia for recreation. Includes free beaches (or clothing-optional beaches or nude beaches) and some resorts.
[edit] Japan
- The non-official nude beaches at the South from Izu peninsula are mainly rocky and not crowded.
- Mixed nude bathing also occurs at some onsen (hot springs resorts), particularly those in rural locations.
[edit] Hong Kong
Hong Kong does not officially allow nude or topfree bathing, and most local bathers are quite conservative in their beach dress (e.g. many women wear T-shirts over swimsuits). Nevertheless, remoter parts of Hong Kong's extensive coastline do offer opportunities for nudity:
- At least one naturist organization in the territory arranges weekend boat trips to the remoter parts of Sai Kung Country Park in the New Territories.
- Unofficial nudist beaches reportedly exist on Lantau Island; Tai Long Wan beach on the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula is sometimes used by naturists.
- Historically, nudists gathered at Sha Tin in the 1930s and Wok Tai Wan on Tsing Yi Island, from the late 1930s to the 1950s.
- Power Station Beach on Lamma Island is reported to be used for nude night swimming at times.
- Some report that South Bay Beach - near Repulse Bay - is used frequently by groups of expatriate women nude sunbathing [unconfirmed]. South Bay and neighbouring Middle Bay see occasional topfree use by women.

- Neve Midbar Beach by the Dead Sea
