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.

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

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

Not to be confused with Fairlight Cove, which is 2km away, and officially shown on the 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 naked well before then. Fairlight has had some access problems in the past due to coastal erosion, but regulars work hard to reopen it and at the time of writing it has very well built steps cut into the earth cliff.

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
