What reviewers say

Visitors praise Obelisk Beach for its picturesque and secluded nature, calling it a paradise for nudists and a great spot for an all-over tan. However, some visitors were unaware it was a nude beach and found the presence of "creeps" and feeling observed to be a significant downside.

About this place Obelisk Beach

Located at Cremorne Point in Sydney, this beach is a well-established gathering spot for gay and queer locals and visitors. Gay beaches in Sydney have long been important community spaces where LGBTQ+ people can relax, socialise, and enjoy the ocean in a welcoming environment. This location attracts a diverse mix of visitors throughout the year, making it an accessible option whether you're looking for a quiet afternoon or more social atmosphere. The beach experience in Sydney varies with the seasons and time of day, so you'll find different vibes depending on when you visit. The queer crowd here tends to be friendly and inclusive, and the beach serves as both a casual hangout spot and a place where the community gathers to celebrate. It's the kind of venue where you can expect to meet locals, make new friends, and feel comfortable being yourself. When planning your visit, remember that Australian beaches require standard sun safety precautions—bring sunscreen, water, and check local conditions before heading out. The beach is accessible as part of the broader Cremorne Point area in Sydney, so you can easily combine a beach visit with exploring nearby cafes, parks, and other local attractions. Whether you're a solo traveller, visiting with friends, or part of a group, this spot offers a genuine slice of Sydney's LGBTQ+ beach culture.

Absolutely fantastic... Simply fantastic. For everyone who is in Sydney and still hesitating... Do it and spend a few wonderful hours at Obelisk Beach... It's worth it.

A very picturesque and hidden clothing optional / nude beach. A good place to try naked scuba! Note that it's not particularly deep, no more than 3 to 4m depth on the north (left hand) side. Make sure you go at high tide, and when the water is clear!

The small beach at the nudist camp. A paradise for nudists.
