Ireland

Based in Dublin Ireland, Club Aquarius is affiliated to the Irish Naturist Association. Club Aquarius welcomes genuine naturist families and mixed couples and a very limited number of single women and men. Founded in 1981, the club has over a hundred members that meet weekly to swim and enjoy a variety of pursuits in a naturist environment. The club is founded on the principle of naturism being "a way to live in harmony with nature, characterized by the practice of nudity in common, which aims at promoting the respect of oneself, of others and of the environment."

The Irish Naturist Association (INA) has been in existence for more than 40 years, and acts as an umbrella organization. Our primary function is to promote Naturism in Ireland - we are currently campaigning for the provision of officially approved clothing optional beaches. Naturist facilities in Ireland are very limited. Although there are many secluded beaches around our extensive coastline that are used by naturists, there are no officially recognized naturist beaches. Organized facilities are currently limited to Dublin and Tipperary.
