Summary
Concerns about the future of Pelican Point, a designated clothing-optional beach jointly managed by the Berri Barmera Council and the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, have been raised by local naturists following access restrictions during flood clean-up activities. The closure of the beach has led to frustration among users who are seeking answers on when they will be allowed to use the area again. Additionally, the lack of communication about the closure has affected tourists who visit the beach, and the issue is part of a larger effort by the Australian Naturist Federation to maintain access to nudist beaches.
