Lokrum — naturist bathing shore
Dubrovnik, Lokrum, Dubrovnik-Neretva County
A rocky bathing shore on Lokrum where nude swimming remains expressly permitted alongside clothed visitors. The reserve clarified the shared-use policy in September 2026, replacing older signs without ending naturist bathing.
Nudity policy
Nudity permitted; shared public shore
The Lokrum Reserve’s 2 September 2026 notice expressly permits naturist bathing on this longstanding shore while keeping it open on equal terms to people with or without swimwear. It is not a nudist-exclusive beach and the new sign does not exclude clothed visitors.
Other island beaches, restaurants, paths and attractions have their own use rules. The old FKK rope boundary/sign is not a current claim of exclusive access.
Facilities
- Showers: The naturist federation’s first-hand venue account and photos confirm a shower at the approach to the bathing rocks; availability should be checked locally.
Only confirmed facilities at this place are classified; dress rules, charges and seasonal availability are explained below.
Access & visiting
Lokrum Reserve admission is required for a day visit, whether arriving on the official ferry or another boat. The current operator ticket includes reserve entry and a return transfer when using the official Lokrum ferry; arriving independently does not remove the reserve-entry requirement. No overnight stay is needed.
Age & supervision
The island visitor scheme admits children, and the checked guidance does not identify an adult-only enclosure on this shared nude/clothed shore. Adult supervision and the island’s current visitor and beach rules still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Reserve visits and official ferries follow the current seasonal/weather timetable. Check the day’s service and last return before travel.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
From Dubrovnik’s Old City Port, purchase the official Lokrum ticket at the Luža ticket office and take the boat to Portoč. The reserve’s current map locates Portoč at 42.62547862, 18.12288719; this is the arrival harbour, distinct from the naturist shore shown by the listing pin.
Parking
There is no visitor car access or parking on Lokrum. Park lawfully in Dubrovnik, then walk or use local transport to the Old City Port. City parking and the boat/reserve ticket are separate costs.
Finding the naturist area
From Portoč, follow the established coast/island path towards the eastern and southeastern bathing rocks, using the current information sign permitting naturist bathing. The first-hand naturist account describes roughly 5–10 minutes on foot from the boat and identifies the shower at the approach. Ask reserve staff for the current signed route because the former FKK signs and rope division were changed in 2026; do not use cliff-edge shortcuts.
Where naturism applies
The verified nude-permitted shore is the longstanding eastern/southeastern bathing-rock area near the mapped FKK Rocks point. It remains shared with clothed visitors; the reserve’s notice does not turn the entire island or all its beaches into nude zones.
- Check the current local access signs and operating conditions before visiting.
- Respect other visitors’ privacy and the venue’s photography rules.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
