Location The beach is located on the Poole Harbour side of Ferry Road on the Studland side of the harbour entrance. Access and Parking Ferry Road can be accessed from the Sandbanks Ferry or from the Studland Village direction.   Park in the road near the cut that goes to the naturist section of Studland beach but go in the opposite direction. The Beach The beach is small and very quiet, you will probably have it to yourself apart from the occasional dog walker who ven

Location Pentle Bay is located on the West Coast of Tresco, in the Isles of Scilly. Access and Parking There are no private cars on Tresco, so parking isn’t going to be possible! Access to Tresco is generally by boat from Hugh Town on St. Mary’s although it is also possible to access Tresco by boat from one of the other ‘off-islands’. It used to be possible to get to Tresco from Penznace by Helicopter ( this isn’t running at the moment, but there are plans to start a service

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. Directions From the Tamar Bridge at Plymouth trav

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 Kenfig Beach – (Also known locally as “Sker Beach” – a reference to the rocky point at the southern end.) Kenfig Beach is approx 2.5 miles long and comprises in the main of golden sand backed by a pebble bank and extensive sand dunes. The beach is within the Kenfig National Nature Reserve. The beach runs almost north-south with usual access (and hence families and textiles) at south end. Access is possible at many points but the car park at the Nature Reserv

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 Whichever way you go, it's a long walk to get to Marros. The beach is about 2 miles long, stretching from Telpyn Point at the western end to Ragwen point at the eastern end, and is a mostly sandy beach backed by a storm bank of pebbles with boulder clay behind. There are occasional dog walkers and other users but it is reported that generally naturist use of the beach is without problems. Be careful to check the tides and ensure that you do not get cut off!

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

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

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.

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 Beach The beach is vast. I believe that naturists tend to congregate near the second stream (just south of the bridge mentioned above) Directions Use postcode NE61 5EG for Druridge Village then drive until you reach a sharp right bend in the road with a left turn into the National Trust parking area (free of charge). Park at the far end then either walk through the dunes, turning left on the beach, or follow the bridleway from the car park until you get to a bridge and a “beac

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 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

Location  Haverigg beach is found at the mouth of the Duddon Estuary and has views over the Lake District fells. OS grid ref. SD 1599 7833 BeachThe shingle beach gives way to a vast expanse of sand, heading out towards the Irish sea. There are large sand dunes, covered in sharp sea-grasses. The long beach is clean and has, in the past, been awarded Blue Flag status. The beach is tidal so is best visited at low tide. When the tide is out, visitors can walk along the beach to S

Location A sandy beach located around 3 miles north of Barrow-in-Furness.  great views of the beautiful Duddon Estuary and the Lake Fells beyond. Also known as Sandscale Haws / Roanhead. The Beach A sandy beach with a big tidal range exposes huge sandy flats but also causes strong currents making it unsuitable for swimming. The beach here is an important nature reserve which is home to numerous rare plants and insects along with an estimated 15% of the UK's natte

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.

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). Anywhere along the beach is suitable but people do pop out at Buckie Loch itself and avoid swimming to close to entrance to Finhorn Bay (currents, sandbanks and seals). It is also possible to get a ferry from Findhorn village, but make sure you walk far enough along bey

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 is a large expanse of beach, mostly large pebbles. It is best for a quick rest and dip while walking/cycling along the Moray Coast Trail between Lossiemouth and Kingston. Park in forest car park near Arthur’s Bridge. Walk N/NE to reach beach. Anywhere east of here is suitable as it is not visible from path. Alternatively, park in Lossiemouth, cross the bridge to the East Beach and walk until you feel comfortable – this is likely to be over 20 mins. Information provided for gu

Location and the Beach Surprisingly, this away-from-it-all nude beach near the southern tip of Arran enjoys official status as a naturist area. Palm trees outside the nearby pub attest to the favourable effect of the Gulf stream. The views across Kilbrannon Sound to Kintyre are delightful. Look out for seals basking just offshore. Don’t expect to find lots of other visitors, dressed or undressed, at this remote haven: you may well have the beach to yourself. The beach is of fine sand,

Location and the Beach Private access. Leave Lower Largo village travelling East when you see the single cottage on the right turn down the track until you get to the car park.walk to the beach and turn east , the naturist section is in the middle at the old salmon nets. This is strictly private but so long as the car is left sensibly and there is no mess and litter no one minds. The water is very shallow for along way out and so is very safe for children. But check locally for ti

Location and the Beach Brian Craigie writes to tell us about Crakaig Beach, Loth, Sutherland, Scotland. He says, "I have always had warm and happy memories of holidays in Scotland, particularly in Sutherland where the beaches are stunning, so when I first heard about a possible naturist beach in Sutherland, I decided to find out more about it. 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
