Irish holidaymakers in Spain could get a surprise if they stumble upon a massive nudist beach - complete with a naked bar.
Vera, on the Almeria coast, is a popular holiday destination for Irish tourists, but many don't know that it is also home to one of the largest nudist beaches in the world.
The Vera Playa Naturist zone, which was created in 1979, is a 2km stretch of sunny beach where people are welcome to wander in the buff.

While in other areas in Spain going totally naked is frowned upon, there is a “no swimsuit day” on many beaches in July – but Vera lets you get your booty out 365 days a year, The Daily Star reports.
It's one of the few places in the world where you can sunbathe, swim and surf completely naked. You may even spot a few people having a pint at the beach in the buff.
There’s even a nudist bar for those who like to feel the wind on their skin, although drinkers are required to put their clothes back on by 8pm.
Meanwhile, the Vera Playa Club is the first naturist hotel in Spain and has a swimming pool for if you don’t want to take your clothes off on the beach.
While many nudist areas make clothing “optional” the Vera Playa Club requires you to be naked.
The website states: "Guests must be nude in the pool area at all hours."
But, wearing your pants is optional elsewhere in the resort. However, clothing is always required in the restaurant.
Some of the supermarkets and shops in the area also allow people to be naked in Vera alongside apartments and campsites but taking videos and photos is completely banned.
If you want to head to the beach in the buff you must ensure that you’re going to the correct part of the beach.
The south section of the beach is for those who want to wear clothes while the north is for naturists.
The beach is even a world record holder - in 2013, it was home to the largest nudist swim ever with 729 naked swimmers.
Police often walk the area to make sure that everyone is okay.
