Postponement - Sunnyside Naturist Beach Day to 2/12

Sat, 25 Nov 2023
10:30 - 16:00

Owing to changing weather forecast and likelyhood of attrocious conditions, this event had been moved to the following Saturday.  I hope that all those who have signed up, will be able to attend revised date.  Sorry for any disapointment caused - mc. 

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy, social day with short walks along the beach. Some rocks to walk over to get from the carpark to the naturist beach.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Enjoy a leisurely day sunbathing, walking, swimming and socialising with other Nomads on the beach. Sunnyside is the only officially designated clothing optional beach on Port Phillip Bay, and the closest legal naturist beach to Melbourne.

Sunnyside Beach (North) is a very popular beach with naturists from all over Melbourne and beyond, for very good reasons. It is a safe beach, easy to get to, and offers good swimming and general beach fun. There are a number of rocky areas and reefs close to shore which may also provide snorkelling opportunities if you wish. Most of the beach is sandy with scattered small rocks. This is a family friendly beach, so behaviour needs to be appropriate at all times.

The naturist beach is a very popular location on any sunny day, and the car parking spaces closest to the beach fill up quickly. Arrive early if you would like the best chance of a close park. There are additional all-day parking spaces along the side of Sunnyside Road, but ensure that you read the parking signs carefully as parking inspectors have been known to work over the weekends. We strongly suggest not leaving valuables visible in your car, which of course is good practice everywhere. And, as is common sense, do not leave anything unattended on the beach.

High tide will be at 9:54am and Low tide will be at 3:45pm on 25 November.

You are free to do as much or as little as you want on the beach, it is your day, so make the most of it. There is no planned finishing time, you are free to spend as much or as little time as you wish on the beach.

If the weather forecast for the day is determined as unsuitable by the leader, this beach day may be cancelled by 8pm on the evening prior to the event, or alternatively may be changed to the following day.

This is a free event, but to assist with planning, it is requested that you register your attendance. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on this naturist beach day.

BOOKING: By Thursday 23rd November. To register to attend, click on Get Tickets (no charge for this event).
