It seems to be written that the beach is for girls, but in fact this is not true.

Perfect for people who want to feel free but also really want to avoid eye contact with the guy next to you who is definitely not looking at the horizon. As far as clothing-optional beaches go, this one is my favourite. Absolutely stunning beach. It should be noted, however, that this beach tends to attract people seeking something other than the surf, sand and sun, due to the 'exposed' nature of the beach - it's very visible to hikers on overlooking trails, ferries, other boats, fishermen etc. so be cautious. Also be prepared for the aforementioned groups to whip out a camera. 10/10 all around.

Best time to go is week days off school holidays. Easy walk. Best at low tide as you get more sand to relax. If you getting all your gear off this is the place. Nearest legal nudist beach is outside Sydney to the south at Werrong beach in the southern end of the Royal National Park.

Beautiful beach, very pleasant walk but... too many nudists with small equipment... you can already see it!
