If you travel through the South coast of Spain, you’ll see that it is very common to go topless on the beach. Feel free to try it if you’ve never, because no one is going to judge you. But if you want to go to a beach where you can be fully naked, Mallorca has a great option for you. The Es Trenc beach is located in the south of the island, where tourism won’t be an issue like it could be on other parts of Mallorca.

Es Trenc is a Natural Area of Special Interest and its extension is about 2 km (1.2 miles) long. You’ll find enough privacy to feel comfortable in your own skin. The sandy dunes surrounding the beach give you extra safety. Many visitors might wear swimsuits, but you don’t need to feel ashamed. There’s plenty of areas of the beach marked for naturists.
