Brazil turns up on most naturist shortlists, and with reason. Brazil has a dozen officially recognised naturist beaches, several with campsites and pousadas attached.
The draw is straightforward: officially designated praias naturistas, warm sea and huge empty sand, naturist pousadas and campsites and federation-run beach organisation. Begin with Praia de Tambaba, Paraíba and work outwards.
Within Brazil we cover Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, each with its own beaches, resorts and rules.
