Little Palm Beach, New Zealand - Tolerated Nude Beach

	Little Palm Beach is located on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf and is a 35 minute ferry journey from Quay Street in Auckland's city centre. There is a bus from the ferry terminal to Palm Beach. When you get there walk past the rocks on your left to the nude beach. The sand here is golden and there is fine snorkelling off the rocky headland. Very popular with nude bathers.
This beach has been a safe nude beach since a 1970s attempt to prosecute a nude bather was very publicly lost by the authorities.

LITTLE PALM BEACH NUDE REPORTS:

1. Waiheke Island, by virtue of the QuickCat boat service, has become almost a suburb of Auckland, with many islanders commuting to the city to work each day. The ferry ticket can include the cost of the bus trip to Palm Beach or you can hire bikes or mopeds for the day. Walk from Palm Beach around the rocks or over the headland to your left. Swimming is perfect and the local grocery store is only a five minute walk down the beach, if you can be bothered getting dressed. - The Free Beach Group


2. There is an great report on Little Palm Beach here on the excellent Nudism in NZ website which contains many more reports from New Zealand's nude beaches.
