Location and the Beach
Extract from "The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts", published in 2007 and provided by Nick Mayhew-Smith:
Do not be put off by the grim approach to this beach. Although it is next to commercial and industrial warehouses, users describe the beach as very pleasant, not least because it is screened from the docks by a high retaining wall. It’s a pebble shore, so take a roll mat. Sand is revealed at low tide and the swimming in calm weather is good. There are no facilities but Shoreham seafront is a 15-minute walk away. Many naturists prefer Shoreham to the very public Brighton nude beach nearby. Some nude sunbathing takes place on the very quiet and mostly textile section of beach to the east of the traditional naturist area, beyond the large groyne made of boulders.
Directions
From the centre of Brighton, travel west along the seafront to Hove along the A259. Look for the windsurfing school and the lagoons (on your left) where you need to filter in the left lane off the main road beside some traffic lights, which takes you into Wharf Road. After a couple of hundred metres turn left at the mini roundabout. Keep going as the road doglegs and snakes toward the dock area. A high concrete sea defence wall on the left marks the naturist area: walk along the pebbles from either end. There are 50 parking bays at the west end of the lorry park, but don’t obstruct the commercial areas.
