Samurai Beach

Samurai Beach occupies the northern part of One Mile Beach near One Mile in New South Wales. Visitors use the marked One Mile Beach access points, park at the One Mile Beach car park, then walk north along the sand to the section reported for clothing-optional use. The walk is entirely on soft sand, with no paved path, so light footwear, water, sunscreen, a hat, and a bag for supplies make the trip more comfortable. There is no direct public transport to the beach, and most visitors arrive by private vehicle or taxi from nearby towns. The car park can fill on warm weekends and summer holidays, so morning arrival generally works better. The beach surface is sand, backed by low dunes and vegetation. There is little natural shade on the open sand, and sun exposure is high both on shore and in the water. Warmest conditions generally run from late spring to early autumn, with November to March the most comfortable period for swimming and sunbathing. Winter brings cooler and windier weather. The water is open surf with waves and currents, suited to confident swimmers. Morning and early afternoon generally offer calmer wind and better swimming conditions. There is no lifeguard service in the northern naturist section, with patrols nearer the main One Mile Beach area when present. There are no toilets, showers, or food and drink outlets in the naturist section. Public toilets and picnic facilities are located near the main beach access, so plan accordingly. Dogs are generally restricted from the main beach and naturist swimming area. Visits often last a half day for swimming, walking, and sunbathing. The isolated position offers privacy, but care is needed with surf, sun exposure, and personal belongings because there are no lockers or supervised areas.
