Although unofficially a mixed nudist beach, it is well frequented and yet private and discreet for the shy and retiring at off-peak times, though the wind can be strong on unsettled days.

Located behind Shoreham docks, once one of the UK’s busiest ports, it remains private property and so visitors should beware of all the strict parking restrictions here. There is some designated parking beyond the walled area that shields the beach from the roadside.

An occasional travelling burger-bar is available to supply the lorry-drivers who park alongside the wall so be warned, bring plenty of water, sun-cream for those sensitive bits, and snacks as it’s a long walk to the nearest café. If you are bursting for a sunny-side up breakfast, ride or drive westwards to the end of the road and find a seaside café that is big on good food and famous for its hearty breakfasts. The police patrol regularly to keep the area safe.

Additonal Note: This naturist beach is in Portslade, access is via West Hove but locals all seem to call it Shoreham. There is a high wall that separates the beach from the commercial port of Shoreham Harbour. Nevertheless, many locals who use it, and a world away from Brighton's main town centre naturist beach by the marina.
