Sunnyside North Beach is the clothing-optional section of the Mount Eliza foreshore on Port Phillip Bay, southeast of Melbourne, Victoria. It's one of the few designated naturist beaches serving the greater Melbourne area.
Know before you go
Only the signed northern section is designated clothing-optional, with the rest of the foreshore remaining a standard beach, so watch for posted boundaries. Bay conditions are generally calmer than ocean beaches, making it accessible for a range of swimmers.
