Maslin Beach

Maslin Beach is a coastal beach located in the suburb of Maslin Beach within the City of Onkaparinga, south of Adelaide, South Australia. Backed by dramatic cliffs and fronting Gulf St Vincent, it is nationally notable as Australia's first officially declared nude beach in 1975. The beach features a long sandy shoreline divided into clothed and clothing-optional sections, attracting swimmers, walkers and sunbathers seeking a natural coastal setting.

Visitors can expect a long sandy beach backed by ochre cliffs and dunes on the Gulf St Vincent coastline, about 40 km south of Adelaide. The beach is divided into a northern clothed section and a southern clothing-optional (nude) section beyond the cliffs. Facilities are located at the cliff-top car park with stairs leading down to the sand. The setting is natural and relatively undeveloped, suitable for swimming, sunbathing, coastal walks and photography, with open views across the gulf.

In February 1975, Maslin Beach was declared Australia's first official nude beach by the South Australian Government, establishing a legally recognised clothing-optional area at the southern end of the beach.

The beach is nationally recognised for its association with naturism in Australia and is known for its natural coastal character and long-standing use as a clothing-optional recreation area.
