Other planned events: Kings Beach – not clothing optional

Kings Beach in Broken Head Nature Reserve is a culturally significant place for local Aboriginal people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. For decades, the beach has been a place for social connection, leisure, and at times grief - with the ashes of people lost to AIDS scattered there over the years.

Kings Beach continues to be a place for the LGBTQIA+ community to enjoy, however due to increased visitation and the shared nature of this beloved destination, Kings Beach is not a designated clothing optional area.

All visitors have the right to feel safe and enjoy the beach without harassment and NPWS Officers play an important role in conserving this protected habitat. Please comply with the Broken Head Reserve Plan of Management and respect each other’s right to enjoy the beach in peace and safety.
