I was about 12 and went on a coach trip to Swanage. Not being very bright, I had it in my mind that Swanage beach was a naturist beach (confusing it with Studland) So I walked to the far end and stripped off. I had a few hours pleasant sunbathing and swimming, before a local told me that it was not in fact a naturist beach. By then I was HOOKED 🙂
Hi Kev loved that story.just shows that if youve got the courage you can strip off anywhere!
It's a fair old hike to the far end of the beach at Swanage and it's usually deserted. I've always maintained there's no need for clothes if there's no-one on the beach.
I have seen the police patrol this beach late on a summer evening, presumably to check for people sleeping out on the beach.
