There is a district council dog ban in force on this beach between Easter and 1 October.
We welcome your comments on the beach for inclusion on this page. Visitors' comments follow;
"My family and I discovered it on the last day of our holiday last July. I am the only naturist in the family but we all loved the beach, which was almost deserted on a gloriously sunny day.We went there because we believed we could take our dog, as other people did.Are they only allowed on the dunes? It is ideal for naturism, and must be in the council's interest to promote naked tourism,since hardly anybody else is using it!Anyway we'll give it another try this year.Best wishes." - David
"Porthkidney Beach is quite discreet when situated at the cliff face with a windbreak, (stay close to the cliff itself) or use the dunes." - IanT.
"Porthkidney beach is an ideal beach for naturist vast stretches of sand which is very clean as well as the water. the dunes is also ideal but we did come across a couple of families who was shocked by us being naked so I recommend that the beach with a wind break would be the safe bet without upsetting anyone" - Nigel
"…I live locally, and the beach is NOT an official naturist beach. The beach and dunes are patrolled by Police and Local council members, and also very popular with Dog walkers. You still get a few male naturists in the dunes, but I would suggest that a towel is kept handy to make a quick cover up if anyone comes along.
As a naturist myself, I would not like to think that a fellow naturist could be mislead into thinking it was quite safe to go naked, when it is not.
Hope this may clear any misconceptions about the beach." - Brian
