Post #14 - Swanbourne Beach - Nudist destination review

Destination - Swanbourne beach (clothing optional beach). 
Location - Perth, Australia.

Official link - N/A

Brief background

• This is one of the two legal nude beaches within or near Perth city, as of 2018.
• The distance from Perth city centre is almost 12 kms and with public transport one needs to walk  just 1.5 kms, approximately, amidst beautiful residential areas to reach the beach.
• North section of the Swanbourne beach has a designated clothing optional section.

Brief review

Detailed review

Weather 

• Sunny, 29-30 degrees Celsius.
• I checked the temperature later on timeanddate.com by browsing to past dates. Although 29 to 30 degrees, but it felt a bit colder.

Visitors

• Less than 8 in the clothing optional section.
• Given that January is a good season, I expected a larger crowd. Just to give some better idea, my visits to all the nude beaches in Perth were pretty similar - nil to little participation by people, although all those visits were on weekdays, I don't think weekend visits would have been much different. 
• During the same season, in Adelaide, I saw a more healthier participation. On a regular weekend, the participation was higher, and on the day of the annual nudist games, it was huge. Check my review of Pilwarren Maslin beach nude games.

Entry 

• Free and open. 
• No "couple only" entry rules.

Nudity rules  

• Clothing optional board was there designating the section of beach.

Gender ratio

• Almost all were men. Don't remember seeing any woman within the clothing optional area.

States of undress

• Roughly 30% men naked, no women naked or within clothing optional area.

Age bracket ratio

• (18-40) : 40+ was roughly 5 : 1.
• There were few houses within a stone's throw from the demarcation of the clothing optional section. There were many kids playing in the vicinity, but not even one of them looked curious to venture into that section. They seemed pretty normal with their daily affairs. 

Racial composition

• Whites and yellows could be seen. One nude man seemed to be an East Asian. If the term yellow in this context is new for you, refer color terminology for races and this map distribution.

Ethnic composition 

• No information.

Body sizes ratio

• No plus size.

Solo visitors present

• Yes, males only.

Interaction level 

• Low.

Sexual activities observed 

• No, but one same sex male couple was naked behind the sand dunes.
