Nude Beaches are increasing in popularity. As our society lowers its inhibitions, we are finding freedom in letting go of some previously accepted norms. Questioning these traditions helps us see that we do have minds of our own that can decide what is and is not within the standard of being acceptable. Use this information to help you find a nude beach in Sweden.
As is the case in most of Scandinavia, nude beaches are a dime a dozen. In fact, there are sixty nude beaches that make an official list and countless others that do not.
Hudiksvall is one option for nude beaches in Sweden. This beach is on the northern end of the Norra Dellen River and is approximately 45 kilometers from Hudiksvall. To reach this location, take road No. 305 from Delsbo through Bjuraker. Once you reach Friggensund, turn northeast. Approximately 700 meters before Fonebo beach, leave your car at the M signs. You will then walk approximately 100 meters through the woods and emerge at the beach.
Although now unofficial, Holick was previously an official nude beach. However, just because it is not officially a nude beach any longer does not mean you cannot enjoy nude sunbathing here. Holick Beach is less than one kilometer from Holick and is composed of two small sand beaches. They are approximately 300 meters from the road. To reach Holick beach, approach the town of Holick. Once you have passed a sign on the road that says 50 kilometers per hour and another that says Holick 1, park in the parking lot in the woods on the right of the road. If you pass a sign that says 30 kilometers per hour, you have gone too far. Look for a path that turns to the right. Once you reach a clearing in the woods, you will be at the beach.
