BeachScout is a free map of naturist beaches, nudist beaches, nude beaches, FKK beaches, dog friendly beaches and ordinary swimming places worldwide, built entirely on open data from OpenStreetMap.

FIND NATURIST AND NUDIST BEACHES

Search any place on earth and see what is within 10 km. BeachScout separates officially designated naturist beaches from customary ones, so you know whether nudity is formally permitted or simply the local habit. Nude beaches, clothing-optional beaches, FKK beaches, naturist resorts, naturist campsites and caravan sites are each shown with their own marker colour.

You can also browse a whole country at once. Every naturist beach, resort and campsite in that country appears together, as a colour-coded map or as a grouped list.

Filters let you show or hide:
- Official and designated naturist beaches
- Customary and tolerated naturist beaches
- Naturist resorts and holiday villages
- Naturist campsites and caravan sites
- Beach resorts and lidos
- Lake and river swimming places
- Swimming pools
- Beaches with a Wikipedia or Wikidata entry
- Unnamed beaches

DOG FRIENDLY BEACHES

Browse every beach in a country where OpenStreetMap records dog access — a dog friendly beach in England, a Hundestrand in Germany or Austria, a spiaggia per cani in Italy, a hondenstrand in the Netherlands, or a plage pour chiens in France.

Beaches are grouped by what is actually allowed: dedicated dog beaches, dogs off the lead, dogs on a lead, and the beaches where dogs are not permitted. Open the country map and they appear together, colour-coded, so one glance shows where dogs are welcome and where they are not. Tap any beach for conditions, accommodation and parking. Bans are recorded more often than permissions, so BeachScout will often tell you where NOT to take a dog before you drive there — which is the thing nobody finds out until they arrive.

Germany has over 500 beaches with dog information, France 226, Croatia 131, Italy 118, Spain 95. This is a minority of beaches, shown only where it exists. Rules often change with the season, so check local signs.

WORLDWIDE COVERAGE

Beach data is prepared in advance for every country, so a search returns results in a second or two instead of waiting on a live map server. Where prepared data is missing, the app falls back to a live OpenStreetMap query.

BEACH CONDITIONS

For any beach, check air temperature, wind, UV index, rainfall, sunset time, sea surface temperature and wave height. These come from open forecast models, not a buoy at that beach, and the app says so.

PLACES TO STAY NEARBY

Find accommodation within 3 km of any beach: hotels, guest houses, apartments, chalets, campsites and caravan sites. OpenStreetMap includes many small, family-run places that never appear on commercial booking sites. Addresses and phone numbers are shown where the data exists, and the app says so when it does not.

NAMES YOU CAN READ

Beach names appear in the local language. One tap transliterates Greek and Cyrillic into Latin script, with correct Serbian gajica. Country search works in your own language.

BUILT ON OPEN DATA

BeachScout uses OpenStreetMap, Overpass API, Nominatim, MapLibre, Open-Meteo and Wikimedia Commons. Beach, naturist and dog access data in OpenStreetMap is contributed by volunteers and is incomplete in places. If a beach is missing or wrongly tagged, you can suggest a correction in the app.

BeachScout is a mapping and travel tool. It contains no adult content. Always check local rules and signage before undressing on any beach, and respect the customs of the place you are visiting.
