Beach type
Sandy, Shingle, Pebbles
Hengistbury Head, near Bournemouth in Dorset is a lovely long sandy beach.
Head towards the part of the beach by the Headland Cliffs.
2026: The Captain visited here. The area is very busy with visitors and there was a School Geography visit whilst he was there so options generally are limited.
If you go to the Head itself, then just the other side is a small beach. It is hidden by the Head on one side and there is very little in the Christchurch direction. In addition it is away from the main path so people have to divert to get anywhere near it. The Captain spent a couple of hours here undisturbed despite the occasional passer-by.

Location
Getting there
There is a Tourist information point close by, along with a car park. Otherwise it's about a 2 hour walk from Bournemouth, less from Christchurch.
Naturist information
Little space for nudity, but if you make camp just to the East of the Head itself then that is tucked away and not visible from the West
