Overview
Rheinauen in Koblenz is a riverside meadow reported for FKK sunbathing, listed as an informal naturist-use spot rather than an official site. The setting is open grass beside the Rhine, used for short daytime stays in warm weather. Visitors find a simple public open space without managed facilities, toilets, food service, or lifeguards. Midday and afternoon bring direct sun to the mostly open meadow, while mornings tend to stay quieter. Summer, broadly June to August, offers the most usable conditions. Access is on foot via park paths, with city public transport and general city parking options nearby.
Visiting the beach
Rheinauen is best understood as a public riverside meadow in Koblenz, in Rhineland-Palatinate, beside the Rhine. It is reported as tolerated for FKK in parts of the meadow, not as a designated or managed swimming site. Plan for daylight use, as no fixed published hours are identified. The usual pattern is a short stay of one to a few hours for sunbathing and rest on the grass. The surface is a grass meadow with natural riverbank ground. Shade is limited to scattered trees, and most of the area has direct sun exposure. Bring sun protection, water, food, and everything needed for the visit, because no on-site food service, toilets, showers, or lifeguard service is indicated. The Rhine here has currents and is not a managed swimming site, so water contact calls for caution. Many people avoid swimming and use the area mainly for sunbathing. The meadow is open public space, so privacy is limited and other park users may pass nearby. Observe local signs and general park rules during the visit. Access is on foot via park paths. No confirmed dedicated parking is identified, so visitors rely on general city parking options. Koblenz city public transport with a walk can reach the area. Ground is uneven grass with no confirmed step-free facilities, which can affect wheels, strollers, and limited mobility. Dog rules are unconfirmed, and leash use is likely expected in public parkland. Mornings are generally quieter, while warm summer afternoons can bring more local visitors. Summer is the practical season; weather outside summer is cooler and wetter and less suited to meadow use.

Facilities
Naturist rules
Treat Rheinauen as shared public parkland where FKK is reported as tolerated, not formally designated. Stay within the meadow area where such use is reported, follow signage, and keep distance from paths and other park users. Give textile visitors and passersby space and privacy, and expect mixed use throughout the day. Keep noise low, avoid music that carries, take all litter away, and leave the grass as found. Do not photograph other people or linger near families and clothed groups. Use a towel for sitting, change discreetly, and keep swimwear nearby for shared sections and paths. If unsure whether undress is appropriate at a given spot or time, remain clothed or move to a quieter section.
Visitor overview
Expect a plain, open grass meadow by the Rhine with direct sun and limited shade from scattered trees. Facilities are absent, so visits are simple and self-supported with water, food, and sun protection brought along. The mood is generally quiet local park use, with more people on warm summer afternoons and quieter conditions in the morning. Water is Rhine river water with currents, without lifeguards or managed swimming, so most time is spent resting on the grass. It suits visitors seeking an informal daytime sunbathing stop of one to a few hours in warm weather, accepting limited privacy as other park users may pass nearby.
