South Africa

South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometres of coastline along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Due to the varied topography and oceanic influence, climatic zones range from the extreme desert of the southern Namib in the farthest northwest to the lush subtropical climate in the east along the Mozambique border and the Indian Ocean.

 Nudism
There is no official nudist beach in South Africa. Mpenjati beach was approved as a naturist beach in 2014, but its status was reverted next year and the process is currently under review. Sandy Bay and Umhlanga Lagoon are the only other beaches where nudity is, although ilegal, more or least tolerated. Other potentially nude beaches are quite remote and, according to some reports, unsafe. Apart from them, there is a growing number of naturist clubs and resorts all around the country. They range from 100% naturist resorts to naturist friendly places where nudity depends on the guests staying at that time.

  Legal status
Public nudity is prohibited and it is seen by law as “indecent exposure”. This does not mean you can’t be nude in the privacy of your own home and private backyard, or any other appropriate public place like a naturist beach or resort. 

 Organizations
The South African National Naturist Association (SANNA) represents the whole naturist community in South Africa along with other regional organizations. Their objective is to promote the practice and general acceptance of naturism and to represent naturism to local government and international organizations.
There are four provincial associations:
