We are thinking of staying at Carlyon Bay camp site in Cornwall.
Does anybody know if it still has a naturist corner?
Also, what is the beach like and is part of it still naturist?

There has been a lot of changes in the area over the past few years and I need to get an update from somebody who has visited over the past 2 or 3 years.

This was a fabulous beach... but according to Wikipedia's page on Carlyon Bay, the building work is due to start in spring 2012. Which is now I guess. The plans for redevelopment have been stopped and started for decades but it sounds like they are finally going to do it. There is an active group of local residents who are monitoring things as well, so for the very latest news go to: http://www.carlyonbaywatch.com/

last time we were down there which wasnt too long ago the whole beach (whats left of it) is virtually unusable. the building work covers the whole of the beach and fencing from one end to the other blocks the majority of it, when we were there there was about 10 feet of available beach from the fence to the sea.
the naturist section has gone completely.
we spent many years down there as our children were growing up, now days its impossible to even sunbathe there!
