The 'idyllic' Yorkshire 'nudist beach' that people travel for miles to enjoy

Yorkshire is known for some stunning seaside towns, many with their own particular quirks. In North Yorkshire Whitby is regularly frequented by goths thanks to its Dracula connections, Saltburn has its own funicular railway and then along the coast you can find the beautiful beaches of Barnston and Withernsea in East Yorshire.

And while many of these have cafes and other attractions for tourists there is one which seems to have missed the commercialisation favoured by so many. Down a winding road and just two miles from Bridlington lies Fraisthorpe which is popular with families and dog walkers alike.

But travel back 30 years and this wasn't the case. For until the late 1990s the sands were deemed a designated nudist beach where people would flock to enjoy sunbathing, swimming and splashing in the waves without a stitch of clothing in sight.
