Southside Beach is a clothing-optional beach in Surf Coast, Victoria, Australia. The Australian naturist tradition is anchored by Maslin Beach in South Australia โ€” Australia's first officially-designated nude beach, recognised by the state government in 1975. Other established designated naturist beaches operate in Victoria (Sunnyside North on the Mornington Peninsula) and the Australian Capital Territory. New South Wales operates under council-level designations; Sydney's Lady Jane Beach in Sydney Harbour National Park is the most-cited NSW example. Queensland, Western Australia, and other states have a mix of designated and tolerated beaches. Australian indecent-exposure laws are state-by-state but generally target genital exposure with intent rather than mere nudity at established naturist beaches. For the broader legal context, see our public nudity laws guide.
