Visitor Report – El Pinet

26/07/15 – This was a Sunday near the end of July during the middle of the main holiday season. Playa el Pinet is very popular with textiles and they mostly crowd the parts around the beach houses and the south / west area as this part has life guards on duty. You will have to walk a good distance north / east to find nude bathers. The day I attended there were only 3 adult nude bathers (2 female and 1 male) and plenty of topless bathers (and topless beach walking) in this more secluded part that as you keep walking you get less and less people around. Plenty of opportunities for nude bathing, however if your happier naked with others doing the same around you, then this, it would seem is not the best beach for that. The beach it’s self was clean and sandy, water was calm this day and you are able to walk out to sea a fair bit before it gets deep.
