Simon recently took a late-summer trip to the Euronat naturist resort on the Atlantic coast of France. In this trip report he includes useful details of the journey and his impressions of the resort itself.

A new information leaflet produced by the Studland Beach Users Action Group includes a section devoted to the "official" naturist beach and emphasises the continuing efforts by local naturists to curb anti-social behaviour - particularly dogging, swingers, voyeurism and other inappropriate sexual activity.

Thanet District Council has lifted threats to prosecute nude bathers at Foreness Point beach, Botany Bay, pending a meeting with local naturists. Signs which claimed that naturists would be prosecuted have not been replaced following their removal by vandals.

"Reports are coming In" - as they say on 24-hour news programmes - that Police have once again been active at Fraisthorpe Sands on the Yorkshire Coast, taking names and threatening naturists with prosecution if they are found on the beach in future.

This long-established, formerly official naturist beach has in recent years become the scene of attempts by East Riding of Yorkshire Council to drive away law-abiding naturists - apparently because they believe this to be the best way to solve a problem with the indecent behaviour of certain people who are clearly NOT naturists.
