A directory of location guides
Where a place is, who runs it, and what the rules say, with the source on the page.
WikiLocation holds 461 guides from its own archive, arranged by country, and one section written this year from official pages only: 32 clothing-optional and naturist beaches in 14 regions, each with the clothing rule quoted from the park, council, statute or federation that sets it.
Beach guides, built from official sources
29 designated beaches, 2 where no authority designates and the law is quoted instead, 1 described without a boundary. 27 publishers, none of them commercial. Read the index, or start with the legality table.

How the beach entries are graded
Three grades, decided by what the governing page says and nothing else. Designated: a park service, council, landowner or national federation marks the area and the entry quotes it. Described, not bounded: an official page describes naturist use without a boundary or a decision. Not designated: no authority does, so the entry quotes the statute that applies and the park page as it stands. A beach with no official page at all is not listed. Four guides apply across every region: legality by country, etiquette as the park pages state it, a first visit and the numbers.
What this domain was
WikiLocation began in 2010 as a geolocation API that returned Wikipedia articles near a pair of coordinates. The API is gone; the page that developers still link to explains what it did and what replaced it: the WikiLocation geolocation API.
