Brighton Naturist Beach

Brighton Naturist Beach is a listed naturist beach section near Brighton Marina with open public access and no gate controlling entry. There is no admission fee expected for access to the shingle shore, and visitors come and go freely during daylight. Visits are most practical in daylight during the warmer months, especially June to August, when conditions are warmest and use of the section is busiest. Late morning to afternoon generally offers the strongest sun and the warmer part of the day, which suits sunbathing and a short swim when the weather allows. Outside summer, expect cooler air, stronger wind and a quieter shore, so shorter visits are more comfortable. The shore is shingle with cool sea water, with shingle entry into the water and variable waves depending on conditions. The setting is open and exposed along the seafront, with strong sun on clear days and little natural shade through the day. Sun protection is therefore useful, and some form of wind shelter can make a stay on the open shingle more comfortable. There are no food outlets, toilets or showers on the naturist section itself. Visitors should bring water and supplies for the duration of the stay, with the nearest facilities around the Brighton Marina area before or after the beach visit. Parking is available around the Marina area with an onward walk to the beach along the seafront. Buses serve the Marina area, followed by a walk along the seafront to reach the signed section. The shingle surface is uneven underfoot, so step-free access is limited and movement across the beach can take care. Dedicated lifeguard cover is not assured on the section, so swim with care and stay within comfortable limits. Dog restrictions may apply in the summer season, so check local signs before bringing dogs. Visits often last a few hours for sunbathing and swimming in suitable weather.
