For beautiful surroundings (not to mention the gorgeous landscape), head out to Lady Jane Beach on a sunny afternoon. Nudity isn't only optional here, it's expected by the regulars (tourists have made a point of coming for a look-see). So drop those board shorts: eye candy awaits you, and maybe a little more if you're lucky.

We loved every minute of our two week stay in Australia. We didn’t swim here, but we visited and have pictures I think
Expect to take it off and have your pic taken!
Lady jane is very convinient by public transport, city buses and ferry, and a very beautiful beach. However, it is a nude beach and you will be given the stink eye if you dont bare it all so be prepared to do so and be prepared to have your picture taken by all the tourist above you and even on the beach! Yes they come down to the beach and just snap snap snap without your permission. Also, its a cruise beach, which i find disgusting, but at leat everything is done out of sight and in the rocks! So if youjust want to get sun all over and erase the tan lines then stay on te beach and let it hang (if you can, the water is freezing cold and you get a cool breeze so be ware growers! This is a showers beach!) outside of that its a nice gay beach and very scenic on the way.
The bears favourite beach
Not that easy to get too, but well worth it. Less heavy waves than at Bondi and more secluded, popular with bears including regular "Bears Beach Days" held by the Harbour City Bears.
what great views from there
great place to spend some time at views across the harbour are wonderful
Sydney's Other Nude Beach
Lady Jane Beach is great in that it's easily accessable from the centre of Sydney by taking the ferry to Watson's Bay from Circular Quay (Don't forget to check the time of the last ferry back!). However it is rather small and rocky (especially when the tide is in), and there are both people who perve on the beach from the path above as well as those who stand in the water and flash at the walkers - both of which are rather tacky. Far nicer, more secluded and more cruisy is Obelisk Beach on the opposite side of the harbour.
