Ireland is set to open its first nude beach this spring. According to Pat Gallagher of the Irish Naturist Association, going naked on the beach is gaining popularity and nudists now have an official place to practice. It'll open at Hawk Cliff in south Dublin this April.
"This country has had people using beaches all around Ireland for as long as I can remember for nude bathing," says Pat. "A lot of people would prefer not to say to anyone, but they would go on the continent to nude beaches or go to nude resorts on their holidays."
One note, Pat does warn against bringing children to the site amid growing concerns of sexual offenses and children being inadvertently getting exposed to.
- "Certainly children shouldn't be there, it's quite dangerous,” he notes. “Any children that would be down there should be supervised. It's not your typical beach area."
