SUMMARY:
The idea of gay Australians wanting to get away from it all may seem entirely redundant, but ask any Aussie from Perth to Tasmania where he'd like to go on vacation - or indeed, where he'd like to live - and a noisy majority will tell you Bondi Beach. The buzz at Bondi, outside of Sydney, it its wide golden sands, ragged sandstone headlands and reliably fine rollers. Activity kicks off at dawn, with joggers on the promenade, muscled bodies by the shore and die-hard surfers catching a few waves before work. An easily accessible nude beach in Sydney is the famous gay icon
beach, "Lady Jane", right on the harbour and a 10 minute walk from the end of the of bus lines 324 or 325. Ride to the end of those bus lines and ask anyone directions to South Head (a national park). On your walk to South Head you can't miss the park sign for "Lady Bay". The
sign also says "Nudity permitted only on beach". Hardly hidden away and not hard to find. You can see naked men from the sidewalk...so you really don't need orienteering skills. Whoever you are, you'll appreciate the paved walkway offering beautiful views during the ten-minute walk from the fairly gay southern end to Tamarama Beach, nicknamed "Glamorama," as the buffed and beautiful (known as "Barbies" by the locals) come here to see and be seen. Little Congwong Beach is a nude beach in Botany Bay (you'll need to ask a local for directions). Obelisk Beach is a cruisy beach next to the Naval Station on the North side of Sydney Harbor.
