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 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

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 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

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 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 doesn't offer

Directions Drive into St Osyth village and take the minor road south to Hutleys caravan park. At the sea wall, pay the car park fee. In the past you could then drive along the dirt rough beach track for about a mile to this official beach. Alas the winter of 2003 was harsher than other years and the middle part of this track is now unsuitable for cars. Reasonably fit people can still walk to the naturist section, but you will need to plan ahead. Our recommendation is to walk along about an

Location and the Beach A mixture of shingle, small pebbles and rock pools. A spectacular and tranquil setting with a potential naturist part stretching a long way if you fancy a good walk, however, there is a small textile area in the middle where the coast path meets the beach. Due to the location it is never crowded, though seems to have a regular following. Directions There are two ways of approaching - the flat way with a long trek along the beach - park in Sidmouth, turn left

Location and the Beach This is the best sandy beach available for naturist use in north Cornwall. Sandy beach and clear water, though surf can be heavy and rough. Steep sand dunes behind. Naturists use the far north end of the beach A delightful open beach but rather too dangerous for swimming as the sea is rough and there are rip tides. The lifeguards are at the southern end only. The northern end is also used by surfers (but the sea is rough and only suitable for really experienced s

A popular beach in South Wales. Access is either via Monknash or an emergency access ladder in the cliff. The part of the beach normally used by naturists is the rocky bit (flat rocks) at the north-western end, nearest Wick. It is not recommended to access it by the ladder fixed to the cliff at the Wick end, but people do. It is preferable to go via Monknash, parking in the farmer's field car park, then walking down the lane, through the Cwm and over the pebble beach, turning right at the

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
