Naturist beach-users at Studland Beach in Dorset are working in partnership with Police, the National Trust, and Purbeck District Council to clamp down on offensive and illegal sexual behaviour which is ruining their enjoyment of the beach.

Naturists from Studland United Nudists, Castaways, and British Naturism  encourage all naturists to report any sexual activity they see on the beach or in the dunes .

Eastney Neighbourhood Forum is holding a meeting on Thursday 23 Nov 2006 to discuss, among other items, the naturist use of Eastney beach which may be threatened by development plans:

Not long after British naturists fought off one threat from Government legislation, along comes another.

The Queen's Speech setting out the programme for the new session of Parliament includes a bill which could seriously effect any naturists who use 'traditional' nude beaches around the coast of England.

The website of Australia's ABC Radio National has an excellent half-hour programme about naturists available to download.

'Swimming with Nudists' was broadcast on 22 October 2006 in a series called 'Street Stories' and consists of australian nudists simply talking about why they like swimming and sunning without clothes. No agendas from the programmes makers and no nudging and winking, very refreshing and well-worth a listen.

It's available as a streaming 'Real Audio' file or as an '.mp3' file to download from here.
