History Fact
In Vera Playa, a Guinness world record was set On the 21st July 2013 with 729 skinny dippers entering the sea at El Playazo beach. At 12.00 noon, the previously set record of 506 from the previous year in New Zealand was broken.*
The event was arranged by a local online forum called the Vera Playa Friends.
The then Vera Town Mayor “José Carmelo Jorge” called the mass nude swim a “tremendous success”. and was organised in association with Vera Town hall and the Tourist Office.
The Spanish Naturist Federation was also involved in the record attempt, and the day chosen was called the “day without swimsuits” . and hundreds of Spanish naturists flocked to the beach and viewed and participate in the event.
*(However, sadly this Record has now been beaten by 2500 women in Ireland during a charity event for cancer).
