Swanbourne's nudist section is an expanse of white sand about 2km long and wider than two football fields, backed by grassy dunes and well screened from adjacent suburbia by a fenced reserve of bushland. Access is easy. Drive to the end of Grant St, and park at the Swanbourne-Nedlands surf club. Then it's but a short stroll north along the beach to the nude area.
Parking is free, and on weekends the carpark does fill early.
From here it's a direct 1km walk west along Grant St till you hit the beach. Food and drinks are available from the surf club kiosk, which remains open until sunset. For the convenience of those not wishing to don clothes for a walk to the kiosk, a colourful motorcycle vendor with trailer in tow purrs back and forth along the sand at roughly 45 min intervals, selling ice-cream, refreshments, sandwiches and snack food to the starving throng. Beach volleyball is played in the middle of the sand, on a court permanently marked out by corner pegs and poles all fixed in buried concrete. Situated well below the Tropics, the azure Indian Ocean waters which lap Perth's shoreline are free of stingers and dangerous jellyfish, so swimming and body surfing are the order of the day.
