Late May 2026 – I visited St Osyth Beach on a cloudy, albeit hot day. The beach is a mix of shingle and sand with a few bushes to the rear of the beach. If it was windy, I imagine it could be quite unpleasant without a wind-break.
The walk from the car park to the beach took about 15 mins. From the car park you walk west (to the right), walking next to the concrete wall and then using the steel staircase to access the beach. The naturist part of the beach is a few hundred metres beyond the staircase. The good news was that the car park was free.
When I visited there was only two other guys sunbathing naked, so I don’t know what it might be like other times.
