Portstewart Strand to host British Naturism's 'au naturel sunbathing'
Following the success of the ‘Great British Skinny Dip’ at Portstewart Strand last year, British Naturism is to host an afternoon of ‘au naturel sunbathing’ on the same beach.
‘Summer Sunbathing with British Naturism’ takes place on Sunday, August 16 from 11am-3pm.
A post on the National Trust Portstewart Strand Facebook page said: “Kick off the summer (and your shorts) with an afternoon of 'au naturel' sunbathing at Portstewart Strand.
"Following the success of the 'Great British Skinny Dip', British Naturism will continue this season in style by hosting some naturist bathing at our inclusive beach.
"No need to jet off to some far-off lands to enjoy the sea breeze on your skin or experience the exhilaration of swimming without a cossie in the ocean, this is your chance to do it right here on the north coast.”
The event will take place in a dedicated and clearly marked area beyond Post 11.
The post continued: “We ask both naturists and non-naturists to respect the rights of others and refrain from behaviour likely to cause offence.
"Naturism is a lawful activity however we expect all participants to follow British Naturism's beach code.
"We want everyone to feel safe at Portstewart Strand and indecent behaviour will not be tolerated. Lifeguards will be on duty.”
