Beach listings are always free, and always will be.
In order to keep this Website maintained, updated and current does cost. There are Hosting costs and the Captain’s time (which has a cost). In addition, to get the information out there, there are Marketing costs – Advertising on naturist sites and Newsletters, printed material and Exhibition costs.
To pay for this there are different ways of advertising. Do contact the captain if you wish to contribute (for some (e.g. a new beach) you can just register and add a paid-for Listing, for others there will be a fee).
Advertising on the website – what is there?
Embedded promotions
- Google Ads. We’re all familiar with these. If you click on a link that you find interesting then we will receive a small fee.
- Affiliate links. These are links to third party websites (such as Hotels or Van hire). If you go on to make a Booking then we will receive a small fee. Note that you don’t pay any more to make the Booking, our fee comes from the profit they would make anyway. They make less profit for that transaction compared to you going directly.
Directory Listings
- Beaches – always free and please do contribute.
- Accommodation, Clubs, Spas, Leisure activities & attractions. Some are Affiliate links as above, some are user contributed by the owner. If you want to add your Business, please do. All you need to do is to Register, then click ‘add listing’ and follow the steps. Two listing types are available:
