Portsmouth, Hants: Eastney Beach - OFFICIAL BEACH
UNDER THREAT - Success for Beach Campaign!
Access to the beach is assured, naturists attending a meeting on 4
February 2006 at Eastney, Portsmouth were told. The footpath to the
naturist beach is owned by Portsmouth City Council. In addition, under
the planning agreement now being finalised, Qinetiq will provide open
public access through their site, with a new grassed area leading to a
new promenade along the line of the low beach wall. New steps to the
beach used by naturists will lead down from this wall.
Classification: Official
Directions: From the Free Car Park adjacent to the Caravan Site. Walk
down the path to the beach and turn left. Once beyond the signs
clothing is not required. N.B. It has been brought to my attention that
one of the signs indicating the Naturist Beach is immediately adjacent
to the end of the footpath. In order to avoid offending others Please
do not undress within 50 metres of the footpath.
