'Studland Beach - Dorset
Studland beach is located on the north-eastern tip of the part of Dorset known as the 'Isle of Purbeck', separated from Bournemouth by the entrance to Poole harbour. Easily the best-known naturist beach in the UK, it has also been voted the sixth-best beach in Britain.

The estate which owns the beach and surrounding heathland nature reserve was privately owned but has now passed into the hands of the National Trust. Studland is, for most of its length, a traditional textile beach. However, naturists have traditionally used the northernmost part, together with the nearby dunes. In recent years there has been some friction between some naturists and the NT because the latter has placed restrictions on the area used by naturists. On the positive side, nude use of the part of the beach is now "offically" sanctioned by the Trust.

This is a very popular beach and, on a busy day, this would not be the best choice for those seeking solitude. The beach, which faces south-east, consists of sand, with dunes and heath to the rear.

National Trust-employed wardens patrol regularly and will move naked people who stray outside the nude area (marked by posts). The beach is regularly cleaned. Behind the nude section the dunes are increasingly used by gays the further you get from the sea towards the wooded area fronting the nature reserve.

Because of the ferry and the propensity of bored adults in families to go for a long walk, the nudist section gets a lot of passers by. However they stick to the area immediately in front of the waves and don't interfere.'

The beach is an official British Naturism location visit link and a very popular area. The golden sand and calm blue sea makes a perfect day out for relaxing in the sun and the locals will look after you. There is an ever continuing effort to keep the perverts out and let naturism be free and safe.
