Governor’s Beach

Historic reports

2004: A Barefoot reporter found a small area of dark sand but like numerous other contributors to this site found local “gawkers” annoying.
Others arrived to find no-one on the beach but, unbelievably, two men in cars with binoculars presumably waiting for naturists to arrive! My reporters parked themselves out of sight behind some rocks but soon one of the gawkers appeared on foot above us and wandered back and forth for some time. Others in 4WD or pick-ups drove back and forth on the dirt road above. This combined with the fact that there was a lot of rubbish dumped at the back of the beach and oil/tar at the high tide mark made it sufficiently unpleasant for my contributors to pack up and leave in less than an hour.

2006 October: Barefooters were the only male/female couple on this stretch of white chalky rocks. There are a few small beach areas. They found it a very comfortable area, however there are a lot of “gawkers” mainly locals, and unfortunately a “snap happy” English guy who was a pest! Apart from that it is nice. My reporters say it is generally known as an “all male” area, if that matters, however this did not alter my contributors’ enjoyment. Quite a few naturists there, locals and tourists alike.

2018: April: Exposed coastline and not much shelter from wind! We advise checking the weather before visiting and perhaps avoid when there is a strong on-shore breeze.

We feel the area is somewhat overrated as, although expansive, the foreshore is mostly rock, however, there are some flat areas on the rocks where it is possible sunbathe.

Even in early April there we quite a few walkers, people fishing from the rocks and vehicles cruising around so not a lot of privacy! That said, there are a few, very small sandy beaches and some nice secluded places among the rocks.

The waves were being driven well up onto the foreshore so finding a bit of dry sand wasn’t easy. The sea was too rough and dangerous to swim when we visited. Submerged rocks could be hazardous for swimming even in calmer conditions but the water was clear so at least they are visible!

Some of the secluded sandy spots are only accessible by wading around the rocks!
