Swanbourne Beach

Nice beach! at the nudist part there’s usually not many of them on the actual beach because it’s too windy they actually all are up the hill lying in the dunes :) a nudist was really friendly and had a quick general chat with us. It’s actually quite nice when you find a nice spot it’s really quiet and best for reading a book alone or just hanging with friends :)
We were probably the youngest there (18 – 19) and everyone else was probably (25+ mostly over 40)

Went for a nice long walk down the beach and had a great time!
Being new to Perth, I didn’t know about the nude part (it was quite chilly when we went, so parts would have frozen had they been exposed to the elements!) We just enjoyed the lovely surf — some of the best I’ve seen on any Perth beach so far — and the dog friendly fun!
Now I’m going to have to go back in the summer to check out the nekkid folks! (From my experiences in Europe and elsewhere, nude beaches are NEVER populated with super models, frolicking in the surf. More often than not, you get guys who look like me… and no one wants to see THAT in all it’s ‘glory’!!!)

Not my favourite of the Perth beaches but still Amazing and we should always consider how lucky we are, i don’t think for any/​many beach reviews in perth we could go below 4 stars.
Nudie folk running around in the nude section (watch out for bad tan lines, elderly men In bad taste g strings, saggy breasts, peepers and you get the rest)
Without the shark sightings this summer it would be busier this year but unfortunately the crowd has subdued.
Love how the Naked fig did a roped off concealed nudie charity event on this beach to fundraise.
Lovely stroll along the soft sand to cott beach as it’s such a short distance.

Swanbourne Beach is home to the only nudie beach in Perth (well at least I know about). That is only part of it. It also has a large section which is for the clothed people. I haven’t been to the nudie beach part, but friends tell me that it is not unusual for there to be a volleyball game in action. The mind boggles on what could go wrong whilst playing. For the voyeurs amongst us follow the signs and be prepared to strip. They do not tolerate clothed people amongst them.
For those like me who prefer their clothes on the rest of Swanbourne is a nice beach. Stay between the flags and listen to the lifeguards. Swanbourne is lovely to look at, but you can get dumped if you are not paying attention to the swell. There have also been a lot of shark sightings off the coast this summer, so best to pay attention.

Although Swanbourne beach is renowned for one reason and that being the scantily clad or even not-​so-​clad people sun-​bathing there is a section of the beach that is not nudist. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards and in that sense it is family friendly. The waves can dump you on the sand so be wary if you are wearing a skimpy bikini, you may want to redress before standing.
The neighbourhood is blessed with some decent breakfast spots and cafes so it makes for a great morning swim.
Worth a visit.

Don’t be afraid. Not everyone on this beach is walking around with their pink bits hanging out, and there is a section that’s suited to the more conservative amongst us, where you might see topless bathing but the girls and boys keep their panties on for the most part.
It’s further down about 100 metres from the carpark where the nudie action is. And I stress the word action, for delve further into the dunes and you’re bound to spot a few sights that would shock even David Attenborough.
Swanbourne Beach is a WA institution. Everybody ought to pay a visit at least once. Well, not into the dunes perhaps…

Swanbourne, as a beach, is great for a swim — there are usually enough waves to offer some excitement for swimmers, but the waves are not so extreme that they prevent the less aquatically-​talented from entering. There is a warning about dumping waves though, so some caution should be exercised.
Most people go to Swanbourne for an entirely different reason — to either gawk at the nude bathers, or to join the throng of the unclothed. The areas for nude bathing are clearly marked, but the walkways to and from the beach are not under the same rules, so it’s best to strip while on the beach, and to ensure you are clothed before leaving.
There is a strange sense of freedom in being able to swim and run in the nude, although conversations with friends may be awkward afterwards if you went in a group. Once you’ve seen each other in the nude, there’s really not much else left to share…
Swanbourne is an interesting [to say the least] beach that should be visited at least once.
