So we are off to Cornwall soon (Newquay/Crantock/Perranporth) are there any naturist beaches in that region that anyone would recommend.
Seen Penhale Sands recommended but feels like that’s on the coastal path from Holywell Bay and a bit open to give a shock to clothed people  |

The two main ones that I'm aware of in Cornwall are Downderry in S E Cornwall and Vault Beach near Gorran Haven. Vault is my regular haunt, it's about 40 mins drive from Newquay. There is an area at the far northern edge of Perranporth beach which I guess would be Penhale Sands but never tried there. It's quite open and exposed to the prevailing westerly winds so that puts me off getting naked there. If you like to play on the beach, people do often play on Vault (and Downderry too for that matter). There are also a few nudist beaches in West Cornwall but the drive across to Vault from Newquay is much easier during the summer (you cut across the general east/west west/east flow of traffic). Let me know if you need directions. Have a great holiday. |

Thanks for that.
Had planned to many travel round by bus when down there. The bus pass is such good value and trying to be eco and relieve the strain on the roads for locals.

"Vault is a great beach but there aren’t any amenities, so take plenty of food and drink. I’m hoping to get down there with my girlfriend later this week if the weather holds up. "
Good point P. Definitely take enough stuff to see you through the day! Friday and Sunday not looking too bad. Hopefully I'll see you down there again on your next visit. |

The kind of tourist that's always welcome down here 😁. Not sure exactly where you're staying but it's walkable from Gorran Haven. The buses between Newquay and St Austell certainly run regularly and until well into the evening. There is a bus from St Austell to Gorran Haven but not sure how regular it is and when the last ones run |
