Southside Beach, Nude beach in Victoria, Australia
Southside Beach extends for one kilometer between Bells and Jarosite Headlands, featuring fine sand and waves averaging 1.5 meters in height.
The beach received its official clothing-optional status through the Nudity Prescribed Areas Act of 1983, replacing a previous nude beach west of Point Addis.
Southside Beach maintains a community of visitors who appreciate natural sunbathing and swimming while respecting established clothing-optional beach protocols.
Access requires either a long steep walk from Bells Beach western car park or using the wooden staircase from Point Addis Road to reach the designated area.
The beach features an amphitheater formation of slumped sands and clays, creating a natural 10-meter-high bluff along its back section.
