Little Diggers Beach is a private oasis, tucked away from the other bustling beaches of the Mid North Coast. This place is world class and really surprised us because it is relatively unknown outside the region. Apart from surfers, the only people putting in the effort to get here are nude beach enthusiasts. Venturing there late afternoon on a scorching hot weekday, we half-expected to be the only souls. To our surprise, a few others were also soaking in the sun au-naturale. Word has it that the beach gets busier on weekends, but there’s ample space to accommodate everyone.
A word of caution: there are no lifeguards here, and the surf can be pretty unforgiving. If swimming isn’t your strong suit, best stay on the shore. For those chasing the sun, come early. By late afternoon, the sun takes refuge behind the hill, casting shadows over a good portion of the beach. We, along with a few others, found ourselves constantly relocating our towels closer to the water to catch the last of the sun. The beach’s cove location provides some shelter from the strong northerly winds common in the area. However, when the wind shifts, it can get pretty breezy with direct gusts from the Pacific Ocean.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Little Diggers Beach and couldn’t help but wish it was closer to home! It’s a must-visit if you’re in Coffs Harbour or journeying through the Mid North Coast. And a small piece of advice: Google’s directions aren’t the most reliable for this spot. Parking in nearby residential streets isn’t appreciated by the locals. Instead, park at the spots mentioned below and embrace the brief scenic walk in this stunning region. We opted for the easy beach walk to start and followed the bush track out of the beach – once you’ve done it once, you won’t have any issues. Maybe avoid trail-finding if there’s low light; walking trails near cliffs at night isn’t the best idea!
Little Diggers Beach is close to BreakFree Resort which sits 100 meters away from the nude beach and is directly on the sand. This place would be the perfect option to stay in Coffs if you wanted an au naturale holiday. The resort, from our brief observation, seemed top-notch with vast green expanses to lounge around (though it is not a nude hotel!). You could spend your entire day at the beach and then amble back along the shore as evening sets in. Sounds like a slice of paradise!

It’s a good beach
If you travel 1hr south from Coffs you come to south west rocks look for north Smokey beach at the smokey cape lighthouse much better than digers 700m of sand sun all day and shade if you want also a lot easier access
Nice except for the old fat guy walking around.
Creepy
Please “Auxe”, nudists also grow old and fat. The idea of nudism is to transcend the concept of body. Please don’t say that being old and fat is creepy, because if he was just walking around enjoying being a nudist, and nothing more, then understanding and tolerance of the nudist philosophy applies to both of you. One day, you too will be old. I was young and beautiful once too, now I am not. I hope you are not disgusted if you ever see me.
