Hastings is an established seaside resort with long sand and shingle beaches, offering a range of facilities and entertainment options for visitors.
Fairlight Glen Beach is situated in a secluded location, overlooking Covehurst Bay, approximately a mile east of Hastings. The beach can be accessed via a 20-minute walk from the Hastings Country Park Visitor Centre, which offers disabled parking, toilets, a café, and an information centre. Alternatively, visitors can walk to the beach from Hastings along a cliff-top path, although this route involves a steep and potentially hazardous climb down to the beach.
The beach itself is primarily composed of shingle, with large boulders and some sandy areas that become exposed at low tide. The rocky shoreline is surrounded by beautiful forest-covered cliffs and is part of Hastings Country Park, a designated Special Area of Conservation.
Fairlight Glen Beach is a popular spot for naturists, although it is also enjoyed by non-naturist visitors. The beach offers a secluded and peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a more relaxed and natural beach experience.
Visitors to the beach should be aware of the potential hazards, including hidden rocks submerged in the surf and the lack of a lifeguard service. Additionally, the tide times should be taken into account, as there is only one path up onto the cliff top, and visitors should avoid wandering too far along the beach as the tide comes in.
The Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve, which backs the beach, is a popular spot for walkers and nature enthusiasts. The reserve is home to a variety of wild flowers in the spring and summer, and many interesting species of bird migrate to the area in the spring and autumn.
