Warnbro Beach was such a great choice for a chilled day out with my friend. It’s the second most popular nude beach in the Perth area after Swanbourne Beach, but it definitely felt more relaxed and a little less crowded. We’d heard mixed reviews about the place, so we were curious to see what it was really like, and honestly, we left pleasantly surprised. The walk to the beach from the car park was super easy—just a quick stroll over the dunes, and you’re there. From the access point, it’s a short walk south to the official nude section, and the path is well-marked, which is always a win when you’re trying a new spot. The sand was so soft and white, it felt amazing underfoot, and the beach itself is massive, so there’s plenty of room to find your perfect spot. We’d read about some dodgy stuff happening in the dunes, so we made sure to avoid that area and set up near where the couples were hanging out. It was such a good call because everyone was so friendly and welcoming—it made the whole experience feel really comfortable. There were definitely a few blokes wandering in and out of the dunes, but they didn’t bother anyone while we were there, which was a relief. That said, we’d still probably hesitate to recommend it for solo first-timers, just to be on the safe side. The water looked incredible—clear, shallow, and that beautiful turquoise color you can’t help but love. Unfortunately, we didn’t go in for a swim because the wind started picking up, and we didn’t want to deal with getting sandblasted on the way back. At one point, we thought we saw dolphins out in the distance, which got us so excited, but nope—just the waves playing tricks on us. Still, the view was stunning, and it was such a peaceful spot to sit and soak it all in. There aren’t any facilities right on the nude section, but the toilets and showers in the textile area aren’t too far if you need them. The lack of amenities didn’t bother us too much since we came prepared, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind if you’re planning a visit. All in all, it was such a good day out. Warnbro Beach might not have the same buzz as Swanbourne Beach, but that’s part of its charm. It’s definitely more of a locals’ spot, which we actually really liked. My friend and I both felt really comfortable there, and it was a great place to just relax, unwind, and enjoy the Aussie sunshine. We’ll definitely be back—hopefully next time with some actual dolphins to top it off! Questions? Comments? Add your thoughts or photos below!

Getting There
Warnbro Beach is located about 52 kilometers south of Perth’s city center, making it a convenient option for a day trip. It’s easy to find and access, whether you’re driving or using public transport. Warnbro Beach is well-signposted, and the short walk from the car park to the beach is easy, making it an accessible and relaxed spot for a day out.
By Car:
Driving to Warnbro Beach is straightforward and offers plenty of parking. Take the Kwinana Freeway south from Perth, then exit onto Safety Bay Road. Follow the signs toward Warnbro, and head for Bayeux Avenue, which leads to the main car park near the beach. The parking lot is close to the beach access point, and it’s just a short stroll over the dunes to reach the shoreline. From there, walk south about 200 meters to reach the designated nude section of the beach. Be mindful of leaving valuables in your car as the car park has had occasional break-in reports.
By Public Transport:
Taking public transport isn't too hard, take the Mandurah Line train from Perth and get off at Warnbro Station. From the station, you can take a short taxi ride or a local bus to reach the beach area. The bus stop is a bit of a walk from the car park, so keep that in mind if you’re carrying a lot of gear.
