Victorian & Tasmanian Nude Beaches

Port Phillip Bay Area...

Sunnyside North – Legal
Sunnyside North Beach at Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula would have to take out the prize as the hardest fought for clothes optional in Australia. The naturists pressed on for years in their fight for legal status, undaunted by the opposition from the police, the nearby residents, and the local council, and eventually they won. But the fight must still go on for better access, more parking, and indeed more clothes optional beaches in this area to cater for the needs of the naturists in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
    From the city take the Nepean Highway (Route 3) south some 40 km to Frankston. Continue a further 7 to 8 km then look for the sign to Sunnyside Beach. Turn right here and drive down this road for about 800 metres to the car park. Actually you may have to park well short of the car park on busy days, and do be careful of driveways and No Parking signs. Walk on to Sunnyside Beach then proceed north around the rocky point to North Sunnyside.

Campbell's Cove – Legal
At the time it was granted legal status as a clothes optional beach Campbell's Cove was reported as being far from a desirable place to spend a nice sunny Sunday. However, it is understood that at the time of declaration some Government funds were made available for facilities at the designated beaches to be upgraded. If this has been done then it may well be that this beach is now worth a visit.
    To get to Campbell's Cove Beach from Werribee turn into Duncans Road, then after some distance into Aviation Road. From here it is right into Cunningham Road and then left into Campbell's Cove Beach Road. Proceed past the fishermen's huts to the end of the road. From the Melbourne side take the Point Cook turn off, then along Aviation Road, Cunningham Road etc.

West of Melbourne Area...

Point Impossible – Legal
The beach at Point Impossible is very typical of much of Victoria's southern coastline with a very wide expanse of sand sloping up to a backdrop of huge vegetated sand dunes. To get to Point Impossible from Geelong head south over the Barwon River and then take the first turn left and follow the signs toward Breamlea. About 1.6 km short of Breamlea turn right into Blackgate Road. Continue for some 3 km and take the first road to the left. Follow this to the point then south west behind the dunes for another 2 km where, about 200 metres short of the rubbish tip, a track on your left leads into the car park.
    Alternatively you can take the Torquay road from Geelong and turn left into Blackgate Road about 4 km past Mt Duneed. You should then find the road to Point Impossible about 4 km down this road on your right.

Southside Beach - Legal
Southside Beach is at a comfortable location between Bells Beach and the previous legal area at Point Addis. Access is gained by turning off the Great Ocean Road west of Torquay into Bells Boulevard or into Jarosite Road to the north east of Anglesea. Southside is just to the east of Point Addis.
