The beach in the Spanish town of Vera has declared itself the new Guinness world record holder for collective nude bathing, with 729 individuals participating simultaneously.
Previously, the honour belonged to New Zealand, which had 506 nude bathers, securing the top spot.
The event, sponsored by the Vera City Hall in collaboration with the Spanish Naturism Federation, attracted participants with the slogan “The world’s biggest strip-off,” beginning early on Sunday morning in the Almeria province.
By noon, the designated time for the group dip, El Playazo beach was bustling with bathers.
At the beach entrance, participants were counted and divided into groups of 50, receiving tickets that indicated their registration numbers. A notary recorded the entire registration process on videotape.
According to town mayoral adviser Juan de la Cruz, by setting this new record, Vera aims to promote its tourist appeal and position itself as an international centre for naturism and nudity.
