Location and the Beach Extract from "The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts", published in 2007 and provided by Nick Mayhew-Smith: Do not be put off by the grim approach to this beach. Although it is next to commercial and industrial warehouses, users describe the beach as very pleasant, not least because it is screened from the docks by a high retaining wall. It’s a pebble shore, so take a roll mat. Sand is revealed at low tide and the swimming in calm weather is good. There are no

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

Location and the Beach The beach is about a mile north of Britain's most easterly point and it can be very windy so try to have enough hands free for a windbreak! An old local saying is "It'll be a warm wind when the sun comes out". Alas in recent years due to a combination of coastal erosion here and coastal defence works further along the coast we have seen stones replacing the sand. However, the beach is well used kept clean and is friendly. The access to the sea is steep and can be roug

Location and the Beach Blissful seclusion, endless soft sands and fabulous views make Ross Back Sands a lovely place to relax. It’s not an official beach but there is enough space to allow respectful bare bathing, with dunes and sandy hollows for privacy. Even on a sunny weekend there may only be a few visitors.

The Beach Holkham, on the north coast of Norfolk, is one of the best sandy beaches in the country and has long had a naturist section towards its western end. It's a very gently shelving beach so the sea goes out a long way and there's plenty of room for everybody. There was a period in 2013 where we lost the official use of this beach although it was regained after much work by BN. The official naturist area is below the high-tide line. The beach is best if you choose a day when low t
