Bocas del Saco Beach is its true name and, although it is known as nudist beach, it is not regulated, and does not officially "exist". In fact, if you ask your tour guide about a nudist beach, they will tell you that it does not exist, even if they know it, but hey! Do not worry. The truth is that Colombia is still a conservative country, and still remains modest about some subjects. Additionally, the Colombian indigenous communities do not agree with this behavior;. Regardless of this, you can get naked on this beach, without fear of consequences such as getting kicked out of the park.          

The beaches secludedness and lack of fame and competition have made those who visit Playa del Saco completely strip off their clothes; the feeling of being alone in the world makes them get rid of everything in an outburst of experiencing freedom and completely connect with nature.
