Usually a trip to an Irish beach requires putting on more clothes rather than taking them all off.
But for people who can 'bare' the cold, there's now somewhere in Ireland where they can go and be natural.
The first nude beach on the island of Ireland will officially open at Hawk Cliff in Dalkey, south Dublin in April.
And naked beach-going is more popular in Ireland than you might think, said Pat Gallagher from the Irish Naturist Association.
"This country has had people using beaches all around Ireland for as long as I can remember for nude bathing," he told Good Morning Ulster.
"A lot of people would prefer not to say to anyone, but they would go on the continent to nude beaches or go to nude resorts on their holidays."
He said the organisation had been campaigning for a number of years for an official nude beach.
After a "sticking point with the legal system" was clarified in 2017 via a sexual offences bill, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council agreed to put up signs at Hawk Cliff notifying people of nude bathers.

And about time , we’ve been living in the dark ages for far far too long ..! It’s crazy to think it’s 2018 and only now are we being given official permission to strip off without fear of being heckled or even arrested..., mind this beach isn’t in my area so I’ll just have to seek out the many hidden beaches and islands in westcork and hope for the best ...! |

To my knowledge there's always been a stretch of donabate beach used my nudists as well as a small stretch at Brittas bay.
Perhaps they just weren't official |

We love nude sunbathing, but think we will probably stick to the hot weather beaches of the Med, rather than providing entertainment for the gawkers in a suburban Irish town lol   |
