That might have been the case at one time, but it is not the case today,
though of course it is very open-minded compared to, say, the USA or
Saudi Arabia.

There are many things in many countries which a) are not technically
illegal but b) no-one does them and c) if someone does, they quickly
become illegal.

Note that above it says it is legal, but then it talks about "nude
beaches". Does it mean "legal at a nude beach"? If so, then OK, but
that's not very open-minded (but better than countries where there are
no nude beaches at all). If it means it is legal everywhere, then why
are there special nude beaches?

In Denmark, with the exception of a few kilometers in the far west of
the country, nudity is explicitly allowed on all beaches. As far as I
know, this is the only country in the world which can claim this.
However, this privilege is not made use of that often. There are more
people (as a fraction of the population) nude at the beach in Germany
(where nudity is not allowed everywhere) than in Denmark.
Also note that in Scandinavia (including Denmark), almost all public
saunas are textile and mixed or nude and single-sex. In Germany, mixed
and nude is the rule. Many public swimming pools have special times
(between once a month and twice a week) when nudity is allowed/required
not only in the sauna area but everywhere. In these respects, Germany
is much more open-minded than Scandinavia.
Maybe Anna, if she actually exists, should actually travel to Europe.
