Nudist Beaches: United Kingdom Official
BeoWolf
Nudist beaches posted to a web site I found:
New Beach : Morfa Dyffryn, Gwynedd.
Morfa Dyffryn is probably the best naturist beach in the UK. It's
situated on the Welsh coast between Barmouth and Harlech. It's a two
hour drive from Chester and the West Midlands, and a three hour drive
from Manchester and Liverpool.
Access and Parking - This description assumes you are driving north out
of Barmouth town along the A496 (the coast road). Almost exactly four
miles from central Barmouth along the A496 you'll come across the tiny
village of Tal-y-bont. Drive through Tal-y-bont and over a narrow
bridge. Just after this bridge you'll come across a road down to the
beach. This road, next to a small chapel, is sign posted 'Traeth Beach'
('traeth' is Welsh for beach). Follow this road down to the car park.
Morfa Dyffryn, the naturist section, is about a one mile walk north up
the beach from the car park. Near to this car park is a second car park
at the Dyffryn Seaside Estate. Naturists are better using this second
car park as it is closer to the naturist section.
New Beach : Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
A naturist area has been signposted by the local council. The naturist
section is to the west of the main town beach - at least 500 yards away
from the main textile (non-naturist) area. Be careful not to strip too
near the textile area to avoid complaints.
You reach the beach by taking the steps down to the main beach, and
turn right as you face the sea. To walk along to the nude area it is
easier to keep close to the cliffs as the beach is pebbles.
New Beach : Studland Bay, Dorset.
The UK's most popular naturist beach has official approval from the
National Trust, which owns the bay. The naturist part of the long sandy
beach (pictured) is about 1km long, and is well signposted. It is near
the centre of the bay, which has car parks at either end. Park at
either of these car parks (at Shell Bay on the northern end or Knoll
beach at the southern end) and walk along the paths/beach until you
reach the naturist section.
You can also get there by catching a ferry from the Sandbanks peninsula
in Poole and walking the last mile via Shell Bay. A van is situated on
the beach on busy summer days, selling drinks, snacks and ice creams to
naturists.
New Beach : Brighton Black Rock Beach, Brighton, East Sussex.
Probably the UK's most public naturist beach, which may not suit every
naturist visitor, it is at least easy to find. The official naturist
section is to the east of the main town area, or left as you face the
sea, between Peter Pan's Playground and the marina. Pebbles.
New Beach : Fairlight Cove, Hastings, East Sussex.
This is the first naturist beach to be officially designated in the UK.
It has been described as hard to find, but the following directions
should make it easy. The walk is only about 20-25 minutes, and I've
made these directions very detailed. Park in the Hastings Country Park
carpark, which is a mile or so east of Hastings on the road to
Fairlight village. Cross the main road and head down the rough lane,
which has trees on either side. Keep following the lane downhill, past
some single houses, until you reach a row of three houses, on the left
hand end of which is a tearoom. To the left of the tearoom is a farm
yard and to the right are a couple of houses, then a woody area
covering a stream. There is a small gate (please shut behind you) that
leads into the woody area and a sign saying 'To The Beach'. The
footpath leads down to a footpath junction marked with bollard 9 (there
is also a map of the park here). Follow the arrow downhill to
'Fairlight Glen' and keep going downhill until you get to Bollard 10,
and see a sign to the beach. Turn left, following the beach sign. After
a few yards the path crosses a small stream, after which turn
immediately right. Keep following this path - past the 'warning,
naturists' sign - and you will end up at the naturist beach. There are
some rough steps in this last bit.
New Beach : St.Osyth, Clacton, Essex.
Access is through Hutley Caravan Site on the road to the sea from St
Osyth. Once you get to the sea, turn right. The beach is sandy and
officially naturist.
New Beach : Corton Beach, Lowestoft, Suffolk.
The beach is off the B1385 coast road between Lowestoft and Corton,
beyond a stretch of unfenced dunes. The access is at the Corton end,
opposite a large free car park. This is the only car park in the area.
The path down is surfaced and signposted "Footpath to beach". At the
beach, unless you feel able to walk down the sea wall, go down the
steps, turn left and walk 70 metres along the beach to the second
groin. It is signposted as the naturist beach, and the official area
extends for a further 200-300 metres. Access is one of the easiest to a
naturist beach in the UK, and it is a popular spot with naturists.
New Beach : Holkham Beach, Norfolk.
To reach the naturist section, turn off the A149 to the west of Wells
next the Sea, opposite Holkham Hall, and park in Lady Ann Road. At the
beach, turn left (west) and walk for about one mile until you reach the
signs indicating the naturist area. The dunes are not part of the
naturist area.
New Beach : Cleats Shore, Lagg, Isle of Arran.
The beautiful Isle of Arran has an official naturist beach just near
Lagg on the southern end. From Lagg, head along the road to the west
until you reach a sign pointing down a driveable track towards Cleat's
Shore. Follow the track, closing gates behind you, right up until you
reach the beach. Cars can be parked here, next to the naturist section.
The beach is sandy with some shingle, and rather isolated.
Question : ?
ive been to arran before - never been to cleats beach - whens the best
time to go?

Question : How come you don't just link to...
How come you don't just link to http://www.british-naturism.org.uk/
instead of just ripping it off? -We get our information from various
websites, magazines and users comments. If we do have info from a site,
then we always ensure we link to it. The reason we list the beaches
individually is so that our users can update the listing with their
information, if we simply had a link to a load of naturism sites, we'd
just be a link list and not a resource. Hopefully as time goes by,
there will be more information about these beaches on Melanies -Mel.

Update : Fairlight access
I made my first visit there on Monday (24/5) which was my first visit
to any naturist beach! The signs all seem to have been removed so it
would need a bit more in the directions. Tho' I was able to make the
right guesses that got me to the beach.

Update : Morfa Dyffryn
paid a visit to this naturist beach on 27,28/06/04 and i must say what
an absolute teriffic place really great suntrap good clean sand AND
WARM SEA!. there was quite a strong breeze blowing inland but that was
my only grudge. both days quite busy many couples infront of the dunes
at the start of the naturist section. further north up the beach and up
in the dunes were plenty of single gay men, the naturist section is big
enough for all parties. everyone i passed returned my hellos and
goodmornings, 1 guy told me he had been going there for 25 years and
said many new visitors had heard about it thru the internet. i most
certainly recommend this beach to everyone there was even couples
enjoying wind and water sports, FANTASTIC!.. 9 1/2 out of 10

Update : Holkham Beach. Better directions
Holkham beach A149 popular car park on the sea side of cross roads.You
have to pay and keep your eye on closing times.every one goes staight
ahead but there is a track to the left, follow this for about a
mile.You will pass some lakes to your left and some houses. The track
then turns seawards and splits. There are no signposts but take the
right fork and you start going through the forested parts of the dunes.
At the sea, the naturist bit is to the left and signposted. No beach
goers normally but horses. Good beach and safe bathing
