It was forecast to be around 36c today in London so I opted to go down to Brighton for the day as it was only 25c there instead. Aside from the sunburn, I loved it. It was the first time in a while I've been somewhere and felt comfortable enough to have all my scars visible. I didn't have anyone making snide comments, staring at me or pointing. It was a lovely late 30th birthday present.

It was pretty busy all things considered, I didn't expect the amount of people to turn up during the heatwave but I was pleasantly wrong. It was my first time there so someone was kind enough to take pity on me and introduced themselves and spoke for a while. Perhaps next time I'll bring better footwear because those rocks are fine at first but after a while they begin to just sand away your feet.

The water while the tide was in was beautiful. You could actually see through it. I was about chest high in the water (5ft10) and I could clearly see my feet on the sea floor. I managed to snag a few photos of myself in the water for a keepsake because I've never known our water to be so clear. Once the tide went out and it exposed the sandy sea bed, that's when the water lost all its clarity.

I'm definitely going back sometime. Thank you to the community for being so chill.

I think I'm just ready to go now. I don't really care if this gets removed I just want to tell someone.

Hello, I'm 29. I'm from London and I'm planning to visit Brighton for the first time to try out the nudist beach.

I'm in a relationship and have three kids, so I'm looking for strictly platonic company, id appreciate not having all those weird dms please. I'm planning on going regardless of if anyone reaches out. However some company wouldn't hurt as I've got social anxiety, so some conversation is always welcome.

Neuro divergence is welcomed as I'm part of the community, just reach out and we can organise something.

Otherwise I hope everyone else is fairing better than I am in this heat. I'm strongly considering flaying myself to remove an extra layer lol.

I'm currently treating my current depression spiral by getting lost in an old zombie game. That old game has hands lol; I've been getting wrecked. I wouldn't mind someone to gently guide me through the game without making it too easy.

I have a few hobbies and interests so I can list a few here so you can check my profile out before reaching out. I like to do art, I do a fair bit of archery and gardening. I really enjoy music and naturism too. I'm a parent too so any other parents are welcome to reach out, I understand how little free time we get away.

I'm also autistic, not heavily so I'm just a little shy most of the time. But feel free to reach out.
