    Great place to get your clothes off, noticed and free of your inhibitions. It's extremely exciting to walk around naked knowing that people are looking at you. I love finding a good spot to just lay down with my legs wide open and get that all over tan.

    Great beach with some amazing sunsets. Love the clothing optional section since it allows others to express themselves if they choose to do so. I hope they don't shut down the beach just because some people don't like the idea of a nude beach.

    The beach in front of the carpark is family friendly and good for swimming. Turning right and going past the rocks will take you to the "clothing optional" beach. Parking can be a problem on warmer days, the main beach however never seems that busy. I guess the nudie beach must be crowded on those days πŸ˜‰

    Turn right (North) for the nudist beach, or left (South) for the clothed beach. They are visually separated from each other by rocks. There are toilets and a shower. The carpark is small so you might need a generous driver to drop you and your shade gear at the path to drive up the hill to find a park. Essentials - shade gear, sunscreen, hats, thongs/sandals. When we were there the water was waist deep and still.

    Sunnyside is a place close to my heart, a beautiful spot on the bay to witness the beginning of a new dawn, as well as a place to contemplate your day as the last rays of sun kiss the sky goodnight.

    Cons: β€’ Few parking spots, during busy times must park up the main road and walk down. β€’ Hard accessibility, must climb some big rocks to reach. β€’ Super rocky, not much land to lay on. β€’ Short/small stretch of land, it was really cramped for space. β€’ Sand has alot of small broken shells. Pros: β€’ Good privacy due to both ends of the beach having been blocked off by rocks. β€’ Rocky cliffs over head. β€’ Water is calm and decently clean. β€’ No insects and bugs swarming. β€’ Only beach like it in the Port Phillip Bay.

    Wont recommend to go as a solo woman. Beautiful beach but lots of creepy men, some trying to pretend to not get near to you but you can obviously feel it. I felt uncomfortable and I had put clothes on. When I fell asleep, I saw a man watching me behind the rocks doing something indecent to himself. Sad that I cannot feel free, safe and relaxed here without disturbance. It’s a nude beach but it seems to be a hookup beach with mostly sleezy men.

    Was here to try my hand at kayaking, and water is required. Arrived early to beat the heat and the crowd it turns out. Seems it's a popular place to park for the clothing optional beach. There are toilets and showers available here. The water was calm and wet.

    An enclosed beach. Public toilets and showing facilities, and an electric bbq here. Scenic on a sunny day, for its' name sake.

  • 3/5 sancia m. 6 years ago on Google
    bit rocky but nice clear water and a good relaxing spot. been here for half an hour and have already had two sleezy snoopers trying to find any chance they can get to walk past us, even though we’re at the end of the beach. if only there was a way to get rid of these sleeze bags and be more comfortable! (tip: take photos of these seeds to shew them off or otherwise tell them to get fricked)

    It's a legit nude beach sectioned off for people who want to bath nude. Went at a fairly quiet time and it was beautiful. Based on other reviews people are right, there's heaps of rocks and boulders, they need to build a better path to get to the nude section and have better shower amenities but overall lovely

    Parking was good, just too many creepy old men coincidentally driving around (sometimes parking for 5min) making the outing unpleasant. Watch out for lunch stealing magpie's that wont take no for an answer.

    Not much parking, very hot sand, rocks on the shallow part of the water, no waves, would not recommend

  • 3/5 Yvette D. 4 years ago on Google
    Access over a small rocky patch but easy enough if you walk ok. Not a lot of shade, some oil on the beach however shallow sandy safe looking swimming. No women on the beach with a few β€˜friendly’ men. I’m glad I went with my best man. I’m sure it would be great in the summer - today was a good opportunity to relax in the sun. You need to go there to make up your own mind.

    Beach was good. But can't avoid some weird dudes wandering around the beach with cloths full on a sunny day. Much respect and consideration is needed to build a healthy community! And some are too much staring.

  • 5/5 Colin K. 5 years ago on Google
    A great beach but get there early to get a parking spot in the carpark or you may have to park up the steep road and it's a long walk up hill on a hot day to get back to your car. Toilets and showers in the carpark. WARNING: Make sure you take some shelter. There is NO shade on this beach. Take sunscreen, water and a hat. Great place for nude swimming and relaxing in the raw. 95% males and 5% females. Oh yes.....when you get there turn right at the beach and navigate over the rocks. Wear sandals ! Trust me.

    One of the quiet beach in the town. Although it is not great for swimming due to rocks and sudden deep waters.

    Great beach really beautiful. There are plenty of places to park on a busy day but by design council have placed parking signs for the majority of the road leading to the beach. They excessively limit parking and then they fine without displaying parking tickets on cars. But then I have a moment of clarity and my thoughts turn to the plight of the wealthy tax-payers in their coastal frontage Mount Eliza mansions, having to bare horror sights, such as, Hyundai's (gasp!), Toyota's (by golly!) and Kia's (oh my!), of the commoner public, parking on the same road that borders their multimillion-dollar acreage properties - and I shed a salty tear... Thankfully they have the Mornington Peninsula Shire council to act on such grave concerns.

    The path needs to be very safe and stable as it is very loose rocks the rocks in the sea make it very limt3d and unsafe for swimmers to swim I would like to see these amended

  • 4/5 Steve P. 5 years ago on Google
    A lovely spot down the Mornington Penninsula but a good hours drive for me. Clothing optional with a respectable crowd.

  • 4/5 Jamie C. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite a nice small beach with approximately 15m of rock to water sand. To get there walk right of the car park down a small goat’s track path to the shore, once on the sand / rocks walk further right and go past the rocky outcrop. Once past it you’ll see where you are meant to be. Go early, I arrived at 10:30am on a Wednesday on a to be 31 degree day and luckily secured the last car park space.Very crowded, ( cheek to cheek ) but expected considering it’s the only one on the east coast of Victoria. Friendly crowd and very chatty, quite a few must be regulars as they were saying hi to each other. Don’t go expecting to see fine examples of the human race, as most have pulled the ripcord a while ago. 4/5 as I know there are better nudist beaches. Treat yourself to Southside Beach on the West Cost. Massive beach and a lot more sand space to be private in.

    Great beach, turn right and keep walking, very surprising scenery past the rocks I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Wealthy 1 year ago on Google
    A very beautiful beach. Great for swimming or just going for a stroll. The car park is nice especially at night, can sit and chill, listen to music and look at the water.

  • 4/5 Norman D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bay beach with close parking. Ideal for children.

  • 1/5 Paul D. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible nudist beach.. mostly rocks long walk to find any sand only amenities at the nearest car park 800 metres away

  • 5/5 Yamyulak 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous beach. The clearest waters I've seen in Victoria so far. As it was a low tide day, it was easy to go further in the water. The clothing optional side of the beach is nice place indeed! I only wished that it was closer to the city.

  • 1/5 Wayne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily the most polluted beach in Victoria. Almost every 10cm there is Rubbish and is comparable to Asian countries.

  • 4/5 Levi F. 5 years ago on Google
    Beach was clean, just be sure to go before 5 to avoid any unwanted attention. Not ideal for swimming and obviously keep in mind this is a 'clothes optional' beach.

  • 5/5 Carl Robert H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jason G. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome place.

  • 3/5 Nicholas R. 5 years ago on Google
    View beautiful sunsets from here. The only problem is it isn't easily accessible as you have to walk over rocks etc to get too. There is a school camp there to so you have to be mindful of general public nearby. Most of the time it's okay. Parking can be difficult on nice days. There is toilets and showers there.
