Life's a Beach, Weather Permitting

British Naturism held an open day on Brighton Nudist Beach, but efforts to attract new members failed due to the strong winds and driving rain.

"In this country naturism still suffers from the perception of being a bit weird and a bit strange.

"Naturists aren’t exhibitionists, we’re very respectful and it is a very sociable activity.

"People should understand that taking off your clothes is not only OK but good for us as human beings.

"Not everyone understands it but it can solve a lot of issues, like body image for example. People realise there is no such thing as the perfect body.

"It is nice to feel the sun and the breeze on your skin, it’s perfectly natural."
