Corton Residents Protest Lewd Acts on Local Beach

Residents of Corton near Lowestoft, Suffolk, are protesting increased lewd and sexual behavior by groups of nude men on their local beach, saying it has made the area unsafe for families and harmed its reputation. Local MP Jess Asato, alongside councillors, joined residents in a symbolic walk to reclaim the beach, emphasizing zero tolerance for criminal acts and public indecency. Sales manager Duncan Gooch and others stress that the objection is to sexual acts and exhibitionism, not nudity itself. Despite multiple complaints to the police, residents report insufficient action, leading some to avoid the beach. By contrast, other UK beaches such as a hidden nudist beach near London and Botany Bay in Kent are praised for their scenic qualities and lack of similar problems. The situation in Corton highlights ongoing tensions between recreational nudism and unacceptable public behavior.
