Studland Beach (Knoll)
The UK's most famous naturist beach — a beautiful stretch of National Trust dune-backed sand on the Dorset Jurassic Coast.
Family-friendly LGBTQ+ friendly $
Studland Beach (specifically the Knoll Beach naturist section) is the UK's most-visited and most-loved clothing-optional beach. Maintained by the National Trust, the wide sand beach is backed by dunes and heath, with full facilities (parking, café, lifeguards in season) at Knoll. A ferry from Sandbanks brings Bournemouth and Poole visitors directly. Family-friendly, well-organised, and a longstanding fixture of UK naturism.
