Cleat’s Shore — Arran naturist beach
Lagg, Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, Scotland
A quiet official clothing-optional shore near Lagg, with sand, shingle and views toward Kintyre. The modest farm-track approach leads to an undeveloped mix of sand and rock, often with more wildlife than beachgoers.
Nudity policy
Clothing optional in signed area
Official clothing-optional beach according to Visit Arran; nudity is welcome rather than compulsory.
The farm track and surrounding working fields are not a blanket naturist area; stay on the signed route.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
No listed facilities are confirmed on the naturist stretch. Public parking, toilets or refreshments on the approach are described separately below.
Access & visiting
Public beach access on foot; no membership, accommodation booking or beach-admission ticket is required. Any vehicle-parking charge is separate. Follow the current signed naturist boundaries.
Age & supervision
Family eligibility is based on the primary visitor guidance for ordinary public shoreline use, with no separate adult-only admission system identified. No numerical minimum age is published. Adults should supervise children and assess tides, terrain and access conditions; customary naturist use does not establish formal designation or extend to every part of the coast.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Open coast, with weather, tides and local access restrictions affecting visits; naturist use is most likely in warmer months.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Travel to Lagg on Arran’s southern coastal road. From the Lagg Inn area head west along the road to the sign for Cleat’s Shore. Check current ferry and island transport services separately.
Parking
BN describes limited parking near the shore-end buildings, reached by the farm track. Vehicle permission, track condition and space should be confirmed locally before driving down; otherwise arrange lawful village parking without blocking gates and walk.
Finding the naturist area
Follow the signed Cleat’s Shore track all the way to the beach, closing every gate. When the shore becomes visible, remain on the track rather than cutting across the field. The beach is the naturist destination, not a separate resort entrance.
