Location and the Beach A pleasant beach of sand and stone between Folkestone and Dover. Usually approached from Folkestone to the west or Samphire Hoe to the east. The white cliffs tower above the beach but they can be unstable. In 2006 a sudden chalk fall sent naturists running for their lives. Access to the beach from Folkestone involves walking along unguarded concrete sea defences. The unwary could fall 20 feet. Any children or pet animals would have to be carefully watched. The area is

Location and the Beach The beach is comprised of large pebbles with occasional patches of sand and backed by chalk cliffs. It is not overlooked and attracts few walkers. In the past the beach has been closed owing to cliff falls. The cliffs are fast eroding, which is how they're white - don't sit too close! A visitor described the beach as: "very clean" and "in a beautiful setting, the white chalk cliffs of the seven sisters behind you afford great views down the coast" Safet

Location and the Beach The beach is of fine shingle, which are comfortable to walk or lie on, but shelving quickly in to deep clean water. Tides can be strong and the cliffs crumbly, so care is advised. The views along the coast are stunning, and an attraction is the natural peace, as there are no facilities, so take all you need and plan to spend long enough to justify the scramble down a steep path, which is not suitable for the disabled. Directions By Car From the A3

Location and the Beach Saunton Sands is a three mile long expanse of sandy beach facing due west and cut off to the south by the combined estuaries of the rivers Taw and Torridge. Behind the beach is a large area of sand dunes - Braunton Burrows - which are home to a golf course, a nature reserve and Ministry of Defence training areas ( marked "Danger Area" on O.S.maps). The last of these features are unlikely to be a problem at holiday times - but further information my be available from t

Location and the Beach Probably the most public naturist beach in Devon and certainly one of the easiest to reach. Backed by red sandstone cliffs, it is a beautiful setting. A very popular naturist beach, so if you want to avoid the crowds, walk further down the beach. The beach consists of large pebbles which bank steeply into the sea. These are not easy to walk on and uncomfortable, so good footwear and maybe some form of cushioning/air bed to lay on is a good idea. Very small pocket

Calshot Beach is a Private Beach. Unfortunately the owners Cadland Estate are now insisting they will enforce a ban on all nudity on the beach. Calshot Beach is approximately 12 miles south of Junction 2 of the M27 via the A326 and B3053 which will take you to a pay and display car park, SatNav SO45 1BR.

Location and the Beach Pembrey beach is several miles long and is a very wide, flat sandy beach. Even at high tide there is probably 10 meters of sandy beach between the water and the dunes so you will not be cut off at high tide. If the tide is out then the sand 50 meters or more from the dunes seems to be significantly firmer, which makes walking easier. You may use the beach for a naturist walk or just for a day lying on the beach. How far you can walk varies greatly with the day of

Location and the Beach Surprisingly, this away-from-it-all nude beach near the southern tip of Arran enjoys official status as a naturist area. Palm trees outside the nearby pub attest to the favourable effect of the Gulf stream. The views across Kilbrannon Sound to Kintyre are delightful. Look out for seals basking just offshore. Don’t expect to find lots of other visitors, dressed or undressed, at this remote haven: you may well have the beach to yourself. The beach is of fine sand,

Location and the Beach Brian Craigie writes to tell us about Crakaig Beach, Loth, Sutherland, Scotland. He says, "I have always had warm and happy memories of holidays in Scotland, particularly in Sutherland where the beaches are stunning, so when I first heard about a possible naturist beach in Sutherland, I decided to find out more about it. The landowner is Michael Dudgeon, and he has declared part of the beach as naturist. While not a naturist himself, Michael is keen to permit nat

This involves a 5km walk or bike ride to reach this amazing beach which is usually deserted. Park in main Culbin Forest car park (signposted from A96) and walk NE to Buckie Loch (map in car park, 5km, approx 1 hour walking). Anywhere along the beach is suitable but people do pop out at Buckie Loch itself and avoid swimming to close to entrance to Finhorn Bay (currents, sandbanks and seals). It is also possible to get a ferry from Findhorn village, but make sure you walk far enough along bey

Location and the Beach Extract from "The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts", published in 2007 and provided by Nick Mayhew-Smith: A series of three bays to the east of Downderry village, where the second and third ones are ideal for sunbathing naturally. The sand is fairly coarse but the coves are completely undeveloped and provide good shelter when the weather is breezy. Care is needed to avoid being cut off at high tide.

The Beach The beach is vast. I believe that naturists tend to congregate near the second stream (just south of the bridge mentioned above) Directions Use postcode NE61 5EG for Druridge Village then drive until you reach a sharp right bend in the road with a left turn into the National Trust parking area (free of charge). Park at the far end then either walk through the dunes, turning left on the beach, or follow the bridleway from the car park until you get to a bridge and a “beac

Location and the Beach East End Beach is East of the Lymington River and south of the village of East End. It can be found at the bottom of Tanners Lane Post Code SO41 5SP This very small beach is often busy with water sports enthusiasts and parking can be limited as there is no dedicated parking area and the road ends at the coast. The shingle beach is very small and rapidly turns into salt marsh and grass as you walk west. The area is popular with walkers and birdwatchers and does

Location and the Beach QuinetiQ own the beach above mean high water and although they have not designated that as a Naturist beach, the beach continues to be very well used by Naturists.

Beach Facilities None, but there are toilets and other facilities in the textile caravan site. However it is unlikely that these are available to those who are not camping at the site. P

Not to be confused with Fairlight Cove, which is 2km away, and officially shown on the map as Covehurst Bay. History was made at Fairlight in 1978 when the local council designated it an official naturist beach – the UK’s first, although plenty of beaches were used naked well before then. Fairlight has had some access problems in the past due to coastal erosion, but regulars work hard to reopen it and at the time of writing it has very well built steps cut into the earth cliff.
