"Absolutly amazing nudist beach. It is a piece of wild nature, so if you are looking for facilities this is not for you. But if like me you are looking for a calm place to celebrate nakedness this is just the right place for you. In fact there is a chain of beaches, that you can easily visit as they are all connected by hiking path. It seems that no problem to hike naked around the Eloro and Marianelli. At least I did so. There are several ways to get there. The easiest way is to park near Marianelli restaurant and continue about 15 min walking. There is an entrance fee of 3.5 € - for me totally worth it. The payment is with credit card only. You can also park near Eloro - not sure if you pay there, but the passage from Eloro to Marianelli is a bit complicated. But doable. Please do not leave your garbage there. Let's keep the place clean. There are plenty of wood branches on the beach. Some were complaining about it, for me it just add more charm. I went there three times, all on weekdays. One day was a bit cloudy so there were very few visitors, other two were hot and sunny so it was much more crowded, but not overcrowded. It seems to be also LGBT friendly"
