Naturists in southern England are concerned about the status of Eastney nude beach at Portsmouth in Hampshire.

Full details, including an item about the developer published in ‘Private Eye’ this week, are on the Eastney Naturist Beach Liaison Group campaign website. The local paper, the Portsmouth News recently reported on the concerns regarding continued use of the beach – add your own comments to the article to show support.
