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

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.

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

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

Park in main forest car park and walk 1-2km (10-20 mins brisk walking) west, or until you feel comfortable.

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

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. It becomes a track (watch out for potholes) and sweeps away from the sea wall and back again in a U-shaped loop. 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
