The weather was amazing on monday, the sun was out and it was warm with not a breath of wind. What could we do, but skip the work for the day and go for a walk. Naked of course – it was just warm enough for the first naked walk of 2014!
Andi and I went to one of our favourite beaches, Sker Beach near Port Talbot. This is an amazing place to get naked and walk, or just enjoy the wide open beach.
We parked up at the Kenfig nature reserve and walked down through the dunes to the beach. Its easy to find the beach, just head off from the car park towards the sea and follow one of the many paths, although it is a good 15 – 20 minute walk. If the car park is quiet (which it was on monday – only about 4 cars), we usually get naked a few minutes walk away from the car park, and try to pick a less well used path, and head down to the beach.
Once we got to the beach we turned right (west) and walked a couple of hundred meters before finding a spot at the top of the beach to stash our bags and clothes and use as “our spot”. The tide was about halfway out (or in) so we walked down to dip our toes in the water, which was freezing, and walked back up. We sat in the sun for a while, then decided it was just warm enough to have a walk along the beach naked.
We walked west near the top of the beach and kept going past the point that the stream crosses the beach, then almost to the start of the industrial area up at the top of the next beach. It is possible to walk all the way along in front of the industrial area (which we have done in the past), but we didn’t want to go too far this time. We turned back and returned along the water edge to our stash point.
The beach was almost empty all the time we were there, we passed one solitary male dog walker on the return leg of our walk at the waters edge, and a couple (M+F) walked past us when we were sitting at our stash point. Other than them, and the couple of fishermen down at the eastern end of the beach we saw no one in several hours. All in all it was a great start to our naked walking year.
This is a fantastic easy walk which is always pretty quiet and great for those who don’t feel comfortable walking naked in the more sketchy and publicly exposed locations that we have mentioned in the blog. One of the great things is that once on the beach you can lose your shoes too, and walk the full length of the beach totally naked and un encumbered. Perfect…
