Checking out Hengistbury beach near Christchurch and Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

Lots of pebbles and rocks but some nice sandy parts, too.

Locations for naturism a bit limited but I found this nice little cove on the far side of the rocks.

Lovely start to the weekend

Birling gap beach set to reopen this Friday, slightly ahead of schedule. Bit of good news.

Whilst we all hope to have a safe, clothes-free holiday, we are all susceptible to the odd mishap from a mozzie bite to scrapes to sunburn.

Make sure you top up your First Aid essentials before you head off. We have a few items for sale at rock-bottom prices.

Midweek repot from the beaches at South Fuerteventura.

Showers in the morning but brightening up each day and I've managed to get to beaches East and West. Strong winds make it feel chillier.

Hoping to get to Sotavento and beyond from Costa Calma today. More pics to follow.

Beach of the week:
Playa de Sotavento (de Jandia)

This is a fabulous beach in the SE corner of Fuerteventura.

A massive sandy beach with fish-filled lagoons. There is plenty of space for everyone to co-exist - naturist, clothed, kite surfers.

As someone relatively new to Social Nudity, isn't it strange that the longer you spend nude, the more you resent having to get dressed afterwards?

Walked to a beach today. 1 hour naked walk, two hours there, 1 hour back but had to cover up for the last 10 minutes. Gutted.

There are worse ways to start a Wednesday. Sun is shining and one or more of Fuerteventura's beaches is calling today.

Staying at @bhhnaturistresort.bsky.social in Costa Calma and very nice it is, too.

From The Times: "National Trust closes Cornish beach voted one of world’s best".

Pedn Vounder beach has been closed for safety reasons.

"Closed is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration. "Proceed at your own Risk" according to the sign.

It is a fantastic long sandy beach facing the Firth of Forth.
