I’m currently on a camping in Croatia, it’s so hot even swimming trousers feel sticky and irritating. It would be more comfortable just to be nude.

FKK still seems to be booming here, I noticed huge campings, 2000 or more spots, lots of facilities, all FKK.

Also spend many holidays as a kid on an FKK camping in Yugoslavia, wasn’t always easy, especially as a adolescent (always bring a towel), but it always felt like a normal family camping.

Don't you get sunburn though? When it's really hot I actually tend to cover up _more_ (with thinner, lighter clothing naturally).

I actually got my backside pretty badly sunburnt nude on a beach and I quickly, and painfully, learnt how you pretty much use it constantly.

Also, I've yet to work out the correct edicate for the (very necessary) process of applying sunscreen to your genitals on the beach, especially in mixed company.

Not if you use more sunscreen, or sit in the shade.

Given that on a US beach you will see people 95%+ naked I don't see how the extra 5% makes a difference to getting burnt. Just follow Mary Schmich (and thus Baz Luhrmann)'s advise - Wear Sunscreen.

The recommendation is to use clothes, sunscreen is for the parts the clothes don't cover. At least for us swedes with sensitive skin from the long winters :-)

Sure, but a typical US beach

shows that people often do not cover or have shade, as such I don't see any difference

Maybe some Sunblock 5000?

I did try wearing more clothes, but due to the high temperatures everything is soaking wet in no time, and starts to cause rashes. No clothing is more comfortable.

Sadly, the FKK seems to be in decline in Croatia. According to Slovenian newspapers the formerly FKK camping sites are slowly transitioning to clothed ones.

I believe we found nude beaches in a lonely planet when we were in Croatia. Visited two that I remember, one was on Vis.
