Lockdown restrictions are easing and the weather will soon warm up, so in the spirit of feeling free you may want to get it all out on a nudist beach.

But which coastal locations are the best for those wanting to show off their beach bums and buns?


Two Cornish beaches and two from Devon feature in the Top 10.

1. Brighton Beach, East Sussex



2. Lower Largo Beach, Fife


3. Leysdown Naturist Beach, Kent


4. Budleigh Salterton, Devon


5. Yaverland Beach, Isle of Wight


6. Slapton Sands, Devon


7. Perran Sands, Cornwall

Perran Sands, or Perranporth as most people know it, is one of Cornwall's most popular, sandy, nudist beaches. Naturists use the less busy far north end of the beach where experienced surfers also enjoy the waves. A short walk across the sand and you can enjoy a pint and bite to eat at the Watering Hole bar, but cover up as no one wants your rattlers in their Rattler.

8. Porthkidney Beach, Cornwall

Another beach where you can comfortably strip off and sunbathe in Cornwall is Porthkidney on the north coast near Hayle. This large, sandy beach, which stretches for about a mile long, is just two miles from St Ives and is perfect for nudists who are still a little shy as many use the secluded enclaves in the sand dunes for privacy. You never know, Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel may decide to disrobe on Porthkidney when they visit the area for the G7 Summit next month.

9. Studland Beach, Dorset

Studland Bay Beach in Dorset is one of the best known official nudist beaches in Britain, with a naturist history going back as far as the 1920s. The nude section is in the middle of the 3-mile long sandy beach and spans across 900m. With no shady spots, this area of the beach is completely out in the open for you to bare all and achieve the perfect full-body tan. The nearest beach kiosks and toilets are a mile or so to the south in Studland village.

10. Fairlight Glen Beach, East Sussex
