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 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 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 QuinetiQ own the beach above mean high water and although they have not designated that as a Naturist beach, the beach continues to be very well used by Naturists. It's always worth checking with the http://www.eastneybeach.org.uk website for the most up to date information. Beach Facilities None, but there are toilets and other facilities in the textile caravan site. However it is unlikely that these are available to those who are not camping at the site. P

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

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 Ardeer beach is a sandy beach which stretches for about 2 miles with a high seawall behind. The Naturist beach starts at the Burns Memorial Mural (picture on the wall) and stretches all the way down to the rocks at the entrance to Irvine Harbour. There is no access to the beach from the Irvine side so everybody has to approach from the Stevenston side to gain access to the beach. Directions By Car To get to the beach from t

Location and the Beach I have attached a link as this little gem of a beach can be difficult to find. http://www.visitcowal.co.uk/ostel-bay-kilbride-bay-beach-walk-argyll.html This beautiful beach is normally very quiet and the local police are aware that on occasion naturists may use it and have no objection. On a hot, sunny day it can become busy but even when there have been children and dog walkers on the beach my husband and I have had no one complain or show any concern abou

Location and the Beach This is not a traditional 'official naturist' beach, but has been popular with naturists for decades. A beautiful, fine sandy beach. The setting is stunning, backed by a large forest (look out for the red squirrels) and with sweeping views across the mountains of Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula. Directions For Malltraeth Bay, from the Newborough Warren car park go on to the beach and walk west (right facing the sea) for three quarters of a mile to the isthm

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

A remote and beautiful shingly beach on the Jurassic Coast east of Weymouth. Accessed off the A353, take the small turn to Upton (about 4 miles from Weymouth) and continue straight going past a right turn to Ringstead hamlet continue on for nearly a mile to a car park area high up above the cliffs (grid ref SY759823). This Car park charges £5 a day, but is supervised in summer so safer than the top unstaffed NT car park. Directions from the Car Park - turn left after the toilets a

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 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
