Swanbridge – Penarth

Walked what is fast becoming our favourite local walk with Marian a couple of days ago. We were out fairly early as the forecast was for a hot day, so we were parked up at Swanbridge by about 7.40am. We undressed on the beach, which was empty, and stashed our clothes in the rocks to the east of the beach and scrambled round the rocks towards St Marys Well bay. We took a bottle of water each as we were expecting it to be warm, but of course nothing else, we wanted as always to be 100% committed to being naked for the whole walk.

We walked round to the beach in front of the caravan park at St Marys Well bay, where a couple were walking a dog. The tide was about half way in, so we had to pass close to the textile dog wakers, but they more or less ignored us once they had a first gawp. So we walked on around to the next beach and headed towards Lavernock Point. Amazingly the wave cut beach was empty all the way to the point so we had a lovely quiet walk with no textiles to think about.

We walked round the point (always quite hard work because of the stones) till we could see the beach ahead stretching to Penarth. Again, amazingly the beach looked deserted and we kept walking. As we walked past the access point to the beach, a male dog walker came down onto the beach directly as we passed the access point. We were about 10m away from him, but he just ignored us so we kept going towards Penarth, although he started walking in the same direction as us, so had a great view of us from behind. I hope he appreciated Marians curves 🙂

After a few minutes I looked back and the dog walker had turned back, but a couple of runners were coming towards us along the beach, they were going quite slowly (as the beach is harder work than grass or a road) so it took a few more minutes for them to catch us up. The runners were a couple (M/F) and they jogged right past us about 2m away. The woman ignored us, but the man had a good look as he slowly passed us. Marian really enjoyed the long gawp he gave her, both her and Andi love it when the textiles have a good look at us (so do I).

As we approached the Penarth end of the beach, just past the end of the concrete sea wall, a single walker was coming towards us, as the figure got closer we could see that it was a single woman. We walked past her, about 2 meters away, and said hello, and she replied with a smile and looked us up and down then just kept going. We walked to the end of the concrete walkway and sat down within about 20m of a guy throwing sticks for his dog on the beach in front of us, he then walked off in the direction that we had come from.

After a few minutes resting, and a drink, we set off back along the beach. The dog walker had turned around and passed us on the way back towards Penarth, giving Marian a good look as he walked up to and past us, but didn’t say anything. About half way back along the beach we caught up with the lone female walker who had stopped and was sitting on the rocks at the top of the beach. This time she had a great long look at us as we walked up to and past her, she basically watched us as we approached and walked past and made good eye contact with us (sometimes people tend to avoid looking). Marian and I really enjoyed her looking at us, so much so that I got a bit of a rise as we approached and walked past – something else that we both love. We walked all the way back to lavernock point but didn’t pass anyone else.

We walked back around the point and back across the beach towards St Marys Well bay, the whole foreshore was deserted again, amazing on such a beautiful morning. We got back to St Marys Well Bay, and walked round onto the beach in front of the caravan park, to be greeted by a group of what looked like walkers sitting at the top of the beach near to the steep access path that comes down from the caravan park. Looked like about 8-12 people having a break from their costal path walk. We had to walk right past them, so they all had a good look at us, and we felt like we had some fantastic exposure. It felt amazing to be naked and have to walk past them.

We walked around the beach, back past Bull Rock and back across the rocky foreshore on to Swanbridge Bay to find a few people on the beach at the waters edge where some areas of sand are exposed at mid to low tide. We picked up our bag and clothes and fond a spot on the rocks at the eastern end of the beach where we sat down to rest and enjoy the sunshine. After about 15-20 mins in the sun, Marian walked down the beach to the sand to have a dip in the water to cool off, she walked (naked of course) down to the patches of sand where the other people were and just waded in to the water past them to have a swim. She told me that they looked amazed to see a naked woman going swimming, but as usual, didn’t really say anything! I genuinely believe that most people really couldn’t care if you are naked, and i suspect that many people would secretly love to go naked, but just dont have the nerve.

After Marian dried off we headed for hame, having had a fantastic naked morning out 🙂
