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 .
Studland Beach-Users’ Action Group (SBUAG) is a sub-committee of the Purbeck Community Safety Action Group established under the Crime and Disorder Partnership for Dorset.
In a press release SBUAG have reassured naturists that the police, the parish council and the District Council recognise the difference between law-abiding naturists wanting to relax and enjoy the beach, and people who visit Studland because they wrongly assume that the presence of a naturist beach means that they can abuse the location by stripping off solely for sexual purposes.
One of the naturists attending the group, Tamara Essex from Dorset, said, “We want naturists to report obscene activities immediately, not just sit there feeling uncomfortable or deciding not to use Studland any more. It’s a fantastic beach and it’s time genuine naturists reclaimed it back from the pervs who hang around the beach and the dunes spoiling our day.”
Tamara emphasised that the police and the NT wardens had promised they would respond quickly to any calls, and that 2007 would see a stepping up of overt and covert police presence on the beach to stamp out crime on Studland Beach.
