About Town and Country Naturists Ipswich Skinny-Dip
Town and Country Naturists (formerly the Adam & Eve Social Club, founded 1983) has run a monthly nude swim in Ipswich for more than ten years. The private, enclosed venue has two heated pools kept at about 31 and 33 degrees. Each session lasts about four hours and includes cool drinks, hot drinks, snacks and a cheap sausage sizzle. Men are expected to be nude, and women may undress to their own comfort level. ANF and INF behaviour standards apply.
Legal context & local rules
Public nudity is generally illegal across Australian states under indecent exposure laws. NSW Summary Offences Act 1988 Section 5 criminalises obscene exposure. However, specific beaches designated as clothing-optional by state governments are legally exempt, creating designated safe spaces for legal naturism within an otherwise restrictive framework.

More naturist places in Australia
View all in Australia →3 Bares Retreat
Adults-only clothing-optional naturist retreat in Koah on the Atherton Tablelands, about an hour's drive from Cairns. The property borders the Clohesy River and has flat, powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, an on-site caravan for hire, a camp kitchen, shower block, laundry, pool and dump point. Nudists, LGBTQI+ guests and curious first-timers are all welcome, and pets are allowed on a lead.
ACT Nudist Club
Long-running nudist club for Canberra, with grounds and a pool just outside the city along the Kings Highway near Bungendore. Its by-laws describe it as a nudist club rather than a clothes-optional resort, and nudity is expected whenever practical, especially at the pool. The club has opened its gates for summer events such as an Australia Day pool party, and it has supported coastal naturist groups at events in Bermagui.
Agnes Water / 1770 Naturist Beach
Quiet Queensland coastal stretch near Agnes Water and Town of 1770 with informal clothing-optional use away from the main patrolled beach.
Alexandria Bay
Alexandria Bay, known locally as A-Bay, is a sweep of white sand on the ocean side of Noosa National Park, between Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. It is backed by forested headlands and dunes, with no buildings in sight, and faces the open Pacific, so surf and rips can be strong and there are no lifeguards. For decades A-Bay has been Queensland's best-known nude beach, with Lonely Planet once calling it perhaps the most beautiful of Australia's nude beaches. However, it has never been legal: Queensland is the only mainland state with no legally recognised clothing-optional beach. The tolerance ended in 2023. On 16 April 2023 police issued seven fines of $287 and four warnings for wilful exposure after complaints about predatory and sexual behaviour around the beach. A local MP's survey found most respondents supported a legal nude beach here, and the Queensland Naturist Association has campaigned for it, but no law has changed. Today it remains a popular national park beach for clothed walkers and surfers, and anyone undressing risks a fine.
Alfis Naturist Retreat
New clothing-optional caravan and camping ground in North Central Victoria, run by hosts Alan and Fiona and affiliated with the Australian Naturist Federation. The property was being developed through 2024 and was due to open in early 2025, so facilities may still be growing. It is aimed at naturists touring northern Victoria and the Murray region with caravans, motorhomes or tents. Contact the hosts for directions and current facilities.
Aquarius Naturist Retreat
Privately owned naturist grounds in Berrinba, about 30 km south of central Brisbane, for families and couples: 10 acres of mown lawns inside privacy fencing, with bushland and a creek. There are powered and unpowered caravan and tent sites, a shower and toilet block, a clubhouse kitchen, and occasional on-site rooms. More than twenty activities are on offer, including a swimming pool, pickleball, tennis, miniten, frisbee golf and a clay pizza oven, and monthly themed social nights are held.
