I wish I had an experience like you Paul. I stopped by this afternoon. By the time I got to the beach (which was a really difficult ramble by all accounts), it was 5pm and the beach pretty much deserted. I thought with the fine weather and the rain coming, it may have been busy with naturists making the most of the last beautiful evening for a while. I stripped off half way along the beach and stopped a way short of the final dunes before the river due to 2 groups of textiles that had set up base there (including children). I hovered by another dune for 30mins or so and didn’t see any activity. I did enjoy a naked walk most of the way back to the carpark though as it was so quiet, I didn’t pass a soul. Wish I could have met some like-minded individuals but not to be this time

First time visiting today. Only saw textiles at first but very quiet. Once half way along to the river hardly anyone about. I stripped off, hid my bag in the dunes and walked along the shoreline as it was low tide.

Only people I saw on way down to the river were textiles, but they were all friendly. Slightly awkward passing a group of young women who were wading in the sea. They seemed a bit taken aback at first, but one of them said she wished she was that brave as I passed so I guess they weren't that bothered.

Crossed the river and sunbathed naked for a few hours where the beach meets the pebbles. On the walk back was a bit more daring, walking along the top of the beach. Saw more people naked up on the edge of dunes on way back, mostly men but some older couples. Was great to see the textiles weren't bothered by me or them.

On way back I bumped into the 3 women from earlier, 2 of them were topless, and one chatted as I walked past, asking if I walked all the way and where were my clothes. Explained I hid them and we chatted for maybe 10 minutes before I carried on to get my stuff.

All in all a really great day and positive experience, will definitely go again.

Where are all the nudists (naturists)?

Was I in the right place?

I went a few days ago. Great beach, but no naturists, just maybe 20 textiles, plus horses and fishermen during the two hours I was there.

I entered the beach from the nature reserve, and walked 10 to 15 minutes north to the wooden wreck of the Altmark (there's another wreck right at the north end of the beach). I then walked further north towards the steelworks for about 30 minutes. I didn't see any naturists.

During the walk back it got very quiet and since I could only see a couple of people fishing, I had my first naturist sunbathe for five minutes. I was a little worried that someone would pop out from the dunes or come along the beach so I dressed because I didn't want to offend or upset anyone.

If there had been other naturists to prove I was in the right spot, I would have stayed longer (but alone).

I then walked back to the south end of the beach and back through the nature reserve.

Was I in the right spot? And is there a route that isn't through the nature reserve? The nature reserve required long trousers which aren't easy to get back on in a hurry with damp feet, I've realised?

I would love to try this beach as the closest to me is Marros Sands, which is very difficult to get to and I have never seen another nude beach goer down there. From what I have read, the shortest walk seems to be from the Kenfig Burrows Nature Reserve car park, which seems to be a long way from the nude safe end of the beach. Does anyone have any advice on how best to access the beach, with the shortest walking distance? I’d be very grateful as looking to visit next sunny spell. Thanks, Jon

Great, stripped off just past Kenfig Castle, put clothes on back pack. Wear good walking footwear as there are a lot of low brambles on the ground.
Walked down to the beach and then walked along as far as the river before returning to the path that is the remains of the old road built to develop the deep water harbour.
Returned to the point where I arrived on the road then back into the reserve proper, and back to the castle.
Had a brief chat with a guy on his way to the beach and saw several other non textile visitors on the beach and in the dunes but generally the area is very quiet.
All you need is a decent sunny day!

Lovely sunny day at sker beach today. It's been two years since Tina, Marie an I were here last. A lot of people about which you don't normally see down here. We walked down to the waters edge and started walking in the direction of Port Talbot. After a short walk we stripped off to ours shorts and put our cloths in to our back packs and continued our walk along the shore line. Both Tina and Marie were topless. People we meet along the we're very friendly. Eventually we reached the part of the beach where we feel most comfortable, we could tell by seeing other naked beach users. We settled down on the beach just in front of the sandunes and put or shorts with the rest of our cloths. After some sun bathing, we walked down to the sea for a dip and cooled off. We swam and chatted for a while with a nice young couple, who we would love to meet up with again soon, they were great fun. When we came out of the sea, we had no towels to dry with. So we went for a good walk along the beach and in to the sandunes. All in all we had a good day and loved most of the other people we meet. Special thanks to Colin, Toby, Harry and Lisa for playing.

Love this beach so much. Go there as often as poossible in the warmer weather with my wife and sometimes our good friend Marian. We usually stash all of our clothes and belongings up in the scrub/bushes near the pond and walk naked down through the dunes and then onto the beach. We usually walk the full lengh of the beach, if we have time we walk past the river outlet and as far along Morfa beach as we can. Sometimes we have the beach to ourselves, some days in the summer at weekends it is a bit busier, but that is a relative term as its such a big beach. Sometimes we see some other naturists, usually pass a number of textiles but they pretty much ignore us. Its an amazing beach, the perfect place to walk and swim naked, and we all love being naked and 45 - 60 mins walk away from our clothes stash. Beautiful location.

I have visited Sker on many occasions including today- 9/9/23
It was foggy but very humid, as such it reduced the numbers, but for the better.
It tends to be a male dominated domain, but today there were many more couples, all of whom were happy to pass the time of day. What was pleasing were the number of younger couples throwing off their inhibitions.
I use my mountain bike to get to and from the beach- the long way round NOT through the Bridleways. It is far quicker, even when the sandy paths mean I have to dismount and push.
If you use the Nature Reserve Car Parks it costs £2-£4 now but well worth it

First time going nude at a beach and felt so liberating, amazing, cant wait to go again, there were a few couples but mainly singles. Beautiful long golden beach which I walked from the river to the lifeguard hut with just my rucksack on trying to be a little more discreet when passing textile beach users but had no problems what so ever, amazing day, amazing place

This is one of my favourite beaches for nude bathing and swimming.
I've walked virtually the full length nude with my dog and provided your considerate to the occasional textile you might meet never had a problem.

Recently discovered this beach and loved how huge and quiet it is. Went a little way down but would go further next time. Was my first experience going nude and I loved it. Saw one other person walking around nude which helped give me the confidence to do it!

First time going nude on a beach and it was so exhilarating. Fairly quiet so it was an easy break in. A few walkers, people fishing and they didn't bat an eyelid. Walked most of the way down the beach with just my rucksack on and I felt so alive. Will definitely be visiting again.

Really enjoyed my visit to Sker Beach today, i walked from Sker Point to the river and back in just my walking boots. One textile guy came past on his bike but aparr from that, i was all alone untill i got bsck to Sker point where there were some surfers. Well worth the initial walk to the beach

This was the first time I have ever tried going nude in public and I absolutely loved it.
The beach was extremely quiet apart from a few dog walkers.
I am going again this Friday if anyone is interested?

Beautiful and was very busy I found more people in the dunes opposite the sinking ship and some in little self made huts on the way to the sinking ship mixed amount of people and clearly very popular directions So you arrive to the car park and you walk down past the building follow the path for 5minutes then you come to point 5 where you can cut right through the grass for 10 min and come out by point 10 continue walking for 5min and you to the “cross paths” turn right towards the steel works down the track for 15minutes past point 15 and you will see a gate with a sign “sheepshading “advertisement on it continue to the next gate and bang your in the centre of it walk to the beach and get nude. There were about 40 people in total 3men to 1woman few couples. It’s clear the nudists are towards the top and I had an eye opener further towards the steel works in the dunes but all eventful and nice people. I would say the walk takes 35min take plenty of water on a nice day.

Quite a walk from the car park at the nature reserve, but it was worth it. We turned right when we reached the lifeguard hut and walked about a mile along the beach in line with the pebble ridge.
There were quite a few couples and single men there, all unclothed and it was so nice to lie in the sun.
Unfortunately we got lost walking back to the car park through the dunes, so it took us a while.

Had a relaxing couple of hours here yesterday.only a few people there and only less than ten walking on the beach
