See here for a visit review A section of Corton beach 2 miles north of Lowestoft. Officially designated in 1979
Beach is clearly marked with Signs.
Update : From Shake : June 2012 It is no longer "clearly marked with signs" and hasn't been now for several years, as the need for a 'clothing-optional' part of the beach became redundant in 2009.
Before the de-designation the nudist bit was just north of Tramps Alley (an unmarked walkway down from Corton Lane to the beach, opposite the putting range and (also unsigned) free carpark) and that remains the stretch where naturists gather today.
Agree with the post ?:

Was on holiday in Yarmouth
Was on holiday in Yarmouth two weeks ago and visited Corton beach on the Thursday , beach is not the best but about 30 naturists were enjoying the nice weather.

when i was there i only saw the odd dog walker going past but a few fishermen were present just on the textile side but they were alright.
Like a lot of other people I
Like a lot of other people I thought Corton Beach was closed to naturists but after a message from a kind person on ITB I now know that this isn't true. So last Saturday, for the first time in years, I decided to re-visit the place where I first experienced public nudity. It may not be the prettiest of beaches but on a hot sunny day it was great to be back. When I was last there the area of the beach designated for naturists was small but now there are no signs dictating where you can be unclothed so the 30/35 people visiting on Saturday were spread over quite a big stretch. There is a nice atmosphere and hopefully I will be able to return very soon
Sounds like somewhere to
Sounds like somewhere to visit and hope the sun is shining on next days off,so i can visit and enjoy naked day on the beach and swim . Looking forward meeting new people .
Hope this helps anyone going

I finally got there yesterday (20/06/2017), even at the last minute it was an on-off thing as I was seriously worried it would be TOO hot. (Not something you can say often in this country.)
But it was overcast as the train approached Lowestoft, so my amended plans to go there, then Great Yarmouth, then dawdle my way home were amended once again with the idea that if I found my way to the beach and didn't like it I wouldn't be tempted again.
Once I'd been told that the bus doesn't go from the bus stop next to the station, and found that the bus station isn't well signposted (cut through the tiny shopping arcade and turn right), I found that bus drivers don't have a clue where Tramps Alley is, but luckily there'd been mention of Tesco at Pleasurewood Hills so I got off there (£3 return fare, about 12 minutes going, 15 back) and went to Google maps . Really simple walk, basically a straight line from the bus stop as if you're going to the amusement park, then there's a signposted footpath to 'The Beach 1/2 mile' (could do with the nettles and brambles cutting back) which leads past the golf course to the main road. Straight across, there's Tramps alley, going downhill at a reasonable slope, and there's the beach.
First thought? It's a beach. That simple. Sand, pebbles, etc. No facilities but thats not unusual. I turned left and set off, pebbles in my shoes within seconds. Only thing different was that there were more paragliders and hang-gliders around than sea gulls.
Probably 400 yards and my first nude, guy on his own. About 100 yards further I could see another single guy, so I decided to go closer to the sea wall between them. Weather still cloudy but coated myself with factor 15 (and renewed as needed) and sunbathed face up (partly because I couldn't spray all my back, and partly because I imagine it might be uncomfortable lying face down.
The guy that had been further on dressed and left quite soon after, couldn't see the first guy as there was a mound of dirt and grass between us but later on he walked down to the sea AND INTO IT. Don't care how hot it is, the sea is always cold, not my idea of fun at all.
In total I suppose I was there about 2 1/2 hours, very quiet, few single guys walked past, couple of guys together, and a m/f couple, none of whom seemed bothered by my nudity.
While there I'd seen people walking along the seawall (behind me as I lay there) so tried that as I left, lot easier than trudging through the pebbles, but Tramps Alley seemed a lot steeper going up.
All in all, for me it's a lot easier to get too than Holkham even having to catch 3 trains (biggest change was 25 minutes at Norwich going out), journey from home to Lowestoft being 3hr 20. With a good connection I could be on the beach in just over 4 hours which compares to a journey to Holkham.

At last night's Club Naturel
At last night's Club Naturel get-together and swim there was talk of having a New Year's Day skinny dip at Corton next year............but the general concensus was for favouring doing it in a heated outdoor pool instead........
do both :-)

Yeah, stayed in the Warners
Yeah, stayed in the Warners camp. You are able to walk down from there using, "to the beach" signs. Spent about an hour there and was invited to join the group that had noticed my intentions to strip off. Even had one of the obliging ladies rub sun cream oil over my back. Only downside, on occasions young children were throwing stones down towards us from the cliffs. Overall an enjoyable visit.

Yes we went to Corton on
Yes we went to Corton on holiday in Norfolk last year. We were on a long nude coastal walk and was aware Corton may have other nudists and we were pleased to find a small group and stopped to chat for a while before continuing our walk. Beautiful stretch of coastline too.
I found that bus drivers don
I found that bus drivers don't have a clue where Tramps Alley is, but luckily there'd been mention of Tesco at Pleasurewood Hills so I got off there----------------------------------------2 option would be (no 1 bus great yarmouth-Martham) cary on to corton vilige on then get off at warners holiday center and walk back (south) through the wooded lane just as you emerge turn left down the slope. Then turn left now heading north.for a leisurly walk back you can walk south along the beach takes about 30 minutes.

What3Words is handy if anyone
What3Words is handy if anyone wants to locate access to this beach. ///baker.label.cattle takes you to the point on the road where you have the car park one side and Tramps Alley (a tarmac footpath) sloping down through the wooded area to the beach. Turn left, walk 150-200m. You're there! Think there's a bus stop nearby too. enjoy.
