Another nude beach lost!
Interesting development...the council thought the beach belong to them, well they found out the NSW national park authority is in fact the owner, and they have decided to no longer support clothing optional on it!
A very sad day for Naturism in Australia!
The council has no juridiction on the beach. Next week vote is about the council removal of the signs identifying the beach as clothing optional. Nsw National park authority had made it clear they will not allow clothing optional on that beach but they are in talk with the council, from my understanding , to find another location ...but that may never occur. A strong petition wpuld ceryainly help...but where are our leading naturist associations? Why are they falling silent ? Are there just there to collect memberships? Why don't they lobby and start a campaign to revive Naturism in Australia....and I am not talking about a nude cruise there, a nude gathering there etc ...but a real educational and effective campaign!
The quote below gives enough information to see where the problem probably started, something that often ruins and sometimes will end up closing down CO and nude beaches - beach goers who cannot control where their feet go because they can't control their urge to find a spot in the dunes for more intimate or less-than-social activities. If people continue to engage in inappropriate behaviors - whether it's because they're going to a public beach to get in the sun nude and then weirdly decide they don't want other people seeing them (a truly antisocial attitude as opposed to being socially bare in a natural setting) or they are trying to hook up - nude places will keep being lost when people can't follow stated rules and stay clear of closed areas, or keep letting their genitals take charge. Allowing sex and naturism to intersect without regard to keeping healthy, family-oriented nudism as the ultimate goal, it ends up a loss for everyone, every time. Byron Bay is only the latest of these bare-safe places to fall away due to selfish fools. Officials will play the environmental card every time, and they need to. So without lifeguards or patrols to enforce the careful use of natural places (which costs monies usually not available), say goodbye!
We lost a beautiful, nude-accepting strand of beach here in Virginia called Grandview because the neighborhood residents adjacent to it could pull out their spyglasses and witness sexual activity going on right out in the open. We'll ignore the fact that the (understandably-) offended residents might've found some other way to entertain themselves than through the use of a telescope in the daytime. A more instructive view of Uranus might've been to train said device into the night sky rather than attempting to count the Youranus being displayed on the beach. But after beginning to ticket people for simply being nude, as well as busting the perpetrators of what was becoming an open air sextravaganza, it still wasn't stopping the illegal activity, so everyone loses one of the very few beaches in this state where nakedness was allowed.This beach is lost. The council is looking at alternative location. NSW national park won't reconsider as beach goers are allegedly damaging the local flora by going more and more in dunes and park.

Thank you WW, an excellent post. Im always saddened to hear the news of a beach or resort that stops being naturist for whatever reason.
The highlighted quote i totally agree with and have talked about many times on TN, always there are the selfish and strangely their supporters that proclaim being sexual is the new nudism and the old nudism is dying. Well with every beach that chooses not to be nudist, they are winning that argument .
Pointing out its detrimental for them seems to pass them by.
So called nudist that are predators have spoilt it for us all! Where is the petition to sign?
Yep and when they are called out they are quick to cry prudes, judgmental or victimization while deflect their responsibility. That was one of the responses when this news was shared on IG.
