  • Lovely wild unofficial nudist beach with dunes

    5.00

    For years I have walked this beach naked. Even as the only woman, I have felt entirely safe here. It is a wild stretch of coast, over a mile from both Aberlady and Gullane, and well known among naturists. On a warm summer weekend, a few dozen sunseekers, mostly men, may be scattered along the dunes, while on a cool, grey day there may be only a handful, or no one at all.

    Pros: Although I was the only woman, the men sunbathing nearby behaved impeccably. There was lively banter and the odd bit of flirting, but nothing beyond what I would expect on a typical textile beach in a bikini.

    Cons: It would be lovely to see more women join us.
