Abrico is one of very few nudist beaches in an urban area in Brazil and the only one in the international tourist mecca that is Rio.

The that the ban has been lifted this will motivate nudists' the foreign tourists, especially from Europe, will flock to Rio if they have a place where they can bare all.

"We just reopened and we already have foreigners from Germany, Spain and the United States, and people are asking for the address," Ribeiro said.

Nudist Numbers Growing

Brazil, with its nearly 5,000 miles of mostly beautiful sandy coast has only about 20 nudist beaches or colonies, while in Spain alone there are 400, according to court documents. Compared to an estimated 5 million nudists in France, a much smaller nation, Brazil's 500,000 followers of nudism pale, Brazilian nudist groups said.
