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).

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

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 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 The beach is of fine shingle, which are comfortable to walk or lie on, but shelving quickly in to deep clean water. Tides can be strong and the cliffs crumbly, so care is advised. The views along the coast are stunning, and an attraction is the natural peace, as there are no facilities, so take all you need and plan to spend long enough to justify the scramble down a steep path, which is not suitable for the disabled.
