Sydney's premier gay nude beach. A secluded LGBTQ+ haven with harbor views and clear water, perfect for sun-seeking gay men.
Welcome to Obelisk Beach, Sydney’s legendary shoreline and a crown jewel on the global gay map. Tucked away in the lush Middle Head region of Sydney Harbour National Park, this premier nude beach is the ultimate destination for gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community seeking a liberating escape. Known for its golden sands and calm, crystal-clear harbor waters, Obelisk offers a more intimate and social vibe than the city’s larger surf beaches. Getting here is half the adventure; a short, scenic hike down stone steps from Chowder Bay Road leads you to this secluded queer sanctuary. Once you arrive, the atmosphere is one of total freedom and respect. As an officially recognized clothing-optional area, it’s the perfect spot to shed your inhibitions and enjoy the Australian sun in good company. While the energy picks up during the summer months and Mardi Gras season, it remains a tranquil spot for swimming and sunbathing year-round. Keep in mind that Obelisk Beach is a natural treasure with no cafes or amenities, so be sure to pack your own water, snacks, and plenty of sunscreen. Whether you’re looking to meet fellow queer travelers or simply want to experience Sydney’s most scenic clothing-optional spot, this beach is an essential addition to your travel itinerary. Experience the best of Sydney’s outdoor queer culture at this iconic harbor-side gem.
