Obelisk Beach

When you hear the word obelisk, your first thoughts may orient to Paris and its famed Obelisk in Place de la Concorde. Australia has its own interpretation of the word in the form of Obelisk Beach, perhaps Sydney’s most popular gay nude beach. When it’s warm, naturists flock to Obelisk Beach to soak up vitamin D and mingle with other LGBTQ folk. The 100-meter stretch of sand welcomes loads of nude gay guys who come to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and scenic views across the bay.

While Obelisk Beach is located on the inner-city North Shore, not far from Mosman, it can be challenging to reach. The easiest option is to walk roughly 100 meters down Chowder Bay Road and look for steps leading down to the beach. While this is a clothing-optional gay beach, visitors won’t be pressured should they wish to remain in their bathing suits. As the beach is a little difficult to reach, and there aren’t any cafes or restaurants on the shore, we recommend making all the essential refreshments for a relaxing day at this gay beach in Sydney.
