Papamoa Beach, New Zealand - Tolerated Nude Beach

	Papamoa Beach in the Bay of Plenty is backed by sand dunes which are now patrolled by the local police due to the incidents referred to in this article. However, the main beach is still fine for nude bathing and very family-friendly. The nude section of the beach is signposted about 1km from the end of Papamoa Beach Road (see map link below).
