Although we have about 20 legal nude beaches throughout Australia, and many more that are unofficially condoned by the authorities, there are never any guarantees. In the past we have seen high profile legal nude beaches such as Reef Beach in Sydney Harbour closed due to pressure from local objectors. You can help prevent this by following the prompts in the list below and vote against the proposed closures.
Miners Beach - near Port Macquarie, New South Wales Miners Beach is an unofficial nude beach near Port Macquarie, NSW. (Lighthouse NP). At the end of 2003 the council built a boardwalk from the nearby textile beach and now people walk through the NP via the nude beach. The council has recently erected signs saying "If nudists offend contact police".
We are therefore close to losing yet another unofficial nude beach in NSW (Little Conwong Beach" has suffered the same problems). I have been alerted to the website of a magazine that is running a poll as to whether to keep a nude beach at Miners Beach or not. The website address is http://www.focusmag.com.au
We need all nudists to go to the site. On the left at the bottom of the article is a poll. Click on this and vote "yes" to keep the nude beach. We need your help with this NOW!
When I cast my vote, the poll was running >80% in favor of a legal nude beach. I was encouraged to read that Oz has dozens of 'official' (i.e., legal) nude beaches, but saddened to think that there are so very few here in the Land Of The Free.
