Hi
I am working in Newport on the Isle of Wight next week
Will be staying Monday & Tuesday nights
Would be great to get to a beach for a dip in the early evening
Any recommendations would be great thank you

Years ago Blackgang Chine was a naturist beach.  I do not know if it still is I do know the cliff collapsed and it might have been curtains for the beach.

.I was born naked, what's your excuse?

Blackgang is a great nudist beach if a bit of an hike to get to i visited in 2007.Culver beach near Sandown is another beach used by nudists and easier to get to. 🙂

Morning,,, both are still used, blackgang is a trek to get to but I think the nicer of the two.... Culver is easy access with a car park near by.....

Lovely stretch of beach at Rocken End (this may be the same beach as Blackgang) but it's a fair trek down a path which winds it way through some active coastal slopes. Access from the car park at the end of Sandrock Rd in Niton .  There's a good chance it'll be impassable at the bottom, as we've had a wet spring.
Anywhere on the south west coast will be fine as access is difficult. I walked east from the campsite at Grange Farm (Brighstone) for a quarter mile last summer , not a soul around.  You could walk naked all of the six miles to Rocken End ,  but would need careful consideration of tides to avoid getting stranded.

Another possibility is heading east from Yaverland near Shanklin.
