In East Germany, nudism is a big thing. Of course, I checked this out after moving there and I must say I was not at all surprised to see the Ordnungsamt (public oder office?) at the nudist beach enforcing nudity.
How very German.
Here deregulated beaches (outside of council zoning) are clothing-optional :

which are often signposted as such near urban areas, with no signage or policing elsewhere:

... just don't disturb nesting turtles, okay?
In Austria a semi mixed bath recently closed their nudist area because it's surrounded by forest which was filled with perverts that made a lot of trash in the forest and would fap behind trees to nude people.
Same for any semi reachable other public nudist place I've ever been to, you have to expect perverts wandering around.
That's why I prefer places where non nude is not welcome, even thought I never have seen it enforced and nobody minds a clothed friend that doesn't feel it yet either.
As for the nudist beach itself, it's mainly nudists who go there to be nude .. it's a tough search to find footage from that part of the beach as most people respect privacy.
The nudist beach is to the left, to the north, up the beach from the lifeguard building seen here in this drone footage:

it's a lot of empty space directly north of the clothed people with some dots of people in the far distance.
If you make it to the southern hemisphere you might like it .. people aren't prudish about nudity and mainly wear UV blocking clothes to avoid skin cancer .. people frequently strip and change in car parks when going out surfing | swimming | for a paddle.
Showers within the sauna area are usually mixed. Showers within the dressing areas are not.
Saunas in public pools etc may have different arrangements.
But surprised by the post above:
"can expect to hear the heavy breathing of amorous couples from about 20-30m away as"
You are naked. But any kind of inappropriate activity is a big no no. Even staring at another person or something. Buddies of mine went to a sauna and there was even a famous actress in it. It is considered normal and egalitarian.
This being said, try Budapest. The scale of this bath will blow your mind: https://bathsbudapest.com/szechenyi-bath
I was blown away already before I realized there is even an outdoor area. It is BIG.

Tried to bring a US buddy of mine (non-mixed) into a Spa/hot bath/Sauna in Beijing. He got terribly scared of having to be naked and rejected. But it is a good place. And they have a good all you can eat buffet. Sweat. Eat a little. Rest. Repeat. You basically spent there the whole day.
With swimming clothes you soak everything then bring it back to the chilling pool and back to sauna.
Also imho nudity in sauna seems wierd first time but you quickly realize you can be covered all the time (with sheet) and that its not sexual at all because you are focusing on your body as does everybody else (heat stress).
Imho after few saunas everybody seems to shed this fear and even gain confidence and casuality about the nakedness part.
I think nudist pools are a lot wierder.
