Downderry

The series of three coves east of Downderry village are generally clothed, straight nudist, and gay nudist,respectively. The sheer geographical isolation makes prevents anti-nudity hassles. The third cove whose visitors are mostly gay has a lovely sandy beach and spectacular scenery. Be aware of tide times as you can get stranded by high tide. There is a an escape up the embankment, but you must be very fit.

Best time
Warm summer days at LOW tide.
Crowd
Some straight, many gays, all very fit.
Watch out
Be aware of tide times.
