Nude Sunbathers being booked again in A-Bay, Noosa by disgraceful officiers
Return to DiscussionsIt is really disgraceful to see what the officers did in A-Bay (3 Nov 2016) this morning.
I was there at around 11:00am and saw 2 officers in casual wears, they were issuing tickets to some people (including a couple from New Zealand) and after the officers finished their business, they hid under the trees and waiting for new comers to the beach. After people stripped off and walked down to the water, and by the time they came back up, the officers approached them and give them tickets.
The most appalling and disgraceful thing I saw was when a nudist couple (they are pensioners) walked back up from the water to put something on, one of the officers ran to them and booked the man without booking the woman.
These officers behaved like hunters looking for a prey on the beach, they are merciless, even booking the two peaceful pensioners. I believe this couple had been enjoying the beach for decades, long before these arrogant officers were born!!!
Are these officers supposed to have something more important things to do? Are they really upholding the law (should they give warning first before and enforce it?) or they are actually trying to raise revenue?
I am really upset by what I saw this morning and wonder if anyone in this group would be able to help, or to suggest ideas for our lovely A-Bay!
Cheers!
apart from all the pervs that you see at A Bay the police is the other reason why I don't go there anymore I would rather just go to a quiet beach and sunbake in the nude when I can
This is really a bummer!
We are an American couple that just
sailed into Bundaberg from the South Pacific. Since all the island
countries are ultra conservative, we've not been to a nude beach in over
a year. We were hoping to pop into Mooloolaba, park the boat, and go
to the beach for some well earned naked time. We found it on
NakedPlaces.net
The thing for us is that it's practically the
only nude beach that has a harbor nearby. We are making our way down to
Sydney, we'll be able to find something there, but we wondered if we
should just go a try A-beach anyways. If they ticket us, well, would
it matter? What does a ticket cost anyways? What i we just blow it
off? Since we are leaving the country in Feb, lol, would they put
Interpol on us?
Please PM us if you have an opinion or 2 alternate suggestions please? It would be much appreciated.
I also think of using the social media to start a campaign as One Person One Letter (OPOL) to send letters to the Queensland Premier and express our will to have nude beaches in Queensland as in other states. And I think we should focus on the points that:-
- We are Queenslanders and we don't want to be going backward and left behind by other states,- It would be easier to manage in a designated area on the beach with clear signs for nudists, not lewdist,- We feel more comfortable within the designated area, where police can uphold the law in other areas of the beach,- Hikers and tourists will not get shock to see naturists on the beach and would not make complaints just because of that, and- The economic benefits for a cloth optional beach as a tourist attraction.
I wish by having a collaborative effort of all the people in Queensland (no matter they are naturists or not) would be able to inspire and convince the Government, the law makers and the police to alter their stone age thinking! (sorry, probably people accepting naturist more in stone age cause I believe it was not a must to wear something in those days!)
Any other thoughts please, Queenslanders?

We just sailed on past Noosa and went to Mooloolaba instead. That's a few dollars the local area won't receive. Hope the local council is thinking about their local businesses! Looking forward to beaches further down south.
