Work to design and install nude beach warning signage at Tasmania’s first official “clothing optional” beach has begun.
In December 2023, the West Tamar Council voted to turn the remote Pebble Beach, also known as First Little Beach, at Boobyalla Bay in the Narawntapu National Park into a nudist area.
The decision was prompted by a request from a female member of the naturist community.
To inform visitors of the switch, the council authorised Parks and Wildlife (PWS) to install appropriate signage indicating that Pebble Beach is clothing-optional.
“PWS is seeking your feedback on the location of the signage and what, if any, other actions PWS should consider in their role as land manager,” PWS say.
“PWS are not seeking submissions as to whether West Tamar Council’s decision to authorise Pebble Beach as clothing optional is appropriate or otherwise, or on matters that are related to the Police Offences Act 1935.”
The month-long consultation period will finish on June 2 and signage is expected to be installed shortly after.
Pebble Beach is a short walk off Gardner’s Road, around 1.1 kilometres inside Narawntapu National Park, near the township of Greens Beach in northern Tasmania.
