Summary
A new push to prohibit beach nudism in Byron Shire is seen as an assault on a well-established cultural practice, with the intention based on prejudiced and poorly researched assumptions. Despite a majority of the Shire currently being clothing-only, naturists argue for the mental health and community benefits of naturism and advocate for collaboration with authorities to manage any behavioral issues at the beaches.
