How about compiling a list of beaches that people with limited mobility can access. we're sure there must be many nudist's that would find this helpful.
We know some of you must have visited beaches in this country, how was the access to them?
We can start by saying that St. Osyths is not an easy access beach as its now about a mile walk each way over rough terrain.
Your turn now.

I would say that most naturist beaches are a long walk from Car Parks. Even Studland and Morfa Duffryn are 10-15mins walk in sand etc.
My Local beach is a good 15mins walk in south wales. I would say that unless official most naturist beaches I have been to,do not have good access. If they did they would be swamped by textiles.

I can only say that Birling Gap is a non starter and pebbles being as they are could be a major issue. I suppose it depends on the disability?

Apart from Studalnd our only experience is in France, at Cap de Agde you can drive almost up to the beach, from there, there is a boardwalk to the shore line making wheelchair access right to the shore possible, a little further south is Valras Plage, you can drive your car onto the beach here, but care is neede to stay on the compacted sand, otherwise you sink, as we did ! further along near St Tropez, Pampellone beach has several spots where you can park very close to the beach too, as you can at nearby Londe.

Now on Naturist-Corner as hector
theres one on the costa del sol that isnt too bad, (amalat ? ) leave Torre del Mar on the coast road towards Malaga, cross the river outside torre and there is a lane on the left to a nudist campsite on the coast. it costs 3 euro to use the campsite carpark, which has shaded parking spaces, leave everything except your towel and water bottle in the car, the beach is at the end of the carpark. the campsite cafe opens onto the beach and doesnt allow clothes.... we were there in september, one of my brother in law's lives in a village the other side of Torre del Mar so we havnt tried the campsite itself.
whilst we were there the majority of beach users appeared to be spanish, even family groups from nappies to grandparents and there didnt seem to be the constant trickle of textiles walking by for an eyeful which you seem to get on alot of other well known naturist beaches. . were hoping to get there again in early summer

My attitude is that if they can get their kicks from looking at naked bathers then they are even sadder than I am.

yeah , if the sight of my butt is the high point of their lives , let them dream on . but the other half finds them a bit off putting. shes definatly more relaxed on a quieter beach . l
last time we were on menorca we used a beach on cape cavalera on the north coast, its in the middle of nowhere, theres a car park and rudimentary toilets apparrenently in the middle of nowhere, but the path out the back of the car park goes up a steep slope and down the otherside onto a large beach, its only a couple of hundred yards from the car park to the beach, we went a couple of days midweek in june , there were probably only half a dozen couples on a half mile long beach, ... its not an easy access but only a five minute walk if you're able bodied
we went to lanzarote in early jan , the first beach at papago is direct access off the carpark, just a 20 yard walk though the scrub to the beach, the beach along side the airport runway is a longer walk(5 Mins) along a good paved pathway from matagorda,
in the uk the "official" beaches tend to be long walks over difficult terrain... probably the best bet is exploring your local coastline mid week . find a dserted beach near a car park stick up a windbreak and hide behind it, its not illegal . even plonking a rucsack down at hip level on the carpark side will do if nothing else is available.
There is an easy access, well fairly level, beach in South Devon at Slapton Sands. This is a bit of a misnomer really, it is mostly shingle, unless you walk quite a way, but even so it is quite comfortable.
This is right next to one of the first official Naturist Beaches at Pilchards Cove, and is very well used.
There are no dunes, and therefore very few meerkats.

hello
if its easy access you want dont even think of fairlight cove near hastings not unless your a mountain goat but if your fit and up for it then its good excercise
they don't know what you do untill you dont do it

But it is a lovely country walk down the glen from the car park.

we have done fairlight cove in the past, unfortunately no longer fit enough to make the hike!
Can't really help you on easy access I'm afraid, but i did see one guy who had an excellent idea:
Relaxing at Morfa dyffryn, nice sunny, slightly breezy day, Down the beach came a guy (at speed) on a buggy, being towed by a rather large kite! Genius!
I have since then got into this sport in a big way!
The easiest beach I have ever found is Eastney near Portsmouty.
There is a free car park and a very short footpath to the beach and as soon as you hit beach you are on the naturist beach. It is not large but very accessable and near to the car park.
