Queensland on the Verge of First Nude Beach

Public opinion is on the side of Free Beaches Australia in making Alexandra Bay an official nude beach, but money could be the deciding factor.
The group stages an annual Nude Olympics at Alexandra bay that draws about 600 people.

But that number could skyrocket with the approval of a legal beach, according to group vice president Mark Hayter.

He said Queensland had been missing out tourism dollars due to its stance on beach nudity.

"We get a lot of calls from people in New Zealand and other countries asking where our legal nude beaches are and when we say we don't have one it scares them off,'' Mr Hayter said.
