Eyebrows have been raised ahead of a bare-all event taking place this weekend at Portstewart Strand.
The Great British Skinny Dip is set to be hosted by British Naturism Northern Ireland on the National Trust managed beach on the Causeway Coast this Sunday (1st September) between 11am and 3pm.
The National Trust announced the event saying:
“Calling on all seasoned skinny dippers and nude-newbies - this is your chance to experience the freedom of swimming without trunks or bikinis at Portstewart Strand.
“Hosted by British Naturism Northern Ireland, this event is in aid of Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to celebrate the charity's 200th anniversary as well as the 60th anniversary of British Naturism.
“Why not make a day of it by bringing a picnic to the beach and enjoying other beach games and activities?
“To join Northern Ireland’s fourth annual Great British Skinny Dip, please come along to the far end of the Strand (Posts 10-11) at 11am on Sunday 1 September 2024.
“Sections 8 and 9 of the beach will be cordoned off exclusively for this event and its participants’ privacy from 11am until 3pm.
“Lifeguards will be also on duty on the day.”
