Car parking is available on the coast at Hill Head, which can be reached from the A27 via the B334 and Stubbington.

From Hill Head walk westwards along the beach (about 3/4 mile) until a section suitable for naturism is reached.

Description

"We make two or three visits here per year. There are never more than half a dozen others here, mainly single men, with a few couples."

"The beach is mainly shingle with the occasional patch of sand. The best swimming is at high tide as the beach then slopes reasonably, so you can fairly quickly get to a reasonable depth. At low tide, it is flat sand, and after 200 yards it gets to your knees! Like Calshot, on the other side of Southampton Water, it's a great place to watch the various boats going by - from small dinghies to huge cruise liners."

"The beach gets many walkers and a few horse riders but no-one seems to mind sensible sunbathing or swimming. There is a footpath above the beach, along the top of the cliffs. Though it is generally behind bushes, where there are gaps, the beach is overlooked and gawpers can be occasionally be a pain."

Selected Visitor Comments

May 29, 2007 - " I visited the Meon Shore beach last Friday. When I arrived there was a lady swimming in the sea and after I clambered down a steep path I was wondering if I had found the right beach as I had walked from a carpark across some fields. She saw me and then proceeded to get out of the water. I had found the right place... The beach is stoney but as previously mentioned here the water stays shallow and has a sandy bottom so it is rather nice to swim in."

August 01, 2007 - "I walked from Hill Head for about 40 minutes past the gardens of big houses and nearly to some beach chalets but there was no sign of any naturists. Plenty of sunbathers in bikinis but nothing less. Where has it gone?"

June 30, 2008 - "you needed to walk past the shalets, it's west of them"

August 07, 2008 - "I'm not sure that there is a 'right spot', it is unofficial after all. However I've found that if you continue in a north-westerly direction from Hill Head, until you reach some derelict pill boxes, beyond that it is reasonably quiet; and there have been other naturists about. I've not explored the more southerly end though. I was there today and the weather was fantastic..."

July 11, 2009 - "I went to Meon a couple of weeks ago when it was very sunny, went a discrete distance past chalets, and stripped off. there was no other naturists there at that time but a few walkers and a couple of horse riders passed by all greeted me with a good morning, and did not seem at all bothered that i was naked. had a good day on the beach and recommend it."
