Australia's Naturist Heritage

Australia has a rich naturist heritage dating back to the early 20th century. The modern era of legal naturism began in 1975 when Maslin Beach in South Australia became the nation's first officially designated nude beach. This pioneering decision paved the way for other states to follow, and today Australia is home to dozens of official and traditional free beaches.

The Australian naturist community is known for its welcoming, inclusive nature. Beaches like Lady Bay in Sydney, Alexandria Bay in Noosa, and Swanbourne in Perth have become iconic destinations that attract visitors from around the world. These beaches demonstrate that naturism can coexist harmoniously with mainstream beach culture.
