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!
Directions
Access is along a public footpath (track) which runs from the church in Marros to the coast path and then continues down to the beach. The distance is about a mile with a vertical descent of about 400 feet. There is a small car park next to Marros church. (The pin on the map is at the Church.)
Alternatively, you may approach the beach from the west end. If travelling from Amroth in an easterly direction go about 1 mile and up the hill. At about the point that you can see the Carmarthenshire County sign in the distance there will be a layby on the right and a sign indicating a footpath to Telpyn Beach. Park here and walk towards the sea down the path which narrows and becomes quite steep. If you take the right fork you will end up on Telpyn Beach and you will only be able to walk round Telpyn Point to Marros Beach at low tide.
Access to the beach and Naturism
At this point there are steps down to the beach which is huge pebbles at the top and fine sand after a few paces. Walk left (south east) to the point where the cliffs extend to the high tide mark. On the point is a huge detached rock that is perched on a smooth gently sloping rock ledge. It is a half a mile (15 min) walk each way. Naturist use is from this point eastwards from Telpyn Point for about 2 miles. The smooth rock ledge is charcoal grey and extremely comfortable. It is SW facing and a really good sun trap. As the rocks warm it can be comfortably used on mediocre days. Keep clear of the cliffs as there are regular small rock falls.
If you take the left fork in the path from the parking location you will arrive at the Marros Beach side of Telpyn Point and might be able to scramble down to the beach.
