This beach is a hidden gem beside the Moray Coast Trail. It offers a challenging walk and an even more challenging scramble down so you will need a head for heights! Park in the east beach car park in Hopeman and walk east on the Moray Coast Trail for approximately 30 mins, up onto the cliffs and past a quarry to a bay with a fulmar carving above. Follow the path round to LHS and down two rocky steps before doubling back to left and down the vague path hugging the cliff to the beach. This b

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).

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.

The Beach A quiet, gently sloping, sandy beach on the East Kent coast. At high tide swimming is excellent in shallow water (warmed by the sand if high tide is in the afternoon), sometimes accompanied by inquisitive seals At low tide it is a very long walk out to the water and even longer to get more than ankle deep. 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

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 Extract from "The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts", published in 2007 and provided by Nick Mayhew-Smith: A lovely secluded bare beach of small shingle heaped up by the sea, the top of which hides the shore from the coastal path behind. Apart from some fishermen near the access points don’t expect to see many other people, apart from a few nude bathers. Beach Facilities There is no shade on the beach, but the car park at West Bexington has a cafe a

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 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

A half mile stretch of beach between Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea. A Pay and Display Car Park (Credit Card or Ringo APP) can be accessed from B3058 Milford Road between Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea. See Google Maps or SatNav SO41 0LJ. Although display signs say there is no access to the beach, access is possible with caution necessary at times. This is because the whole coastline suffers from extensive erosion causing the cliffs to be unstable especially after stormy or very wet weather.

With many thanks to JonTheNaturist who has visited this beach... It is known to *some* locals as "the nudist beach" but does not seem to be well used as such. It is very quiet. It should be noted that last time I was there in late 2020, the Church car park was closed. That might have been lockdown related. Without it, parking is quite limited. The only vehicular access is down Fort Road, off the main road between Sully and Penarth. There is some parking at the end of the road, by the

Placeholder until we have information A huge stretch of sand, a very popular beach with families and surfers. It is possible that naturists use the northern end, but this needs to be verified.
