I know nude beaches aren't everyone's cup of tea, but personally, I absolutely adore them for the freedom they offer. There’s something incredibly liberating about swimming au naturel and feeling that deep connection with the ocean, plus it's fantastic for getting a tan without those pesky bikini lines. Coral Beach in Bowen, Queensland, is a true gem for those who share this appreciation. It’s tucked away for privacy, so while it might seem hidden, just punch “Coral Beach” into your maps.

You’ll need to take a short walk past some smaller beaches and navigate around a few rock formations, but you'll spot the nude beach thanks to a large rock marked with "nude beach, clothing removal here" in paint. The vibe here is incredibly laid-back, with its soft, white sand and crystal-clear waters creating a stunning backdrop. The gentle waves and vibrant coral reefs add to the charm, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful retreat. Just be sure to respect the natural environment and enjoy the tranquility of this beautiful coastal haven.
