NATURIST CODE OF ETHICS

Respect non-Naturist neighbours. Use appropriate covering outside the accepted clothing-optional area.

Respect others’ privacy. Sit at a comfortable distance from others. Respect your neighbour’s space. Looking is normal, but staring is rude and unacceptable behaviour.

Lewd or derogatory comments are immature and unwelcome. Keep music volume low.

No sexual activity. Responsible Naturist beach users have zero tolerance for lewd behaviour. We actively support the arrest and prosecution of all sexual offenders.

Photos: Ask first! Practice common courtesy, and ask for the consent of your subjects before taking any photos. Minors should never be photographed without the express consent of parents. All photography must be free of lewd content.

Keeping it clean & pristine. Don’t litter. Keep the beach clean – pick up stray litter you find. Glass containers are NOT allowed on the beach.

 Smokers – cigarette butts do NOT belong in the sea or on the sand, dispose of them properly. 

Stay out of the dunes and other environmentally sensitive areas.

Do your part as a good citizen to keep the beach safe and secure for all. Don’t tolerate inappropriate behaviour, but report it to council patrol or the police at once. An effective hold-up for perves is their own medicine – stare at them persistently!
