Swanbourne Beach

The Life On Perth team actually own swimwear, so have never had the need to test out the Swanbourne sands. What we can tell you is that it runs into South City Beach. So just read the South City Beach welcome sign and imagine the word "No" is rubbed out in front of Nude Bathing. If you have no imagination just check out the sign on the right.

PERTH ALERT: The nude section of Swanbourne is a couple of hundred metres north of the family area. Mix these two up and you could be in big trouble! The whole nudist thing is totally unofficial, but tolerated, only because the beach is on army land.

BE ON ALERT: There is one more small thing. Some people visit a nude beach for the sights. Swanbourne is no different, except our sights sit on top of rifles. There is a live rifle range behind the dunes, so you'll need more than 30+ sunscreen to protect your privates on firing days. You guessed it. Even on a cold winter's day, Swanbourne will always have an arsenal behind the dunes.

Being totally exposed might be a thrill. Being totally exposed to live rifle fire is just plain dangerous.

The rifle range is located behind the sand dunes. Pictured here during a live firing day, we observe a Nude-Clear weapon passing overhead.
