Visit Brighton says the naturist beach is at the eastern end of the main beach, about a mile east of the Palace Pier, and is signposted.
Marina by bus
Brighton Marina is a short bus ride from the town centre, according to Visit Brighton, if you do not want to walk the seafront.
Use los autobuses
Visit Brighton says most areas of the city are within a 15-minute bus ride of the centre and the beach, and every bus has disabled access.
