Nudist and Clothing Optional Resorts, B&Bs and  Beaches
Australia now has many nudist and clothing optional resorts, recreation and camping grounds, and Bed & Breakfast Services and beaches. These facilities cater for an ever increasing number of touring nudists, from both within Australia and overseas. Indeed it is possible to travel from Adelaide to Cairns and always be within reach of overnight nudist accommodation.

Besides accommodation most of the resorts and B&Bs offer additional facilities such as swimming pools, spa pools, and sports facilities. Other services may include airport, road or rail transfers, meals, entertainment such as Trivia Nights, Theme Parties etc. They are ideal for both short 'Getaway' breaks as well as more extended holidays.

The standard of these facilities can vary from very basic camping grounds, to caravan parks, to full resort, guesthouse and motel style accommodation. In most cases they have provisions for the whole family, but some cater only for adults. It is essential that you contact the proprietors direct to make arrangements prior to you arrival.

Clothing Optional Beaches
Most Australian states have had legal free beaches for many years, the two exceptions being Queensland and Tasmania. However, both of these states do have a number of unofficially condoned nude bathing areas and it is hoped the situation may be resolved in the near future. 

Annual nude beach carnivals are held in several states but the situation does vary from year to year. The range of activities is very much of the 'family picnic day' style. These days are very popular and usually attract several hundred participants. 

A new and exciting development in the quest for more free beaches in all states of Australia is the amalgamation of the Free Beach Association of NSW Inc and the Free Beach Association of Qld Inc. The new Australia wide organisation, titled Free Beaches Australia Inc, is affiliated with the ANF. If you or your group think the ANF may be able to help in obtaining legal status for your favourite 'well known' free beach please contact this organisation or the secretary of the Australian Nudist Federation Inc to find out what assistance can be offered.
