The old nudist-beach sign has gone, but naturism has not been banned. The reserve makes clear that the natural beach remains equally accessible to people with or without swimwear.
The new sign does not ban naturism
After removing the former FKK designation, the public institution Lokrum Reserve installed a new information sign. It expressly states that naturist bathing remains permitted along this stretch of coast.
The change therefore introduces neither a ban on nude bathing nor an exclusively textile zone. Above all, it changes how the character of the place is described.
A public natural beach rather than an exclusive nudist zone
The reserve describes the site as a public natural beach. It remains open to all visitors on equal terms, whether or not they wear swimwear.
The sign does not designate the beach for a special exclusive purpose, restrict access or exclude anyone. Naturism is therefore a permitted way of using the beach, but not a claim to exclusivity.
Consideration matters more than the label
Where both forms of bathing meet, personal space, privacy and respectful behaviour matter. Taking photographs or videos of other bathers without their consent is particularly inappropriate.
Families, swimsuit users and naturists do not have to share the same habits. The official message nevertheless says that tolerance and equal access should define the site.
Formal rules will follow later
In March, the reserve began preparing a management plan for the maritime domain within the protected area. Together with a future decision on maritime order, it is intended to regulate the use of all natural beaches more precisely.
Until those documents are adopted, the reserve’s current information applies. Anyone travelling later should check the signs on site and the reserve’s website again.
