Nudist Beach Etiquette

February 26 2023

On a recent visit to my local nudist beach with some other friends.
All enjoying another beautiful day swimming, sun bathing, chatting and listening to some great tunes.
Our peaceful existence was disrupted by a couple who arrived and set up about 15 mtrs of us. They started playing with each other and I hadn't noticed until a few men started to gather around.

This was in open space and 200mtrs south of the public clothed beach. It really just pissed me off that I had to see multiple men jacking off.

I know this happens regularly and I'm no fool or prude. However I have a right to use the clothing optional beach as it's intended by the local council.

Why do some think it's totally acceptable to not use some nudist etiquette and take it into the dunes away from the rest of the public?

What are your views and opinions of nudist etiquette or in my opinion just common sense?

    Agree, take it away from people who are enjoying the nudist beach as a nudist beach. I used to go with my ex partner, we were always approached by guys, cock in hand, thinking we were there to play. It ruins it for others.

    Having read so many forum posts here on RHP about people looking for sex at nudist beaches . . . to then have RHPers remind them ALL that it’s illegal . . . shows just how many people don’t give a single fuck about other (innocent) people at ‘nudie’ beaches.
    ..
    Being a highly sexual being doesn’t excuse not seeking consent. So unless people go to ALL THE OTHER people in the vicinity in a public place . . . it means they don’t have consent. (I’m not suggesting that people DO go ask everyone if it’s ok 🤪, merely pointing out the obvious lack of consent in this scenario)..
    ..
    When I was 13, I was walking on an isolated part of one of the most famous public beaches in WA, when a guy in his 40’s+ took his cock out of his Union Jack speedos (yep-39 years later I still can’t UNremember all the details of the incident).
    ..
    To me these two behaviours are the same. You are exposing your penis to innocent people. And yes, children are taken to clothing optional beaches.
    ..
    I’m now of the opinion, that you would have the absolute RIGHT to video these people and give to the police. (Or potentially post it to FB with a warning above indecent exposure - obvs 🤨).

    Gross. Have been privy to this behaviour from couple's at Buchans Beach in Cairns and it's not on.

    Sounds like we need nude beaches and sex beaches. I'm not into either but take a live and let live view of things. Not like we are short on beaches

    We stopped going because of this... l'm a guy ' and even l take offence.. . ln fact theres been times when l confronted guys for being too close and told them to f--k off.. l remember seeing a family with their kids turn around and walk off the beach once because of some moron laying close by aroused?
    Your right ' everyone should be able to go naked ' enjoy the water and the sun in peace..

    I did say a few words to the crowd on our departure. Hence they were all seen in the car park shortly after I mentioned something about the ranger being happy to see them. Which I didn't report but they aren't to know either way.

    Nah, that's not ok.
    My view: I believe there's two types of people that go.
    1. Those who believe and have this idea that "clothing optional beaches"and being nude at them means, to have sexual lewd activities in that zoned area and also find it exciting to have sex outdoors. The act of being watched and wanked over or watching others who are naked and wanking over them. All Thanks to porn and porn beach scenes. Have very limited social ettiquite skills at C O beaches..
    2. Those nudists that go to clothing optional beaches, do go to enjoy the sun, sea and sand, respect others and their surroundings. They have the experience, knowledge and bounderies in place, like yourself OP. They certainly have an understanding what "clothing Optional" actually means.

    This type of behavior and attitude is a sign of the times unfortunately. We now live in an age where thanks to the internet porn this is portrayed to be the norm at clothing optional beaches. As a practicing nudist myself i find it all in bad taste and a lack of social morals. Its very hard to get free beaches opened up but very easy to close them due to this type of behavior. If you were at Warnbro originally the free beach started at the path from the carpark but due to the usual muppets that had to camp under the sign naked right next to the path the sign was moved a couple of hundred meters further down.

    Totally agree, I have been one of those who has "played" in the dunes and had some fun discretely, but I also now have a wife who has enjoyed a couple of isolated nude beaches. Would love to visit more and relax but what puts me off is the thought of some horny twit staring at her and having a wank. I know that will kill it for her stone dead. And its taken years to get here comfortable enough to get to one beach.

    We often go to Sunny-side (and a few other clothing option beaches) and have seen the way that some males behave. It’s akin to a flock of seagulls swooping on a plate of hot chips.

    What makes males flock to clothing optional beaches ? And why are males in the vast majority on clothing optional beaches?

    Are the males there to perve and hopefully get a piece of the action? Is that the attraction for them ?

    Where does this stem from ? Have they been watching too many porn movies? Do they equate nudity / naturism with sex ?

    In our opinion the majority (based on their behaviour) are there to perve and hopefully get some action.

    We have a little sun shelter tent and ran a little experiment on 3 clothing optional beaches - in SA , VIC and the unofficial beach near Palm Cove.

    With just an umbrella the majority of males did not come too close nor hang around us. But the minute we erected our little tent / sun shelter, they came swooping in from all directions , like seagulls attracted to a plate of chips.

    So they saw our tent as an invitation or a signal that we were going to have sex ?

    They gathered around us. We sat there , half in and half out of the tent, sipping champagne innocently & ignoring them. They clearly were growing frustrated that we were not initiating sex.

    We then hopped into the tent and zipped the entrance & 3 windows closed. We could see their shadows as they circled the tent like a pack of hungry wolves. One of them tried to unzip the tent.

    At that point we could not contain our anger any longer and we launched ourselves out of the tent and in essence told them to fuck off. We ended up calling 000.

    What these fuckwits don’t understand is that it’s a clothing optional beach. And that one has to obey the laws that apply to all beaches , and public spaces, and that means no stalking, no harassing and no lewd sexual acts.

    Would they behave like this on the train or in the supermarket or on the clothed section of the beach ? If not why not ? Because they would be arrested very quickly.

    Their unacceptable behaviour has resulted in most couples & single females avoiding clothing optional beaches. It becomes tiring & stressful having to look over one’s shoulder for the next lurking meerkat or swooping seagull.

    We go to the clothing optional beaches to enjoy the feeling of freedom and being able to swim & bask in the sun & fresh air nude. We don’t go to perv & pester and wank.

    Legal clothing options beaches were not made such so that others could pester, perve , wank and sexually harass & stalk others.

    The meerkats just don’t get it. They see it as their sexual playground. Eventually they will cause the beach to lose its clothing optional status. Selfish & entitled. They have absolutely no legal right to spoil it for others.

    When I used to go to Tyagarah with my ex there was always a creepy vibe there. So I started planting a large diving knife upright in the sand for all to see. A wide berth was maintained after that.

    Intriguing behaviour and based on other things I have read these would no doubt be the same type of males that start with lewd conversations and dick pics, ruining life for the ladies and gentlemen who are trying to find each other.

    Personally I love a bit of nudity but prefer privacy as I am not looking to be labelled as one of these types of males. Some men need more education.

    I would surmise that porn would be the main reason this behaviour abounds because how else would a normal person think that standing around in a group wanking while someone is having sex is normal behaviour on a nudist beach.

    Maybe it is time that these beaches are patrolled?

    There is a time and a place for everything but this was hardly the time, being so close

    We love nude beaches because we love the feeling of being free. We love the feeling of the water flowing over our bodies and then the sun drying the salt on our skin. Yes, we like displaying our naked bodies to others and we love people watching. But we detest despos standing nearby wanking and leering. Yes, we enjoy a discrete handjob or fingering on the beach but not full blown sex that attracts the despos. Leave that for Cap d'adge or dogging spots at night.

    There are some great comments on here in particular about the 2 types that use the beaches.
    We have been to Tyagrah twice in the last week and had a great time.
    My wife and I find it interesting watching guys and their methods to get near or engage with couples.
    There are alot of single guys that do a lot of walking I guess to get a better look.
    Personally we are happy to chat with other couples or guys if they’re respectful and want to have a look.
    But walking up engaging with us playing with yourself wouldn’t be cool.
    We lived near maslins for 10 years so went a lot, If we were there near sundown you could almost feel the mood change and the nudist/ naturist people would be leaving.
    So in S.A. for the most part there was definitely a time for action if that’s what you were after.
    At Tyagarah we are packed up by 2-3 so I can’t comment on if it’s similar at sundown.

    I have to admit, I’ve had some fun at the nude beach. Only yesterday I had some fun with a female I had met at the beach (I’ll post a story separately). But always, away from the main beach and out of the view of those who are there simply to enjoy a clothing optional day in the sun, amongst the waves. I think that is basic respect. People attend for different reasons, I didn’t expect to play yesterday and was just there to destress and relax in the sun. Apologies if this gets me in trouble for being honest, just wanted to say that there are those that can play, and do it discretely with a level of respect and consideration of all.

    Love this post. I’m tired of being messaged by men asking me if I like nudist beaches, then it becomes clear that their agenda is to have sex at them. It makes me glad to own a pool, where I can enjoy my privacy.

    I completely agree, l constantly see vile, sleazy and predatory behaviour of men towards women at nude beaches, it’s disgusting. These men don’t give a toss about waltzing right up and invading a fellow human beings personal space. How they can disregard any form of conscience or empathy is flabbergasting! I guess it is a product of the current instant gratification culture…l would like to see more police patrols, as it is sexual assault in some cases, and there are witnesses who will come forward to back up the evidence! I know it’s not a nice thing to bring up, but some things you can’t be nice about.

    This is a very interesting post. We have a wonderful and magical unofficial nudest beach north of Cairns. It's a spot I have loved visiting from time to time over the years.
    I love going and enjoying the energy and feeling of being naked in nature, having a swim and drying off in the sun. I have never known or understood what the correct beach etiquette.

    I have enjoyed sex on the beach often in a secluded part under a tree and head jobs and other play with friends on the beach. Personally I rarely notice the lurking men while in the pleasure of these moments.
    Yes the lurking wanking men give off a weird vibe but they are also found in swingers clubs and im sure a large percentage are online at this moment lurking on a screen, Also some people like this as I have personally seen also.
    I visit the beach alone sometimes and on one occasion a single lady parked next to me and we started chatting. We got along and moved closer and continued to chat. Before I knew it 5 men were surrounding her and she was being played with and enjoying herself as men came one after the other on her. I watched closely and got a different perspective on beach behaviour.
    I have no issue with talking to people in public and this includes while been naked at a beach. Everyone is there for a reason and the fact we are all adults makes this perfect.
    Last time a guy or girl walked up and started touching my cock, I had to say no not interested twice, Thats not on and he/she got the hint with a look a sent.
    It's a wonderful freeing and liberating thing to enjoy. Let it be what ever it is for who ever is there

    I occasionlly go to my local nudist beach, rarely alone though as I feel that I'm being judged, when I do go alone, I enjoy the invigoration of a skinny dip then pack up and leave, I will sun-baked etc if I'm with a lady friend.
