actually I beleive there is a naturist hotel in cabarete
Eden Bay Resort near Cabrera
The Dominicans who bathe in the sea wearing t-shirts or shorts are extremely few...And I suspect most of those do not own a swimsuit....Many resorts are full of Dominicans on weekends, especially during the low season, like now, and the vast majority of them wear swimsuits or bikinis.i wish. many dominicans bathe in the sea/ocean wearing clothes (shorts, t-shirt) and they do not really care to take lots of sun. so an idea of a naked beach never really caught up.

Don't know any myself...then again, we are getting close...topless bathing is generally accepted on the beach by most resorts (generally not by the swimming pools)...The practice is more popular among women from certain countries (less among those from N/S America more among those from certain European countries, such as France, Germany and culturally related countries )... Combine toplessness with thongs and the distance from there to nudity is EXTREMELY short...As for guys, well we normally bathe "topless" don't we...but we don't normally wear thongs, so I guess the distance for us is a bit longer.Are there any nude or clothing optional beaches in Dominican Republic?
Maybe is a North coast thing?yes but with t shirts over the top usually
Maybe is a North coast thing?
Or a public beach thing?
The overwhelming majority of Dominicans who go to the resorts I am familiar with on WE (mostly on the SE coast, between BC and PC ) wear normal swimsuits or bikinis, and ZERO T-shirts on top...
that's right - dominicans with money to visit resorts... but visit more remote beaches and wading in shorts/t-shirts are common. men in their underwear, etc.
neither is an odd or uncommon sight. it's a matter of economic status.
same with the busloads/guaguas that come from the cibao for day trips to pto plata, sosua, cabarete, playa grande, etc, etc
Just an observation from the nude beaches in Europe.
How come only ugly people go there?

I guess you have never been to Boca Chica or Sosua on a Sunday, then again have you ever even been to a Dominican Beach?
