For an outing au naturel, have a swim in the ocean at one of these clothing-optional beaches in Melbourne. You'll be able to enjoy fresh saltwater feeling over every part of your body. But be sure to bring a towel or chair to sit on so you can avoid getting sand in places where the sun doesn't shine. Oh, and be sure to apply sunscreen everywhere. Happy skinny dipping!

Sunnyside North Beach

If you're a nudist newbie, Sunnyside is a popular go-to for beginners. People love it for its proximity to the city and its laidback atmosphere. Just make sure you’ve gone north enough so that you don’t get weird looks when you start stripping off.

This clothes-optional beach is located past Torquay on Victoria’s surf coast. It’s technically a surf beach, but we’re not too sure who’d be brave enough to attempt a surf in full naturalist mode. The nude section of the beach is marked and is located about 500 metres to the left of the main stretch.

Point Impossible is another clothing-optional beach that boasts some pretty white sand and some grass-covered dunes as well. You’ll find it after traversing a rough gravel road from the end of the bitumen on the Esplanade in Torquay. The beauty of this place is that on most days outside of the holiday period, you’ll share this stretch of sand with only a handful of other nudists. Be warned: showers are not available, so be wary of how sandy your bits are getting.
