Brief background

• I am not sure of laws related to public nudity in Prague, but for our reference, let's refer to the sections where people are known to be nude as nude sections.
• Nude sections in grassy beaches next to lakes and river are common in Prague and all over Czechia. I was able to visit 3 of the 10 listed in http://www.naturista.cz/lokality/ftexta1.htm in Prague city and found active nudist participation in 2 of them, so I guess there could be easily 5 of them with active participation.  
• This popular nudist spot is located at almost the centre of Prague city.
• From the Nádraží Veleslavín bus stop, it is only 10 mins by walk.
• The nudist section is connected to the clothed section by a walkway.

Detailed review

Weather 

• Sunny, 25 degrees Celsius.
• I checked the temperature later on timeanddate.com by browsing to past dates. .

Visitors

• Almost 35-40 in nude section and roughly 100 in nearby section. 

Solo visitors present

• Yes, both males and females.
• There were also several groups of males.

Entry 

• Paid entry. In Euro it was almost 3.5 EUR. 
• No "couple only" entry rules.

Nudity rules  

• No board or demarcation for nudity was found, as is mostly the case with European beaches.

Gender ratio

• Women : men was roughly 1 : 4 in the nude section. 

States of undress

• Almost 100% among men were naked, and roughly 66% among women were naked and 10% topless.
• Interestingly, there were more topless women (at least 3) in the non-nudist section of the beach and most of them looked like younger than 40.

Age bracket ratio

• (18-40) : 40+ was roughly 1 : 9.
• There were few kids as well, who came with a lady. 
• Almost all the people in 18 to 40 age group were men. There were no women in this category.

Racial composition

• Almost all were whites.

Ethnic composition 

• Mostly ethnic Czechs are expected among the visitors.

Body sizes ratio

• Slim to plus sizes ratio was roughly 8:1.

Interaction level 

• Low - I could see only a few groups members interacting amongst themselves - one near a food counter hanging out together. 

Sexual activities observed

• No.

Activities & facilities

• An eatery right in the nudist section and two showers right next to the lake. Having been to many such destinations in Europe and Australia, I can fairly conclude that this is a European thing and mostly absent in Australia. In Australia the demarcation is very clearly mentioned, with sign boards (which is good) but generally, eateries are quite far (bad).
• There was a cable wakeboarding setup which basically allows surfboarding in still water. The cable setup is equipped with smooth start and speed control system, which in practice means the lift adapts to the speed of the user.

What is The Gender Ratio Project?

The Gender Ratio Project is the parent project of The Nudist Calendar Project, which covers beyond nudist destinations (events/platforms/apps etc.) and provides primarily gender ratio information.
