This is a list of social nudity places in Oceania for recreation. Includes free beaches (or clothing-optional beaches or nude beaches) and some resorts.

- Rosco Club Incorporated
Northern Territory
- Casuarina Beach, Darwin
Queensland
Until recently,[when?] there were no legal nude beaches in Queensland. However, following a successful appeal from Ken Wenzel, a Sunshine Coast artist and nudist, the Queensland Summary Offences Act 2005 has been ruled not to apply to licensed free beaches.[clarification needed] The Queensland Labor state government and the Sunshine Coast Regional Council have said that they will now consider any approaches for legal nude beaches in Queensland.
Current quasi-legal beaches are:
- Alexandria Bay (known as "A Bay") near Noosa is a popular spot with nudists and arguably the most tolerated nude beach.[2]
- Bribie Island - Remote beaches on Bribie were once popular with nudists, though Moreton Bay rangers as well as police now regularly patrol this remote island.
South Australia
The following beaches in South Australia are used by nudists:
- Maslin Beach [3]
- Ocean Beach near Robe
- Pelican Point, Barmera
- Murrippi Beach, near Whyalla
Tasmania
In Tasmania nudists use the following beaches:
- Bakers Beach (not Legal, be discreet)
Victoria
Victoria has more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) of coastline with hundreds of beaches.[4] Four of those beaches are legal clothes-optional beaches:[5]
- Sunnyside North Beach, Mount Eliza, Port Philip Bay on the Mornington Peninsula
- Point Impossible Beach, Torquay, West Coast
- Southside Beach, near Bells Beach, West Coast
- Campbell's Cove
The following are not legal nudist beaches but are used by nudists:
Western Australia
The following are legal nudist beaches in Western Australia:[6]
- North Swanbourne beach
- Warnbro Beach, Rockingham[7]
- Mindalong Beach, Bunbury
- Mauritius Beach, Exmouth[8] 21°48′33″S 114°05′42″E / 21.80917°S 114.09500°E
