"we have never actually been able to find it  . There's a naturist section at Norman's Bay and one at Birling Gap too "
This is a beautiful beach but a bit of a trek down....and then up again but worth it. Message us and I'll send a map, |

I live Fairlight Glen and though the walk there and back is quite long it's a part of the pleasure if the visit.
The last bit down to the beach can be a little slippery but fine if one is sensible. |

It’s a real trek down… took the bike once (never again)..
Lovely spot and it was nice to see it respectfully busy last time I went. Aiming to go again in a few weeks, let me know if anyone wants a piggy back up the hill…

I used to go there twenty five years ago -- there used to be a carpark and a café just before the hike down to the seafront.
Then, about ten years ago I went back and it was completely different -- the route was overgrown and derelict and I couldn't find my way to the track as it was so different.
Does this mean it's been restored / reopened?

"I’ve not been yet, but I’d love to.
I heard it was a long walk from the car park? "
What a stunning set of photographs, I’d love to as well. Not sure if the way from the car park though. When are you going? |

Was the original café on Barley Lane?
I vaguely remember two carparks, one by the café (now overgrown) and the other one on the opposite side of the road -- but it's been so long now my memory is a bit ropey.
It's a shame it wasn't maintained.

"If I understand correctly the pathway to the beach is actually on the other side of the road to the car park?"
That's correct. As you walk down you can take the left fork towards the old tea rooms and the overgrown path, or the right fork following the private road to a signpost on the left. Adds about 10 minutes to the walk, but the views over Hastings are very nice. |
