This beach is not to be confused with Fairlight Cove, which is 2km away. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey 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 by naturists well before then. The area is susceptible to coastal erosion both on the beach and the cliffs behind. This has ensured the surroundings remain natural but it sometimes makes access difficult. Loca

Location and the Beach The Gower was the first place in Britain to be declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it’s not hard to see why. To the north of the peninsula, at Whiteford Burrows, there are more than 2 miles of secluded sands backed by a nature reserve. Owned by the National Trust and leased to the Countryside Council for Wales, this lovely bay is surprisingly deserted. It’s a fair walk to the remote parts of the beach traditionally used by discreet naturists. Strong cu

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.

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

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

Location and the Beach Blissful seclusion, endless soft sands and fabulous views make Ross Back Sands a lovely place to relax.

The beach its self is quite clean and is made up of hard sand near the sea, soft sand in the middle, then the dunes with plenty of hollows to keep any wind at bay. Holy Is

The naturist beach lies to the east of the main town beach and can be reached by following the road through Leysdown and for about 1.5 km beyond.

Where it rejoins the sea wall there is a small parking area on each side, Mile End gate. Park here and continue eastwards on foot past some old wooden chalets. The naturist beach begins after 100m and extends for 250m. The beach is of sand a

The Beach Morfa Dyffryn is one of the best naturist beaches in the UK. It's situated on the Welsh coast between Barmouth and Harlech. It is a two hour drive from Chester and the West Midlands, and a three hour drive from Manchester, Liverpool or Gloucester.

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

There is some vegetation and undulation to give shelter on a breezy day however, there is no shade and no facilities anywhere near the beach. A fenced off Nature Reser

Park in main forest car park and walk 1-2km (10-20 mins brisk walking) west, or until you feel comfortable. If you plan to linger, it is best to walk to the two large sand dunes (one high and one wide) as the coastal path is inland at this point. People do occasionally walk/cycle past but they are generally not phased by naked people. Information provided for guidance only. All activity at your own risk.
